jstock 109 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 When I run a half Nelson, say on opponents right side with my right arm, is it legal to grab the opponents right wrist with my right hand as I run the half on the right side? I once showed an experienced official at a big national tournament, I showed him specifically whet the move was and he said it was legal. Since then I have asked others and they have said not legal.

Pull the same side wrist back and grab it with the half hand. Particularly with legs this will lock the shoulder in and give you more leverage while at the same time not allowing the shoulder to get into a bad position and possibly causing a PD call.
