Counters are easy bro. I learned them early on 27 years ago in Filipino Pangamot. Also, I did Aikido for 17 years and I could always counter them. Also, San Soo is easy to counter. I'm at the point now where my mind could just see counters and I really don't have to think about it. I would like to go into counter to counter, but there are very few people in the United States that know how to counter in the first place. In Aikido counters are taught many years down the line. I just got lucky and learned it in the beginning of my studies in Pangamot from a master from the Philippines.

In BJJ, look out for us old guys. We love wrist locks as we are too lazy and slow to do techniques that require us to move much. It forces my opponent to be very anxious to grip my wrist, my lapel especially standing working for a throw or takedown, that is once you've snuck a wrist lock on them. Because of that, it gives an advantage to the wrist locker because his opponent doesn't want to fully commit to a grip if he feels a wrist lock may be coming. Also, works offensively to finish submissions. Too lazy to finish a omoplata? Wrist lock em. Too much work to finish an arm bar being defended? Wrist lock em. That triangle isnt working so well? Wrist lock em. You get the point. Yeah, I get it I'm talking sports BJJ, but somewhere in this there is some some self defense moves. I made the mistake of teaching a class full of hungry, young blue, purple and brown belts that same simple defense you showed. That took a good % of my old man jiu jitsu game and flushed it down the toilet!

[@jeffyoung60]

Someone wrote that these intricate wrist and arm locks require fine motor movements and skills that need lots of practice to learn and retain. That is why certain, reactive, simple, self-defense systems originated in the past, such as Defendu (1927), Combato (1935), and Krav Maga (1948?), all of which relied on natural, simple, gross body movements. Defendu which appears to be the ancestor defensive combative system for all modern Western military combatives, had its origin in dangerous Shanghai of the 1920s, where everything was for sale or for the taking, life was cheap, and violence was rife against rank-and-file policemen. Defendu's founder, assistant police commissioner of Shanghai, William E. Fairbairn, combined the core art of Japanese Jujutsu (which Ryu is not known) with elements of, boxing, wrestling, and French Savate. Defendu's doctrine was immediate crushing counterattack to a vicious, violent attack by a criminal, several assailants, with or without melee weapons. There were no blocks. It assumed you were suddenly attacked. Your response was not a block but instant counterstrike(s). The goal was to end the confrontation within seconds, not engage in an MMA contest. The combatives relied on relatively simple straightforward body movements involving quick hand strikes and low kicks. Reputedly Defendu was easy to learn and could be accomplished in weeks of intensive training. Someone studying Defendu only twice a week would no doubt take far longer. William Fairbairn taught his new Defendu self-defense combative to the Shanghai Municipal Police. Later Fairbairn would devise a lethal form of Defendu to be taught to American, British, and Canadian rangers, commandos, special forces, and espionage operatives in World War II. If there exist a dojo teaching original Defendu today, I do not know of it. But Fairbairn's Defendu lives on as a core study in many Western military combatives programs.

I really need to practice this my brothers would practice daily it really works its extremely affective don't even tell a person what is coming if you can get them to think your shaking their hand

[@jozef_chocholacek]

The problem with wrist locks is they require a lot of fine manipulations, quite precise positioning of the fingers etc. Which can be hard to achieve in a fight, because fight is messy. So I personally teach them only to advanced students (brown belt and higher), and rely on big strong movements with beginners. Anyway, great and inspiring video as usual!

[@donsab-xz4so]

Also, I do not like any technique where I am using both of my hands against one of my opponent's hands. Yo had better be lightning quick or else his free hand is gonna do damage.

[@PG-jp1bv]

Joint locks don’t work independently of context but neither does a double leg take down or an upper cut. Done out of context (position, timing, kuzushi, momentum, flow, etc) every technique will fail. Set up properly as part of a larger technical understanding they work great.

[@richardaquino1640]

If someone pushes you with either hand you can step back sideways and immediately put him In a wrist lock one Hand or two hand in many different directions bending your knees and using your legs as leverage as your body moves upwards for more power . They are the base of many other techniques learn how to use them as a start then learn how useful they can be in combination techniques.

