Aikido Basics: Wrist Lock Twist : Aikido Sankyo Front Choke Defense

[georgemfr]

Aikido is actually very effective. I've studied both Aikido and Jiu-Jitsu. I don't mean to insult anyone, but I have observed that the people who bash or hate on either art have little knowledge of the art they are hating on.

Aikido and Jiu-jitsu have a lot in common.

Jiu-jitsu is extremely effective especially in one on one scenarios. And it is more suited for this purpose. Such as grappling competitions or MMA. The art also allows you to spar full throttle with minimum risk of injury.-

[georgemfr]

-, leverage, discipline, focus, are all the same and essential to both arts. No one art is supreme. Different scenarios call for different techniques.

Aikido and Jiu-jitsu are DIFFERENT. One doesn't have to be better than the other. This goes for all martial arts. It's usually the practitioner, and not the art itself that spells the difference.

[nupeswv]

@regless I understand what your saying. I certainly wouldn't go so far as to say this training is totally useless, since every extra tool in a bag of tricks can prove effective in the right circumstances. With the exception of torn ligaments and loose arm sockets, it is difficult to train in a more real life situation with these techniques. This is what makes Jujitsu so effective, its one of the few MA disciplines that you can practice with full force up to the point of someone tapping out.

[sammygmartin]

what a load of crap!

[IncreaseProduction]

Aikido is BOSS

[chezzylee]

leaving his right sideopen for a left hook from the attacker, KO, nice one.... not!

[nupeswv]

one issue with all these types of training is that it relies on the opponent doing exactly what you expect them to do...and they never do. Grab his hand and turn..what if he makes a fist instead of leaving his hand open for you to grab it. Why is the guys other hand dangling useless in all these aikido shows...in real life that other hand is doing a whopping on your stupid aikido head.

[Regless]

@nupeswv The reason that the other guy is dangling uselessly is because this is a demonstration. Practical Akido a move like that takes less than a second and the movements are more dynamic. Even if you step forward your still off balance and your free arm can't get much leverage. You are right that this technique only works with specific grapples. That is why Akido has more than one bloody technique. A good fighter of ANY dicipline can learn to read an opponents moves and react.

[Regless]

@nupeswv One more thing I wanted to add. When you feel your arm getting locked up natural instinct is try and worm it free, you usually open your hand to do that on impulse. Some fighters don't either because of training or they know what's coming. I box, I keep my fists balled religiously, but they have ways to get me anyway.

[Bladevampirek]

This is fantastic i love how the guy is easy with his practise partner and don't put Extreme pressure on him but releases right when his opponent taps out.

i've seen some really abusive stuff in hapkido where they hold the lock for 5-6 times and really hurt the other guy this is how it should be just enough pressure to get the techneiq done and then leaveyour partner alone this way u can practise longer without being so sore as well.

too bad our cops use these type of martial arts for their masters to get rich and not for the good of the people to defend against psychopath people. but than again there would not be a need for cops, bad or good ones, well maybe good ones, but overall the cop fascist infested with bad evil ones..

[MegaFalourmama]

really cool.



[chebf123]

i watched some of the other ma's using wristlocks. so far akido's the best at getting it there the smoothest.

the others are really forcing it or using speed. what's up?

[drumgroovy]

@chebf123 It's all about the physics of using your own or your opponent's body momentum to work in your favour. Aikido is more fluid in motion, almost has no snapping motion. Also I feel that the spirituality of the martial art is important because if you are high on adrenaline or are just plain angry, it messes up the fluid movements because those things make you react in a knee jerk response.

[ilikemyskin]

lol nice and snug then proceed softly breaking his wrist

[spicneo]

I just tried this on my girl and she shit on herself :(

[boris999222666]

no atemi so its strength vs strength nuff said .........

[kohji112]

I looked this up just to troll lmao...ok first of all your an IDIOT for letting someone even get that close to you and choke you, you can either lift both arms to spread his arms, grab the collar of his shirt and t-off on his face with your fist's. or you could kick forward to push him off you. but idk why you would get someone so pissed they would wana choke you so your fault if you get hurt lmao

[appraiserjv]

@kohji112 what if they guy is much stronger than you. tee off or kick him all you want, he's not going anywhere. attack an anotomical weakness and down he goes. No one is stronger than physics

[kohji112]

@appraiserjv stregnth does help alot but the main thing is technique. stregnth helps with technique like a bonus but its not as important as skills

[appraiserjv]

@kohji112 strength is there for when you fudge the teqnique.

[NothingAtAllXD]

@mfikrymd lol naturally your hands go to your neckcto resist a choke especially If he's 4x stronger than you. You also are using Your whole body to turn when you move in for the sankyo. It is more effective ad natural, therefore more reliable.

[Spartacus217]

Sankyo. You're welcome.

[quickfingers66]

things like this can take some amount of practice dont expect to get how o do it just from watching it.. in a street fight it would be much smarter just to grab both of his wrists pulling downward to break the chock and just a simple powerful kick to the groin works much better not to mention a lot harder to mess up =]

[wildbill6976]

@quickfingers66 once you grab his hand, step left, turn your body in, then press his elbow with your left arm (like you're gonna elbow smash). Simpler, and just as effective. You can either break his arm, or crack him in the side of the face with your elbow.

