So, the [[Action Girl]] is busy slinging around multiple opponents with her competent style of [[Waif Fu]]. In fact, she is doing so well that one has to wonder what the [[Big Damn Heroes]] are doing at all when they could leave the entire mission to her and she'd get it done and be back home in time for dinner.
Line 87:
* In ''[[Tortall Universe|Lioness Rampant]]'', where the slender 5'4" Alanna is [[Weak but Skilled|skilled]] and [[Fragile Speedster|fast]], and rendered helpless once her arms are pinned by a larger man. On the other hand, once she gets free, beware. She will mess you up.
** On the other hand, in ''Squire'', Keladry just flexes her bicep, forcing the man to loosen his grip.
* Averted in the ''[[Discworld]]'' book ''[[
* If you grab Lieutenant {{spoiler|later Sergeant}} Murphy, prepare to have the crap beaten out of you. Unless she's pretending and you are stupid enough to believe it.{{context|reason=What work is this from?}}
* Averted in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' by [[Dark Action Girl|Asha Greyjoy]]. A [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|childhood friend]] who was enamored with her attempted to stop her from leaving him by using this method. She promptly puts a knife to his throat and drives him off.
Line 101:

* Subverted wickedly in the [[Whateley Universe]]. In the second Boston Brawl, Generator (who looks like a ten year old girl) is grabbed as a hostage by Ironhawk (mutant in power armor). She slaps something on his armor, takes over his control system, and uses him as a missile for the rest of the battle.

Line 142 ⟶ 140:
** Subverted later when Superman tries this on Cheetah. He grabs her arm and twists, she slashes his face with her Kryptonite-coated nails.
* Inverted in ''[[Wing Commander Academy]]'': [[The Squadette|Archer]] performs this hold on [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Maniac]], before [[She Fu|tossing him]] halfway across the room. Worth noting, Maniac appears to be about twice her mass.
