How to Do a Shoulder Crank from a Jujitsu Wristlock

Video Transcript

"MICHAEL LEWIS: Michael Lewis here with Christian Martial Arts. On behalf of Expert Village, we are here to talk today about executing an outboard wristlock. Being able to transition from one technique to another in jiujitsu is vital. So we are going to show you an outboard wristlock going into a shoulder crank. The transition in between is very, very simple, very easy. Again, you just rotate your hand up, palm facing yourself. Take your hand, pry it in and then take your right hand and then left hand. Apply your outboard wristlock again towards your shoulder out towards the body. Now to transition safe, you are about to lose this technique and you need to quickly transition or if you want to get a hold, a little bit more control of the shoulder and this side of his body, you would take your right hand and slip underneath and grab. So you still have pressure applied to the wrist. You still have some control over his body. You do not have as much when you take your hand off, but what you do is, you again apply pressure. And as you apply pressure out, you slide up and then you have maintained a somewhat of a wristlock, more of a shoulder crank. Now, to make the shoulder crank work, you do not want to bring his hand too close to his body. You want to actually take the hand out slightly on a forty-five degree angle, then push down the hands but also push up at your elbow at his elbow. And then it causes a little bit more pain than doing it this way. People have a lot more flexibility this way rather than this way, okay? That is how you execute a shoulder crank along-or for shoulder crank, more specifically, along with an outboard wristlock."
