🥋 BRAWL Nearly Erupts Over This Heel Hook

What up Flowrollers, it’s a great day to purchase yet another foam roller, because maybe this one will make the pain go away.

Last week’s poll showed you all are all for giving higher belts feedback:

I was surprised this one was so lopsided. I’m in the middle on this one. I pretty much agree with Lindsay here:

We’ve all rolled with (or been, 🤣 ) that one overly enthusiastic white belt that is trying to explain everything to everyone. It’s one thing if someone asks for feedback… but I don’t think giving unsolicited feedback, especially to a higher belt, is generally a good idea.

Alright let’s get to it, slap-and-bump 👊🏻

THE MAIN EVENT 🚨

There’s a pretty crazy grappling event going on in Kazahkstan right now, called AIGA. The highlight has been seeing some of Dagestan’s top wrestlers compete against elite western grapplers like Cole Abate and Giancarlo Bodoni.

But a brawl almost erupted after this heel hook, during which one athlete thought it was held for too long after the tap:

Tensions were definitely high during this event, the Dagestani crew has some extremely aggressive (and impressive) grappling. What do you think, was this heel hook held too long?
