I wonder what martial art he teaches? He has multiple black belts. Plus his gi is kick ass. Also, the uke in the vid has a kick ass belt. Black with a white stripe in the middle. Damn man!

I am writing them an email. This is horrible. I am telling them to contact USA Judo and get real information about Judo. Premier MA is a belt factory and a McDojo. The stuff on the Livestrong site is a piss poor account of Judo and BJJ or as they call it Brazilian Judo.

...I thought wristlocks *are* illegal? Isn't that what he's saying? I'm a judo n00b, though.

kote gaeshi is still taught in kata and not an integral part of Judo but the whole series he is showing about Judo is horrible. IDK WTF they were thinking about using this guy but JHFC that's just horrible.

NO this is just YMAS

I've always been curious about effectiveness of wrist locks for self defence, and saftey of them in sparring. A long time ago I used to do Bujinkan ninjutsu and I was told that the standing jointlocks we did were too dangerous to practice live. We were allowed to spar if we agreed on a safe rule set but it wasn't usually encouraged.

OK so the reason we never see wristlocks in UFC could be because the wrist counts as a small joint?

Some things I'll add. I saw another thread in the past about a wrist lock technique allowed in BJJ "Cowtoe" but this does not involve throwing the person from a wrist lock. Also when I did JJJ for a while the instructor said when I asked that small joint locks such as wrists and fingers were allowed in sparring but they had to be applied in a controlled manner.

Okay, I know I tend to be very scatterbrained with these so I'll restate my questions that I want to know the answer to the most: In your opinions are standing wrist-locks effective for self defense? Are wrist-locks too dangerous to apply against a resisting partner?

They're legal in a lot of BJJ/sub-grappling competitions and in MMA. They work if you first pin your opponent and isolate their arm. What doesn't work so well are the hey-presto wrist locks you see in ninjitsu et al, where you just grab the guy's hand out of the air and lock them straight away without controlling their body.
