Spinal lock

Hi there, a spinal lock is when someone grabs your body tightly and in a certain way that puts pressure on your spine (the long bone in your back). It's kind of like when you lock a door - it stops movement. People use spinal locks in martial arts to control and immobilize their opponents. It's important to only do spinal locks with proper training and safety precautions to make sure nobody gets hurt.
