Talk:Small joint manipulation

Untitled

Please see Talk:Triangle_choke for general discussion of how much precision this subject admits of. The phrase "small joint manipulation" in and of itself is pretty obvious, and like pain compliance hold would seem intuitive to any law enforcement officer or native speaker of English, don't you think? Are we trying to distinguish this article from therapeutic uses, as in chiropractic? Rorybowman 17:04, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

koppojutsu

Added a reference to koppojutsu in ninjutsu (presumably also in many other japanese arts). In the Genbukan, at least, a variety of such techniques are used. Zuiram 21:25, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Used In Aikido?

While aikido uses many wristlocks, I'm not aware of yubi-osae (finger-controls) being very common at all. Where the fingers are manipulated, e.g. sankyo, several are usually clasped at once. I've removed this for now; if someone can clarify what is meant, we can replace it. --GenkiNeko 19:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The wrist and usually the ankle are also considered small joints. The wrist is actually a combination of small joints even smaller than fingers and toes. This has been historically true in martial arts and also identified by Rheumatologists. Aikido also has many small joint manipulations even not considering wrist locks, which I provided a link for.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bverji (talk • contribs) 20:40, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
