== Technique ==

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 just the wrist may lead to the opponent being able to pull it free, while grabbing a couple of fingers, instead or along with the wrist, can greatly reinforce a defender's ability to hold on to a wrist lock completely through execution and control.

Small joint manipulation is an illegal technique in most combat sports that feature [[joint lock|joint locking]]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 "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 koppōjutsu techniques.
