I'd be far more impressed if the ukes didn't show that the pain continued after the pressure stopped. To me, that shows that damage is occurring. Damaging your uke has no practical application at all - it's disrespectful and plain wrong.

My sensei has trained with menkyo kaiden who could create unreal levels of pain which would stop as soon as they released you.

Grandmaster Lee Chang Soo may seem rough but it's actually practical training to harden and toughen the student's pain threshold for real world applications.

I must say I appreciate the art, but not the way it is applied.

It seems very effective and technical, but I looks like the sensei is just showing off.

In our dojo we use to stop when uke beats and screams.

But actually, in our dojo ukes don't beat and scream to impress.

@chuwii2 Hapkido comes form Daito Ryu Aikijujitsu: originally the grabs were essentially to prevent you from drawing your Katana. But rest assured there are many technics against kicks, punches... etc in both Hapkido and Daito Ryu. In addition, the hand grabs have now become an easy training method for the beginers: wether you grab a hand or punch the motion is the same.

@The guys lamenting the dudes pain. I'm pretty sure they're exaggerating it to show that it hurts REAL bad if done hard. I just started JJK Hapkido and had a finger lock done on me.... ow.... but no damage done.

@ranandom yah the kicks i learned under these guys changed my entire world and perspective of what kicking is~it aint like the movies

[nekroe]

@Driftman101 yah his was the smoothest hard touch i've ever felt.Dojunim Jie Han Jae had the platinum grab too.

@chuwii2 haha ever since i trained jjk hapkido i shit you not ive found that people will walk right up and grab you damn near exactly like the class.and you'll fuck em up and theyll grab you again.its wild man you gotta be a part of it for a bit and it all makes sense...this shit made me personally invincible,but i trained properly.

@totalherenow I agree he didn't have to go so hard. That's not cool. But they are not injured for life. They'll be sore for a few weeks, that's all. I know from experience.
