Dec 22, 2020 at 23:09 comment added DukeZhou @DaveLiepmann Effective for controlling an opponent's body, potentially submitting them, or simply breaking the fingers to diminish their capacity, and potentially end combat. (I've been put into wicked finger locks by chin-na experts who don't telegraph the move, or even distract you before grabbing the digits.)
Dec 22, 2020 at 23:07 comment added DukeZhou @JujutsuAddict388 Asking from the standpoint of self-defense/combat as opposed to sparring or sport fighting.
Dec 16, 2020 at 22:55 comment added JujutsuAddict388 In order to answer that question finger locks would first have to be legal to use in sparring. I don't know of any legitimate venues that allow them. Finger locks come on too fast to tap out in time so you'd just wind up with all your fighters nursing broken fingers.
