I digress:

Ever had an aikidoka say 'Grab my wrist' when he wants to demo some
twirling wristlock?

So I grabbed his wrist, hit him with the elbow hook (not too hard), 4ed
his arm and went for the kimura but HE LOCKED OUT trying to escape so I
took the armbar; put him on his knees and tapped him.

What?
