* This happens in ''[[Wheel of Time]]'' when a girl is grabbed by a Warder in a Crown of Swords.
* In ''[[Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?]]'' Deckard uses this on Luba Luft. When previously cornered by the bounty hunter, she outsmarted him and managed to hold him at laser point. However, once he puts his hand "laxly onto her upper arm" she ceases all struggle.
* In ''[[Tortall Universe|Lioness Rampant]]'', where the slender 5'4" Alanna is [[Weak but Skilled|skilled]] and [[Fragile Speedster|fast]], and rendered helpless once her arms are pinned by a larger man. On the other hand, once she gets free, beware. She will mess you up.
** On the other hand, in ''Squire'', Keladry just flexes her bicep, forcing the man to loosen his grip.
* Averted in the ''[[Discworld]]'' book ''[[Discworld/Feet of Clay|Feet of Clay]]'' when Angua, a female cop, is grabbed in this method and does nothing while she is inside the bar her fellow coppers are in. The reason why
* If you grab Lieutenant
* Averted in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' by [[Dark Action Girl|Asha Greyjoy]]. A [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|childhood friend]] who was enamored with her attempted to stop her from leaving him by using this method. She promptly puts a knife to his throat and drives him off.
* Played straight in the ''[[Belisarius Series]]'' with Princess Shakuntala, who in her introductory scene goes from being a miniature whirlwind of spear-fighting death to a helpless victim the instant one of her opponents manages to disarm her and get a solid grip on her arm. Justified in that she's extremely small even for a young woman (read: slightly under five feet and barely 90 lbs. soaking wet), and her opponent is a six-foot-plus muscular barbarian. Also in that he immediately follows up his arm grip by throwing her to the floor, then putting her in a wrestling hold.
