Grovit Wrestling Front Face Lock

God of Catch as Catch Can Wrestling Billy Robinson and Jake Shannon demonstrate the fine details of the Grovit/Groffit. Known in contemporary Wrestling Circles as the Front Face Lock or Front Head Lock, this staple of the Catch Wrestling arsenal was originally known by the Wigan Wrestlers as the Groffit or Grovit.

Coach Robinson shows how to apply this devastating submission hold as well as how to use it as a set up for a single leg takedown.

You would think that having the honor to be taught by a legend and a great wrestling teacher would keep someone from giggling like a school girl everytime they feel pain.

@cdlravenwolf You ever get your neck a hair's bredth away from being broken? It's laugh or cry at that point. Way we see it, if you're going to die, might as well die happy.

I like how you guys are really open to learning new techs from different arts. Thanks for sharing!

[TakingItToTheMMAT]

It's the JKD Mentality "Take what is useful..." You can learn from anyone if you have an open mind and heart. And with coaches at the level of Billy Robinson or Guro Dan Inosanto, your game and perspective can change just in one session.

@WildHunt25 If you had the right leverage and held on tight it could kill a man. This is a very dangerous move that in some judo schools still teach and practice. This is really for street fighting or if your trying to control a man in a bar. Im a part time bouncer(Judo black belt and Div 1 wrestler)and one time this huge guy was drunk and we tried to take him outside he grab my leg and I put this move on. He didnt move! lol I calmly walked him out. Know all my co workers use it. Very effective.

Wow I learned a hell of alot by watching this. Thanks for the post!

I wonder if this would work if you've sprawled on someone after they've shot in? I'll usually go for the anaconda but sometimes I cant synch it up on my bicep if they guy is really big

[WildHunt25]

At full force/speed, would this be more likely to kill, paralyze, or just leave the person in a halo for a while (on an average healthy person)?

WOW!..the Master (Billy Robinson) Wrestler @ work! =oO

[judopathoftruth]

yu can reach over for the head, grappling is very sibjective, a judoka would have a different sayon alot of techiques as comapred toa cacc or a jj fighter.
