The breast edge chop is one of the few women’s wrestling moves that involve striking. Sure enough, in women’s professional wrestling, no close fisted strikes/punches are allowed, therefore, the breast edge chop is delivered with an open hand. One may as well call it the breast edge slap. It’s not actually supposed to cause serious damage to the victim (thank God for that), but if delivered with enough force, it stings and burns like hell.

The attacker backs the victim up into the ropes or into a corner of the ring. She then pushes her head back with one hand and with the other (again, with an open hand) delivers a thunderous slap onto her exposed chest, ABOVE the breasts. It is very important that she does not slap the defender’s breasts. She can deliver the breast edge chop with a backhand or a forehand, and she can repeat it as many times as she deems necessary to soften up the victim.

Possible escape: In professional female wrestling, you’ll often see the recipient of a (or a few) breast edge chops grab hold of her opponent’s wrists and fling her into the ropes, after which she gives her a taste of her own medicine. The best breast edge chop escape is its reversal.

Rating: While it’s definitely not a decisive move, the breast edge chop is one intimidating bugger. It stings and hurts like hell, without actually causing any lasting damage. A couple of well delivered breast edge chops are almost certain to stun a victim, making it easier for her attacker to set up a follow up maneuver.
