10 Joint Locks Everyone Should Know

How to do 10 basic joint locks.

[@StealthyNomadica]

You need to do close shots, slow down, different angles.

[@straightcirclemartialarts5226]

Yes old vid. On channel later I did each lock individually and slower.

[@vinimarshall7301]

Everything you did only works on one armed people

[@transatlanticsilkcottonfabrics]

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?

[@iggymcgeek730]

No he doesn't. I understood everything no problem. Make your own video or shutup.

[@OldasMTV]

Or in a simulated situation instead of that kid simply handing him his wrist 😂

[@natascha5864]

..."You know it works, when you see the guy dancing on his toes..."😄😅...This is by far THE best explanatory video on the subject out there! Thank you very, very much! Very sorry for the poor guy who you demonstrate this on...🤭

[@OutisNemo666]

Really surprised that guy getting the moves done on didn't ask if someone else could take a turn at #8 move 😂

[@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

[@blakedannion9232]

Small circle Ju-jitsu is better. #6 will get you hurt. I teach a counter to that one that you can learn in about a minute and any one can learn it.

[@AngelVelikov]

@@blakedannion9232 I will be happy to see this counter, although I don't like the lock and it is rarely practiced. Can you provide some info?

[@blakedannion9232]

@@AngelVelikov Slap the entrapped wrist with the other arm/hand (Hard), This will start a circle , step toward rear of opponent and jut your hip out. You are now in a perfect position for hip toss. Depending on if you feel nice, you finish with a ju-jitsu landing. If you feel nasty finish with a hapkido technique/landing.

[@mguibord4728]

great and easy instruction! thank you for sharing the info

[@douglasgarcia777]

Thank you for the demonstrations 👍🏻💯

[@JCLeSinge]

Getting "the grip" also helps, but it's a whole other thing. Great lesson on joint locking here.

[@MrUglyDave]

Thank you sir. Really appreciated your wider view of the shape the opponent’s arm etc needs to be in to make it work, rather than the minutia of how to grab

[@bovinicide]

Thanks for this video - well presented, informative, easy to follow, just great!

[@keything8487]

i like the no nonsense approach, thanks

[@jeremysy5467]

Loved your instructional videos!

[@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.

[@Perfekt5ifth]

Poor guy! My arms hurt from watching this. I hope y'all bought him lunch

[@fly1327]

While I never kept with the Aikido I studied so many years ago, some of the joint locks are still innate inside me. A martial arts instructor last Christmas and I were talking (Jiu Jitsu or Judo I think), him 20 years younger and way stronger, reaching to me and I neutralized his advance instantly, him shocked. But please be kinder to your assistant!

[@veiledallegory]

Hahaha!

[@rottiejakeluke]

It’s great seeing the techniques on a model person. Do you ever show how to get the grabs when in a fighting application??

[@ayubshaikh9156]

[@yogaasana6019]

A nice summary of all those things that led to my arthritis from those years as uke.

[@straightcirclemartialarts5226]

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.

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

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.

[@germanshepherdlover2613]

Some variations of these are in the Japanese Jujitsu that I do. Very painful for Uke. Great video :)

[@saxon1177]

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.

[@veiledallegory]

Good thing you never had to use them in a fight because they won’t work! Except to piss the other guy off!

[@saxon1177]

[@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.

[@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.

As a guy who grew up street fighting then watching the creation of modern mma I really enjoyed this video many times being able to just take someone off me would have been a better option to just taking thier head off. I'm quite certain these locks don't come naturally but with some practice I can see not only advantage but better quality of outcome. 2 of my friends have been sent to prison for one punch unintentional manslaughter. So it's not the best outcome when in physical confrontations.

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.

@@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.

For these joint locks to work your opponent needs to be almost static and offer no resistance. In a kinetic encounter your opponent’s hands and arms, and more importantly, legs, are flexed and moving fast.
