Boston Crab And Variant

My favorite is a good crab where I am sitting on the back of the guy’s head. But I’ve met very few guys with that level of flexibility. Maybe I just shouldn’t care how flexible they are. 😈😈

I don't bend that far but you can force my body to bend that far, bounce and enjoy my screams when I can get air.

That seems very painful 🤯

Some good Boston Crab advice there .

Thanks dude 😊

The successful execution of a Boston crab, a grappling move commonly seen in professional wrestling, requires a strategic approach and precise technique. The fundamental aspect of applying this move is to ensure that you have the opponent's legs securely locked under your arms. This is achieved by hooking one of your arms around one of their legs and the other arm around the other leg, creating a firm and unyielding grip. It is crucial to maintain this lock to prevent them from escaping or countering the hold.

Once you have established the lock, the next step is to position yourself so that you are sitting on the opponent's back. This not only immobilizes them but also provides you with the necessary base to exert pressure on their lower body. By sitting on their back, you effectively control their torso and prevent them from using their upper body strength to break free.

Next, you must engage your own body weight and the power of your legs to apply pressure on the opponent's back. Lean back slowly and deliberately, utilizing the leverage provided by your legs to increase the stress on their spine and hips. It is essential to avoid rushing this process, as doing so may cause the opponent to resist more vigorously or potentially sustain an injury. Instead, ease into the lean, allowing their back to arch gradually as the pressure builds. This gradual increase in tension ensures that the move is as effective as possible while minimizing the risk of a sudden escape or harm.

As the opponent's back arches, you will likely notice that they begin to experience considerable discomfort. This is the moment when the effectiveness of the Boston crab truly comes into play. Continue to apply pressure until you feel that they have reached their threshold of pain and are no longer capable of withstanding the hold. At this point, they typically signal their submission by tapping on the mat or on you repeatedly. This tapping is an internationally recognized sign in wrestling that indicates the person wishes to concede the match due to the intense pain or discomfort being inflicted.

However, even after the opponent has tapped out, it is not advisable to abruptly release the hold. Instead, maintain the pressure but ease off slightly. This serves two purposes: it allows you to continue punishing them for a brief period, demonstrating your dominance in the match, and it prevents them from immediately counterattacking. By controlling the release of the hold, you can ensure that your opponent is sufficiently weakened before they are allowed to recover.

Moreover, you can rock back and forth on their back while keeping the legs locked, which adds an extra element of torment and further strains their spine and hips. This additional movement not only causes them more pain but also breaks any remaining resolve they may have to endure the hold. It is a psychological tactic that reinforces the message of your superiority in the match.

Only once you are fully satisfied with the punishment inflicted and the opponent has clearly had enough should you decide to release the hold. Do so with confidence, knowing that you have effectively applied the Boston crab and achieved your objective of gaining the upper hand in the match. The move's impact can be lasting, both physically and mentally, leaving your opponent in a vulnerable position and potentially setting up for additional offensive maneuvers.

Great boston 🤯

Thank you, buddy. As someone who appreciates the Boston Crab as much as I do, and can actually pull it off, your praise really means a lot.

Great positioning of your hands on the knees, you get greater leverage and more pressure on the spine

The spine was on fire

You have complete control of him, as long as you keep control of legs using the knees, it is great to sit back and enjoy every second

I know I do

I feel very comfortable sat on his lower back

That's a perfect crab and I'm hella jealous no one is around to punish me that way...

Thanks dude 😈

You look it
And when you hear the sound of their hand slapping the mat to Tapout is the best feeling

Yes but I dont stop

Neither do I
Always keep the hold on after a submission

When setting it up grab his legs above the knees and lift him up so only his head and shoulders are touching the floor.

Then turn him around and sit back as far as you can.
