dude keeps grabbing my fingers

like grabbing 1 or 2 of my fingers and bending them when im going for a rnc or when hes breaking my grips. should i talk to him directly, tell my instructor, or just attack him next time were rolling:icon_twis

im not sure if he does it with other people but its happened 3 times with me.

 

Curl your fingers under when you do the RNC. Like a bear paw, and then squeeze until his head pops...he will have no fingers to grab.

 

ill keep that in mind. I thought that bending fingers wasnt really a cool thing to do

 

Just tell him straight up you're not allowed to grab fingers. Do it right when it happens, I've done it plenty of times. It's small joint manipulation, tell them they'd be disqualified if they do that in a tourney. If they start in about that "training for the street" shit, tell them they won't have anybody to train with if they keep grabbing people's fingers. We all (for the most part) have to work the next day, don't put up with that crap.

EDIT: Also enjoy the bear-paw, make sure to grind your thumb knuckle along their entire chin-line

However I've had this happen on more occasions than just going for RNC's. Some people will grab on to anything to survive and wrenching fingers about isn't cool in my books.

 

what do you mean by " just attack him next time" ?

 

If he says he is "training for the street" then grab his fucking nutsack, and poke him in the eyes.

 

this.

I do a closed fist and shove it at the back of his head and grind the knuckles on his scalp.

 

seriously, tell him that is not allowed as that can really f you up. I did that one of my first classes and the other dude was pissed-- like thought it might be a fight type pissed.

 

Ouch.

 

lol wasnt being serious but we used that terminology on my old wrestling team for doing everything you can to inflict pain within the rules

grinding chin into back extremely hard cross faces ect.


ill remember to keep my fingers curled (thnx) and tell him straight up before we roll next time. if it happens again ill talk the instructor

 

Bas says kick him in the groin.

 

I always used to like the old driving your elbow points into the base of his skull in order to break him down for half nelson or something.

Awful, awful people.

 

hah wrestlers can be pretty mean

 

Yeah this is the best answer. Just bear paw and squeeeeeeeeeeze.

 

Tell him to stop that stuff, and if he continues or gives you crap about "training for the streets" bear paw your hands like other said. If he continues to try to grab your fingers try to choke him as hard as you can (rough lapel chokes work good for putting cocky assholes away).

If he continues, tell your instructor

 

Just to clarify, I thought that it was okay to break someone's grip by grabbing their fingers provided you were not bending them backwards as a submission. Also, the key word is fingers plural not just one finger.

 

The rule in my gym is 3 fingers, always 3 or more fingers and you're good.

 

if he does that again, forget the RNC under the neck ....crank the choke over his nose 100%

 

"Under the forehead, it's all neck"

 

haha yeah the chin one still gets me... i've gotta catch myself from time to time... most of the time now i only resort to the shoulder of justice but i think that's pretty tame.

but anyway to the OP just tell him don't go tattle to the instructor that's pretty lame. if it was me and he kept doing it i would start working my wrist locks....
