ninjutsu is not a martial art, and never was -_-

[ninjalla]

@jin54363 That depends on what a martial arts definition is.

@ninjalla

i'm talking about historical reference.

[ninjalla]

@jin54363 In the historical context you are absolutely correct my friend

One minor thing i like to add when doing this technique if you dont mind the critique... When you take the opponent down, and once on the ground bring their arm as high towards their head as possible. Like they are raising their hand in class. Ive found that if their arm is perpendicular to their body (sticking out to the side) it gives them a TINY bit more chance to wiggle free, bend their elbow etc. For some reason with the arm straight up, it hurts worse and its harder to fight against it.

We will try this. thanks

No, it's an armlock called waki gatame, he's applying pressure to the joint. The guy has no choice but to go down or he'll lose the use of his arm.

@xgladar You place your weight on the shoulder of the person. Thus furthering pinning the arm so now you have complete leverage for the armbar. Now you don't even need your elbow anymore. You just pull back on the hand and the joint lock is now being applied by your body.

[BlackShinobiShozoku]

@xgladar There is no reason? Well I'd beg to differ. Notice when he grabs the arm he puts his elbow into it. While holding the hand. What this does is cause an armbar. So if he pulls up with the hand and pushes down with the elbow. The pressure of the joint lock is increased. Thus the only way for the person to not get his arm broken is to go down with the downward pressure of the elbow. Which causes him to go face down to the ground. Once on the ground -cont

@ninjalla I like your open mindedness.

This'll probably sound strange but to stop them pulling that arm back you can confuse the muscles. (I don't know how it works but it does, when done quick and flowing).

If its their right arm. Pull arm to yourself. Then left. Then draw a rainbow arc. Then over with elbow into technique. Try it out before telling me what you all think. Like I said, it sounds strange but get it right and it can be used from even close quarter grapples.

@xgladar It works but only if the guy keeps his arm straight out. This only works against someone who has very poor reflexes and doesn't know how to fight.

Luckily most trouble makers on the street don't know how to fight so it's good to know.
