Art of the Wristlock

About Art of the Wristlock

Aikido and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blackbelt Roy Dean presents an overview of wrist locks.

7 major techniques of Aikido are taught, including variations influenced by Roy Dean’s training in Japanese Jujutsu and BJJ. Wristlocks specifically for ground fighting are detailed, with every technique shown having success against resisting opponents.

3 seminars at the beautiful Yosokan Dojo in Monterey, California are also included. The first covers BJJ techniques and their correlation to Aikido. The second connects standing wristlocks with BJJ groundwork, and the third is a no gi clinic that covers foot locks and lower body submissions.
