Lock Flows
I don't know if the Lock Flows described here are original Parker information,
but they are handy and work quite well.  All the Kenpo schools I know of in
this area teach this information.
If you are facing an obviously stronger opponent, it would be wise to "loosen
them up" prior to entering into the Lock Flows.  To accomplish this, simply
prefix your initial move with a quick kick to the groin.  If you practice this
with someone, you'll notice that even a slower kick (even just jerking your
knee up) with provide the desired effect...no one likes to be kicked
there and 99% of all men (I'm male, I can't speak for women) will
bend over somewhat and relax their hands.  I say only 99% because there has to
be someone stupid enough to not care...
Lock Flow A
    
Defense against a right cross wrist grab
    
        - Pin attackers right hand with your left hand and roll attackers
            arm clockwise away from you while stepping forward with your left
            foot to 12:00 as you counter grab attackers right wrist with your
            right hand and your left elbow connects with attackers right
            elbow.  As you plant into your stance, push your left elbow down
            and pull up with your right hand (like a fulcrum), bending
            attackers elbow the wrong way.  Don't bend over at the waist.
            Bend your knees to sink when necessary.
        
 - As you continue holding attackers right wrist with your right hand,
            step back with your left foot to 7:30 while running your left hand
            from attackers elbow down to their hand (to continue pressure on
            their arm). Hold attackers hand backwards with your thumbs on the
            back of their hand and your fingers on their palm.  Press forward,
            bending their hand into their forearm.
        
 - Grab attackers elbow with your left hand and pull their elbow up
            while rotating your right hand slightly so that your palm is on
            the back of attackers hand.  Attackers elbow is now bent at 90
            degrees, as is their wrist.
        
 - Twist attackers hand to the right (to cause pain) then rotate
            attackers arm counter clockwise (attackers elbow circles down and
            their hand circles up). Move attackers elbow into your shoulder
            as you maintain your right hand grab on the back of attackers hand
            and reach your left hand through their arm to grab your right arm.
        
 - Step to 12:00 with your left foot, walk attacker backwards slightly
            to get them off balance then kick attackers right leg out with your
            right leg. Follow them down with a right knee to their ribs and a
            left knee to their face.
    
 
Lock Flow B
    
Defense against a right cross wrist grab
    
        - Pin attackers right hand with your left hand and roll attackers
            arm clockwise away from you while stepping forward with your left
            foot to 12:00 as you counter grab attackers right wrist with your
            right hand and your left elbow connects with attackers right
            elbow.  As you plant into your stance, push your left elbow down
            and pull up with your right hand (like a fulcrum), bending
            attackers elbow the wrong way.  Don't bend over at the waist.
            Bend your knees to sink when necessary.
        
 - As you continue holding attackers right wrist with your right hand,
            step back with your left foot to 7:30 while running your left hand
            from attackers elbow down to their hand (to continue pressure on
            their arm). Hook your left thumb onto attackers thumb and grab
            just above attackers wrist with your left fingers as you release
            your right hand from their hand.
        
 - Step forward to 12:00 with your left foot, grabbing the inside of
            attackers elbow with your right hand and pulling it into your
            shoulder and squeeze attackers hand.
        
 - From here, we can either:
            
                - Kick attacker right leg forward with your left foot.
                
 - Kick back of attackers right knee with your left foot to drop them.
        
 
     
Sword Drop
    
Defense against a right cross wrist grab
    
        - Pin attackers right hand with your left hand.
        
 - Rotate your right hand in a clockwise fashion so that you end
            up looking at the palm of your hand.
        
 - While pushing attackers arm slightly towards them (so their elbow
            and wrist are bent at a 90 degree angle), continue movement of
            right hand over the top of their wrist in 'sword' style pressing
            down hard just above the bone on the side of the wrist.  Continue
            holding their right hand with your left hand.
            
            At this point, the 90 degree angle at the attackers elbow and
            wrist combined with the pressure on the their wrist from your
            hand will cause extreme pain and drop them to their knees.
    
