hmm... people in the comments keep saying that this sort of technique is useless and could never be used in a real life situation, but, honestly, who's to say what kind of real life situation you may be in? What if you're running from an attacker and they grab your arm as you start to leave? Use this. What if you're subjected to domestic violence? I could see an aggressive spouse grabbing someone's arm like this. Doesn't hurt to know these sorts of things. Never know when they might be useful.

Thanks! I love Hapkido!

@JessBisme i agree and remember people, its better to know how to defend yourself, even if you think no one would ever do this to you, if someone did you'd wish you'd paid attention, the more you know the better you will be, the more ground you have covered the more better chance you have of defending yourself should the need arise, never ever think you know how people fight on the streets, they are unpredictable and each person is different, i agree with you jess, well said.

Hum I like that, but that's not really Hapkido, but Chin'na kung grap technique.

I'll make this part of my secret handshake!

Part of the reason that you see comments about this technique being useless in real life is that he's showing 1/3 of the complete technique. There is footwork that you must complete as apart of this initial phase [the escape] that is not being shown. From there, you'll execute a reversal which involves the arm twist [as shown] and more footwork [a proper reverse pivot w/ the wrist lock], and then a submission that there is no clue of being demonstrated in this video. Done properly - game over.

i love TKD and Hapkido....i do TKD 3 years and when i finish ill start hapkido cause it looks AWESOME.. XD......oh and something else these techiques CAN be used in real life iv done them to my father XD

I think that videos like this would gain more respect if at the end they were shown in real-time. It looks ineffective when only done slowly but when they're shown applied quickly (which is the practical way to use such a technique) it's helpful to understand that they can be useful and what to expect out of them.

I do something similar to this, but one handed, if done fast enough, very effective ( used it in a real life situation)... I put my middle finger on the bottom of the wrist as he/she tries to hit me while pressing down with my palm and twisting his/her arm away from me, leaving the kidneys and elbow exposed. That means I can either hurt or restrain the opponent... but remember this: it's the motion of your whole body and not just the hand...
