The Effective Use of Wrist Locks in Modern Self Defence
In the fast-paced world of mixed martial arts (MMA), a specific technique or strategy can mean the difference between victory and defeat. One such maneuver that has been gaining attention recently is the application of wrist locks in self-defense, showcased in a recent MMAShredded YouTube video entitled “BJJ Black Belt Taps me with WRIST LOCKS”. MMAShredded, managed by MMA veteran Jeff Chan, is a reliable source of martial arts techniques, and this video exhibits a classical Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) tactic in a new light. In the short 38-second clip, Chan is smoothly overpowered using wrist locks by a BJJ Black Belt, Professor Omar, from Glory Martial Arts Center. Despite its brevity, the video provides an evocative portrayal of the potential of wrist locks in both competitive and self-defense situations. Although no transcript was provided, the content is powerful – vividly demonstrating the wrist lock’s potency. The wrist lock is specialty of joint lock that instigates pain and potentially submission by enforcing considerable pressure on the wrist and forcing it to bend. While such biomechanics might seem simple, their execution requires a mixture of accurate positioning, impeccable timing, conscious anticipation of an opponent’s movements, and an engaging strength. With over 118,322 views, it’s clear this video has stirred interest in the MMA community, raising a pressing question – what do you think about wrist locks? The importance of this question lies in the continuous evolution of martial arts, which revolves around the ongoing debate regarding utilization of old-school techniques in today’s combat scenario. It’s noteworthy that wrist locks are not exactly a newly conceived technique. They have been a staple of traditional martial arts like Aikido and are often used in BJJ. But the context of their usage in modern self-defense, with its focus on quick action and immediate response, brings a new perspective. The reason why wrist locks can be considered a viable option for self-defense lies in their surprise factor and effectiveness. They can be applied spontaneously, and when done correctly, can immobilize an opponent instantaneously, buying crucial time to escape or to gain control over the situation. This swift effectiveness is certainly beneficial for scenarios that are focused on personal safety rather than winning a contest. However, successful application of wrist locks depends essentially on the practitioner’s knowledge, proficiency, and ability to seize the opportunity. As is evident from the video, it’s no simple task to catch an opponent off guard and apply the lock efficiently without resistance. The take-home message from this MMAShredded video is clear – the art of martial arts is ever-evolving and open-ended. Thus, it is crucial to keep an open mind about the potential applications and effectiveness of diverse techniques such as wrist locks. While wrist locks may not be the answer to all self-defense scenarios, they undoubtedly offer another tool in the toolbox of those practicing modern self-defense. Their value should not be underestimated, and as martial artists, we should strive for an inclusive understanding of all possible techniques. Modern self-defense is not simply about power or speed; it’s about the fluidity of techniques and the ability to adapt. And, as martial arts continue to evolve, so must our perception and understanding of them. Remember, “In martial arts, the greatest move is the next one you learn.” Keep training. Keep learning.MMA Block

Professor Omar from Glory Martial Arts Center taps me with wrist locks. What do you think about wrist locks?
Because you are too weak. I beat two purple belts at the Gracie Academy in New Jersey. I did it without a single day of BJJ
Gotta love the dark arts 😂
Must be a blue belt grading up soon and he’s warm up for the post ceremony rolls. Gotta get em all with that dirty wrist-lock on their first night.
Is that disco or a gym?
I thought it was a standing kimora
Omar doesn’t mess around with those wristlocks
Clean double leg Jeff 🔥
Be careful. Guys who use wrist locks will not hesitate to eye gouge, pinch your nutsack or just pull their firearm out after awhile 😂
He should have started beating him with the free hand. A technique that only works if the other guy plays nice.
Man that would be dirty if he didn't tell you that wrist locks were good to go before the roll.
Just like leg locks, wrist locks could be dangerous.
Breed of satan
I love how strategic Jujitsu is but it does look like struggle cuddling to the untrained eye (my untrained eye!) 😅😅😅
I wouldn't have let go of the heelhook in the saddle if homie was wrist locking me. Just saying 😉
My dad taught me a lesson with those😂
One of the most dishonorable ways of combat.

Putting wrist lock in the title gonna get all these Aikido guys excited and say "see aikido works" bjj stealing from Steven Segal🤣🤣
So if you're cool headed enough, strong enough, and trained enough, you can literally just walk at someone and break their skeleton apart slowly with your hands.
