'''Small joint manipulation''', in [[grappling]], refers to twisting, pulling or bending [[finger]]s, [[toes]], [[wrists]] and [[ankles]] to cause [[joint lock]]s in the various [[joint]]s in those [[appendage]]s.
== Technique ==
Most small joint manipulation is done on the hands or feet to hyperextend joints as part of a pain compliance strategy. The basic techniques of small-joint manipulation involve grabbing and bending back one or more fingers/toes and by applying pressure to the wrist/ankle joints that disrupt the interconnectivity of the system of smaller joints within. If pain compliance does not work, such hyperextension can tear tendons in the wrist or break the smaller bones in the hands and feet. The [[lever]]age needed for such joint manipulation is comparatively small and creates a distinct advantage over techniques in martial arts that require the exertion of large amounts of force
Small joint manipulation is an illegal technique in most combat sports that feature [[joint lock]]ing such as [[Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu]], [[judo]], [[mixed martial arts]] and [[Sambo (martial art)|Sambo]], since unlike standard joint locks, there is less of an opportunity to submit before the small joint breaks.
