Joint lock
Wristlock
A Wristlock is a joint lock primarily affecting the wrist-joint and possibly the radioulnar joints through rotation of the hand. A wristlock is typically applied by grabbing the opponent's hand, and bending and/or twisting it. Wristlocks are very common in martial arts such as Aikido , Hapkido and jujutsu where they are featured as self-defense techniques. They are also used as submission holds in combat sports such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu (where the most common name is mão de vaca , "the cow's hand") and Catch wrestling .
A spinal lock is a multiple joint lock applied to the spinal column , which is performed by forcing the spine beyond its normal ranges of motion. This is typically done by bending or twisting the head or upper body into abnormal positions. Commonly, spinal locks might strain the spinal musculature or result in a mild spinal sprain , while a forcefully and/or suddenly applied spinal lock may cause severe ligament damage or damage to the vertebrae , and possibly result in serious spinal cord injury , strokes , or death. Spinal locks can be separated into two categories based on their primary area of effect on the spinal column: spinal locks on the neck are called neck cranks and locks on the lower parts of the spine are called spine cranks . Primarily a feature of some martial arts and wrestling , a 2007 news article reported the dangerous use of spinal locks in Australia's National Rugby League . [ 1 ]
