What is that self defense hold called....?

Question

Where you restrain someone by holding their arm behind their back? I know the name but it's escaping me... Let's see if any of you can answer before I remember...

Answer 1

Your gonna have to be more specific then that. I thin despite all you guys out there that teach self defense and what you say I think the goal of self defense is to defend your self. If you break the guys arm but you did not run it's not like you failed

Answer 2

chicken wing or hammerlock

Answer 3

Umm... The objective of self defense is to get away from an opponent.  Holding them at all kind of runs counter to this goal...

Answer 4

If your talking about the hold I think you are, where the arm is behind the back, with force applied up and away from the opponent's body...that's commonly referred to as the "Kimura" after Masahiko Kimura.

In Greco, I think it's called the "Chicken Wing."  

Answer 5
