Do Finger Locks and Wrist Locks work for self defence? Everyone is starting to learn arm bars, leg locks, and triangles in jiu-jitsu and MMA. However, when it comes to street tactics, can you use finger and wrist locks? They are not easy to pull off, but Professor James Hundon shows the proper way to execute a finger lock and a wrist lock, which he learned from his teacher, Professor Wally Jay.

  • More of a tutorial on how to make a man bun manly and tough! Lol… love to watch these “flows” all so naturally connected and while i only know the very very basics the sky is the limit. What a dance two grand masters woukd be to watch in a match to last 15 minutes without going down to stay.

  • “What if I told your entire life amounts to one thing…. knowing the right leverage to apply at the right time” – Movie The Peaceful Warrior, ‘Socrates’ to Dan Millman

  • They can work, they can not. Pain compliance does not work against pain-resistant individuals [alcohol and adrenaline, plus coke and heroin users, make for lots of those ] … even joint locks don’t work against those willing to keep fighting with a broken joint or bone. Trying to hold on to a wet finger in a wild fight, hoping they’ll submit to avoid pain, is hardly a reliable control technique.

  • Aikido’s ancestor is Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, and the name of the master was Takeda Sokaku, who had 2 well-known students: the Japanese Ueshiba Morihei, who founded Aikido, and the Korean Choi Yong-sul, who founded Hapkido.
    At some point, Ueshiba Morihei was of the opinion (and also politically driven) to found the contemporary, spiritual and soft Aikido from the very direct and aggressive Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu.
    That is the only reason why Aikido uses these large circles.
    Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, on the other hand, was (and still is) a very tough act.
    By the way: I’m just a Kali guy and only interested in the similarities between different movements.

    • I was just about to mention Aikido. I spent 9 years in it and even lived in the dojo for 2 years. I got to second degree black belt but haven’t practiced for over 30 years. If you don’t think it works you should try it, it does very much work. Done correctly, by trained others, it can look fake. If you don’t think it works give it a try. You just might leave with a bruised ego, among other things

    • Ok aikido guy I train kick boxing and have done some jiu jitsu, no belt or anything I’ve rolled in a few gyms and have very little experience with martial arts I’d like to see you beat any one with any training like me or any guy 5 months in a gym of any contemporary martial arts or even bjj or wrestling

    • Try this non Aikido believer. Try launching a hitting in close quarters. Aikido is the way to the spirit through harmony. Why does that matter in this day and age? People these days seek harmony and not aggressive hurting. If we all try to get along we won’t do it with violence. It’s called evolution of the martial arts, thus the harmony part. Much of it is derived for harmony in living not fighting. Most of us learn the martial arts is not the ability to kick someone’s ass but remain undefeated. Things have evolved from the warriors way to the way of harmony. It’s not the way of a violent way, or conflict, but a way to help and teach each other the way to live in peace. No matter what is known in other cultures and traditions and arts a good street fighter has no rules. I learned, as I matured, not to criticize others way of life and living. What works for one person may not be the way for another person. We seek our own happiness and love. We go into learning different things for our own personal happiness and growth. Growing in the direction we want to go. I chose to live getting along rather than kicking someone’s ass. It all depends on where we are heading as individuals or what direction we want to go in. If someone is looking for a new way of life we have many ways to go at it. MMA and tough fighters may not have the patience or opportunity to create harmony. Use the best right way to survive. And surviving depends on the environment and situation that arise. To choose your own adventure and direction that best suits yourself maybe the easiest direction for you and you alone. Different strokes for different folks……..

      This is a good explanation of the way of the ego death. It’s good to know how to fight and to win. It’s good to know that a fight is not needed.

      Have you ever tried to use your lucky genetics for the good of society?
      To use your strenght to build shelters for abandonnend animals and children?
      Or is your agenda to only hurt the next person?
      Did you come to earth to fuck up everything?
      Or did you come to do good?

