Applying joint locks effectively can take many years of training and, even then, you can still get it wrong. For me, locks compliment strikes but, having said that, it's not always appropriate to strike someone... however much you feel like doing so.

  • the end of the description under the video is hilarious:)

  • @ptm5150 It would be more appropriate for a Careworker, Hospital Porter, Police Officer (usually), Night Club Doorman, etc., to apply restraining holds and perhaps even joint locks in the execution of their duty, than to punck, kick, elbow or knee them, etc.

  • @pugilistica Yes, but on the other hand if you are none of those people tend not to look kindly on breaking someone's arm because they annoy you. The only problem is when people decide to use self-defense when the "defense" part doesn't apply- and if it is defense then punching or kicking is allowed.

  • @ForwardN2Unknown For me, it is simply a question of training for all possible situations and eventualities. It like a mechanic, or a carpenter, having the right tool for the job in hand. I know, for example, that I can insert a wood screw into a piece of wood with a four-pound club hammer. But the appropriate tool would really be a screwdriver.

  • which martial art is this? aikido? or hapkido?

  • @chikkmagneet These locks can be found in many differently-named systems. My background (where locks and holds are concerned) is in arts such as Hapkido, Judo, Kali-Silat, and Savate Defence.
