Whizzer Neutralization (Thumb to Belly Button)

Use this when you are in a standing whizzer-vs-underhook scenario and the opponent has a strong whizzer. It solves the problem of being thrown or having your hand driven to the floor by drifting the whizzer behind the opponent's back. The mechanism is working your underhook hand deep until your thumb touches their belly button — at that point the whizzer is behind their body and has no power, allowing you to lock your hands and walk behind them.
