[ML4.04] Knee Joint Separation Variation-1 (From the Guard)

Joint separations are not really a joint lock, but this type of technique still falls into this category. This can be a very painful technique if done properly.

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

Execution:

     Places uke in the guarding position

• Wrap your leg behind uke’s knee joint.
• Grasp uke’s ankle and pull backwards.

Release the lock when uke taps, or the attacker’s knee joint separates.
