Joint locks are widely regarded as one of the most versatile physical tools-- they can move, immobilize, submit or severely injure a threat. They are also justifiably regarded as one of the more difficult of martial arts skills to implement in real life. In this video, Rory Miller makes the case that the problem is not with the locks themselves, but with our teaching methods. A principles-based approach allows relative beginners to improvise joint locks with one hour of training, something that many traditional approaches have failed to do with hundreds of hours. Joint locks are NOT primary self-defense techniques. If you are in a position that requires self-defense you are justified in and likely need a higher level of force. However, if your job requires controlling violent people with minimal injury you must be good at joint locks and you must be able to improvise them under pressure. DVD Chapters: Intro Principles Hinge Joints Ball and Socket Joints Gliding Joints Fingers Principles Review Lock Flow Drill Escaping Locks Conclusion Review: Must have for your Fighting Library - I have all the DVD's and Books created by Sgt. Rory Miller. The information is complete and concise. This particular DVD explains the mechanics of how to create a joint lock, why they work, etc. It's not a drawn out technique laden monotonous drone... I have a Blackbelt in Jiujitsu, and frankly, this is a good shortcut to the time spent, (6 years), figuring this all out on my own. In the system that I studied under, this sort of explanation was reserved for the senior Blackbelts only. I believe in a traditional teaching system, but this DVD would have made that training 1000% better if I would have had it 35 years ago at the beginning... I recommend this to anyone in Law Enforcement, the military, or in Personal Security who may be required by their job to wrestle with someone instead of just shooting/stabbing them. This isn't for armchair commandos to watch once and think that they "got it"... (please!, get off the couch and practice!), Safely! It's worth it. I would recommend purchasing this for your Dojo, watching it en masse with the class, and practicing it together, with people who are willing to think and improvise. This isn't going to be something useful to stop someone with murderous or carnal intent, as Sgt. Miller says, this is for the "Drunkle"... that Drunk Uncle who wants a cheap feel... all the way up to the exteme stuff, such as controling the other person until you can get to your weapon. This is in that gray area between running and shooting, where the "Left Hand Knife", and secondary weapons may fall. Straight up? This is another fantastic tool for that special toolbox that people in extreme situations will need. Review: Joint Locks review - Miller is an excellent author with years of real world experience with violence. This video is not a step-by-step guide to different joint locks. It is instead a guide to improvising joint locks on the fly in fluid situations. Miller states that if you are looking to apply the static locks presented in most defensive tactics classes in a fight you will probably not find them. Through the video Miller attempts to teach you how to "see" the momentary opportunities in a fight that you can use to create a joint lock. What Miller also states is that you cannot learn by simply watching the video, you have to "play" which is what most of the video demonstrates. It is a good video, if you are willing to apply the concepts and incorporate them into your training. If you are looking for a bunch of specific techniques this isn't it. I think that it's human nature to want the "if A happens, do B" style of instruction but what Miller is trying to teach is more abstract and far more useful in a real fight. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HQJ847Y | | Actors | Rory Miller | | Best Sellers Rank | #71,951 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #48,213 in DVD | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (86) | | Director | David Silver | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Media Format | DVD | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 7.1 x 5.42 x 0.58 inches; 2.88 ounces | | Release date | January 24, 2014 | | Run time | 1 hour | | Studio | Alliance Entertainment | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** David Silver, Rory Miller - **Format:** DVD - **Genre:** Exercise Fitness, Special Interest, Sport - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour ## Images ![Joint Locks by Rory Miller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ox8AjPuaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for your Fighting Library *by A***R on March 1, 2014* I have all the DVD's and Books created by Sgt.

I was very impressed . Ive been studying joint locks from various martial arts for a while,and sometimes the complexities of the various techniques become a little over whelming..What this DVD is teaching isn't the techniques itself , but rather the principles of techniques, the reasons it works . understanding the ""nature"" of the lock . the actual technique becomes secondary to the principle of it. I thought it was a great video and I would recommend it .
