@TheF0etus you are likely an unskilled fool then if you dont think any of these techniques can be used when people dont co-operate. I train a simmilar style to this with almost the same locks, I once inquired about how well they work on people who resist. after being told to resist I went home with a what i suspected to be cracked rib and fractured forearm, and I KNEW what he was going to do and still couldnt react to it in time.
This martial art is not a sport and you would never see any videos on a real fight because, who video tapes real muggings? The recipient is very cooperative because he does not want to break any limbs. This style can be very nasty in street scenarios.
Confidence is so powerful. If someone tells me- "You're stupid- Whatever! If someone calls me ugly- Whatever! If you say: "I'll kick yer ass- Whatever!
As long as you don't put your hands on me, I have the confidence to deal with your ignorant ass. I'm cool baby!!
as a 1st dan in combat hapkido and a 2nd dan in TKD the combat part of it is that we have no rules or restrictions on where or what we can hit or lock unlike MMA where small joint manipulation is not allowed, in combat hapkido it's our (or at least my) favorite move. And i dont know about this school, but in mine we spar, punches to the head are allowed and so are kicks to the legs, we wear armor ao we dont get hurt but to get us use to hitting and being hit.
Its funny you say that Because just because in MMA you can't do something does not mean you have never learned it being that most MMA Specialize in different forms of Muay thai that are infact Battle Tested Like Muay Boran in my so really look into your facts just because you through some kicks in the air and grab each others wrist does not mean you know every thing.
I don't doubt that hapkido can be adapted to be effective, but the attacks you're working against don't really happen. If some grabs you they are going to stop there, they're grabbing you to pull you into a punch, throw or choke etc. As I've searched the tube to see how styles address this, I thinks only American Kenpo styles addressed this slightly, all of other did the same static attack and defenses, but no one fights or attacks that way on the street.
Where I live, the dojo near me that I learn combat hapkido at. And let me tell you, distracting is KEY. Use what you can, if you can get the technique executed. Chances are the opponent is going down.
Hapkido doesn't focus only on grappling attacks, in facts grappling are meant to be parts of a technique that may or may not start with a punch, kick, throw etc, never the less it will definitely end with the elimination of you enemy. This video shows differents techniques that may be used as one when fighting.
alot of the reason for that is that the whole idea, and infact the key to making these work is to do them in transition, BEFORE they grab you tightly. after that you pretty much have to hit em (distraction) first to make them work.
Two things I see wrong is that the American flag is backwards. When it is hung vertically, the Union is to be the top left, just like it is when hung horizontally. Secondly, it should be all the way to the left in order of precedence.
@BigOliBronco1 - Thanks for the feedback. I'm surprised about your first point, as this would mean I'm showing the back of the flag if hung vertically. I'll take your word for it.
The flags ARE hung in orcer of precendence. In the centre are our club flags, on the left is the Australian flag (I'm australian) and our last loyalty in this group is the USA.
@ozbudo The order should be: Australian flag, other nation's flags, oragnizational flags, then club flags. Bronco is right, the flags should be top to the left if hung vertically. Sorry to be nit-picky, but I've been in the US military for many years and those kind of things catch my eye. Great techniques, though! I have trained under Master David Rivas for 8 years and own a Combat Hapkido school in Washington State and will be testing for 4th Dan in April.
Another thing is....You have to get used to being hit and kicked and even thrown, at full force.
I'm no expert Lol, but in my years as a bouncer, public safety officer, and living in rough-ass 'hoods, plus being attacked at least 12 different times, I can honestly say my friend, that if one isn't trained against someone who is trying to hurt you or at least beat you up in a dojo, then no one will be prepared for the real thing!
Very nice technique. However, I'd like to see your ukei showing a little more realism with his grabs in the beginning. Someone who grabs your wrist is either planning to drag you somewhere, or is winding up for a punch. It's your second dan, so you should be focusing more on perfecting your technique to be better suited for a "real world" environment. Just my opinion, anyway.
Anubite: I think you really nailed this one. I get so tired of "this style is better than that style" b.s. It's getting old!
any "style" or art that teaches you realistic fighting skills and incorporates "full contact" is good (gung fu, tkd,etc).'
In order to be truly "street effective", you have to be trained to fight someone who is really trying to hurt you!! Because if you don't you're going to receive something named: "A wake up call", and it'll be too late!!!
