I’m thinking my 2 sons might have a successful future in Ultimate Fighting. First, for my 4 month old. At this young age, he’s already mastered the “Rubber Guard”. The Rubber Guard is a defensive position when you are on your back with somebody on top of you. It’s accomplished by grabbing your foot with your hand so that you can control your opponent and not let them raise up. Here’s a couple pictures of it in action.

And now, here’s Gramm.

Amazing, huh?

And for Jaxon, my 5 year old. One of the most often used submission holds is called the “Arm Bar”. It’s a position where you get a hold of your opponent’s arm and try to hyper-extend it so that they will submit, tap out, give up. It looks like this in practice.

But this submission technique would never work on Jaxon. See the picture below to find out why.

As you can see, both of Jaxon’s arms bend freakishly farther than a normal person’s arm. So his opponent could never get the leverage required to hyper-extend either of his arms. I wonder if he can get a scholarship for this :-)