 
Straight Talon
    
Defense against a left straight wrist grab
    
        - Pin attackers right hand with your right hand.
        
 - With your left hand, grab up onto attackers wrist and rotate their
            arm clockwise while stepping forward with your left foot to 12:00
            as your left elbow connects with attackers right elbow.  As you
            plant into your stance, push your left elbow down and pull up with
            your right hand, bending attackers elbow the wrong way. From here
            you can go into Lock Flow A or B or into
            Crossing Talons.
    
 
A Multi Point Lock Flow
    Attacker grabs your right wrist with their right hand.
    - Crossing Talon
        Counter grab attackers wrist with your right hand, rolling attackers
        arm to the right as you step to 1:30 with your left foot and press down
        on attackers elbow with your left hand.
     - Figure 4
        As you step to 10:30 (V-in/V-out) with your left foot, snake your left
        hand under attackers elbow, fold attackers arm up with your right hand
        while maintaining the wrist lock.  The outside of your left hand will
        be pressing against the outside of attackers hand while your right
        hand keep their wrist bent. Step through with your right foot to keep
        attacker off balance.
     - Lever
        While continuing to lock attackers wrist with your right hand, step
        back with your right foot, then to 1:30 with your left foot (V-in and
        V-out) as you straighten attackers arm and press down on attackers
        elbow with your left hand.
     - Wrist Lock
        While continuing to lock attackers wrist with your right hand, grab
        attackers elbow with your left hand and fold attackers arm up with
        your right hand, guiding their elbow in between your forearm and
        bicep and squeeze your arm shut.  Raise your right elbow up to keep
        the lock strong and step through with your right foot to keep attacker
        off balance.
     - Elbow Break
        As you step back to 7:30 with your right foot, unfold attackers arm,
        maintaining the wrist lock with your right hand, and snake your left
        arm inside their elbow, around and onto their shoulder (clearing the
        arm to your left in the process).  Grab attackers elbow with your right
        hand and pull down with both hands to break the elbow.
     - Cobra Lock
        Maintain pressure on attackers elbow with your right hand as you slide
        your left hand down attackers arm and lock their wrist (your hand on
        the back of attackers hand).  Fold attackers arm (Circling their hand
        down, forward and up in front of you) so that your left hand is
        locking their wrist in front of you and their forearm is against your
        chest.
     - Bulldog
        Unfold attackers arm down and backwards, maintaining the lock on their
        wrist with your left hand.  Raise their hand up as you grab the back of
        their neck with your right hand, pressing down.
     - Wrap Around Choke
        Slide your right hand back onto attackers elbow and fold attackers arm
        up again.  Replace your left hand wrist lock with your right hand as
        you step behind attacker.  Pull attackers bent wrist towards them as
        you grab their elbow with your left hand to help force their wrist
        into their throat.
 
The 12 Point Lock Flow #1
    - As attacher reaches out to push you, your left hand grabs attackers 
        hand (fingers on palm & thumb on back of hand).  Turn attackers hand
        counter clockwise and press your right hand sword toward between 
        attackers ring and little finger to increase the pressure.
    
 - While maintaining grip on thumb, left hand turns clockwise as right
        hand reaches over left and grabs ring and pinky finger of attackers
        hand.  Slightly adjust your left hand to grasp attackers thumb.  While 
        stepping back with your right foot, push forward with your hands, 
        applying the necessary pressure to bend attacker over.  Never lose 
        contact with attackers hand.
    
 - Continue the pressure with your left hand as your right hand pops 
        attackers elbow up and guides it into your left armpit (the classic
        "come along" lock).
    
 - While continuting to apply pressure with your left hand on attackers
        wrist, allow attackers elbow to move slightly away from your and grab
        it with your right hand and rotate attackers arm clockwise so that their
        elbow aims to the ceiling and their hand to the floor.  Apply pressure
        both at the elbow and hand.  You now have 2 90 angles (at elbow and 
        wrist).
    
