Arm Bars and Weaves

At the Intermediate level, Quantum students begin learning standing grappling, closing the distance through entering and trapping range and making close contact with a partner. The exercises give the practitioner an entry point and lead to traps, locks, bars, and weaves of the arms and wrists with the goal of gaining control over one’s opponent.
