After all, it doesn't make sense to use two of your hands to tie up only one of your enemy's, right?<p></p> What follows is a way to tackle the possible dilemma. Let's use the Double Ninety wrist locks as an example. Here are some thoughts to straighten it all out:<p></p> 1. In a 'fight,' use a lock after you have hit. It's the move that brings control to the situation. So, you have already done some beating, by the time you effect the wrist lock.<p></p> 2. When you hold the Double 90 correctly, your enemy should not be able to even lift a leg for a kick, let alone reach over with the other hand. You can stop any movement by adding more pain.<p></p> 3. You can easily morph from a 2-hand Double 90 into a one-hand control. Just let go with the hand that is pushing at the elbow. Straighten out his arm, and then bend below where his pinky part of the hand meets the wrist.<p></p> Now, it's a one-hand lock. And it keeps your opponent's other hand even further away from you.<p></p> And here's a fourth point that may help ...<p></p> 4. If you are holding, say the Double 90 with two hands, and your opponent tries to punch, then you have the hand at his elbow to hit with; it's very close to a target ... you are already almost there. You can punch with the hand closest to your opponent's face ... and not give up the lock.<p></p> <h1><i><span style="color: #0066CC;">Keith</span></i></h1> <p></p> <div class="clearer"><span></span></div> </div> <div class="newsitem"> <div class="title">Martial Artists Who Can Make Wrist And Joint Locks Work Are More Confident</div> <div class="body"> <a href="wrist_locks_book.html"><img border=0 width=120 height=120 class="left" alt="" src="wrist_locks.jpg"></a> <br> <b>Whether you are sparring in a dojo, socializing in bar or restaurant, or relaxing at your favorite spot, a wrist lock could come in handy. <p></p>In fact, this type of control may save you ... if you can make the joint lock work.</b><p> <a href="wrist_locks_book.html">Read More about <b>Wrist Locks</b> ...</a><p></p> <p> </div> <div class="clearer"><span></span></div> </div> </div> <div class="clearer"><span></span></div> </div> <br> <br> <br> </div> <div class="content_right"> <br> <div class="links"> <center> <b>Sign Up Now:</b><p> <b>FREE <p> <font face="Verdana" size="2"> <b>Martial Arts<br> Mastery</b><p> Weekly ezine<p></p> </font> <font face="Verdana" size="1"> <form method='POST' action='http://www.kerwinbenson.com/cgi-bin/arp3/arp3-formcapture.pl'> <div align='center'><center> <p>First name<br><input type='text' name='first_name' size='20'></p> </center></div> <input type='hidden' name='capitals' value='1'> <div align='center'><center> <p>E-mail address<br><input type='text' name='email' size='35'></p> </center></div> <input type='hidden' name='subscription_type' value=''><div align='center'><center> <p><input type='submit' value='Sign Up Now ...'></p> </center></div> <input type='hidden' name='id' value='4'> <input type='hidden' name='extra_ar' value=''> </form> <p> </p> Free ebook when you join<p></p> </center> <br> </div> <div class="links"> <div class="title">Martial Arts eBooks, Articles, and More</div> <a href="wristlocks.html">Wrist Locks</a> <a href="knife_fighting.html">Knife Fighting</a> <a href="punching.html">Punching Harder and Faster</a> <a href="teach_martial_arts.html">How to Teach Martial Arts</a> <a href="safe_family.html">Keeping Friends and Family Safe</a><p></p> <div class="title">Martial Arts Resources (Free & Paid)</div> <a href="martial_arts_books.html">Practical Books and eBooks</a> <a href="martial_arts_ecourses.html">Martial Arts eCourses</a> <a href="martial_arts_articles.html">Martial Arts Article Archives</a> <a href="self_defense_articles.html">Even More Martial Arts Articles</a> <a href="coin_snatching.html">Amazing Speed Demonstration</a><p></p> <div class="title">Free Martial Arts</div> <a href="martial_arts_free_reports.html">Martial Arts Reports</a> <a href="free_ebooks.html">Martial Arts eBooks</a> <a href="free_martial_posters.html">Posters to Inspire</a> <a href="martial_arts_cartoons.html">Funny Posters</a> </div> </div> <div class="footer"> <div class="copyright"> <span class="left"> <a href="http://www.kerwinbenson.com">© 1999-2008, Kerwin Benson Publishing </a></span> <span class="right"><a href="http://www.advantagemartialarts.com">The Martial Arts Advantage</a> </span> <div class="clearer"><span></span></div> </div> </div> <p> <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-599793-1"; urchinTracker(); </script> </body> </html>
