It's just an anomaly in the rules, that although they say there's no shoulder locks they allow stuff that is quite obviously targeting the shoulder. I know a referee who trains and coaches at my club and he seems to think it's a bit of a joke.

You can get some trouble with omoplata or kimura if the ref has'nt seen it before, but most let it past. The keylock you'll always get away with round here as its on the kyu grade syllabus for the BJA. If actually had a lot more trouble with bicep crushes than shoulder locks.
