The Art of the Wristlock
I’ve been training with Roy Dean for some years now, whenever our paths have met.
It always leaves me better off, both technically and personally.
A few weeks ago, I received a plain parcel in the mail from Roy.
It included his most recent DVD, The Art of the Wristlock.
I’ve learned a lot about Roy through training with him on occasion and seeing him coach.
If I may attempt to define some of what distinguishes him, it is his inclusive mindset, clarity of instruction, and smoothness in implementation.
For these reasons, he is not just a brilliant bjj practitioner, but also an excellent educator.
Wristlocks are the centerpiece of this new set.
If you come from bjj, you’ll probably think wristlocks are a strange technique at this point in our progression.
It’s similar to where footlocks were a few years ago.
They were once unpopular, but have recently regained their appeal.
My bet is that with the release of this DVD collection, the wristlock will make a reappearance as well.
I know that if I was rolling and got caught in a wristlock, which happens occasionally, I mentally considered it as a partial loss, because I didn’t get triangled, right? The fact is that it was just my lack of knowledge.
When I “got up there,” I honestly assumed there was only the gooseneck form of a wristlock.
After studying this dvd set, I now appreciate the subtleties of the wristlock and the time necessary on the entry, and I believe I will respect them when they are used.
Another intriguing aspect is that, unlike other DVDs, I left this changed.
Allow me to explain.
Roy’s major strength, and it shines through in this set, is his inclusive worldview.
As I sat and observed the seminars at more conventional martial arts schools, I thought about how Roy was doing an excellent job of bringing people into the fold of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
How he gradually drew them closer to true efficiency.
As with any alteration, Roy would demonstrate an aikido throw or movement and then bring it to the ground, finishing in what you would consider a classic bjj move like an armbar or kimura.
So, as I sat smugly in my bjj mindset, watching the seminar attendees get introduced to things like complete resistance, I immediately understood that they were not alone in their quest and that I was in for a rude awakening.
Roy then demonstrated the specifics of many wristlock methods before, to to my surprise, demonstrating their use on the ground.
And I’m not referring about just one or two jobs.
He discusses applications from the guard to side control, side mount, back escapes, in clinch, standing, kneeling, and so on.
To be honest, I kept thinking, “I must try that,” or “I come there all the time and never saw a wristlock was there,” or “that would surely work.”
So it was a fantastic experience because I was transformed just as much as people who had a history in things like Aikido.
If Roy were here, I’d probably declare “mission accomplished,” but he’d probably just smile.
That being said, while wristlocks are the main focus, this is not a wristlock-only set.
During the workshops, I learned a lot about what I would call more conventional bjj (gi and no gi).
He demonstrated some excellent footlock entry, sophisticated finishes, triangle details, cross chokes, anaconda chokes, and other techniques.
There are several maneuvers with a high percentage, many of which I have forgotten over time.
So it was fantastic from that standpoint as well.
Last but not least, this DVD gives some light on Roy’s personal perspective.
These are pearls that you may include into your overall thoughts on the work.
Timing, “push/pull,” off-balancing, leverage, angles, and other concepts.
You’ll also hear him talk about pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone and the necessity of conditioning.
That’s the beauty of DVDs: you get to feel as though you’re sitting down for lunch with a real expert.
Attempt to get Jordan to sit down with you for an hour to discuss his training routine.
So, for whom is this? There are several bjj videos available, many of which I own.
Some are nicely done, while others are not.
Some are too sophisticated for novices, while others are debating the fundamentals we’ve all seen.
The beauty of Roy’s work is that it is novel to both bjj and tma practitioners.
I can honestly say that I was unfamiliar with all of the wristlock stuff in this package.
As a result, it is an excellent value and a wise purchase.
The Roy Dean Academy offers video for purchase.
