Well some ways I have thought about after making them effective while training are eg...
Let them strike out and as it hits its full extension I hit the wrist with my arm to cause them to tighten/loosen up and wrap my wrist around theirs then I can grab the hand and snap it back or twist or so on to many variations depending on position and situation... and this can be done very effectively to both of their wrists/hands and can also frustrate the hell out of someone who uses just "punching" hehehe... and once you have control then you can determine how much pain they will go through and even detain them or to the point of breakage but heck you would have to really "hate" someone to go that far, it also proves effective to open their legs. one I found funny to do was a light but quick kick to the top of their foot then force down hard for a moment and usually their reaction is to move it and they lose balance for a second and while that happens I "swing" myself under/around their detained arm and lock my leg onto either of theirs so enabling me to throw them to the ground and finish them off...
One good way I have found to practise my "wrist work" is just to train with a friend who does not do martial arts, one in particular likes the 'idea' of doing the 'arts' but is to lazy to get in and work out properlly so I encourage him by giving him little friendly taunts over a few days to build up his frustration toward me a bit then ask if he wants to put on the gear with me and have a bit of a work out to which he says "Yeh!" and grins (sometimes he has had some drinks and is feeling liquid courage rushing heh but not drunk...), quite funny and good fun but I never push our friendship hehe I just keep him on his toes and I see improvements in him over time of which he starts to notice himself and tell me about hehe... The emotion can be a very effective weapon and training tool if controlled like everything else
