Many traditional martial arts teach the use of joint locks for self-defense. Unfortunately, they fail to realize that most attackers are too preoccupied with hitting, kicking, or otherwise abusing you to allow you to apply such techniques in a real fight. In this original Paladin video, Datu Kelly Worden teaches you the easy way to use joint locks in a street situation: the destroy, trap, lock (DTL) system.
With the DTL system, rather than trying to apply a joint lock directly, you first intercept and destroy your opponents attacking limb (as well as any other handy body parts).
Next you trap the limb to immobilize your attacker while you use punches, kicks, elbows, and knees to destroy something else.
Finally, once your attacker is sufficiently "softened up," you apply a joint lock to subdue him, throw him (preferably into something solid), or finish the destructive process by breaking the joint. This is the most savage system of close-quarter combat ever presented on video and a must for every serious student of self-defense.
