Technique #15- The Snake Shoulder Lock

I first learned the snake shoulder lock while studying Filipino Kali and have used it many times over the years. It is a very reliable technique that can complement any martial art you study. The technique gets its name from the fact that when you apply the lock, your arm moves inside of the opponent’s arm like a snake slithers around a tree limb. To execute the snake shoulder lock, use your lead forearm to hook inside of the opponent’s arm, near the inner crease of his lower biceps. Rotate your arm completely around to the back of his arm near the triceps area. Then secure the hold with your free hand to lock the elbow and shoulder joint. From this position you can apply pressure downward against the shoulder joint. In the below pictures, the attacker throws a punch which the defender deflects downward with the back of his forearm. Without stopping the flow or momentum, he snakes his arm around the attacker’s arm as he strikes towards his face with his free hand. The striking hand immediately reinforces the locking arm near the opponent’s shoulder. From this position, the defender applies pressure to the shoulder joint which bends the attacker forward. He finishes the attack with a knee strike to the head.
