Adapted Ground Back-Bent Wrist Lock - WRIST#2

The adapted back-bent wristlock may be applied while lying on your back. It is a variation of the traditional figure 4 wristlock. It applies pressure against your opponent's wrist and fingers by bending them backwards in order to create pain compliance. STEP 1: Control your targeted opponent's wrist with your same side hand. STEP 2: Reach over/across with your opposite hand and scoop your opponent's elbow with your opposite hand and the lower portion of your forearm. STEP 3: Bend your opponent's target hand/wrist and forearm backwards while pulling his elbow forward with your opposite side hand and forearm. STEP 4: Snake your opposite side hand around your opponent's forearm and grab your other forearm thus creating the figure 4 lock. Bend your opponent's wrist/hand/fingers backwards towards his body while pulling your arms inward to your chest to execute the lock. WATCH THE VIDEO As with most joint locks, this lock dependings upon deception and a speedy execution. If your opponent senses the impending lock, he may be able to counter it with resistance.