[mfikrymd]

this is a very good tutorial video. but the attacker defense is clearly open, his hands are fix to your neck, why not give a hook to the temporal or his neck, and a kick to the solar and once the choke loosen, step forward with an upward slice elbow to the mandible. thats a simple knock out. done it once. it worked.

[whiskeyify]

this stuff is just so painful,, You have to go down to the ground, resist and you get your wrist broken, either way you are a screwed duck. I used to practice Hapkido, it's very much like this art.

[NewZealfighter]

If you turned the wrist counter clock wise you would be spinning him backwards and he would be tapping out quickly

[newtubetubetube]

@NewZealfighter He talk of defense application. There is no such thing as 'taping out', go back to your MMA fagotry.

The point is to stop the aggression and immobilize him to the ground. It is not about wining or breaking his wrist. Fuck off!

[1tnbuckeye]

Good show, but again he's going past one technique to get to another. He doesn't have to go anywhere once the wrist is bent and the elbow is bent. Just go down and a lock is there. Ikkyo I believe. I've learned it as 'downward wrist lock'. Hurts like a son of a gun. The break is available if you want to use it, like just about any wrist lock.

[appraiserjv]

@1tnbuckeye At my dojo we call it a reverse sankyo but yes, it does look like an upside down ikkyo

[kensei1984]

You know, it would be better if the technique in it's entirety was demonstrated first against an attack with an intention to hurt you. Just a thought.

And I think that it's bad technique to reach underneath in between both arms, if he converts to a bent arm strangle or collar hold you're stuffed.

[appraiserjv]

@kensei1984 I would prefer to reach over and trap the other arm so as to leave him without a weapon, then continue to a reverse sankyo so that i dont have to worry about fumbling the switch of hands.

[YLoPlatano]

where is this school dammit i want to join

[NewZealfighter]

Lucky for you Aikido in Popular enough in every country and almost every large city

[D4rkG0ku]

@YLoPlatano you telling me i'm lookin for a good aikido school in greece and all i can say these vids are more useful than the lessons i take

[jackregalado]

This stuff is good basis. A very good place to start. Thanks a bunch. FlyinZX10R has its concept. Great basic moves.

[shihonage]

One should start with a strike, with say, right arm, to attacker's face, expanding inside his grasp so he can't reach your face with his left, while the left foot steps back. The step back takes the slack out, loosens the attacker's right grip, prevents him from punching, and increases the chances of capturing the wrist as defender's right hand grabs it.

This video lacks the strike, footwork, and connection.

[saintbhoy]

You know where you attackers hands are, why not grab them and kick the mutha in the balls??? It may not be graceful, but is certainly effective!

[NewZealfighter]

Remember most men naturely protect their balls on a subconcsience level unlike the movies when men are clueless to protect their balls

[hbsondeen]

this is pussy stuff jiu-jitsu is what I take and its way better

[Drogmir]

Good how to video.

[Hasselhoff123456]

He's not chokin, he's just touching his shoulders. No movement, no force, no nothing. Fist to face or throat would be easier, more logical and at least more effective in self defence, especially for women!!

[goran1900]

very good practic

[narutofreak91]

in aikido your supposed to end it with words before you even need to preform wrist locks and for ppl below who don't understand aikido is not meant to harm the person your defending against the reason for this complex move is that it doesn't hurt them if done right

[AznChuckNorris]

okay...wow...i'd rather just get his ribs extended out and then break a couple of them at 00:32 rather than gettin that stupid lock..

[VietTick]

Instead of throwing him to the ground, you can use your inside hand ( From after you twist your body ) and hit is ribs or his chest or whatever you think would take him down...

[chrisinsocalif]

I take Filipino slap fighting. It's pretty graceful.

[JerryRSun]

I think Sankyo makes my TV.

[RealHimura]

Do you really train Aikido smooth and gentle like that? If so the two sensei I know are fucking brutal... I've got a million questions but this one is a good one, is Aikido trained hard? i.e. painfully or in this smooth manner? Please some expert help here.

[MichaPlaya]

its different some senseis are very hard and brutal and they teache aikido very aggressive and effective but I would say the most train it smooth and very carefully

greetz Michael

[u002764]

Aikido is not brutal. It may be difficult for the beginner but it is designed from a sphere. Everything should circle back on itself. Aikido is graceful - as is Iaido.

[FlyinZX10R]

I think he is breaking it down and showing it slowly for training purposes. After all, he knows its on video. I have a 1st degree brown belt in Kenpo.

[jackregalado]

You got it man. Keep on flyin.

[appraiserjv]

@RealHimura The Aikido I train in is more like Aiki-jitsu because it includes atemi striking so it is a bit more intense than this. But Aikido is practiced more gentely. Some of the Techniques are not so much joint locks, but articulations which get the uke moving but without pain or injury. Also Aikido involves "flow" training where the uke will try to find opening and reverse the technique so it becomes like a dance of counters.

[darknam21]

It is very difficult to do this technique how he described it, there's too many hand movements and it will give time for the opponent to recover without some atemis. In my humble opinion, would prefer a nikyo for the situation, much simpler and practical, or just get away with a full tenkan and head for the nearest exit.

[Luvanicebum]

Most people instantly panic in a frontal choke.

5 seconds later, you're out.

You have to be VERY trained in order to pull that one off.
