Hi, Do you know what are the origins of the term Boston Crab and Jacob (Jacob's Ride and Jacob's Hook)?
Thanks.

The Jacob's ride origin is the Bible.. Jacob wrestled the angel of the Lord and used that hold to defeat him.. or so the Bible says.

I dont know the correct origin of Boston Crab, but one I heard was that it was used by the Licolnshire wrestlers who train in Boston upon Spa.. seems a bit easy that one though doesnt it?

thats as much as I can say mate .. but thanks for the questions

take care

Dave
