About locks and bars
Intro
Locks and bars may seem to be two separate methods of control but sometimes it is difficult to tell one from the other.Locks are holds where the attacker's arms and/or legs entangle the opponent in such a way that they lock into position and immobilize the opponent so he or she may no longer cause harm. Locks make it difficult for an opponent to resist or escap.
Bars are holds that hyperextend or hyper rotate joints to cause pain to cause submission, to cause compliance, or to damage or break the joint so it may no longer be used
Sometimes locks involve also using a bar and sometimes you need a lock to make the bar more effective.
