	Armlock Information
		The flying armbar is considered to be one of the most spectacular joint locks in competitions where it is allowed, but it is uncommon because of the risk of losing position.
		The locking mechanism is similar to the kimura lock, but instead of using a figure-four, it is applied using a leg.
		A hammerlock is a shoulder lock similar to the kimura lock where the opponent's arm is held bent against his or her back, and their hand forced upwards towards the neck, thereby applying pressure to the shoulder joint.

		The difference between the Hapkido joint lock throw and the Hapkido body throw is that you must actually lock a bodily joint on your opponent before you send him downwards onto the ground.
		The limitations of the joint lock throw is that the practitioner who utilizes it must possess an understanding of body dynamics in addition to the necessary strength required to effectively lock the joint of his attacker.
		As such, to joint lock and then throw your opponent, you must be extremely efficient in your bodily movements and know how to most effectively lock the joints on your opponent and drive him to the ground.

	Joint Summary
		Fibrous joints are found between cranial bones, between the roots of teeth and the adjacent alveolar walls, and between bones a great distance apart, such as the interosseous membranes of the forearms and of the legs.
		In fibrous joints bones are joined by tight and inflexible layers of dense connective tissue, consisting mainly of collagen fibers.
		Examples of cartilaginous joints are the pubic symphysis, the joints between the ribs and the sternum, and the cartilage connecting the growth regions of immature long bones.

		One camp holds that joint locks are neither effective nor useful in combat, armed or unarmed.
		Some types of locks are more effective than others simply because the level of force that can be employed in the fight is raised allowing the Warrior more flexibility in his attack.
		In situations where there are multiple enemies, locking techniques can be used to effectively hold one enemy hostage and buy a better position to retreat from the scene, kill the hostage as psychological terror against the others or use him as a ballistic shield in case of gunfire or other projectile weapons.

	Automatic lock open U-joint coupler - Patent 4523871
		A torque transmitting coupling of a type having a mechanism for automatically locking a shaft to a housing upon insertion of the shaft into an opening in the housing and including structure for allowing unlocking of the shaft from the housing or the housing onto the shaft.
		To uncouple the shaft, the locking mechanism is manually moved to an unlocked position and the coupler is slid off of the shaft.
		This rotation of locking sleeve 23 is caused by the spring 34 which is biasing the collar 33 to the left which in turn causes the camming slot 38 to move the pin 29 which ultimately causes rotation of the locking sleeve 23.

	Martial Arts Planet - joint locks and obstinacy
		I found once that it's possible to resist many joint locks simply by using the muscles in your arms, turning it into a kind of armwrestling competition (if you must know, I was being restrained by a policeman...).
		Joint locks are very easy to do but more to the point if you are trying for one and its not gonna go then allow your technique to change to another one.
		For instance any lock which involves pushing the wrist forward toward the forearm has almost no effect on me. I would say the key is knowing which lock to apply and being able to smoothly transition between locks.

		Normally any joint can absorb and manage impact forces but when that same joint is placed in joint lock it can be broken with very little force.
		Joint injuries are more difficult to treat and case manage over other common musculoskeleto type injuries such as, muscles, tendons, and bone injuries.
		It is a well-known fact that 90% of all injured joint conditions and 90% of the joint surgeries could have been avoided with very low cost effective and highly successful non-invasive conservative applications such as this method.

	JOINT LOCKS: CAPTURING THE HAND
		I know that my personal experience with learning joint locks started with a singular assumption: the opponent presents you with his hand as if it were a gift and you were expected to execute a variety of locks and throws.

		By nature, joint locks are best used when a contact point is established, whether it be when one is grabbed (defensive), or utilizing certain special techniques for when no initial contact point is available (offensive), i.e.: combative trapping or grappling drills.
		A joint lock also can be a manipulation or break, but is meant to hurt and control the opponent.
		In this drill, joint locks are connected in series of 10 to 50 (or more) locks done in sequence.

	Adapting Pros. Stance Control Knee Joint Tech. \| American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists
		Four bar knee joints offered transfemoral amputees several characteristics that are inherent to their design: increased stability during stance phase, more anatomical motion, and improved cosmesis while sitting are three of the more favorable characteristics.
		The engagement and dis-engagement of the joint is dependent on three things; the position of the thigh over the lower leg, the location of the weight line, and the reaction to the ground reaction forces applied to the prosthesis.
		To help reduce the overall width of the joint, the two outer anterior/superior links were reduced to one and centered in the mid-line of the joint in the coronal plane.

		To me that wrist, finger joints, ankle, are the weakest foundation in the human body, and that is another way to bring down your opponent.
		I had assumed that they had banned small joint locks becuause it was to easy to do damage to those little joints, (not becuase they were deemed useless or ineffective).
		I'm talking about applying these small joint locks once you get to the ground and are rolling, and if the opportunity presents itself.

	Hand-to-Hand Combat Actions
		If the victim attempts to is able establish a Joint Lock on the attacker, they suffer a -5 penalty to their roll, but if their result is greater than 4, then the attacker's only option to avoid the Joint Lock is to stop the Crush / Squeeze attack.
		Joint Locks do no damage unless the victim attempts to break free, but neither the victim nor the attacker can perform any other physical action while the joint lock continues unless otherwise stated, although psionic powers can still be used without penalty.
		Wrist Lock: The wrist is twisted away from the victim's body and the victim can only escape by breaking their wrist, which causes them to drop anything in that hand and that hand can no longer be used for holding anything or for attacking until it is fixed.

	Movement Control Joint Ti-lock-Standard - NS Range by Vexcolt
		Ti-Lock-NS movement control joints are employed in controlled bays to provide local stress relief in accommodating the forces of drying shrinkage, thermal effects, imposed and transient loading (traffic), as well as deflection arising from movements in the slab.
		This range of joints is keyed into the bed or screed by wire ties which are placed into anchor points pressed in the metal side plates.
		When installing NS joints, and where the joint is used with marble or terrazzo which is polished after laying, it should be installed 1 or 2mm above the level of the unpolished paving.

	Ikkyo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The applications of the ikkyo pin are performed with several variations, two of which are (1) a mechanical method in which the elbow joint is secured in the extended position and (2) a nerve stimulation method in which pressure to a nerve on the medial side of the arm is irritated.
		In this variation of the lkkyo pin the uke is held down and pinned by direct pressure on the elbow joint itself.
		The effectiveness of Ikkyo as a martial art technique may be due to one of two possible mechanisms, (1) the elbow joint pinned to the mat in its fully extended position or (2) the ulnar nerve repeatedly compressed and released causing pain and thereby surrender.

	practicality of standing locks
		Every standing joint lock i have seen seems to be escapable by simply pulling your arm out, striking them while they are delivering the lock, or simply bending the locked joint in the opposite direction.
		Many of the martial arts I've learned before used standing locks extensively, they may work occassionally and certainly look flashy and cool, but they are much too low percentage of a move to rely on for a fight.
		Once the wrist is twisted, bringing the opponent up on his toes, he should be taken all the way back down to the ground where a modification to the lock can execute the pin, or other locks and pins may be applied (depending on how he falls).
