Let's take a look at some wrist locks. We just did the arms bars, I want to come back and look at the wrist. Similar energy in the sense that I always want to apply three directions of force as same with the arm bars. And I say a minimal because normally I end up with six to nine different directions of energy. And this is a kind of a challenge when you start playing with these locks. Wrist are little different joint. Well here we have the elbow and shoulder. We have hinge, down here we have this universal joint, so it moves a little bit more; ball and socket here. So the way we twist this is a little different; for example, on guard tends to be this direction up here. With a wrist lock because I can't turn and torque it, so now when do I push this way in it, but I also can get a little twist on either side. So we are always going to be adding a push forward and pull back and then a rotation out to the side.
So let's start looking at a little series here. First, I am going to work what we call take on them. I am going to reach under side, grab knee part in front. Now my directions of force will be, I am going to pull and push. So I have already got two, I have got one, two. Three; I am going to drive the elbow in towards the belly. Four; I am going to push the palm down and now I can add one more by lifting up and you’ll see the action in his body. So one more time. One; turning on the side, driving it to the belly, push down and now pull up and notice the body rise, very strong position this way.
Now resist the temptation of grabbing. If I grab, it's actually, I am too contained here. He doesn’t feel anything, he can quickly get out, plus notice how he can control me. So I want to have a free hand. When I wrist lock, I always kind of have a free hand where I can strike because if you get the lock initially, here I have the lock, now you need one hand. I can maintain the lock and still strike. It's really nice because I can drive this in and that punch goes right into the belly here or I can come up and shot to his throat. So let's run through this again. So we have one. Now, number two; I am going to fade off to the side. Really interesting principle you are learning here. You are starting to learn how to move not only your body but his body.
So later when I will do punches, I am moving him and me at the same time, instead of just me. And I haven't really affected his energy, or trying to just effect his energy, I do the two together this way. So you are already learning this principle. When I am here, one; I move me and him, okay. So one, my hand slides under the thumb, goes underneath. Now I am going to turn and slide my thumb in position. Come up, curl the fingers down and lock. Let's get that from another angle. This one is a little tricky. So we have the first one. One; now watch I feet off, thumb goes down, comes underneath, and now slides back into the wrist lock. Keep your hands sticky. Come up and press and curl the fingers down. One other way to do this is I can come here to this side, spill this down and I am going to grinding the bones together, this way. Very, very strong. You can also later add finger locks.
So here, now to the next one I am going to turn the fingers down, come around and grab the wrist. I am going to squeeze right in here between the thumb and finger, little point called Hegu or Large Intestine 4. You can press it or you can squeeze it. I also start squeezing the knuckles together this way, it's very painful. It takes power away from his hand. So I come up on my shoulder, bring his elbow down. Now I am going to point his pinky at his nose. I am driving it. Now let's look at that one more time from the top. One; drive in, push up, move out to the side this way. Also look from there, there’s my hit. I can come in, elbow straight, hand straight, this kind of thing. Front fingers down, no, no such like sticking the whole time, strike to the eyes, cut.
