Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1. Focus on your brother's signature move. Does he immediately go for the head lock? Does he shoot for your legs? Does he always grab you in a bear hug? Predict what he will do and be prepared.

2. Make your brother pay for attacking. If he shoots for your legs, introduce your knee to his face. If he shoots for your torso, step to the side and give him a forehand to the side of his head. If he goes for the bear hug, try a head butt to the nose.

3. Strike fast when your brother is stunned. If he is standing up take him to the ground by kicking the back of his knee and pulling him backward by his collar. If he is leaning forward grab the back of his head and push it toward the ground. Where his head goes, he will follow.

4. Finish your brother off. Go for the rear naked choke. From behind him, wrap one arm around his neck with the other pushing on the back of the neck. Wrap your legs around his body and squeeze while arching your back. This move allows you to subdue your brother, no matter how big he is. Be careful not to squeeze him so hard that you hurt him. Make him say "uncle" before letting him go.

5. Attack your brother's soft spots if he gets you in a bind. There are pressure points all over your brother's body that you can poke, pinch or tickle to make him let you go. Try the arm pit, behind the knee and the groin. Less obvious are the ears, Achilles tendon and kidney. Stay away from the eyes since you could do permanent damage.

6. Use your head. If your brother ties up your arms, smack him with your head. Be sure to use your forehead or the back of you head, not your nose or temples. If your head is stuck against your brother's armpit or side, dig your chin into him. It will make him squirm and let you go. If you really want to cheat you can bite him. Just don't do it too hard.

Tips & Warnings

• The goal is to attack your brother's confidence. If he learns that attacking you will result in pain and discomfort for him he will hesitate. Use this hesitation against him by initiating another move. If you stay one step ahead of your brother he will be on the defensive and you will be in control.

• Some of these moves can really hurt your brother if you do them too hard. Proceed with caution understanding that this is all in fun.
