Simple to Use Elbow Joint Lock Takedown
Overview
In most self-defense situations you want to hit your opponent first, follow up with more punishing strikes, and get the hell out of the situation as fast as possible. For that reason, we don’t usually emphasize blocks or joint locks that keep you close to your opponent for extended periods of time.
However, there are a number of situations where you simply can’t take out your attacker and flee. On top of that, knowing a few simple blocking and joint locking techniques is crucial because like it or not you will occasionally get taken by surprise, or need to control an attacker. This move is perfect for a situation where a guy is coming out of nowhere with a right haymaker.
World's Fastest Drawing Knife.
You wanna try out the fastest drawing knife on the planet? Good. Because here's your chance to get it for FREE.
It even comes with a video showing you exactly how to draw this folder from your pocket (one-handed) so that it snaps open and is ready for action in the blink of an eye. (Your buddies are going to be sooo freaked out when they see this).
Breaking It Down
As you can see in the video, you simply step to the right (getting off your opponent’s center line) and block the punch while simultaneously putting him into a joint lock. In certain street fight situations, it is also necessary to contain and control your attacker.
If you are alone this is not a wise strategy. However, we are often with loved ones or close friends and need to control the attacker to prevent others from getting hurt, giving them a chance to escape.
This type of self-defense requires that you contain and control techniques. The takedown in this video is ideal because it allows you to control your opponent all the way to the ground and keep him compliant by putting extreme force on his elbow and shoulder joints.
Make sure you practice this self-defense move on training mats unless you don’t mind a bruised tailbone.

Cool move going home tonight and working it with my kid. Where can I get the previous seen mini courses at, newby to the site.
I love it talk about taking control that would definitely do it. Same thing my father told me always grab the fingers and here it is in a video keep up the good work guys.
WOW! very effective and way too easy to do, thank you.
“This move is perfect for a situation where a guy is coming out of nowhere with a right haymaker. As you can see in the video you simply step to the right (getting off his center line) and block the punch while simultaneously putting him into a joint lock”
Sure, if you can anticipate his thrown punch. Most people, when walking with friends, are too absorbed in conversation and are not alert enough to anticipate a hit. Especially the knock out type from a bunch of thugs stalking you. I would think that if you have to walk around always skeptical of your surroundings, and paranoid you’re going to get attacked, go walk in another neighborhood. We older folk aren’t as quick and nimble anymore as you muscle boys. That said, this is a good technique if you are as alert and nimble as a jungle cat.
Yes this work very well
Gabriel,
It is strange that I have been thinking about this, being attacked first rather than being prepared for an attack. Surprise attacks can be nasty, but with this one tip, that you, Mr. Garcia, have provided, I can feel a little less afraid of a surprise attack and a little more prepared if/when a surprise attack occurs.
Thank you,

Semper Fi!
Im a bouncer by trade….but Im only 175lbs 5′ 11″
Your techniques make me 100% confidence at work.
Thank you.
Excellent.
Not bad.
This is one of the better take downs and gets the job done by making the opponent`s arm inoperative whilst taking the fight to the throat.Quick and to the Point!
Brilliant! The possibilities of damage that can be achieved in the end i.e. fingers, thumb and elbow ribs …….
very excellent m0vement
Lovely!!! Have used it….
I love it. It’s the way it’s done. No Hollywood hype of blocking punches and all that nonsense. You lock him down immediately as fast as you can using element of surprise. You take him down using pain compliance. You can give him more of he refused to comply.
Bob that was brilliant with practice it will be so easy to do thank you
Mr. Pierce,
I’m a 58, and a newbie, but I’m definitely sold on everything I’ve seen , and will be ordering in a few days. The freebies have me convinçed that you have the best material available.at any price.
I’m 58, have stage 4 Parkinson’s disease, have never been in a fight, and I’m a classical pianist. The thought of knuckle- busting makes me cringe. So the training videos you offer are the only ones for me.
I’ll soon be doing a lot of solo travelling, and look forward to getting prepared to defend myself, and not be afraid to get out and see the world.
Thanks for the free videos, and the motivation you give people like me.
Good technique. Wish I was younger and order the videos. Almost 73 y.o. and street fighting is definitely something I never want to have to do… It’s better to avoid those places and consequences that put one at risk…
Great move. As always , moves like this MUST be practiced over and over to perfect because not being able to do it correctly can lead to more harm than good
Really good technique. Wish I had this training when I was young/er. It would have built my skills and confidence to handle situations … even in boot camp.
will be practicing this
great move thanks
Awesome great things so to teach my daughter
I have used the Adams apple to take down an aggressor when I was younger, and it’s very effective. Never used a elbow lock before, thanks for the info

