WRIST LOCK MASTERCLASS

There’s one submission above all others that’s looked down upon by a lot of BJJ players. In Portuguese, it’s known as Mão de Vaca (or cow paw). You probably know it as the wrist lock.

Wrist locks can be a brutal submission. Just take a look at this 13 second wrist lock submission of Jacare’s:

The wonderful thing about wrist locks is they’re one of the few submissions you can catch from almost anywhere. You can snag a wrist lock from the top, bottom, guard, passing, leg entanglements, and just about anywhere you can think of.

On top of that, because people often fear the wrist lock, you can use them as a way to set up other submissions or transitions. As a result, they’re an incredible tool to add to your BJJ arsenal.

On Sunday 6th July at 10 AM, Escapology BJJ head instructor, Chelsea Leah and wrist lock machine with be teaching a masterclass all about the deadly art of wrist locking.
