Well, never is incorrect, very rarely, yes.
But I woudl agree that a standing key lock, because it is going AGAINST the movement, is not the best one to go for in that situation.
I have always said that, in terms of percentage, you are what you train.
I am sure that if someone trained standing joint locks and drilled them consistently and test them consistently, they could pull them off at a higher rate than most.
Its common sense.
Do people that advocate standing joint locks do that?
The vast majority don't.
