Why Ignore 5% of the Human Body?

Wrist locks. People either love them or hate them. They come on quick and hurt. They work. They work when you could have just done something else, which makes them sinister. It’s also why me and my buddies find them hilarious. During covid our little training pod had a chart on the wall for wistlocker and wristlockee. It got dirty as we chased wrist locks over other subs. Feelings were hurt and unbreakable bonds of friendship formed. Yeah, that you have been a triangle, but…wrist lock. Nice arm lock. Nope. Wrist lock. Or Kesa Gatame? Wrist lock. They are the prime example of gratuitous violence and the Jiu Jitsu equivalent of “stop hitting yourself.”

So, to understand them better, Pete the Greek is coming to Denver. Pangea Jiu Jitsu is bringing our friend in, and our friends at Katharo Training Center are generously offering up their mat space as Pangea is pretty snug.

The seminar will be April 20. The time and cost will be announced soon. We’re making some T shirts for purchase, so you can let everyone in your academy know you have no scruples, probably don’t put shopping carts back, chew with your mouth open, and absolutely question the status quo. Check back for updates. Hopefully, we’ll have time to sit down with Pete and share a podcast now that we’re up and running again after some life stuff that took over, well, everything. See you on the mat.
