Hi my name is Dan Schmidt from the Chinese Martial Arts Center in Seminole and in this clip today we are going to be performing the proper way to do a cross grab wrist lock. So if somebody ever grabs you right wrist to right wrist like this the first thing you have to remember is to take your left hand and place it on their hand for stability. From here you are going to rotate your hand, have the blade of your hand be right where the wrist meets the palm, turn in, place your hand on top of their wrist, step in, press straight down and move your body inward. So again when they grab, left hand on top, twist, blade of the hand meets the wrist, fingers on top, press down and move in. It is very important also besides the hands that you have to use your body. If someone starts to pull a bit you can move in and grab this way and you don't want to just try to muscle you want to try to twist your hips, this way, press in and bend even more, straight down and lean over the top. So once again they grab the wrist, place it on top, twist, and straight down and that is the proper way to perform the cross grab wrist lock.
