Skilled grapplers often work their way behind their opponent, knowing that this position affords them considerable positional advantage. They seek to lock their hands around their opponent' s waist for control, then they look for takedowns or submissions.. One useful way to get out of this potentially dangerous situation is to attack your opponent's arms in a tight lock, which goes by several names in different grappling styles. Often, it is referred to as kimura keylock, double wristlock or ude garami.
When your opponent locks his arms around your waist to control you, look down to see which hand is on top of the other. This is the arm you will attack. Begin by lowering your hips then moving out and away from your opponent. This maneuver makes your bas more solid and lessens the danger of you being picked up and slammed as you attempt the move. Grab the wrist of your opponent's uppermost arm-if you are attacking his right arm, grab the wrist with your left hand, then place the wrist of your other arm under the elbow of the arm you are attack. Push his wrist down, using your wrist under his elbow as a fulcrum. Thread your hand under his elbow and grab your own wrist. This move puts you in position to perform the lock. Break his grip around you but pausing his wrist down with both hands and lowering your hips. Turn around to face your opponent, maintaining the lock on his arm. This position puts great pressure on his trapped arm.
Having broken the lock and turned around, you now have a choice. First, you can continue holding the lock. Jump toward your opponent, placing one foot deep between his legs. Sit down and roil your opponent cleanly over you and into the same lock on the ground. Aid the move by flicking your opponent over with the foot you placed between his legs. Your second choice is if you wish to avoid fighting on the ground. In that case, you can simply let go and return to the free0-movement phase.
