At this level you are being introduced to arm bars as a concept which can be used as a hold to control an opponent, or as a breaking technique.
Armbars use wrist, elbow and shoulder to control your opponents body. To apply the armbar, the elbow is kept straight and the wrist is pulled up.
Knife
Advanced Ranks
At this level we are examining ways to control the opponents wrist, in order to defend against knife stabs, slashes and neck threats.
