Korean by Birth Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 Does anyone know where I coget some information for FREE on wrist and arm locks. I want to learn these but do not have the money to pay for books or tapes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
sano Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 just search on google belive me there are a lot of free articles that tell you how to do certain moves in martial arts. falcon kick!!!
battousai16 Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 that maybe, but joint locks are a wee bit difficult and perhaps a bit dangerous to learn on the internet. i'd advise you to find someone who knows what they're doing and have them show you some time "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
iolair Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 I agree - although a quick web search will easily find free information, the only way you can really learn these moves is with someone real & cooperative to practice on. Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.
Korean by Birth Posted September 11, 2003 Author Posted September 11, 2003 Thanbks for the info I just want to get the basics down. I take Krav Maga and I got all the combatives and defense down but I want to get proper training but don't know style I should train in do the wrist and arm locks.
Treebranch Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Try to download Jujutsu clips off the net, but don't get too caught up in the locks. Look at what the person is doing with his feet and whole body. The locks only work with your body behind it. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
Sens55 Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Although it may be difficult to master without proper training, and it certainly will take more time, you can teach yourself these things, especially with a partner (any partner). The general concept is to look at the joint being manipulated. It was made to function in a certain range. If you look at the mechanics of it, you'll see that making it go at a different angle will lock it. I.e. your wrist can only extend so far up or down. Taking it past it's intended range will "lock" it. Taking time to study it joint by joint and finding ways to manipulate it will work. After all, that's what the various masters did to learn them in the first place. Of course, since it is reinventing the wheel, so to speak, it's certainly faster and easier to find someone who knows how and have them teach you. Additionally, a knowing instructor can often show minute things that you can do to make it more efficient or effective. Like in an "Americana" or "figure 4 arm bar" just moving the arm down at a 45 degree angle makes the move more effective. Unlikely lessons like that will be free, though.
