Not Getting the Wrist Lock... Try This!


Well we are finely back after the holiday break. I hope your's nice and restful. Now it's time to get back at it and work off all that Eggnog, tarts and chocolate!

Today we are going to continue looking at follow up techniques, where you can if the first technique isn't working. I've said it before "if you haven't thought about it and haven't practised it your not going to do it." This is what makes what we do self-defence and NOT just a collection of nice techniques.

==>Half Wrist Lock Follow-ups<==

Lets look at the half wrist lock from a shirt or lapel grab.

As you will see in the video this technique has two main fail areas:

  • The wrist control (they pull their hand away)
  • They bend their arm to protect the wrist (and likely get closer to punch you)
Have a look at the video for some options if either of the above happens to you. Remember these are not the only follow-ups, please play with the techniques you know and see what work for you. Always remember that your follow-up technique needs to be simple and direct to work the best.
