arm locks
Grappling submission techniques
Arm locks are grappling techniques that immobilize an opponent by hyperextending or rotating the arm joint—typically the elbow or shoulder—beyond its natural range of motion.
Common in wrestling, judo, and mixed martial arts, arm locks force submission through pain or threat of injury: She caught him in an arm lock and he tapped out.
The singular form refers to any individual technique in this category.
