The 'little girl' screaming was a bit much for me. That's what top outs are for.

Retired NYPD detective I know swears by the basic wrist lock from Hapkido training. If you know how to do it quickly, you can get someone to the ground pretty fast. If NYPD thinks it works well, I would imagine it would work well in full contact. It really doesn't get much more full contact than NYPD.

HOWEVER, this is really only half the battle for an MMA type. I would imagine that many of them would find a way to wiggle out to avoid being tapped. If you could transition from these techniques to some solid ground stuff, then I would be inclined to think that you have something really decent for both defense and MMA.
