Knuckle breaker

The "knuckle breaker"! That's a rather... interesting term.

A knuckle breaker is a type of wrestling hold or submission technique where the wrestler applies pressure to the opponent's wrist or forearm, causing pain and potentially leading to a submission. The hold is often used to immobilize the opponent's arm and create an opportunity for a follow-up attack or takedown.

The term "knuckle breaker" is thought to have originated from the idea that the hold can cause the opponent's wrist to "break" or bend in an unnatural way, leading to pain and discomfort. It's a rather intense and potentially painful hold, but it's also a common technique used in various forms of wrestling, including professional wrestling, amateur wrestling, and even martial arts.

It's worth noting that the knuckle breaker is considered a high-risk hold, as it can cause injury to the opponent's wrist, forearm, or even shoulder if not executed properly. As with any wrestling technique, it's essential to learn and practice the knuckle breaker safely and responsibly to avoid causing harm to oneself or others.