[@JoelHuncar]

I loved this one. Having tight wrists I was wincing the entire time!

[@muteqx]

Wrist locks don't depend on causing pain, and pain compliance shouldn't be the objective because those often won't work. If anything the wrist is just one end of a lever connected to the floor through the centre of the opponents body. Thus the whole of their body follows the centre. You don't need to go against them or rely on pain compliance if you use the connection to steer their entire body structure by removing the slack in the fascia so there is nowhere else they can go except with you to the floor anyway. Done with skill, the other person shouldn't be able to let go of you even if they want to, because they become stuck to you once they have decided to attack. Of course it takes skill and practise and I'm hardly the expert. But most definitely you don't need to use pain to control someone with a lock, as long as you control their entire structure through all of the joints into the floor and beyond, rather than focusing on pain-attacking a single joint.

The easiest to escape out of all the locks. Know thiers some lovks that inclued the rist, elbow amd shoulder that could be difficult to get out of. Bit jist a wrist lock a few movements and you will be out as long as its not handcuffs.

[@Wheeliedevil]

After a lot of training you should be fast enough to switch to another wrist lock after a block. I'm sure you can do that.

[@clackamasoneful]

From a practical standpoint, going live, ie BJJ, once they got out of one wrist lock, and that usually means they nearly got caught, your opponent is wary as can be, and avoids the 2nd one like the plaque. Untrained people, or non resisting drilling partner, sure....I guess. If I can't catch a technique in live rolling, I usually drop it in favor of something I can get at a higher percent ofthe time.

[@Leadfoot_P71]

I always find this focus on defending against the wrist grab so strange. No one ever initiates an attack by grabbing your wrist. It just doesn't happen. So why focus on it?

[@EmmalineEros]

[@allenbridgeman]

I like these videos, but no one has ever grabbed my wrist aggressively

[@martinkuliza]

That wrist grabbed (as one who has trained Martial Arts for 40 years) is literally the dumbest thing a person could do when they attack you. THEY DO HOWEVER DO IT If it's never happened to you then you were attacked by smarter criminals but he also did a very bad video with bad techniques and he didn't explain the fundamental concept..... Why it's always a wrist grab is because that grab can translate to any grab on the body. i'ts just a default position we start from so if anyone has grabbed you by the shirt on your chest or by the shoulder or arm all of that starts from a wrist grab and the same technique is used that's what it is

[@zankares]

İ tarım aikido. We use all this techniques

[@timsmith9169]

Do you ever use a kubaton .they are great for controlling someone bigger then self

[@martinkuliza]

firstly it's KUBOTAN and my advice is ... don't say what you said, it makes you look stupid and amateurish. it's like walking into a martial arts store, Looking at an ornamental sword and since you lack the knowledge you say "can i have a look at the Katana sword" it just sounds dumb . Hapkido uses another similar weapon it's called a Dan Bong, Same principle as the Kubotan , Except it's bigger and has a cord on it that doesn't heat up when it spins around your hand. this way , you can't drop the weapon it's much more effective than a Kubotan and there are many more applications it can be used in but to go further, if Cops see you with a Kubotan they know you're up to no good . However... if you're carrying Pens on you like a steel Parker Pen Mate, that is good as any kubotan, Great for enhancing joint locks and causing a world of pain Also objects you can just pick up from the ground like a piece of pipe or a piece of tree branch, NO, Hapkido does not specifically train with KUBOTAN, We have Weaponry , DAN-BONG is the traditional weapon, we also train with knives, Bow or Staff, However you want to call it, walking Cane is a popular one but these weapons can translate into other things. We also train to use things like Plastic bags and garden hoses. All those .. Kubotan, Nunchuku, Sai, Shuriken, Sword style weapons are fine and cool but realistically useless on the street, You get caught with those.. UNDERSTAND... YOU ARE GOING TO JAIL, simple as that

[@TheRazmotaz]

A lot of improper technique shown. Once you are connected, pull it to your belt buckle. Now it’s your body against his arm or hands. Don’t care that he put his other hand on there. It’s not as strong as my whole body! Secondly, at the start push toward and to the side of the attacker. This will force his thumb to soft n it’s grip to keep it from breaking - totally unconsciously.

