Re: Safety of wrist locks long term

If people are cranking me quickly I won't train with them. Period.
As Robin mentions, pain compliance is NOT the goal with a lock. Locking up, unbalancing, disrupting the person's entire structure THROUGH the lock is the goal and this is best learned SLOWLY. And with experience one can do it quickly but with enough control for there to be no damage.
This allows uke to learn to breathe and relax into the lock (and eventually maybe reverse it... :-) )
