Art of the Wristlock 2.3

Roy Dean, an Aikido and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, offers a comprehensive examination of wrist locks, emphasizing their application across different martial arts disciplines. The presentation includes detailed instruction on seven primary Aikido techniques, incorporating variations influenced by Roy Dean’s training in Japanese Jujutsu and BJJ. Special focus is given to wristlocks designed specifically for ground fighting scenarios, with each technique demonstrated against resisting opponents to illustrate effectiveness.

The course also features three seminars held at the esteemed Yosokan Dojo in Monterey, California. The first seminar explores the relationship between BJJ techniques and Aikido principles. The second seminar establishes a connection between standing wristlocks and BJJ groundwork techniques, while the third is a no-gi clinic focusing on foot locks and lower-body submissions.

Short review: This DVD is an essential resource for integrating Aikido and Small Circle Jiu-Jitsu principles into your BJJ practice or vice versa.