 - Tuck attackers elbow abck into your armpit (or chest) as your right 
        hand releases and moves to attackers hand.  While still applying 
        pressure with your left hand, grab attakcers ring and pinky fingers
        with your right hand.  As your left hand relaxes the pressure, the 
        right hand snaps attackers fingers backwards toward their forearm.
        You now step to the front of attacker with your right foot as your left
        hand squeezes on the nerve between the forearm muscles of attackers 
        arm.
    
 - In one fluid motion, your right hand moves from attackers fingers to 
        grabbing attackers wrist (do not let go) and pulls towards you as 
        you step into attacker with your left foot, having your left forearm 
        presses inward and downward on attackers elbow (Crossing Talons).
    
 - While maintaining pressure with left arm, and stepping back to 8:00,
        snake your left hand under attackers forearm, grasping onto your right 
        wrist while your right hand move to the back of attackers hand.  Fold
        attackers arm into a figure 4, keeping them close.
    
 - Step out with your left foot so that you are standing at the side of
        the attacker as right arm pulls attackers arm across your upper chest 
        and your left arm slides under attackers arm and across their
        chest (this will hyper extend their elbow).
    
 - Slide your left leg back into transitional 90 cat stance as your left 
        arm comes back toward you and slides on top of attackers arm and 
        across their neck (this will hyper extend their elbow).
    
 - Bring your left hand (thumb down) to attackers wrist and grab, bending 
        their elbow until their hand is at neck level (their fingers point 
        toward their face). Tuck attackers elbow into your right shoulder as
        your right hand snakes under and through and grabs their wrist in a
        reverse "come along".
    
 - Turn your body (in place) towards the right while tucking attackers 
        hand into your left armpit (as right hand releases) and bring your 
        left hand under attackers arm, grasping their elbow into another form 
        of "come along".
    
 - As your left hand releases attackers elbow, your right hand grabs it
        and your left hand slides up to attackers hand.  Move your right hand 
        up and left hand down to take attacker down.
 
The 12 Point Lock Flow #2
    - Left arm sweeps attackers right arm as your left arm snakes between
        their arm and body (from the front), grabbing onto their right
        shoulder (attackers arm is now on your upper arm).  This will bend
        attacker over with you at their side.
    
 - Grab attackers right wrist with your right hand as your snake your
        left hand out (maintaining contact with attackers arm) and behind;
        getting between attackers arm and body (from the back) and hook your
        hand onto attackers neck as you twist attackers right hand clockwise.
    
 - Maintaining the grab and pressure on attackers wrist, remove your left
        hand from attackers neck, placing it on the outside of attackers elbow,
        pushing their arm towards their head as you wrap your right arm (still
        holding attackers wrist) around attackers head so that your right
        forearm is against the left side of their neck (your right arm holding
        attackers right arm are now looped across the back of attackers neck).
        Continue by sliding your left arm under your arm and attackers arm
        (from attackers back to their front) to get into a Sleeper hold and
        squeeze your two arms together.
    
 - Slide your left arm out and onto attackers right elbow and, as you pull
        down with your right arm on attackers wrist, push back on their elbow
        to tear the tricep muscle.
    
 - Cross in front of attacker with your left foot so that your back is to
        them as you grab attackers right wrist with both hands, bringing their
        arm down over your left shoulder against your chest as you sink.  Now
        rise while continuing to hold attackers arm tightly to hyperextend
        their elbow.
    
 - Move both hands slightly down to attackers hand (rather than wrist),
        step back and around with your left foot so you are facing attacker
        and use your hands to twist their wrist clockwise (wringing the rag).
    
 - Release your left hand and use it to straighten out attackers arm.
        Pull the arm in front of you and onto your thighs (with attackers
        elbow facing you) as you squat down and lean your stomach over their
        arm to break the elbow.
    
 - Place your right hand on the back of attackers wrist, bending it up,
        then rise up, placing your left hand in the crook of their elbow. Keep
        applying pressure to attackers hand and bring their elbow into your
        chest (with their forearm straight out from your chest and their hand
        bent to the left or right), using your chest as leverage to break
        their wrist.
    
 - Step back and pin attackers hand (palm in) onto your chest with your
        left hand as your right hand snakes over their arm, between their
        arm and body, grabbing onto their chest.
    
