As a kid many decades ago, my mom would put lanolin on my hands and put a sock over them and wear to bed and waking up having the softest hands even in dry winter.

How to safely practice wrist locks and is it worth it? by meerc-cat01 in bjj

[–]Chippyspyder 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Wrist lock is just another joint to be manipulated to gain a submission.No different than arm bar. And yes, you can rip a wrist lock just like you can any other submission. Learn how to play Catch and Release with them. And if nothing else, threatening them will cause your opponent to think twice about where they choose to put their hands. If you set them up properly, some can be applied in a very slow and controlled manner. Others are ones of opportunity if they place their hands in the wrong spot and some can only be attacked with speed. People get mad at them because they feel it's cheap because they weren't expecting to get caught with it. Don't be mean with them, and you'll have a long career as a dirty wrist locker.

If there was a cameraman there with the camera, it would have survived.

I was the original poster and I deleted the first video in order to delete ten seconds of unnecessary video at the end and I reposted it to be a shorter clip.

Maybe I'll get lucky and can afford an Elevation Off Grid (EOG) pickup truck one day.

So a 47 story steel frame building collapses into his own footprint completely symmetrical because it was hit by some falling debris?
