I like the mounted gift wrap wrist lock, or the omoplata wrist lock when you got a roller. Half guard wrist locks are also pretty dope. Be sure to pin down your opponent's arm with a shin right above the side of the elbow closest to the wrist. I get these couple wrist locks pretty often.
I use the wrist lock when I have the person trapped in Kesa gatame. If the arm bar does not work, I gently fold the wrist. I have gotten dozens of taps from doing that. I have total control at that point, so it is not dangerous for my rolling buddy.
The entire art of jiu jitsu is about gaining a mechanical advantage via positioning. The fact of the matter is no matter how you hold it the hand or fist does not create a very long lever. This means it's much closer to a 1/1 contest of strength than almost any other form of submission.
Idk. Wrists are very weak. I understand what your saying as far as the size of the lever, but its definitely not a 1/1 strength fight. Of course im not talking about standing aikido wrist locks.... those are ridiculous. But a lot of time youre using your chest and body weight to fold back someones wrist which is really weak to begin with.
true.. in the past ive escorted people out of bars with wrist locks. started with arm control and due to one of many factors ( crowded place, obsticals such as chairs tables, people trying to get me off the person) ive lost the complete control of the arm but was presented with the wrist so took that to complete the journey to the exit. very VERY rarely can you get a wrist lock from the get go, the person has to be very drunk or dumb.
FINALLY! Someone explains wristlocks properly 👏👏👏👏👏 In a real grapple/fight (no gloves), certain wristlocks can DESTROY a person's hand...but you need to have mastered the variations.
I would be interested in working towards a wrist lock from a standing grappling position such as an overhook on one arm where you turn your hips away from your opponent with your leg behind theirs. If they refuse to go to the ground you have control and may be able to work towards a wrist lock from there.
Can’t think of many wrist locks that can be successfully applied from a position where you have a lack of control. Your opponents elbow has to be completely trapped from retreating or moving laterally and obviously as an extension of that so does their body if its being used as a wedge behind their elbow
I've consistently wristlocked to defend from guillotines (both hands at "hanging" wrist) or lapel chokes from my back (hammer lock grip). Even when it 'fails' its because opponent/partner abandon the attack to avoid the submission and I open space for guard retention, so its a win-win anyway
dear Mr Danaher, if you have broke down body movement / mechanics in opp, and you advane in joint control, f ex ellbow and schoulder, than there is just about always a wrist lock available somewhere Plus another neglected aspect of wrist locks are the opponents structure can be broken down (for examble standing or keeing wrist lock to guard pass) and manipulated, and if you chain your techniques up well, can give you a great advantage in a fight third aspect Danahar is missing, is that there wristlock traps, that work as counter sumissions. You bait a grappler into a comomon move, that usually is very effective, and have a wrist lock trap witing (for example bait an opp into attacking with a gilloutin,e, block his hand with your chin on the way through, control the same ellbow with both hands, squeeze.....and voila, instant fight ender respect from norway, and please keep the great videos cumming
Triangle must be the best controlling position for wristlocks, but I learned from Travis Stevens a sort of figure 4 control over the opponent’s arm especially for waiter wristlocks…very effective….
hapkido wrist locks are very effective, usually involve some mechanism of locking the opponents arm into place for control. Nearly everywhere that arm bars, kimura, or general ude garami positions are available, you have wrist locks. They are just considered to be dirty... most people rely on their hands for work. I rarely apply them, even when given a clear opportunity.
There is no such thing as “Hapkido wrist locks”. The wrist can only be locked in so many ways and almost every martial arts does them. It still comes down to what Danahar says about prior control.
In my experience in crowd controlling if you dont get a wristlock on someone before they start struggling against it, it becomes very difficult to apply it but if you can get it to that locked point before they realise then its very hard for them to get out of it especially if you have their elbow against your body
Yeah aikido moves and such seem like pre-fighting moves. Moves to do before it’s a full on fight when you want to end the confrontation quickly. And also stuff you use against people you don’t really want to hurt like friends or family who are getting rowdy.
I want him to explain why Gaethje pulled his arm out from between Khabib's legs instead of driving it further to protect himself from the armbar and the triangle. I mean... wanna talk about control? Khabib didn't have him in lockdown and had no control over his legs to keep him from just diving right through. he had a hand kind of on Gaethje's right leg, but he needed to get an ankle for it to actually do anything. that or illegally grab Justin's shorts. Thoughts, Mr. Danaher?
Fun fact = Wristlocks were designed for pre-fight self-defense scenarios, like if the attacker grabs your shirt for threatening and you know for a fact where the attackers hands are. Same reason wristlocks barely will work in combat sports.
Wrist out throws are effective if you’ve been grabbed. The thing I like is you don’t have to go to the ground if you’ve been attacked on the street or in a bar… now imagine you’re at the pub or on the street and you attempt an arm bar or a takedown…. forget it, you are going to get soccer kicked by onlookers to the back of your head and ribs. BJJ is effective in the cage but not with multiple attackers.
some good pvery time your opp pushes you with their hans / palmoints but not all submissions (or finishing moves) rely on great control prior to the move,...like countering a shot with a gilloutine, or a wristlock . a countermove is often very possible without any much prior control of the situation, and dont get why this concept should not be legit in grappling / bjj !?!...............................a hand as a target will always be there in a grappling match, since your opp wants to grap you.....its not wise to neglect that point
As a fellow New Zealand - I think he's back home in our shitty non-climate controlled houses, which is why he needs to wear all those clothes in doors.
Danaher is wrong. His context when thinking of wristlocks leaves out their true value. Every arm-bar, kimura, americana, omoplata - from mount, side, northsouth and many times from the bottom too - is a wristlock opportunity. It attacks grips that defend other submission, so if you're not getting the wrist you get the elbow or shoulder and you do not compromise positional control for them. Getting better at wristlocking means getting more shoulder, elbow AND wrist-locks. It funnels reactions and so and on. Why disregard 1% of the human body?
