Jujitsu Shoulderlock Takedown

In this variation of the jujitsu shoulder-lock takedown, I demonstrate how a well-placed strike is a quick and effective way to put an opponent on the defensive. This technique uses an upward elbow strike to the chin to set up the takedown. Watch the video demonstration, then read through the point-by-point explanation to learn exactly how this technique works.

Watch the video in "Full Screen" mode by clicking the little square button on the right side of the control panel, next to the volume control. Return to "normal" viewing mode at any time by pressing the "Esc" (escape) key on your keybord.

[Note: The following images are snapshots taken directly from the video, so some of them are a bit blurry. But, you can still see the important points of the technique.]

Now that you know how the technique works, I suggest you go back to the top of the page and watch the video again. Then you will truly understand how to put it all together.
