A staple of action movies, video games, and martial arts anime/manga is a grappling match that ends almost instantaneously between the hero and the generic bad guy mook.
As soon as they engage wrestling each other,the first act the badass hero does is grab his much weaker foe by his wrist.
Within a second or two,hero applies such physical pressure on the grabbed bad's wrists that a loud snapping sound is made and the bad guy's wrists are literally broken that you literally witness the hand bending as though its been hit with a hammer and permanently deformed. Looking something like these hands in this pic.

The bad guys yells out loud and immediately falls on his knees and cowers before the hero or runs away for his life in terror.In the few cases its a tough son of a *****, the villain will no longer be able to continue using his hand that just got squeezed by the hero.
For added laughs,some action movies even shows an X-Ray special effect visual where they show the wrist area was literally cracked in half showing just how injured arm is.
In the case where both hero and villain are equally strong(or if one is weaker, he is at least comparable in strength to the other ),even one brief squeeze on the arm will hurt the victim immensely (even if it doesn't do any serious harm that affects the fight long term) that alters the grappling match and changes fight's direction.
The fact the victim didn't get his wrist broken after getting squeezed is often stated by bystanders in the movie watching the fight as proof to just how strong both opponents are even if the victim yelled immense pain.
In fact I notice storytellers use this "Squeeze the wrist" by the villains with the heroes screaming in pain as to how serious the new villain is and how at this point the upcoming battles in the plot will no longer be against untrained pathetic mooks.
Its gotten such a common way to display just how strong people are that I noticed irl when two people untrained in martial arts start grappling, the stronger one will often immediately grab the wrist area and squeeze it almost as though to show just how much stronger they are and inversely I seen some bodybuilding types intentionally let other people try to squeeze their own wrists to show off how stronger they are than their fellows in the gym.
I am curious in real life if you can simply break people's arm this way merely by grabbing their wrist area and squeezing brute strength without any technique or leverage or whatever?
I already seen too many people attempt to copy the movies in real life brawls or some people attempt to show of their strength by letting others squeeze their wrist area and in the former I have yet to see anyone get their wrists so broken that their hands are flipping down like they were shaped like weapons.
Even the bodybuilders I mentioned admitted that letting the weaklings in the gym such as the recent nerds who signed up so they can get buff and attract the ladies or so they can fight back at bullies admit that their own wrists were hurt afterwards.
So I am quite curious how squeezing the wrist area and how much it hurt if its an accurate indicator of physical strength?
Assuming it takes more than mere brute force to break someone's wrist and leave their hands hanging like in the movies and anime/manga, would it be quick and easy if you already know the proper techniques? Or is this like disarming a knife, a technique glamorized and exaggerated with flashiness that in reality is incredibly difficult to do and more dependent on "lucky opportunities" and quite rare even if executed properly by masters?
