Jace is a true leg wrestler, ensnaring his opponent in his legs and applying a tight grip to squeeze out a submission, sometimes combined with a choke or full nelson. His victim doesn’t have a chance.

Patrick and Robin are grappling in the gazebo. It starts to rain during their match, but that doesn’t stop them — the match ends only when one man dominates the other. Caught up in the heat of the moment, they don’t even stop to relocate inside. The action continues until one man cannot go on.
Patrick traps Robin in a tightly held full nelson on the mat, stretching and showing off Robin’s chiseled washboard abs to the max. Robin eventually submits, but Patrick wants to hear those sweet words “I give” another time. He rapidly transitions the full nelson to a leg nelson, pouring on the pressure till he hears those sweet words once more.
“Now who’s the better man?” the victor gloats.

When Danny Shaydak wrestled Mark Lander, he struggled to get any lasting hold — as was true for almost everyone who wrestled Mark. But Danny fares better wrestling Mark’s brother Jeff Lander, in this GIF ensnaring Jeff and holding him tight in a full nelson/bodyscissor combo.
This is a pretty great video from the sadly defunct Let’s Wrestle, so I’ll try to share more from it in the future.

Here’s a classic clip from the archives: Cruze traps Christian Fox in a full nelson/bodyscissor combo. I recall a clip of this circulating the Internet, Yahoo groups, etc. at least 10 years ago, and then it kind of disappeared.
In a true technical match, Christian Fox should have cranked an ankle lock to make Cruze regret his mistake of applying a bodyscissor from this angle. I guess Christian was never taught that defense. But it’s still fun to watch Christian squirm every which way. Cruze asks Christian a few times if he gives.
“How you like that, huh? You give?”
“Yeah.”
Christian submits a couple times, but even has he does so, he reaches behind Cruze’s head to counter. Cruze isn’t fazed and keeps him trapped in the tight hold to assert his dominance.
“You ain’t getting nowhere. You might as well give up, blondie,” taunts Cruze with disdain.
“I give up,” Christian quickly replies yet again.
Cruze pretends he didn’t hear him and doubles down with a new wave of crushing force on Christian’s neck, shaking his head like a rag doll.
At one point it looks like Christian is close to applying an ankle lock, but he never does. He does find another way to get Cruze to break the full nelson, but Cruze has other tricks still to punish the youngster for his disobedience…

Happy New Year! To ring in the new year, here is a short but feisty exchange from the sadly defunct Let’s Wrestle video To Engage in Battle.
Kyle wraps up his opponent Jeff Lander in a full nelson / bodyscissor combo. Jeff is not impressed, and though Kyle tries to keep the hold on tight, Jeff is stronger and breaks out.
As you might have expected from the post title, I will probably post some more clips from this match in the future.

Here’s a blast from the past for the Christmas holiday! The fight between Iceman and Zman from Thunders Arena’s Christmas Chaos video from 2007.
While Angel is knocked out in the corner dressed up like a Christmas tree, Iceman gets to work on Zman, wrapping up the musclehunk in a full nelson/bodyscissor combo hold. Iceman is taking a risk with the scissor, especially in this configuration where Zman could apply a leg lock and put Iceman in a lot of pain. Maybe Iceman figured Zman was too much of a pretty boy to know how to escape… in this case, he was right, Zman missed the opportunity.
Happy holidays to you, and thanks for following the blog!

First post on WordPress after importing this blog from Tumblr! I will try to auto-cross-post links to Tumblr, but please bookmark the new blog Wrestling Submission blog on WordPress.
After more than one hour of nonstop wrestling, Jerry Owens is spent. Eric Shuler seizes his advantage, trapping Jerry in a tight full nelson and bodyscissor combo hold. Eric crosses his ankles and straightens his legs upward toward the sky to maximize the pressure and prevent Jerry from landing an ankle lock.

Lucien is trapped in a tight full nelson bodyscissor hold applied by Kyle Braun (aka Jake Ryder, Jake Benton).

“Is that all you got? You think you can hold me like this? I’ll break out of it. Yeah, there we go!”
“Get back in there. I’m not done with you yet. Looks like all those muscles aren’t doing anything for you. You’re not going anywhere.”
