Arm Lock Down Takedown

Taken from Day 3 of our 2019 Restraint and Control Camp with Mike Malpass, he we learn how to use the arm lockdown (a.k.a. Forearm Weave) to control a subject. The lockdown is a primary ripping technique for removing a subject's grip from prison cell bars, door frames, steering wheels, etc. It provides strong control of the close arm, significant potential for pain compliance and because it compresses the arm, it removes the bulk of the laxity and escape potential from the subject. In this clip, we see how to shift the subject's weight to provide a safe transition to ground control for cuffing and restraint.
The vulnerability of the lockdown is the freedom of the subject's second arm. Please not that for instructional purporse my head is away from the subject but that in application, the officer's head should be driving into the subject's face or else tucked behind their shoulder.

I also come from a Catch wrestling background. We call this "Keylock" variation of Russian 2-on-1. Because your pressure arm (key) is going through a hole created by his arm (lock).
Billy Robinson has a good video on this move from ten years back. Your finish was also really simple and effective. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Kevin, got 3 questions about this clip;
1) During our training we focus on using techniques that would work in streetfights or other real life scenarios outside of sport. When we do this hold, we definitely feel that it works. However, we wonder if it would be viable to use in a real scenario outside of sport, as we find that it seems to be a move that requires a lot of setting up to do(or maybe we aren't that proficient with it at the moment?).
2) Furthermore, my instructor noticed that if the person defending the hold puts his free hand on the hand that is being controlled and pushes it downwards, he can break the hold @ 1.26 min into the video. Anyway to remedy this or you just need to take the person down fast enough and not spent too much time in the standing position?
3) Lastly, how would one get into a position where he could start the performing this hold in the first place, seeing as you are standing kinda side by side to your opponent? Is it a counter from a clinch position, or when you shoot and then switch position to the side/ back of your opponent?
As always, your input is appreciated!

Normally it’s set up with a Russian 2-on-1. We typically use it for extractions. I’ve used it to take someone out of a car and another out of a bathroom stall. We generally use it in 2 man interventions with one on each side. As for countering the second hand, knee strike the thigh and drive the top of your head into their face. Focus on triangular stepping, pushing into them and circling to keep them off balance. Emphasize dropping your threaded elbow more if he blocks the upward pull of the wrist. If he grabs his own hand, use a question mark motion to punch the lock forward the wrench it around and to their back. Also bury your head behind their shoulder. If you step under with your hips in that position like you want to duplex you will dislocate them shoulder usually and that will take all the fight of him.

bunch of BS.. a white belt isn’t let you do this bs

Strongly disagree. This is something we fire. Used to break grips when I worked security, particularly on door handles and frames, once on a steering wheel in a car extraction . It’s not a sparring technique it’s a temporary grip break and control usually used in 2 man extractions and it’s widely used by many of the professionals I teach. It’s also widely used I. Free style and catch wrestling . It’s fine if it’s not for you but your criticism is unfounded.
