Small joint manipulation refers to twisting, pulling or bending fingers or toes to cause joint locks in the various joints in those appendages. Joint locks on fingers and toes are respectively referred to as finger locks and toe locks.
Details:-
The leverage needed for such joint manipulation is comparatively small, since grabbing a finger or two with one or both hands creates a distinct advantage, and means that a weaker person can possibly control a stronger one. Grabbing only one finger may lead to the opponent being able to pull it free, while grabbing three or more reduces the leverage advantage considerably, and hence it is sometimes advised to grab two fingers for maximum effect.Small joint manipulation is an illegal technique in most combat sports that feature joint locking such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Mixed Martial Arts and Sambo, since unlike standard joint locks, there is less of an opportunity to “tap out” or submit before the small joint breaks. It is however sometimes taught as a self-defense and pain compliance technique, for instance in Chin Na, Aikido, Kenpo, Jujutsu, and especially in ‘Small Circle JuJitsu’. It is also an important part of koppo-techniques, e.g. in ninjutsu.

A headbutt is a strike with the head, typically involving the use of robust parts of the cranium as area of impact. Effective headbutting revolves around striking a sensitive area with a less sensitive area, such as striking the nose of an opponent with the forehead. It is known as a risky maneuver: a misplaced headbutt can cause more damage to the headbutter than the headbuttee.From French boter = “to push or strike”. Rams are well known for butting with their heads and horns. From this the terms battering ram and hydraulic ram are derived. Many males in various animal species employ butting during courtship.Headbutt Technique is quite popular in MMA and it was recently used by Brock Lesnar in his debut Match in UFC 81.

Eye-gouging is the act of pressing or tearing the eye using the fingers, other bodyparts, or instruments. Eye-gouging involves a very high risk of permanent eye injury, such as visual impairment.It is disallowed in combat sports, but some self-defense systems teach it. Training in eye-gouging can involve extensive grappling training to establish control, the eye-gouging itself being practiced with the opponent wearing eye protection such as swimming goggles.In films, characters are sometimes killed after suffering eye damage, although this is unlikely in the real world unless extensive bleeding or brain damage is caused (such as in the film, 28 Weeks Later).It is also popular in Mixed Martial Arts!
