thanks for telling the world...?

MMA may be the best for the ring but outside of the competition arena there almost all useless. An hapkido master may almost always lose in a ring or point scoring environment but on the street it is a deadly and brutal art when in the hands of a trained practitioner.

I don't buy it. First, she isn't throwing the punch properly. I'd go inside and do a shoulder throw or a sweep. You'd never be able to trap the arm like that. Sorry...

[slickdepictions]

this is the most uninteresting set of lessons I have ever seen. No sense of urgency in the movements. I wish all attackers swung a hook like that.

@kabarretta Crap is a little harsh, isn't it?

The kicks are a bit fency, still a lot of them work. Some punches are a little classic (straight punch like in karate e.g.). But still in hapkido (if you have a good instructor) there is a lot of cool stuff! Elbows, palmstrikes, low kicks all that stuff works. Knowing pressure points can help you if you face a bigger opponent. The throws are not bad. Only stand up grappling takes many years to learn in my opinion.

I read bellow a guy saying that bjj is useless against multi oponents. My friend, if you see multioponents in front of you, Run.. is the only way to save your ass. Believe me, I trained hapkido for 5 years and it is CRAP, TV show moves. If you are one-o-one or one-against two, maybe muaythai save your ass. BJJ is a great fight for MMA championship, in a street fight you wont be alone time enough to put someone down and submit your oponent.

@HappyBirthdaySANTA I'll spar or streetfight your faggoty ass anytime. The reason you'll never see this in action is because it will never work in action. If you can't apply it in a controlled setting, you'll never be able to apply it in an uncontrolled setting aka the street/combat.

@terminaltoad go start the staff at a hapkido place then you fucking dickhead... do you not understand the concept of sparring. this is not a sparring move it's for live combat & unless you have cameras on every corner of every street i doubt that you'll ever see it..........

[terminaltoad]

I see this(or comparable) demo all the time, but have not once seen it applied in sparring or a street fight. I'll believe it when I see it in action.

FWIW - the simultaneous palm strike is great if attacker isn't so much stronger that you must block with both arms. Similar tai chi chuan movement: pivot on heels, body turns so blocking arm is perpendicular to own shoulders when it catches the punch, forearm at least 45 degrees forwards of vertical, palm out / wrist drooping forwards -> prevents collapse. The punch power adds to defender's hip rotation, bringing the other shoulder forward to strike (knife edge across throat equally good).

[TonesterD]

The block shown has the palm facing inwards, and the forearm already angled back towards the head. The defender knows it's adequate for the weak punches thrown, but it's a terrible recommendation for anyone needing to defend against a stronger attacker, as the arm is all primed to collapse inwards, allowing the punch to make nearly full-power contact. You can deflect a straight punch like that, but not stop a strong hook. The block should move outwards using rotation from the hips....

Its not the art its the artist in my opinion
