Joint locks seem singularly focused. Armbars go after the elbow and ankle locks the ankle. However, success in joint locks depends more on control of the other two major joints in the limb under attack than the joint in danger. Arms and legs have three major joints and the principles you use to attack one generally apply to the other. So if you think of them both as a top, middle, and bottom joint extending from the torso, the possibilities of attack broaden quite a bit.
A quick guide of two thirds control: Elbow- top joint/ bottom joint Shoulder- middle joint/ bottom joint Wrist- top joint/ middle joint Knee- top joint/ bottom joint Hip- middle joint/ bottom joint Ankle- top joint/ middle joint
