OVERVIEW

I began my journey with wrist locks many years ago as a result of my training in Aikido, Aikijujutsu, Shaolin Chin Na, Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Kali. Where the functionality of wrist locks really took off and began to make sense for me was when I experienced the progressive training methods of Jeet Kune Do, Kali and Shaolin Chin Na.

While I have great respect for Aikido and Aikijujutsu, I didn't like the training mindset that said ”resistance was forbidden” - that is, until a student reached a certain level in rank. What drew me to Jeet Kune Do, Kali and Shaolin Chin Na was their outlook on training. They had an actual training progression that began with mindsets and techniques and then progressed to higher levels. I found this very attractive because so many of the styles of martial arts I had studied were so locked into “technique” that they couldn’t see past them. It felt like so many styles and instructors were stuck in the second dimension of “technique” that they couldn’t see or understand “training method.”

So, imagine learning 2-3 wrist locks and “training them” for three hours hours. Then, you’re allowed to resist the locks in specific ways and then your training partners are allowed to follow your resistance into another lock. Next, imagine having your training partner put on a set of boxing gloves and you try to wrist lock them while they are actively punching at your face and belly. This was how my wrist locking skill sets were developed over time!

In the Functional Wrist Locking Course, version 1.0, I will share a bit of this training with you. I will show you some of the most common areas in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu where these wrist locks are most prevalent, as well as give you some ideas on how to train them.