[@kevinturner7514]

Your technical skills are very basic when it comes to the joint locks. There are subtle changes that escalate the techniques from "hurt" to "injure." Your friend would not be able to counter a true Hapkido practitioner's wrist locks. There are soft and hard versions depending on what the situation requires. We can break the opponent faster than you can merely "hurt" them.

[@martinkuliza]

HEY.. SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS.. Great. I agree if he did this stuff correctly, You wouldn't be getting out of it His footwork isn't even correct which is why he S Lock didn't work which is why his V Lock was ineffective and he pushed the V Lock down inside of to the side He held the hand at the knuckles instead of the back of the hand as you said, all these little things that were overlooked but man, that footwork was aweful

[@caseyryback6932]

I disagree on everything in this vid. Locks and throws live from momentum, speed, and distraction.... Just like punches... If you aren't fast enough and even telegraph the attacks, I can dodge every single time. Surely it takes a lot of practice to work effectively. But the benefit of locks are demonstrated in so many MMA Fights. As fights move, we move. And if it gets into closest range, surely you will find yourself in a position to lock the guy.... But of course you can't rely on allways being able to lock.... Thats why you should always learn striking too. Be flexible and unpredictable.

[@jimyoung5832]

All these videos of MMA and fight videos and street fights.Show me 1 video.Just one, of a risk lock working in a real fight... JUST ONE VIDEO..

[@jjs3890]

The reason why jujitsu consisted of so many wrist locks is because they are extremely effective especially against weapons. And jujitsu was created from edged weapons. Of course they have to be used in the right time and place. Judo removed wrist locks because they caused injuries to easily. MMA outlawed small joint manipulation because of injuries. But wearing mma gloves adds wrist support and negates the effectiveness of them. And if your only using them when someone grabs your wrist then your missing out on the intended potential. When using Kenjutsu principles (applied science) along with wrist locks, then bigger and stronger is insignificant because your never applied force in the direction that it seams. And you suing your entire body (not tension from your arm) to apply it against their single joint. But again, they are not full proof, just high success rate.

SAID BY EVERY PERSON WHO HAS NEVER TRAINED MARTIAL ARTS... LOL OK, i'll explain it 1. THEY ACTUALLY DO GRAB YOU BY THE WRIST, I've had it happen plenty of times 2. this one is also fact, if you can see that they are dumb (and they generally have to be to be grabbing you by the wrist) and let's say they want to rob you. put your wallet in your hand and extend your hand out to them , they go to grab the wallet, THERE IS YOUR WRIST GRAB........Easy. so you can be cheeky and set them up if the're dumb 3. BUT THAT ASIDE..... Here's the real deal, if a criminal is smart he WILL NOT - Grab you by the wrist - Grab your chest or body - He won't punch you - He won't use a baseball bat or a stick All of these are stupid (not as dumb as grabbing the wrist, but still, not smart moves) A Smart criminal wouldn't attack you in the first place, and then.. WHY is he attacking you, for Money ? there are things you can do with your smart phone to rob a person without even saying a word to them. 4. but then you have the common one's that do the above things. IN THIS CASE.... We train from a wrist grab because the technique we do from there TRANSLATES UNIVERSALLY TO ANY OTHER GRAB ON THE BODY Hence why.. if you've never trained, You don't know this and why you say "Ummm, who's gonna grab you on the wrist anyway" NO MATE... We understand that people are USUALLY not going to grab us on the wrist. there are reasons why we do this Also Understand, the techniques that he showed were shown VERY VERY BADLY and if you do it the way he showed it, A person will get out of the lock I"m actually very suprised by him
