[edit] This article was created because...
...several armlocks are not separable into shoulderlocks and locks targeting the elbow joint. Another reason was to unify the all the short stubs about the separate armlocks under one banner. The armbar couldn't be left out when some locks at the elbow joint were included, so it was included as well. ---Marcus- 22:47, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- It's pritty much ready now, i've wanted everyone to see what it looks like as finished. Some more references and links will be added though. ---Marcus- 13:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- And if it get's too crowded or messy, it can later be split up again... but right now, i think having them all under one banner is the best option. ---Marcus- 13:40, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- From what I've read, the omoplata is often referred to as a shoulder lock only. But I guess this is ok, given the subsections. Shawnc 13:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yes the omoplata is used as a shoulderlock, but after careful scrutiny i found out that some judo practitioners get the position, but instead of cranking the shoulder(which isn't allowed), they crank the elbow. ---Marcus- 13:45, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The kimura picture
I noticed that it doesn't have any licensing. But heck, it's from a newspaper, a major article, possibly even cover page, and its pritty damn old. But maybe some form of licensing explanation (fair use?) should be added?---Marcus- 17:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- I wasn't sure what the licensing should be -- I photoshopped it from a video I downloaded, a Japanese-language clip covering the match. I've added a fair use tag for describing the match/technique/Masahiko Kimura. Shawnc 05:33, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I can't speak for anyone else, but I find the choice of volunteers in the first photo to be very offensive. A black man is being once again harmed by a white oppressor. Somebody should think about reporting this to the NAACP. Ha, just kidding. I just thought it would be funny for somebody to read the first part of this paragraph and just get completely pissed off that somebody could still be so politically correct. Enjoy the rest of your day. :)
- Yes that was totally inane. LOL. Mglovesfun 17:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually the guy "oppressing" the black dude, is asian... not white. Regardless, that comment was effective to the intended purpose. (Although I'd say your words were a bit off from politically correct) 204.101.241.2 02:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Images of standing armlocks
There are lots of nice images here, but nothing showing a standing armlock. -- Medains 12:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dominant Grappling Positions
Therefore, armlocks are usually more easily performed from a dominant grappling position on the ground such as the mount, side mount, or guard.
I personally wouldn't call guard a dominant position, I'd call it a neutral position.
- I second that. Disco 06:02, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Importance
This was on Low but I changed it to Mid. In my opinion it should be mid or high... but definitely not low, armlocks are an important and frequent device used in martial arts. Disco 06:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