 - Continue the left handed pin and you remove your right arm and have
        your right hand grab attackers tricep, rolling their arm towards you
        as you slide in, placing their forearm on your shoulder and both hands
        on their elbow.  Sink and pull in with your arms to break the elbow.
    
 - While continuing to maintain pressure with your left arm, step into
        attacker with your right foot and wrap your right arm around their
        head so that your lower right forearm is on the left side of attackers
        neck (juggular vein).  Now release your left hand and press the outside
        of your left forearm onto the right side of attackers neck to choke
        them (kind of a bent over Sleeper hold).
    
 - While continuing the pressure on attackers neck, step back with your
        left foot and turn counter clockwise so that your back is to attacker,
        sink a little and flip them over your right shoulder.
 
The 12 Point Lock Flow #3
    - Grab attackers right hand with your right hand, rotate it to the left
        (counter clockwise) and up as you bend their hand at the wrist and set
        the back of attackers hand on your left bicep (their arm is now bent
        at 90 degrees with their elbow up in the air) and wrap your left hand
        onto their tricep.  Squeeze.
    
 - With your left hand still holding at attackers tricep, remove attackers
        hand from your bicep with your right hand and slide it directly to your
        chest.  Their arm is still bent (elbow up) at 90 degrees, their palm
        is on your chest, fingers pointing down.  Reach under attackers arm
        with your left hand, grab onto the outside of their hand (including
        their ring and little finger) and twist it to the left (but keeping
        the hand on your chest).  This is a variation of move 6 of the 2nd
        lock flow, wringing the rag.
    
 - Continue the pressure with your left hand as your right hand holds and
        guides their elbow into your shoulder.  As the elbow is moved into
        your shoulder, bring attackers hand off your chest, continuing to pull
        back on their fingers.  This is a variation of the come along.
        You can then switch hands so your right hand is applying pressure to
        the fingers and your left hand moves on top of attackers forearm to
        apply pressure down.
    
 - Grab attackers right hand with both of your hands (fingers on the back
        of their hand, thumbs on the palm) as you step back with your left foot
        bending attackers hand in and up.
    
 - Adjust your hands so that they each grab one of attackers fingers and
        pull out on their fingers as you continue to bend attackers hand in and
        up.
    
 - While maintaining the grab and pressure with your left hand, move your
        right hand up to hold their forearm.  Now hook attackers thumb with
        the thumb of your left hand as your left hand grabs onto their wrist
        and your right hand guides their elbow into your shoulder.
    
 - Release attackers hand with your left hand and shoot your right hand
        under their arm into a heel palm to the side of their head and hook onto
        their neck (half nelson).
    
 - Step around attackers back with your left foot and bring your left hand
        under attackers left arm, hooking onto the back of attackers head (full
        nelson).  Keep your hands on their head rather than their neck to get
        the maximum pressure forward.
    
 - Release your left hand, bring it out (on top of attackers arm), wrap
        your arm across attackers throat (have your left hand hook onto your
        right forearm to complete the lock) and press attackers head forward
        with your right hand as you squeeze with your left arm to choke them.
    
 - As you relax your choke, step back with your left foot, pulling attacker
        straight back.  Wrap your right arm around their head (their face will
        be in your armpit and your forearm against the back of their head). Now
        liftup with your right arm to apply pressure to the back of attackers
        head.
    
 - With your left hand, pull attacker to the left (face down) and push
        their head between your legs, locking your knees around their head.
        Grab both their arms (one in each of your arms) and pull their arms
        together and toward you so their shoulders are strained.
    
 - Slide your hands up, grabbing onto attackers wrists and press the back
        of attackers hand with your thumbs while continuing to pull in and
        towards you, step back and drive their head into the ground.
 
