Joint-locks Study
BJJ study is now closed due to lack of contributions but I would call it a successful study. But this will derive from that study.
Anyways lets look at the definition of joint lock and come up with our own..
Wikipedia says: "A joint lock is a grappling technique involving manipulation of an opponent's joints in such a way that the joints reach their maximal degree of motion."
Looking at this part: "in such a way that the joints reach their maximal degree of motion".
This means nothing in the toribash domain so I'll change it to: " a limb or section of body becomes immobilized."
TA's definition of a joint-lock: Grappling technique where you commit two or more of your own limbs to manipulate an opponent's joint in a way that their limb becomes immobilized or even broken.
If you think you've achieved something like this lets see it. Armbars included.

After some consideration I updated the definition of a joint-lock to include the general sense of how it could be executed and how it should effect the opponent.
