Your Standing Arm Lock not Working?.... Try this!

So they bomb you with a straight punch. You block and strike them in the ribs then execute a standing arm lock but....

If you have been looking at my articles for a while now, you know I'm a big fan of chaining techniques together. Taking techniques out of the syllabus and linking in ways that make sense. It would be amazing if in a real fight that your first point of contact, your first technique was the one that ended the fight but in reality it often isn't.

Always remember you do what you practice!

Check out the standing arm lock and a few options of what you can do if it doesn't work out.

==>Standing Arm Lock Follow-up Techniques<==

A nice training tip to help you flow from one technique to another is, when you're practicing your techniques and you find yourself out of position, instead of stopping and starting over quickly move to another technique that fits the situation. Go slow though as your partner likely will not be expecting this new technique.

Surprize Them with this Combination!

Today let look at chaining two attacks together.
This combination works very well if you pay attention to the small details. Both the heel hook and the hip lock work because you're killing (pinning) there legs, both legs.

==>Heel Hook to Hip Lock<==

Now the heel hook isn't really new, this has been out there for some time. The hip lock isn't really new either but few people use it. When these attacks are combined they provide a nice one, two attack. Most people will see the heel hook coming and defend it but when you switch to the hip lock while keeping them pinned, unless they have really good hips your likely to get the tap.

Try it out next time you roll and see if it will work for you!
