Pain compliance hold

A pain compliance hold uses a painful joint lock, compression lock, or pressure point technique to control an opponent. Pain compliance techniques are used as self-defense techniques in martial arts, especially in Aikido. They are frequently used by police and corrections personnel in accordance with an "escalation of force" policy; however, such techniques presume a rational adversary. Some altered states such as mental illness, extreme flexibility, drug use, or extreme adrenaline may alter the subject's perception of pain or willingness to submit. Some examples are:

Pressure points
Wrist locks
Finger bends

Submission Hold

A submission hold is a combat sports term for a grappling hold applied to force an opponent to submit, either due to extreme pain or fear of injury. Some examples are:

Chokes
Strangles
Arm bars
