The Keister Bounce is one of the most efficient ways to take some fight out of a girl when grappling on the mat. The attacker sits behind the defender with her legs wrapped around her waist. She secures a full nelson on her victim (in order to gain control of her arms) and pulls her back unto herself. At the peak of the motion she extends her lower body (with her legs still around the waist of her victim) and punches her upward bringing her down hard as the victim hits the ring floor with her unprotected bottom. The move shakes the spinal chord and it certainly softens up the victim’s bottom.

A variation of the Keister Bounce has the attacker grapevining her victim’s legs and pulling them apart before slamming her bottom into the ring floor. Such a move will definitely exert some strain on the victim’s hamstrings, weakening her legs and making her vulnerable to leg submission holds.

Possible escape: pull your legs underneath yourself when you’re coming down at the end of the move.  If your legs are spread and under control though, you’ll definitely know you were in the ring the next day when you sit down anywhere. Try to untangle your legs and roll to the side if possible.

Rating: the Keester Bounce is a high impact move. If properly executed, it can lead to a lot of pain and if repeated enough times , it can completely kill off the fighting spirit of the girl on the receiving end.
