Wrist Grab Cross-Side – Introduction

Like the previous technique this one is just as likely to occur. The difference in being grabbed on the same side or cross side is usually just a matter of where you are standing in relation to the attacker. Although this technique is slightly different as it utilizes a new concept which is to pull your elbow to your hip, the basic methodology is the same. Focus on the position of the attackers thumb and always break free in that direction.

You will notice once the elbow connects to the hip when performing this breakaway, it does not move and when she breaks free she uses both hands and her entire body and not just her bicep. Always use your body as a whole and not separate parts of it.
