The ancient Muay Thai 'break the bird's wing' technique is a defensive move that is applied when your opponent throws a punch or sticks their arm out towards you. First, you stop the attack with a block, then you grab hold of the arm to control or break. In many instances, don't expect to just break your opponent's arm from the get-go because there will be resistance once they feel that you are grabbing their arm. What you can do to offset the resistance is to strike some more during this transition or continue to control the arm until you apply a wrist lock or another finishing move.
NOTE: This is a self-defense move against an average aggressor with someone who overcommits their arm, giving you a chance to grab hold of it. In the event that your opponent pulls their arm back, then abandon the grab altogether and transition into a more appropriate response.
