👉 The closure weapon, also known as the "closing grip" or "locking grip," is a defensive technique primarily used in mixed martial arts (MMA) and other combat sports. It involves wrapping the striking arm tightly around the opponent's torso, effectively immobilizing their body and preventing them from moving freely. By applying pressure to the opponent's midsection, the closure weapon disrupts their balance and mobility, making it difficult for them to counterattack or escape. This technique is particularly effective in ground fighting, where close-quarters combat is prevalent, as it can quickly neutralize an opponent's offensive capabilities and shift the balance of power in favor of the user.
