Wrist Locks and Pressure

[Ross Davidson]

My wife is the same. Just insane natural flexibility. Scared to start teaching her Jiu Jitsu because she'll have a great guard right off the bat.

I'd love it if my wife had a great guard. I'd also love to have a wife.

Not looking promising in that regard.

I'm interested to how many wrist lockers there are. Seems like a pretty uncommonly focused on submission.

I go fro them all the time but I wouldn't call myself a "wrist locker" since my overall level of jits is so low.

[Aaron Gustaveson]

my wrists bend in half. I have a weird flexibility to them. Goodluck with this shit on the goatherder doe!

I hate you. Can you bend it in half and twist it to the side. the sideways pressure is what make them work for me.

*just saw tony already asked this, and more articulately then I did as well.*

Be careful what you wish for, my friend. Be very, very careful. ;-)

My base style is Japanese jiu jitsu which was included 4 levels of wrist locks and variations. In grappling I find that the most commonly available and useful are "goose neck" type, where the fingers/wrist are forced downward towards the forearm.

A few of the more common positions for these are:

• Jiu-claw
• Spider web (when someone is defending the armbar)
• Locks around the waist
• Some double wrist-lock (kimura) situations have the option
• Triangle position
• Mount

Basically anytime you have the elbow down to the wrist controlled and an opposing base for support, there is an option available for the goose necking type. That said, I would NOT sacrifice position and/or control in order to get a wrist lock. These are better when using to initiate a scramble situation, create a bit of space, or to give the opponent an "owie" for the hell of it.

Well I guess that won't be happening anytime soon. As Brandon rightly points out: I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to women
