The [[lever]]age needed for such joint manipulation is comparatively small, since grabbing a finger or two with one or both [[hands]] creates a distinct advantage. Joint manipulation can allow a weaker person with the right training to control a stronger one. Grabbing all the fingers may lead to the opponent being able to pull it free, while grabbing three or fewer reduces the leverage advantage considerably, and hence it is sometimes advised to grab one finger for maximum effect.
Small joint manipulation is an illegal technique in most combat sports that feature [[joint lock|joint locking]] 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 "tap out" or submit before the small joint breaks. It is however sometimes taught as a [[self-defense]] and [[grappling hold#Pain compliance hold|pain compliance]] technique, for instance in [[Hapkido]], [[Chin Na]], [[Kenpo]], [[jujutsu]], [[Krav Maga]], [[Vale Tudo]] and especially in '[[Small Circle JuJitsu]]'. It is also an important part of [[koppojutsu|koppo]]-techniques, e.g. in [[ninjutsu]].
