MX-305: Bambi vs Yakuza (escape challenge)

The newest competitive mixed escape challenge features the rising star, Bambi ⓘ, in control of her New Blood counterpart, Yakuza ⓘ, filmed after the day of casting.

This is Bambi’s second ever video, and the first ever encounter between the two wrestlers.

This escape challenge consists of 10 rounds, skipping the ankle choke, but ends with a bonus round of competitive wrestling and an arm-wrestling round.

Here is a full description of the Escape Challenge style including the list of holds used:

This style consists of 11 rounds – 11 immobilization challenges. One of the competitors, the immobilizer, has to either hold or submit their opponent in each of 11 pre-defined holds / pins for one minute, within which the competitor being held tries to escape. A successful escape is one where the immobilized separates himself/herself from the captor in a significant way. If there is no successful escape, and the final position is close to the original one, the point for the challenge is awarded to the immobilizer, otherwise her/his opponent receives a point.

The competitors take position for each hold and are instructed to start the challenge. 10 seconds before the time limit (at 50 seconds), they are informed about the time. If the immobilization has been achieved or a submission has been scored, a point gets rewarded and the immobilizer performs a victory pose.

The holds are:
1. Schoolgirl pin with arms pinned above
2. Reverse schoolgirl pin with arms pinned below
3. Grapevine pin
4. Triangle
5. Lotus lock
6. Full-nelson / bodyscissors combo
7. Figure-4 headscissors with arm trapped
8. Reverse headsit (with face buried in feet)
9. Venus trap
10. Foot-on-chest pin

Note: One of the eleven rounds – the ankle-choke-armbar combo – is skipped in this video. Two bonus rounds added after the end of the contest – arm-wrestling and a round of competitive wrestling.
