I figured most joint locks wouldn't work in armor. Maybe an americana or kimura?

Thanks for all the info, I have a lot on my plate right now but I'm interested for the future.

The melee recreates medieval tournament fighting where, essentially if you go down you may as well be dead hence the lack of much ground fighting. (Similar to an ancient battlefield where going down to the ground likely means death).

We do train limited ground grappling. But nothing as deep as something like bjj.
