I don't remember how I know this little lock, or what it's called, but I'll try and explain it. It's more of a hand to hand combat move to get someone under control, but say you're doing it on their right arm, you get kind of a kimura/figure four grip on their wrist, with your right forearm under theirs and grab your left wrist, with your left hand on theirs and bending the wrist down. Their arm should also be under your right arm, you your back basically has to be turned to them, but when done right, you won't need to worry about them pulling anything sneaky. It's extremely painful. To see, just grab one of your hands with the other and push it down and try to touch your own wrist with that same hand. I probably made that very confusing, but for anyone who gets the idea, there ya go. And are wrist locks legal in most MMA fights or does that fall into the "small joint manipulation" category? Just wondering. Don't mean to sound dumb.

I believe small joint manipulation falls into fingers and toes. But Wristlocks could be effected as part of holding onto the glove ruling. But cant say for sure, so many refs and promotions have their own interpretations of the rules defined are a wide path of definition. Look how hard and varied opinions of the back of the head area ruling. All over the board.

I think I know the move you're talking about, I've always known it as called 'the goose neck'. It is extremely sore, I believe wrist locks are generally outlawed in MMA as it's does'nt take a lot of pressure to break the wrist joint. I'll try and find out for definite though.

Don't go through too much trouble natural, haha, i was just wondering. I still have two years before I can legally fight, I'm sure I'll find out before then. But I think i saw it on Fight Quest. I also just watched the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu episode. Hickson Gracie just eminates authority and power.

And if that's outlawed in Tri-State Cage Fighting (where I'll most likely get my start) then I'll be looking for the Sambo Ankle lock. I've somehow mastered that and can hit it from anywheres.

You might also factor in that most fighters have their hands "wrapped" which includes supporting wrap and tape on the wrists which may make it more difficult to secure a wrist lock. But in competition, I think I remember Royce Gracie using one to submit Akebono. I could be mistaken though.

from what I have seen in forums the wristlock should be ok. Just not fingers and toes. It would actually be something to get clarified at a fighter meeting pre show.
