WILTON TEJADA: Hi, my name is Wilton Tejada. I am one of the instructors here at Camp Undefeated, New York City. In this clip, we are going to learn how to do an aikido pronating wrist lock. Okay, basically, he is going to grab. Again, I actually relax my hand. You never want to tighten up, okay? We are feeding off each others energy. So basically, turn him, turn the wrist, thumbs upwards and push forward, creating a lot of pressure, okay? We are going to do it from opposite sides now. This way, again, I relax my fingers, my hand, my wrist, okay, keeping aware, turn him out this way. Once I applied pressure at the wrist towards him, I'm going to push forward to lock the elbow and shoulder at the same time, okay? Let us try the same side again. So this side. He is going to grab.
