It is my opinion that manipulation techniques (joint-locks, etc.) are less intuitive, take longer to learn, and require more effort to maintain than striking techniques.
+1 IMO, I agree holds or methods of restraint are generally advanced techniques. It is simpler to teach incapacitating moves i.e. breaking bones and dislocating joints. It all takes training & practice. I think that books & DVDs seem most helpful to those who have had some training from a real life instructor to build off of.
