John Danaher- The Problem With Wristlocks

Wristlock has a stigma associated with it. But as heel hooks get more mainstream it’s somewhat become more acceptable to use in competition and even in rolls as long as it’s applied with caution.

Wristlocks (known as mao de vaca in Portuguese) are some of the lesser used submissions in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

Wrist locks are used widely in Akido, Hapkido and Japanese Ju Jitsu. They are illegal in Judo and Sambo.

They are legal in BJJ from blue belt and upward.

Famed instructor John Danaher, who is in big part responsible for the emergence of leglocks in BJJ, was asked what he thought wrist locks and their effectiveness.

For Danaher, it all comes down to control.
