Would it be a safe assumption that all of us who replied to this thread have actually used joint locks against people in self defense?

I don't know how many others have, but I can offer that I have in more altercations than I care to remember. It gives you a unique insight into what works and what doesn't. I've found that the 'no-flash' and 'no frills' works the best in the vast majority of situations due to adrenaline and loss of manual dexterity under duress (read gross motor skills). The flashier something is, the higher % it won't work on a determined attacker/resister actively trying to defeat your actions.
