About this video

Executing a wrist lock during a knee slice pass:

  1. When initiating the knee slice, the opponent may grab your leg to prevent the pass or set up a sweep.
  2. Post your hand out for an underhook to prevent being pulled into a sweep.
  3. Instead of grabbing the triceps to finish the pass, pass your knee through as usual but bring your hand over their arm.
  4. If the opponent tries to turn away, maintain your position and switch your grip from the triceps to the forearm.
  5. Pull the forearm to break their grip on your leg and then move your hand to their wrist.
  6. Grab between the thumb and fingers, and push down on the wrist to apply the wrist lock submission.
  7. If the opponent defends by turning their hand, you can switch sides and apply the same technique.
  8. Keep your leg straight and heavy to prevent being swept, and maintain a strong base with your posted hand.
  9. Lift your knee just enough to pass through while staying heavy to counter any sweep attempts.
  10. Frame the opponent's forearm against your leg, slide up to their palm, and bend to secure the wrist lock.
