wristlock

Joint manipulation technique

A wristlock is a grappling technique that hyperextends or twists the wrist joint to control or submit an opponent.

Common in martial arts like judo, jiu-jitsu, and aikido, wristlocks work by applying pressure against the joint's natural range of motion: He tapped out when she caught him in a wristlock.

Police and security personnel use wristlocks for restraint and compliance.
