i strongly believe any other race other than Chinese cannot use or learn martial arts to there full potential. i am white and i learn different styles of kung fu and i know hapkido. but i will never be able to perform them to there full potential because it is not in my blood. i did not learn them in a commercial place like yours (no offence) i learned them in china, where they should be learned and taught. your technique is very good but its too robotic, you need to meditate.
@MDunclestinky Thanks for the comment we do address this in practice with sparring with helmets and gloves. I also talk about it later in this video I do mention it. There's always a chance when you have 2 of their hands on one of theirs. With more off balancing or if I lead with a strike it makes it more difficult for them to retaliate.
Thank you. That is a big part of my curriculum. Hopefully the technique sinks into the students muscle memory quicker if they do the same technique several ways.
why do we never see hapkido wrist moves in mma like ufc? I saw one asian guy once break another guys arm in a a pride match in a standing kimura which i believe is basically a hapkido move. The lack of diversity in mma is disturbing sometimes.
I'm sure there are several factors one being that there aren't many competitions that use jointlocks. Almost every fighter in the UFC came from an art that is heavy in competition.
Jointlocks worked well for me when I worked at the county jail against drunks and the unskilled. Will they work against top of the line athletes? I don't know.
I always wondered about that. I kind of thought small joints would be just the fingers and toes. I think the gloves and the wraps would hinder the possibilities as well.
Josh very well done on the demonstrations of the wrist lock/throw techniques. Your explanations of executions of the techniques easy to follow. I also like how you really tell people to watch for the other hand of the opponent I agree completly. Often times some people will be so focussed on technique and forget about your opponents other weapons. 5 stars and favorited.
Thanks David, as always your comments are appreciated!
When you actually spar with these techniques at first it is really easy to get punched when you are dealing with that other hand. Soon we learn to move and watch for that punch and still get the jointlock.
all over good video tho :D

You're going to get punched in the face - your distancing is wrong.

@HapkidoJosh by stepping into his strength - his line of attack, you are negating any off balancing, you give him a open shot and his balance back.

Great video! I like how you go over different situations where the technique can be used. Keep up the good work!

Wrist locks fall under the category of Small Joint Manipulation (illegal in UFC and most MMA)
