Hapkido Curriculum Evolution Wrist Throw

Wrist throw is one of the basic techniques taught at the beginner level. I show it here as an Initiating technique, against a fighting stance, against a sleeve grab, and against a chest grab.

I just got a new video camera and this will be my first upload using it. There are some shaky spots. But the quality is good I think.

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

@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.

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

[HapkidoJosh]

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.

@AICJacob that's narrow minded.

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.

@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.

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.

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