Silat Style Grappling
This information came from two different seminars (one on grappling and one
on groundwork) put on by my original instructor.  He was quite good about
introducing us to other styles through seminars and the occasional demo in
class.
General Grappling Information
    Pinches
        When you are stuck in tight, pinch attackers pecs, biceps, lats,
            thighs, or poke to underside of jaw or nerve in collar bone.
    Armbar headlocks
        
Use the forearm bone on the inside of the wrist against attackers
            mastoid, jugular or temple. Very important to use forearm bone on
            those spots to guarantee pain. You can use an armbar on the calf
            muscle as well.
Entry 1 (Silat - left jab)
    
        - Right foot steps to 1:00 while doing right inward parry into left
            outward extended block.
        
 - Torque into right neutral bow (right knee checks attackers left leg, left hand
            grabs attackers left arm) while doing right inward elbow to ribs
            into right uppercut to chin and grab back of attackers head (left
            side - hand between head and left arm).
        
 - Pull down and to right with right hand while pulling attackers
            left arm up, spinning attacker around.
        
 - Knee shot to attackers head or back as they begin spinning.
        
From here we can:
        
            - Continue pressure down on head, dropping them to ground and
                landing with them, right arm still around neck.
            
 - Fold their right arm over their face, left hand grabs my right
                hand (attacker in headlock now) and squeeze.
        
 
        or
        
            - Drop down onto right knee as they spin, keeping right arm
                gripping head, left arm on wrist.
            
 - Pull head to right while breaking attackers left arm over my
                left knee.
        
 
        or
        
            - Continue down onto my back with attacker on me, keeping my
                legs free.
            
 - Roll slightly to the right to keep pressure on attackers left
                elbow and continue pulling attackers head to right.
            
 - Strike hips, groin and/or inside of thighs with my heels.
        
 
     
Entry 2 (Silat - left jab)
    
        - Right foot steps to 1:00 while doing right inward parry into left
            outward extended block
        
 - Torque into right neutral bow (right knee checks attackers left leg and left
            hand grabs attackers left arm) while doing right inward elbow to
            ribs.
        
 - Right arm pushes attackers left arm to the right while stepping
            inside attackers left leg with my right leg (still checking but
            with outside of leg).
        
 - Right arm shoots up past attackers head then drive elbow down into
            collar bone to drop attacker.
    
 
Entry 3 (Silat - left jab)
    
        - Right foot steps to 1:00 while doing right inward parry.
        
 - Left hand grabs attackers left wrist, pulls arm over my head
            (rotate attackers wrist to get elbow on back of my neck) while
            doing right knee to attackers left thigh
        
 - Right arm shoots past attackers face, punching in jaw
        
From here we can:
        
            - Right back elbow to nerve in upper pec (compacting the mass)
                to drop attacker backwards while pulling down with left hand
                to break elbow.
        
 
        or
        
            - Right down elbow from sternum to solar plexus
        
 
     
Entry 4 (Silat - left jab)
    
        - Right foot steps to 1:00 while doing right inward parry and
            sinking to avoid punch. Left hand/arm checks low kick.
        
 - Left forearm into joint by thigh/groin while right hand grabs
            ankle. Push with left arm, pull with right to take attacker
            down.
        
From here we can:
        
            - Stay in inside (between legs)
            
 - Left heel kick to groin, left arm checks attackers right leg.
            
 - Left leg over body to outside, sit just above attackers knee

            instantly checks cross punch.
        
 - If cross is in tight to attackers head, left hand claws across
            attackers face to left side of attackers neck while doing right
            arch kick to attackers left knee. Elbow jams down onto collarbone.
        
 - If cross hand is out (neck open), left arm shoots past right side
            of attackers neck while doing right arch kick to attackers left
            knee. Elbow jams down onto collarbone.

                ankle. Push with right arm, pull with left to take attacker
                down. Follow-up of choice.
        
 
        or

            them out of the way.

            in to spin attacker and send them to the ground. Can also jump
            slightly and pull down to make reaction quicker.

            and block hand) and lands checking attackers forward knee.
        
 - Left hand hooks punching arm at wrist as right hand hooks punching
            arm just above elbow (compacting the mass to power the break)
        
 - Right hand comes out as left hand slides up to grab shoulder (arm
            still locked) bending attacker down to the ground.
