That's true. I'm talking about the ones that actually put a joint at risk. Anything that simply immobilizes can be used fairly safely, but an arm bar is not among those. And in many self-defense arts, immobilizations are used less than destructions (which are practiced as pain compliance in the dojo).
all sorts of things are used in self defence martial arts that can't be trained live. and the result is this.
that to a certain point is fine. but the core of what you do can't be theoretical. so in general you do the break theoretically from the arm immobilization. which is trained honestly.
that becomes this idea of position before submission.
