Then why not simply show the image of the Shaolin ground technique that does this?
This is another difference between what you are attempting to do with your Shaolin "ground" techniques and what BJJ does. In BJJ, there is no imagining things. You simply use the techniques exactly the way you are shown them.
Notice that in both clips, neither arm is extended the way your image showed.Quote:
No. The arms in the action I've been describing work just like either of these two videos show. This is a pretty basic and standard trap, bridge, and roll escape, however you like to call it. Extending the arm is essential for the leverage in this technique to work.
