The reviews

• Great stuff

  The double wrist lock is a major tool in my toolbox and one I use pretty regularly. This video is great as it’s shown me a load of new principles and tricks that will help massively

• Catch style

  Josh Barnett doesn’t just teach the double wristlock — he shows you why it’s the backbone of real catch wrestling. This video is championship-level knowledge straight from a heavyweight who actually finishes fights with this hold. What stood out immediately is how Barnett breaks down the position with zero fluff. He shows the exact mechanics: how to isolate the arm, how to peel the elbow away from the body, how to use shoulder pressure and hip angle to flatten an opponent, and how to transition from control → crank → finish without ever giving up top position. He teaches it the way real catch wrestlers apply it: no guard-pulling, no stalling, just brutal efficiency — pin threats, wrist control battles, and the constant threat of turning the lock into a shoulder, elbow, or rotational submission. The little details hit hard: head placement, hip pressure, and how to use your chest as a wedge while keeping your opponent belly-down. What I loved most is that Barnett shows the mentality behind the hook — you don’t chase the submission, you break your opponent down until the Kimura/double wristlock is unavoidable. It’s the old-school ****** philosophy, and you can tell Barnett is carrying the real lineage. If you’re a grappler who wants to build a top-heavy, pressure-based finish system — especially for catch wrestling — this video is a must-watch. It’s not theory, it’s not flashy, it’s the actual blueprint for breaking people down and making them quit. Easily one of the best double wristlock instructionals out there.

  I prefer instructionals that focus on a single technique from multiple positions. Josh does a great job of discussing how to get into positions and how to overcome some of the possible counters.

• Josh Barnett will make you a monster

  This video knits together concepts that will help you competently dominate the kimura and opens it up not as a submission in itself but a key element in controlling a body and unlocking the flow of body mechanics to find weaknesses to exploit at every step on the path as opposed to treating it as a final step. You will always have a response to moves if you apply these principles and stop being at a loss for words.
