 | Description: Whenever you practice these techniques, make sure that you always use gradual force. Apply the technique slowly. Make sure that when your opponent feels that pain or that little bit of pressure that he taps. And as soon as you hear that tap, make sure you stop applying that pressure immediately. It doesn't take a lot of pressure to injure your opponent. So always make sure you work with your opponent and not against him. |
