SL5.3 Inner Wrist Lock and Arm-bar with Elbow Pressure

Warning: This technique should only be practiced with a qualified AOKK instructor present.

Note: Standing locks are not finishing techniques. They’re used to move an attacker into a position where a finishing technique can be applied. 

Execution:

Attacker grabs your right lapel, wrist, or shoulder with his/her left hand.

• Trap the attacker’s left hand with your left hand [opposite side as grasp].
• Punch the attacker to the face [Loosening Technique]

Note: The attacker’s first reaction is to let go after the loosening-up technique. Therefore, we trap the hand.

• Shuto strike to the attacker’s elbow-joint with the right hand if he/ she has not released their grip.
• Once the attacker releases their grip, wrap the trapping hand around the attacker’s little finger.
• Place your thumb on the back of the attacker’s hand between the attacker’s two middle knuckles.
• Grasp the attacker’s wristlock with both hands.
• Bend the wrist so the hand points toward the attacker.
• Roll the arm until the attacker’s elbow points upward.
• Twist the hand clockwise, so pressure is applied to the wrist.
• Rotate your elbow on top of the attacker’s elbow and press down with your elbow.
• As soon as the attacker’s balance is broken forward, pull his/ her elbow under your armpit and drop your body weight on the joint.
