RE: From another group: real world wrist locks (steven riggs) --__--__-- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 10 May 2006 19:56:31 -0700 (PDT) From: steven riggs Subject: RE: [The_Dojang] From another group: real world wrist locks To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net I also teach wrist locks but very few and only in very specific situations. One is don't use them with the other party being significantly bigger and stronger. If they are then you had better be really good at it. I was in both public law enforcement and private security and used wrist locks a couple of times. The most significant was a come along on a shoplifter who didn't want to come back to the office for processing. I had his left arm and wrist and I later viewed the video and you can see he doubled up his right fist to try to take a swing at me and when he did I applied more pressure. In spite of the bourbon on his breath he suddenly went up on his tippy toes and his right fist changed to an open waving hand wanting release from the pain. Pain compliance does work for if it did not then hundreds of millions of dollars would not have been spent training law enforcement officers a large variety of pain compliance techniques of which a wrist lock is a very tiny minority.

A few years back I had spent about 45 minutes teaching a wrist lock to a group of new students. That night a young lady was getting in her car after work and some guy grabbed her by the wrist and was pulling her toward him. Without thinking she did the wrist lock I had just taught her about 5 hours before. She said she heard a snap, yell, and the guy dropping to the ground holding his wrist. She jumped in her car and speed away. Unfortunately she did not call the police. I have taught a number of LEO and correctional officers over the years and they have given me positive feed back on how useful the lock has been.
