The double top wrist lock is not what you might think it is. It in itself is not a submission (as we would call it in the jiu-jitsu community), but rather a difference in terminology used amongst the catch wrestling community to describe a grip in which you have a grip on your opponent’s wrist and using your other hand to grab your own wrist (like a Kimura or Americana grip). According to Erik, the double top wrist lock is widely considered the “bread and butter” of catch wrestling and many attacks can come from it.
Erik explains that there is a misconception that you can’t effective attack using a Chicken Wing or armbar. In this technique, Erik shows us multiple ways to create opportunities do finish your opponent grabbing said submissions.