Good stuff !!!.
I love the comment break his finger that’s my thing I thought I was the only one lol good work fella
Very nice! For anyone watching this pay close attention to what the instructor is doing and telling you because this all true,. He is sharing with you his knowledge show him the proper RESPECT.
WHY BELIVE ME, my name is John R . Williams and yes I hold A BLACK BELT IN THE MARTIAL ARTS.
I STUDIED UNDER GRAND MASTER LARRY HILTON AND PROFESSOR C.G.(PAT) BURKE. PAT BURKE TRAINED ELITE RANGERS. If you want to check this please feel free to do store, I do know what I speak and this man is showing you very good information. And if he wasn’t I would also tell u that also.
nice
I have experience as a security patrol officer, and this technique is excellent. The only way to demoralize an attacker is to take them to the floor, as they then realize that they do not have power over YOU, their potential victim. The options of breaking bones, etc., is decided by the attacker as they choose the level of force used against them in order to stop them continuing the assault/attack.
Great defense in close quarters with an assailant.
You spoke of this expert in an art that uses the attackers weight , size, strength to HIS disadvantage. Which ALL sounds like the aikido i took.
I prefer very little contact with an assailant. If one comes at me, depending on how fast his approach, i put my hands or fists up, when he gets close enough with his forward momentum, i drop my ass to the ground, put my foot where his leg&hip meet at the right side of the pelvis, grabbing his heel or pant’s cuff & watch’m soar. Stay holding the heel or cuff all the way, and his head will crack open against the ground, asphalt, concrete, etc.
FOR ALL OF YOU THAT KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE MARTIAL ARTS – I WILL TELL YOU THIS INSTRUCTOR IS GIVING YOU THE VERY BEST INFORMATION AND TECHNIQUES TO MAYBE SAVE YOUR LIFE IF EVER NEEDED. YOU MUST PRACTICE THIS IN ORDER FOR YOU TO USE IT. DO NOT THINK I AM SAYING THIS OUT OF THE BLUE AS I HOLD 8 DEGREES OF BLACK BELT IN MARTIAL ARTS AND A SENIOR INSTRUCTOR MYSELF. I WAS TRAINED IN KOREA BY THE KOREANS(THEY DO NOT PLAY GAMES AND WHAT I LEARNED IS NOT A SPORTS STYLE) AND THEY TAUGHT ME THE VERY SAME TECHNIQUES THAT YOU ARE SEEING IN THE VIDEO. PRACTICE THEM AND YOU CAN USE THEM, THE TECHNIQUES WILL WORK TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM AN ATTACK – – – – – YOU MUST PRACTICE THOUGH. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVES FOR THIS KIND OF ATTACK.
Love the content but it seems everything is based on successfully blocking or avoiding the first punch. What if you don’t and get nailed then what? Or is it fairly easy to see it coming and react appropriately?
Excellent visual, my smart phone has no audio.
This was a nice visual.
Fantastic! I am a 68 year old grandma and 4’9″ due to serious back surgery. Now that I’m also a widow I sometimes feel vulnerable when out in public. My spouse was a member of the SOB club several times over and I had a sense of security when with him. These types of videos help to give me a feeling of empowerment so I can go out again to do what I need to do. Oh, I always keep my eyes moving to keep assessing what’s around me. Thanks.
