shoulder lock
Arm control technique
A shoulder lock is a grappling technique that immobilizes an opponent by hyperextending or rotating the shoulder joint beyond its normal range.
Common in wrestling, judo, and mixed martial arts, shoulder locks force submission through pain or threat of injury: He tapped out when she caught him in a shoulder lock.
The kimura and americana are well-known variations.
