Spine locks target the vertebral column — cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine — by applying compression, torsion, or hyperextension forces to the spinal segments. [1,2] These are among the most danger...
The RNC-Grip Extension is a neck crank finishing variation where the attacker uses a rear-naked-choke-style grip configuration but extends the neck backward (cervical extension) rather than compressin...
The Armbar Escape family covers all techniques for escaping the juji-gatame (cross-body armbar) and its variants once the attack has been initiated. [1] The armbar is one of the most common and highes...
The Hitchhiker Armbar Escape subfamily covers escapes that use a hitchhiker-like thumb-up rotation of the trapped arm to change the angle of the hyperextension and create space to pull the arm free. [...
The Stacking Armbar Escape subfamily covers escapes that use forward pressure (stacking) to compress the attacker and relieve the hyperextension on the trapped arm. [1] By driving forward and putting ...
The Ankle Lock Escape subfamily covers techniques for escaping the straight ankle lock (ashi-gatame), where the attacker hyperextends the ankle joint by controlling the foot against the wrist or forea...
The Standard Ankle Lock Escape executes the fundamental defence by pulling the foot free from the attacker's grip through a combination of straightening the leg and rotating the foot. [1] The defender...
The Kneebar Escape subfamily covers techniques for escaping the kneebar (hiza-juji-gatame), where the attacker hyperextends the knee joint by controlling the leg and applying hip pressure against the ...
The Standard Kneebar Escape executes the fundamental defence by bending the trapped knee as forcefully as possible to prevent the hyperextension, then rotating the hip to change the angle and extract ...
The Power Line Punch is Jack Dempsey's concept of optimal structural alignment during a punch — an imaginary straight line running from the shoulder joint, through the elbow, wrist, and knuckles, alon...
The Electric Chair Submission is a groin and inner-thigh hyperextension applied from the lockdown half guard position, where the attacker elevates the opponent's trapped leg upward and outward while s...
The face crank applies pressure across the opponent's face — typically the chin, jaw, or nose — to force cervical hyperextension and create intense pain. [1,2,3] The attacker clasps hands under or acr...
The face crank from rear mount is applied from standard back control by placing a hand or forearm across the opponent's face — typically under the nose or on the chin — and pulling the head backward w...
The rear neck crank from body triangle uses the stable body triangle back control to anchor the opponent's torso while the attacker grips under the chin, across the forehead, or on the face and pulls ...
Compression locks are submission techniques that crush muscle tissue against bone, causing intense pain through deep tissue compression rather than joint hyperextension or vascular restriction. [7] Th...
Finger locks are small-joint manipulation techniques that isolate and hyperextend, hyperflex, or laterally deviate one or more fingers beyond their anatomical range. [1,2] Techniques include single-fi...
Joint locks are submission techniques that isolate a joint — elbow, shoulder, knee, ankle, hip, wrist, or spine — and apply force to hyperextend, hyperrotate, or compress it beyond its anatomical rang...
Ankle locks are submissions that attack the ankle joint — primarily by hyperextending the talocrural joint (straight ankle lock) or rotating the subtalar joint (toe hold). [1,3] The straight ankle loc...
The armbar (juji-gatame) is the most fundamental elbow lock in grappling, hyperextending the elbow joint by controlling the opponent's wrist and pressing the hips upward against the back of the elbow....
Ashi-gatame (足固め, 'leg hold') is an elbow lock where the attacker uses a leg to pin and isolate the opponent's arm against their own body, then applies hyperextension pressure to the elbow. [1,2] The ...
Hiza Garami is a knee lock technique in judo and jujutsu that attacks the knee joint by entangling the opponent's leg and applying rotational or hyperextension force. [1] The attacker controls the opp...
Spine compression locks apply axial compression or stacking force to the vertebral column, compressing the intervertebral discs and stressing the spinal ligaments. [1] Common examples include the Bost...
Wrist locks target the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints of the wrist, applying hyperflexion, hyperextension, radial deviation, ulnar deviation, or rotational (pronation/supination) force to submit the...
The Pankration Arm Lock is an arm hyperextension technique documented from the ancient Greek pankration tradition, predating modern armbar variations by over 2,000 years. [1]
Tenbin Nage (literally 'scale-beam throw') is an aikido throw that off-balances the opponent by hyperextending their elbow joint while levering against the shoulder, treating the opponent's straighten...
The Hitchhiker Defence subfamily covers the armbar escape technique where the defender rotates in the direction of the thumb (like a hitchhiking motion), turning the body to relieve the hyperextension...
