Accepted Incorrectness

By Scott Keith on 8 September 2018

There are certain moves like the Sharpshooter or Single Leg Boston Crab that work the back, but typically the psychology is all about working the legs. We accept this cuz the psychology/story is usually sound & visually it does look like a move on the legs.

Can you think of any other moves where the reality is it does damage to one body part, but the "wrestling reality" is it is doing damage to a different part?

Yeah, the figure four! The psychology is all about applying it onto the injured leg, which is bent, but it’s actually putting pressure on the STRAIGHT leg while in the hold!
