More on "shaving "the joints

The following footage shows me "shaving" the wrist joint. This is the closest joint to you when you are attacked with the hands so it is the easiest to shave and the first to study. The concept is that you slide your hand down the arm until you find the groove of the joint . The joint is held together by ligaments as well as a fascial sheet. When you slide in the groove of the joint, you can raise your crown point and release down to touch their foot through their structure. This action stretches the fascial sheet that connects and covers the underlying tissue in the body. Sinking into the groove of the joint allows you to grab the fascia and then roll it with a coiling action. This action serves to grab your partner from a distal place within their body, making it difficult for them to neutralize the grab with muscle. It would be similar to me, grabbing your jacket, which pulls you from your back while I pull on the front of your jacket. This footage shows me accessing the joint from the top ,bottom ,inside , and outside. It is advisable to first learn how to access it from the top because you can then trap their feet or connect through their tissue to their feet but eventually you can pull them out through any side of the joint. This serves to startle your opponent, as well as create an opportunity to deliver a strike or counter attack with almost no possibility of being countered in the process.