Ah well, I don't know about "realistic fighting skills" that's a bit hard to quantify. If you are learning a martial art to defend yourself, your ukei should strive to be as realistic acting as possible (without injuring you seriously). A second dan in some more... "traditional" martial art might strive to make no unnecessary movement, but if you're defending yourself, you have many things you need to perfect and refine, not just form or technique memorization.
What I mean by "realsitic" is someone who's really trying to hurt you. I feel you regarding "safety", but if safety is given a premium over agressiveness, I feel you lose something.
I used to box, and the reason why boxers and wrestlers are so dangerous in a self defense is because they train, the way they fight....No pulled punches-but full contact. You can't be light contact in the dojo, and when confronted "turn on the heat" and go full force- I'm sorry but you can't!
I totally disagree with you on this one Brad, and here's why:
Boxers train, the exact way that they fight, and their bodies are conditioned to take punishment. From my experience as a former fighter/ bouncer, I can honestly say that THE most important variable is being able to control your adrenaline rush.
Boxing is THE most underrated self defense system known to man my brother. If you can control your adrenaline response in the ring, then you can do it on the sidewalk as well.
sure they can fight. nobody is denying that. but they simply don't practice self defense. you have a good point about the adrenaline rush however. give me a knife and ill fight any boxer on the planet. it's more of a scenario and mindset thing for me. not everything is 2 guys squaring off with each other.
Ok. You are basically right about Boxing. It is mainly a sport ; That is true. However, Boxing entails stamina, conditioning, defense & offense. It develops the ability to take a punch, and so forth.
You are dead-on about knife fighting. I don't care how much martial arts sensei's talk aboout knife defense, the greatest marital artist WILL get cut, so I also agree with you on that point.......Kudos my friend!
you make some good points as well. but alot of other arts encorporate those things as well. not all TMA are mcdojo's (too many for my taste but still) alot of people take me the wrong way, maybe it's how i present it, but i mean no offense to mma, bjj, boxing etc...they just simply spend most of their time studying and perfecting their sport rather than working self defense material. unfortunately the opposite is true as well, some people spend all their time with SD and little contact.
I've just started Judo training (white belt), and we have two types of Judo classes here at Denver Judo
. We have, for lack of better word a "tournament-oriented" Judo class in the evenings, and we have a "Street Judo" class taught by a Denver police officer, and it is AWESOME!
I know you mean well, it's just that too many martial artists are stubborn and believe everything that Mr Sensei says regardless of whether it holds water or not. Lol Lol.
can't argue with that. then again, most of em are beginners who don't know better. which is why i usually recommend to people (if they want self defense) to go train with a cop. they handle violence regularly and can teach you alot of stuff that has nothing to do with fighting. avoidance, psychology...etc. as well as what really works. and they know how somone will really attack you.
Agreed. In fact, our police officer (who is a really cool guy), has even taught us "Verbal Judo", which is how to de-escalate a potentially volatile situation, with verbal skills.
He teaches us stuff like: "the muggers mindset", "How criminals pick victims", "How to deal with bullies, and a whole array of non-fighting tips that are so useful.
I'm beginning to see that being a martial artist is more than kicking ass and taking names, but is a way of life. Am I making sense?
they also go into the whole...you can't keep attacking the guy once he's on the ground issue lol...its a good way to land in jail or prison. ALOT of schools dont recognize that. how many instructors have you see teach their students to disarm someone then stab them? in most states that would make you the attacker, not the victim at that point. you are making alot of sense.
I'm from California, and now live in Colorado, but I believe that every state has a law based on the prinicpal of "using only enough force to repel the attack".
In other words, if we put someone down, and it's obvious that they can't continue, then we are breaking the law by stomping or kicking them, when we can easily flee the scene.
in some instances you're absolutely right, however in some instances what the art teaches does matter as well. working againt 1 person is one thing, squaring off with someone that is. getting stabbed while you're down is quite another. going to jail because you disarmed someone is yet another.
EXACTLY!! I think the greatest statement ever made about "the best style", is Enter The Dragon, when Bruce Lee said something to the effect of: "Fighting without ever having to fight".
Martial arts have given me so much confidence, that I don't have an ego- Ergo, no need to defend my honor. It's not necessary!
Your technique is VERY impressive. I have been studying Combat Hapkido for less than a year and can't imagine getting to the point where you are. Kudos!
