Joint Locks

Hello everyone! I am at Ha Yan Taekwondo with Seong Taehoon. We will assist each other on our final Karate-Taekwondo lesson! The reason for our collab is simple. I need a partner to demonstrate today’s technique - a Joint Lock, or Kansetsu Waza.

Karate is said to have hard techniques, such as hitting, thrusting and kicking. But those are not all! In hard, there is soft. In soft, there is hard. Sosai Oyama understood the importance of conserving energy in street fights. Thus, throwing techniques and pressure against joints are included in Kyokushin Karate. They are extremely dangerous and effective.  

🤍 Taehoon: Aren’t there three grapplers at XJ Company? 

🖤 Yeonwoo: Yes! I have seen Baek Seongjoon, Lee Jinho and Joo Jisoo demonstrated the prowess in Judo and Jiujitsu. 

🤍 Taehoon: Not effective all the time. 

On the streets, unless the combatant can maintain the range like Taehoon here, and end within seconds with pre-emptive strikes, the best way to finish a fight is to dislocate joints, break bones and knock the opponent unconscious. That is the hidden power of joint locks and throwing techniques.

Unfortunately, it is more difficult than it looks. I cannot teach you everything because I am not a master of vertical fighting. But I will introduce you to the mechanics behind bars and locks of the upper body. After that, I will show you an example of joint lock-and-throw combination - a Hyper-Supination Wrist Lock!

Anatomy Time! 

Excuse me, my dear readers! I will show you without my Karate-gi. (//__//)

There are three main parts we can manipulate on the arm: shoulder, elbow and wrist. There are the finger joints too, but I won’t go into that. 

Shoulder (glenohumeral joint): The shoulder motion is complex and wide. There are many ways to bring opponent to submission by locking the shoulder joints. For example, Ude Garami brings excessive external rotation to the shoulder, which is more than 90 degrees. Gyaku Ude Garami brings excessive internal rotation of more than 50 to 70 degrees to the shoulder. 

Elbow (synovial joint): The elbow acts like a lever to the arm, which means it can be locked up easily. The most common technique for elbow lock, for instance, is Jūji Gatame, or known as Arm Bar. In that position, the attacker secures an arm and holds it firmly at the wrist, two legs crossing over the upper body and hyperextending the elbow joint.    

Wrist (radiocarpal joint): The wrist has limited circular motions, flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction movements. The opportunities of wrist lock applications are endless, which include notably Kote Hineri, Kote Gaeshi, Kote Mawashi, and Tekubi Gatame, and more! 

Supinating Wrist Lock - Kote Gaeshi (小手返し)

Today, I chose to show you a type of wrist lock that can help you escape a wrist grab. Supinating movement of the wrist joint means that your wrist will turn outward to the direction of your thumb.  

In this example, I will be the Tori, Taehoon will be the Uke. I will let him attack me first.

Step 1: Get grabbed.

My friend is grabbing my wrist as one of the joint lock applications. In reality, the aggressor can grab anywhere on your body, which includes hair, neck, collar and arm. The possibilities are unlimited. 

Zooming in! If the grip is not tight, you can turn your hand sideway with your thumb pointing outward and escape at the weakest part, which is the space between his fingers. But if his hand is too large and your wrist is too small, you should apply a wrist lock. 

Step 2: Turn my palm up and grab a part of his thumb.

In this step, I’m turning my palm up like I’m holding something in my hand. At the same time, my other hand goes underneath, four fingers dig into his palm and grab the meaty part of his exposed thumb. 

The principle of Kote Gaeshi is the thumb turning down and outward, the wrist will follow. Step 2 is for exposing his thumb for supinating wrist movement. 

Step 3: Escape the grip.

At this point, it is much easier to escape his grip. I only need to turn my wrist up, that is also turning my palm to the side.     

Step 4: Grab his knuckles and get control of his hand. 

My hand just escaped! It is my turn to control his wrist joint. I will grab his hand, which is the part of the knuckles and fingers. His arm is slightly twisted.

Zooming in again! My hands must hold on tightly to prevent him from struggling off.

Step 5: Lock and push. 

Now, I’m going to push his hand back towards his forearm and down to the ground.

Step 6: Throw, stomp, punch, or bring to submission.

This step is optional but it’s highly recommended by me! If your opponent roll down to lessen the impact of Kote Gaeshi, you can do a full-body throw and stomp on them or punch them. Another way is to do an arm bar or wrist lock on the ground.    

