Flow Drill - Hapkido Technique of the Month August 2007

This pieces 3 jointlocking techniques from past Technique of the month videos. To avoid using force on force it is sometimes better to change direction to a different technique.

the flow drills are explained in a systematic way, awesome!

and the combos is logically great when u considering the instinctive resistance from the opponent, and the moves proceed towards the takedown palm strike (though i personally prefers Punch instead XD )

the video is great! keep it coming

Thanks for the great comment! I agree on the punch part. For a period of time my instructor insisted that we did palm heel when their head was on the floor because we didn't want to hurt our hands with a punch against a solid surface, but we abandoned that philosophy after a while. It still sticks with me sometimes.

Thank you very much. I am actually editing a video right now and should have it posted next week some time if not today.

somehow these jointlocks remind me of japanese jiu jitsu, ninjutsu or aikido, where did hapkido come from? from which country?looks awesome btw.

[HapkidoJosh]

Hapkido is a Korean Martial art. Which has roots in Japanese Aiki Ju Jutsu (where Aikido came from). It shares the same Chinese characters as Aikido but the arts are very different.

Nicely executed, cleary explained. Thank you.

Lock flow drills are cool!! I love watching practitioners from Aikido and Hapkido do these. I find it interesting to see the distinct similarities and differences in these drills. Nice Work!

I'm assuming he or she means a video of you doing more locks, in a series. In Combat Hapkido, we call them the wrist lock series, or arm lock series, and so on. I agree, though, you should make one big video (or a few big videos) of all of the wrist locks, arm locks, takedowns, chokes, pressure points...

The people want to know what you know! Give the people what they want! I love your videos, man. You rock!
