Cow Hand Wrist Lock from the Crucifix Position

Executing a cow hand wrist lock from the crucifix position:

1. Start in the crucifix position, attempting a rear naked choke or triangle without success as the opponent defends and tries to escape.
2. As the opponent begins to move and escape, look to capture their elbow to prevent them from fully escaping.
3. Trap the opponent's arm by placing your armpit over their elbow, keeping it stuck to your body to prevent them from bridging up or getting off the ground.
4. Ground the opponent to apply pressure to their wrist. Grab their hand and pull straight down, ensuring their elbow stays on the floor and tight to your body for a strong wrist lock.
5. Be cautious with the wrist lock as it targets a delicate joint. Adjust the force used based on your training partner's flexibility.
6. Maintain control of the opponent's shoulder to prevent further turning and keep your legs secured to avoid the opponent reversing the position.
7. Consider the opponent's potential escape moves and counter them by keeping a tight fit and control over their movements.
8. If other submission attempts like a Kimura fail, smoothly transition to the wrist lock by sliding the opponent's arm into your armpit and driving their wrist down for the submission.

This technique leverages the opponent's escape attempts to set up a wrist lock, emphasizing control and caution to effectively submit while preventing escape or reversal.