  • I knew a guy a long time ago who trained with Tak Kubota (the guy that developed the T-grip baton for the american police – he also trained the FBI and local law enforcement on wrist locks etc for finger printing suspects). Kubota stated that when a guy is very strong and high on drugs, all the wrist lock in the world dont meant shit- it would literally take about 6-8 big police men to hold someone for finger printing.
    Still good to learn though ..

    • You dont need drugs just minimal resistance to escape a wrist lock. You cant lock something in that rotates almost 360 degrees… also above that in 3 dimensions

    • That’s for finger printing where the person needs to be still. What he’s showing is moving the person around with the lock. Two different scenarios. Plus, most police officers aren’t as highly trained (thousands of reps) as this guy is (or the guy you mentioned). 10,000 hours is real!!

  • Doesn’t work so well on irrational, drugged up wack jobs. They wouldn’t feel a broken leg, let alone a bent finger…

  • Prof. Hundon,
    Does this work with MMA Fighters?
    I’ve seen many times where an MMA Fighter defeats an individual that knows Wing Chun OR some other form of Martial Arts

    • I’ve seen wing chun adapted in very loose terms to be used (such as the serpent dodge) one can say that the very basic Muay tai fist slap defense is akin to wing chun but that’s about it. All this shit is… Well shit

    • @@kingofthegutter8259 Thank you
      I appreciate your feedback
      I’ll have to adopt the serpent dodge technique

    • @@wildcard5269 its that one move you see in every anime, where they dont dodge, thats my stupid autocorrect, but I meant block or deflect. You know when they snake their arm around the other guy’s arm, its not the worst defense to batting away an oppents incoming hand, but its not going to work every time. This is hard to explain but they drilled this in my kick boxing gym. Well a simpler deflect, that again, is just like batting or patting the punch away. Its not a bad move it just takes a lot of practice to incorporate in any real way that will be just as useful or more useful than head movement/foot work would be…

      Sorry for miscommunication friend.

      Theres some channels like Fight Commentary Breakdowns, he goes over a lot of style vs style match ups – usually amatuer fights. Wing chun is something that cames up a whole bunch. I belive martial arts journey did a simialr video on the effectiveness of wing chun. Knowledge is your greatest weapon or something.

      Remember to keep the martial arts legit!

  • Even if Im able to consider one might end up in a lock which os very questionable as trying to do these fine movements on a moving target throwing hands at you would be certainly impossible but even if were allowing that… He has another arm, he can maneuver still, he can kick, he can push you, he can run away or just pull you close. Try that shit on a collegic level wrestler who weighs 200+ pounds… Youre getting boddied.

  • This stuff is a gimmick. I spent many years doing chin na, wing Chun, tien shan pai, 8 animal style kung-fu etc… It’s all bs that works in slow motion. It also works with compliant opponents.

  • The only way I’ll be convinced this is useful is to see it against a trained boxer or trained MMA fighter

    • LOL. Really dude. It’s not legal in either sport so they’d have no defense for it unless they trained it. So yes, it would work if the opportunity presented itself. There are tons of opportunities to snatch a finger during grappling exchanges.

  • All the technics works well when your opponent does not do any.I think it is better to study the defence systems rather than attacks.

  • If you want to know if wrist locks work, ask a legit trained jail guard who’s trained to use them A LOT. Also, it helps if you have large hands, and even more if you have much larger hands and wrists than your opponent. My dad ran a jail, had huge hands and was a journeyman plumber for large building construction before entering law enforcement. Trust me, if my father gets his hands on your hands/wrists, something is gonna snap.

  • Two Dojo ballerinas. Cops don’t use those techniques. They shoot first and claim cowardice as a defense.

  • This is fuckin ridiculous, this is a guy that has not actually applied these “karate movie, gym warrior techniques” in a real fight scenario. I’ve been in dozens of fist fights, prison riots and fought and wrestled in gyms and I would really love to see this fuckin clown try this shit in a cell fight, disciplinary or riot (all real fight scenarios) wouldn’t even attempt this horseshit in a bar fight against middle aged men. Truthfully, this a relic of the days when Martial arts didn’t have a popular venue for no holds barred style fighting. Once organized no holds barred style fighting became popular guys like this 🤡 were exposed
