I figured this might be a cool post for you wrestling and martial art fans out there...

It seems that the common belief is that a properly established full nelson is virtually impossible to get out of. But there are many efficient and effective ways to counter / escape it. If you want me to post a couple ways just let me know...

But I am looking for other people's ideas / strategies.

And does anyone have any links to other reversals for other stuff (this i do not have)

:cool:

Pilates and yoga might help? :D

I've done some greco-roman rasslin, it was fun. When you're a big person you're afraid of falling down, I was taken down and it was fun.

I mean when you're new to the sport of olympic style wrestling the landing is the most important even with professional wrestling.

gee, shocking replies from the guys at a tech forum. ;)

reach around, grab at least one finger, break it/peel it off. if necessary, put your hands on your forehead, tuck your elbows in/down and twist hard or make wide rotations with your hips.

not a fun hold to be in at all, but there's always a way out.

Easy you not looking at a full nelson, not even a half nelson the reason this picture came up was because the wrestlers last name is nelson!!

as they are illegal in real wrestling, only half nelsons apply to the rules !

when you facing the persons back you put you arms under their arm pits and up around the shoulder and wrap you fingers interlocking behind their neck

and to escape you kick your leg back and kick them in the balls

problem solved

Full nelson banned from wrestling for reason it could break someones neck. Here are 2 ways you can try.

Full Nelson Locked in you can still move your forearms.

1. Break it by reaching to the back of your neck with your hand. (Grab, ) 2 or 3 fingers and then bend them back , when you have good control of the fingers, shoot your arm out straight to the side of you . Then turn into him make sure you (keep pressure on those fingers).

i guess you can also try to dig your nails into his fingers.

2. Bend your body foward, Lift your right leg up (a few inches off the ground)this relieves some pressure now jump back, and smash your elbow in his face.

Also if there anybody infront of you trying to Stab you or punch you jump up and kick him. then go back to the guy that got you in the full nelson.

If these dont work just try not to let him get it keep you arms down before he even gets a chance to lock it, Otherwise i dont know.

If the guy does it on wrestling or whatever the ref can get em for it. Also you guys have coaches and instructers ask them.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
