2nd Black Belt
It's weird, but I have developed over my life a tendency to attack an opponents lead arm and follow it into their body where I then try to take control of the head / neck. Gross motor control - not small circle stuff
It's weird because I developed this preference outside of the training floor. I was taught to fight like a kickboxer for many years before I was taught to close and grapple, but I have always tended to like it up close and personal in any real encounter.
the technique of following the arm was never actually taught to me at all as we tended to try to divert the limbs away and slip them to attack the trunk, but I just naturally feel comfortable trying to control the arm for some reason.
