Today let’s look at a few details of a couple of arm locks.
I’m sure you have likely seen these arm locks (paint brush, snap arm bar, kimura)
at some time during your training. The video below has some nice details about
how to make the locks tighter and more efficient, how too properly transition
from one lock to another and it also shows the difference between a sport lock
and a self-defence lock.

But wait you say won’t the same lock I do rolling in class
work on the street? Well… yes it will BUT it’s not the most effective most
powerful of preforming the lock. In the above video we focus on the paintbrush lock
but this is true for many other locks as well.
Let’s have a closer look at this and where it came from. We
do the motions we do in sport grappling to get the submission AND to protect
our partner. In self-defence I DON’T have a partner only an attacker and I WANT
to hurt them.
Sport paintbrush lock
- Key lock arm
- Pull arm down to their side as tight as possible
- Turn hand out for tightest lock
- Lift up on the elbow to get the tap.
Everything is done in a controlled way to ensure you don’t
actually injure your partner. Will this work on the street yes, but it’s not
the most efficient use of time, leverage or strength. This about when you try
the paintbrush lock in class against someone much larger than you, what happens…
they power out of it.
Let’s looks at the self-defence version
Self-defence paintbrush lock
- Key lock arm
- Turn hand out
- Lift elbow and pull arm down to side as hard as possible, rotate your body to add extra power.
There are fewer steps, it comes on quicker, you’re using
your whole body and it’s far more likely to work on somebody that is twice your
size.
==> Cross body armlocks<==
Try both but be nice to your partner and be very careful
once you turn their palm out with the paintbrush lock as it will be super tight
and very little pressure is needed.
Happy training.
