It is the oldest magician’s trick. To distract you away from what he is doing with his hands. Then he completes his magic. Sometimes to your detriment.
Very effective.
It is the oldest female wrestler’s trick. Look deep into your eyes and distract you while she is effectively grasping your arm and wrist. Once she does that, you are in big trouble.
Once she gets ahold of you, a painful headlock is most likely in your future.
That is to your detriment.
When it comes to effective female submission wrestling, it is best to start at the match beginning.
It will be about hand fighting and wrist grabbing.
Fairly straight forward. No magician’s trick is needed. Speed is essential though. Eye to hand coordination is vital. Proper strength training is mandatory.
It is important to be clear about what comes first.
You need to build up your shoulders and arms in the gym. Even if you are swift of hand, if you don’t have the strength to prevent your opponent from snatching her wrist and arms away from you, first strike wrist grabbing is meaningless.
Building up your arm and shoulder strength is a “first must” given.

Mastery of Hand Strength, Revised Edition Paperback – January 15, 2009
By John Brookfield (Author)
“Mastery of Hand Strength is the beloved book on grip strength that just about every grip guy in the last 10 years has read, probably at least twice. And now there's a reason to read it yet again. John has added a whole raft of new training ideas and approaches, 38 new exercises on crushing grip and dynamic training with hand grippers, pinch grip, dumbbells, fingers and wrists--all newly-minted material that is typical of John's creativity and cutting-edge thinking. If strong hands and mighty wrists appeal to you, it's your starting point for world-class grip and lower-arm strength.”
As a female grappler, that book seems like an essential read.
While you are not a magician, some hand speed will keep your opponent off balance as, time after time, you beat her to the punch.
Take a look.
Quickly.
