Though Dasha still favours the armbar as it tends to be her most successful hold- when encouraged to try other locks and holds, she does so- sometimes so effectively that the club manager is left gasping to catch his breath after the hold is released. It’s amazing to see the progress that Dasha has made in such a short time- smoothing out her transitions for attacks and between holds.
