Description:

The boys discuss the stigma behind wristlocks and why it is total BS. 

One of Kroyler Gracie’s go to techniques is the “dreaded” wristlock. He’s quite the aficionado on them. You could call him the John Danaher of wristlocks....perhaps...  So that’s why this pro tip has been a long time in the coming. I’m not sure why we haven’t done it before now in all honesty. 

First, Kroyler talks about the reasons behind a few of the biggest know stigmas behind wristlocks. Why do people hate them so much and ban them in most competitions and schools?  Why do we get so mad when we get caught by a wristlock?  Where does all this hate and vitriol come from?

We also delve into the question about the safety of them. There was a time when heel hooks weren’t used because they were considered too dangerous to practice. Now though, they are taught at most schools without a second thought. The point behind this is, if you have the proper knowledge of application and escape while having a coach to oversee and help you, the injury rate plummets. The same will be true for wristlocks. 

Finally we talk about whether or not they are an actual technique or just some crap you pulled out of nowhere. The fact is, despite people’s hatred for them, they are in fact a technique. Not just a technique, but one that can be used in many different scenarios. 

Before the show ends we read a couple of listener emails that were just too good to pass up. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
