@bam7786: Now dont get me wrong, if you like Aikido, that is cool, keep doing it, it is an art, a physical exercise, good for character development, etc. But if you are looking for realistic self defense, practice something else, with very few exceptions, it doesnt work. The wristlock is a good move, and one technique against a rear grab is awesome, but rely on the element of surprise, along with an eye poke, or groin kick before they can be used.

Go ahead and try this on someone with a little training In Judo/Wrestling/Jiu Jitsu, see how many times it works, you are going to be disappointed. I practice Ninjutsu as well, and although they have a lot of "cool" techniques, some of them will not work in a real situation no matter how many times you practice it. I have respect for martial arts, but there are better more practical techniques to defend against a wrist grab. Aikido is an art but with serious modification it could have some use.

You think a hold doesnt cause pain? lol. It's the same as a nerve, it's temporary and is used to control your enemy.. lol

ha that shit would be put on you so fast, when you do "turn" you will be on the ground turning over.. This man is going slow to show the technique, when we did this in class it is so quick, that right when you feel your arm move up, a strong force is slamming it to the ground! I had the same outlook as you until I studied it and realised, dang this does work..

Yes your absolutley right! But the more experience in martial arts you get, and the longer you study the more they teach you about standing your ground. For instance I studied Ninjutsu/Jujutsu and as a white belt we would defend then run, or strike and run. As we progressed deep into red belt we were taught to fight fire with fire. Other words If they attack you attack back instantly! Sometimes in life a person can't run and they have to fight back and have courage!

Your not very experienced, or at least not very wise. The very basis of Aikido when it was created by Ushiba was to spread love to everyone, ESPECIALLY those who are trying to harm you. If you want to control them, then you can take them down and pull them into a hold on the ground so they can't get up. The worst that you do to them there is cause nerve pain, no actual damage.

@skullkidtom If they have a knife and your last resort is to defend urself empty handed, probably parrying the blade would be best, and using strikes, eye pokes, until u can secure a disarm would be best, but most likely, you'll probably die or go to the hospital. However, my estimates are not 100% accurate, but if they have a knife you have a 1% chance of actually using shiho-nage, whereas maybe a 40-50% chance of doing an outside wristlock or similar move.

No not all, there are a lot of dumb martial arts instructors out there. Fleeing is what should be done if there is a knife present, but if someone has a knife and has you cornered, caught up to you because he ran faster than you, or is going to kill a friend or family member, you probably need to take action, hopefully you yourself have a weapon. If not, the worst case scenario is defending yourself empty handed against a blade, in that case, this technique is the worst to even attempt.
