did anyone ever "go over the top " on you i heard tis a pretty intense move and beats everyone

JBrezenk had incredible wrist strength.  No one controlled my wrist but him.  I wrestled with an inside move which prevents that move.  Also, in the movie when he makes that move that is NOT how it is done.  No way ever could anyone open their fingers and do that.  Also, if you have awesome hand and wrist strength you are going to do good.  If you can control the hand you will win most of the time.  When I first started I always lost the start but i was stronger than most of them and I could come back.  When you are in the pros, the guys are unreal fast and quick.  And they are so strong that coming back is almost impossible.  YOu can stop the initial hit and you may have a chance to bring the guy back but it takes alot out of you

Just for the heck of it I tried it at a mall where they were doing the California Championships.  I did pretty well considering I never done it before except for fun n high school.  So I kept doing it.  I almost quit once but Rick Zumwalt talked me into staying with it.