Warnings!!!

This is the “static” a.k.a. the easiest version of practising supinating wrist lock. The lesson is for you to understand the unnatural movements of the wrist and how to lock it. There are numerous applications to this type of wrist lock. It can be used to deflect a punch, to escape a rear bear hug, a collar grab, or a weapon! 

In reality, no matter how big they are, if you can escape their grip and quickly apply the lock, they will have no choice but to submit, or get their wrist broken.

🤍 Taehoon: Beginners beware! Don’t stay still! Be vigilant and flexible. Use your footwork in addition to joint locks.

🖤 Yeonwoo: Yes! Beware! If you stand still and you cannot do it on time…if you meet a striker like Taehoon…or a professional grappler (grapplers hate wrist locks too!), you’re as good as dead. Sorry! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That is my final lesson on this blog. Credits go to Sosai Mas Oyama, Shihan Bobby Lowe, my Sensei, my friend Seong Taehoon and artist @krysanthees​. Thank you so much for all of your support!

Jessica Son's Biography

Name

Korean: Son Junghwa | 손정화

English: Jessica Son

Basic Info

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Height: 170.2cm

Professional Status

School: Jaewon High School

Occupation: Highschool student (2nd year)

Relationships

Relatives: Aaron Kang (father, alive)

Hannah Son (mother, deceased)

Love interests: ???

Appearance

Jessica is a stunning young woman with brown hair that falls just above her shoulders and long lashes framing her ebony eyes. Her skin is fair, she has a beauty mark on her right cheek, and tattoos on both of her arms. She is quite tall for a Korean woman, with a height of 170.2cm. She is frequently seen dressed elegantly and is always poised.

Personality

In the past, Jessica appears to be the ideal daughter of the Son family on the surface. She was always ready to do as instructed by her father, Aaron Son, where she worked hard to please him and make him proud, hence why he has expressed with pride multiple times that she resembles him in several ways.

Jessica is still the same quick-witted, always poised, and mellow-voiced person in the present. She has, however, become a little softer as a result of an incident. She has become more caring toward those around her, particularly a nine year old boy named Hans, the son of someone close to her who made her feel human.

Background

Jessica is a daughter of a well known high-ranking government official in South Korea, and she has been expected to behave in a certain way since she was a child. She has been forced to become someone her father wants her to be since she was little. She would see one of their caretakers getting beaten up by her father whenever she failed to meet his expectations, and he would tell her how it was her fault. That if she had just done what she was told, none of it would have happened.

As a public figure, her father made a lot of connections. Ji Sangtae, another high-ranking government official, is someone he knows well. Both men had intended for their children to marry each other as part of a family alliance. Jessica would frequently spend time with Ji Sangtae's son, Ji Yeonwoo, whom she will marry when she reaches the appropriate age.

However, when she was fifteen, she was involved in an incident that forever changed her life. A person she cares about was murdered right in front of her eyes by the parent she has always looked up to and obeyed like a puppy. Her father once again blamed her for what had occurred. As a result, she blamed herself as well. Guilt began to consume her, and she thought that the only way to alleviate it was to look after that person's child.

She took the young boy with her and they ran away together until they reached the streets of Gangseo, where she met Big Deal and the girls. Jessica worked with them for a couple of months until a certain individual became aware of her presence there and decided to rush over and presumably kill her for such a petty reason. She would have died then if her friends hadn't arrived just as her father was about to shoot her in the head.

It was a huge blow to social media when it was revealed that a high-ranking government official had been arrested for murdering his wife and attempting to murder his own daughter. Ji Sangtae was devastated when he learned of this. Fearing that his reputation would be tainted, he severed all ties with them and just focused on his own family.

When Jessica's father was arrested, she felt free for the first time in her life. For her, it was like a breath of fresh air. Joshua, with whom she had grown close in recent months, informed her of his and his friends' plans to attend Jaewon High School together. She was ecstatic about the idea, so she decided to attend school with her friends and embarked on a fresh start.

Trivia

Has studied at a language school since she was a child, so she is fluent in both Japanese and English.

Went to Myeong Moon Girls' Junior High and was classmates with Choi Bomi.

Was introduced to dancing by Dan-bi and loved it ever since.

Her main concern right now is why Ethan likes her, given that she thinks she has a dull personality.

She used her mother's surname instead of her father's.

She has trouble sleeping and oftentimes, gets nightmares.
