Powerful Wrist Lock Principles for More “Prison Rules” Taps in BJJ

In today’s video I’ll answer a question about wrist locks and using them in BJJ. So if you partake in the prison rules of Jiu-jitsu, you’ll like this video.

I’ve shown several different wrist locks on the channel before, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5awtUfQsILqDtg4x4NKSk0YtHVUH9Wr_

So in today’s video I’ll give you 3 simple principles to follow when it comes to setting up and securing wrist locks in BJJ. Once you get the hang of these, you’ll get a lot of mileage from them, and you’ll find all kinds of different ways to snag someone’s wrist during a roll.

Hope the video helps you with becoming a better dirty wrist locker, like yours bearded, and thanks for watching the video.

  • often you learn it at bluebelt n they use it on un suspecting white belts that havent learn it throwing out the rules aka prison rules aka anything goes😂😂

  • The guy who came up with the term “prison rules” for those techniques has never seen a prison fight 😂

  • Chewy, please expand this subject to wristlock when your neck is being attacked after your back has been taken.

    I am a white belt, stocky and quite strong comparing to most guys in gym. I also have a very short neck and very difficult to chock, which led to (almost ) all higher belts seeing my neck as a challenge. Often people tunnel vision on my neck trying to RNC me for the duration of a round. I’m not good enough to escape easily, but I became good at (surprise) defending RNC😂.

    Thanks in advance!

  • I think the attitude towards wrist locks being dirty could be from an assumption that it is harder to spin out of. Since finger/toe locks are illegal maybe there is an association of the wrist having “less threshold to sense danger because its small bones”?

    But I would disagree with that sentiment since to me it’s no different then a ankle lock just tap early and often. 🤷‍♂️

  • Wristlocks are a submission that is nearly impossible to apply in a “gentlemanly way” (hence the “Prison rules” label) — most other submissions can be applied slowly with extreme control/immobilization of the opponent. The wrist lock is incredibly difficult to apply slowly but still effectively where an arm lock, choke, leglock, etc. can be applied at any pace. 🤷‍♂️

    • I disagree.

      I can apply a quick catch and hold with no problem.

      I use them all the time and have never injured anyone with one. It might be difficult to develop that sensitivity with it but it’s possible.

  • I hate them because too many people will crank them before you have a chance to tap, and my wrist always enss up hurting for the nezt week. It’s the only reason I don’t roll with certain people.

    Other people understand that if my elbow is controlled, my wrist isn’t going anywhere and they can just hold it until my brain registers what’s happening. I’m perfectly fine with them.
