10 Joint Locks Everyone Should Know

Nice video. Two points of contact or more. Stack the muscles. And of course practice makes perfect. I think speed and reflex action is important. I can’t imagine it would work so well on some hench bloke without the speed and technique. Maybe?

That is a excellent point. Many people practice joint locks in a way that are not healthy. To your point I will try and do a video on safety when joint locking.

[@volentipugnum4045]

Nice compilation of useful locks and transitions. Sure, someone could fight back, punch with free hand, kick with either free leg, roll out or step out of the lock...the point is in 10 minutes this is a nice refresher on bone and joint manipulation. If you are in a situation where one of the moves would work, why not use it to your advantage.

[@albertgaspar627]

you can also add these to a 'defang the snake" procedure. someone grabs a blunt object with one hand or pulls out something sharp like a shank, shiv, screwdriver, edge of a credit card whatever and moves in for a quick slash, you won't have time to grab your own weapon so you get them to drop their's as a natural reaction.

I learned small joint locks in Hap Ki Do while in Korea. I've never had to use it in a fight, but I have used it one guys while sparring/wrestling and it worked better than I thought. I've also found that after you lock up a joint it is most beneficial to get them and keep them off balance. They seem to have almost no strength to do anything.

Nicely demonstrated and this works if you can keep an opponent from bashing with their free hand . Required viewing for all personal protection people, bouncers, door men and police. Thanks very much.

[@MisterVolts]

I've been on the receiving end of joint locks like these, studied Hapkido at an academy for 7+ years. Once the lock is established your free hand is useless because the pain is paralyzing.

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

@@MisterVolts Interesting and ATB.

[@albertgaspar627]

the answer to that question is to apply the joint lock fast. catch your opponent off guard, and the pain overwhelms their sense of "oh sh-t what do i do next?" an opponent who knows, however, will respond and frankly if you train on these, hopefully your sparring partner will...so you can figure out a counter. sometimes it can be another lock :) but if you stand around with these long enough (ie, waiting on the po-po to arrive), your opponent will indeed "build a better mousetrap". the best application of these tricks is when you have multiple opponents. one makes an attempt to strike, you lock them up, and apply pressure in the direction of their buddy who is sneaking behind you. now they're tangled up while you size up the third one's reaction. or do what you see in the movies, and flip them into a piece of furniture :) looks silly but sometimes it does accomplish an FAA (f--cking attitude adjustment). pull it off effortlessly and yes, you can stop the basic bully brawl because "they saw it in a movie once and it didn't end well".

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

@@albertgaspar627 What question?

[@albertgaspar627]

@@QuantumMechanic_88 the unasked one..."what about their free hand?" it is actually the downfall in many martial arts theory--that just like in Hollyweird movies, an opponent attacks using one hand and sticks around to wait for what happens next rather than use the other hand or just flailing away like the usual drunk who doesn't feel enough pain--or enough pain quickly enough. undisciplined street brawlers have won against dojo-trained students simply by doing something that made no sense otherwise--but it worked because the defender never expected something so crazy.

[@pehunter1]

Great techniques. Can you do a video showing how these techniques can be used against various attacks?

[@MisterVolts]

Joint locks are for counter to the grapple. Useless vs. a rapid striker such as a boxer or Thai boxer.

[@AngelVelikov]

If you want to learn these locks in more detail in the Aikido style of application, here is reference to their names, so you can search for them: #10 Kote-gaeshi #9 Nikkyo #8 Sankyo #7 no reference, actually similar to the previous (Sankyo), but #8 is "ura" and #7 is "irimi" #6 Kamakubi #5 no reference, can be seen in some old masters' demos, but now is out of curriculum (as other more risky techniques); also by Seagal again (he is a dick and shows such flashy things) #4 Shiho nage #3 Kaiten osae #2 Nikkyo again, but #9 is the "ura" and this is the "irimi" #1 Rokkyo

What is "Straight Circle" .. is this supposed to be a twist (no pun intended) on Small Circle Jiu-Jitsu?

[@straightcirclemartialarts5226]

No, even though I truly love Wally Jay's work, it's not related. Straight circle just means that all elements of martial arts are a interplay of linear and circular movements. That includes strikes, joint locks and kicks. Also, generally with footwork it is taught linear, then angles, then circular. Straight circle isn't a style, it's just a place to play with similar concepts from most of the styles I have come across. Instead of arguing who is best I like to show things that can be incorporated into most styles.

[@howarddavies782]

Great techniques and well demonstrated. Another method is the strike to lock as one of your techniques demonstrated. Once you strike you momentarily take his mind off what he plans to do and it creates an opening for the arm or joint lock. This is most effective against powerful people who can hold you firmly.

[@Wavemaninawe]

Strike to facilitate grappling. Grapple to facilitate striiking. Good principles.

@@josephmalone253 All straight circle means is usually with most techniques there is an interplay if circular and linear motions, one usually fits into the next.

[@thesnare100]

Do joint locks actually work? You never see them used in MMA/UFC or anything. I know small joint manipulations aren't allowed, but from what I've seen, I've never seen a fight when a fighter intercepts a strike and turns it into a lock, submitting the guy, it's just too difficult to do given how fast the other person is moving/his strikes are. On the other hand, I'd like to see what it would be like if small joint manipulations were allowed, the gloves I'm told interfere with them, either using them or using them on someone else.

[@russelldavis8415]

In all my years (from 16-54) whether in a brawl or combat, I have never ever used a joint lock, the reason being no one has ever tried to grab me, they just came swinging and if one of those swings hits you in the head, its over. Same with a lot (but not all) of knife fighting skills, they are useless too for similar reason. If you are going to learn anything, learn something that works 100% of the time such as 1. Boxing. 2. Muay thai. Not a fan of BJJ because you are unlikely to be attacked by a single person and one or all of them may be armed.

these are all good concepts when they become second nature and you get the perfect scenario, but in a real setting, it's more of a power struggle against a tensing subject refusing to give control of his limbs

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

And since the opponent will instinctively retract their limb to oppose the position you are attempting to impart on their arm, its important to either trick them into going the direction you want, or being able to transition to another lock once they pull back.

Aikido is actually based of other Japanese arts, Jujitsu and Aiki Jitsu. That being said both of the one I just mentioned are good if you want to strictly learn joint locking. The difference being Aikido wants to teach non destructive joint locking where tradional Japanese joint locking systems are ment to injure your opponent.

Two finger locks are much more effective than one or 3-4. Locks require three things: a teeter totter. A teeter totter has three things: a lever, a fulcrum and a base. 95% locks lose effectiveness when missing one of those. #3 will be lost against a stronger person with the your hand on his shoulder. Put it in the elbow and keep it close to your body. #1 can be made 20X more effective and efficient (and they cannot escape just by kneeling) by keeping their arm in our armpit and you droop into 1) a horse stance or 2) just go down on your opposite knee, and touch your elbow of the locking arm to your knee.
