Do Hip Throws Actually Work? Let's Find Out!

[@ironmikehallowween]

It’s nice to find your channel. I started with Hapkido in 1989. As to your point about utilizing techniques in various situations, I didn’t realize that all of our joint locks actually had a purpose in reality, until I started taking Jujitsu many years later. I quickly realized that hapkido style wrist, elbow, and shoulder locks, worked magnificently from the ground and often increased the power of some of the techniques I was being taught. In addition, pulling guard on me and presenting me with your feet or legs was definitely like an unexpected gift for me. Thanks for the video and best wishes.

Thank you Nikolai for these important details and explanations, I do struggle with hip-throws as I am a small women, but will try this way on my next training.

Do ? ?? work. The answer to that question, no matter what the ? stands for, is yes it could work. It really depends on the person doing it and their skill level at it. Anything can work if you are really skilled at it. I don't really do kicks and especially high kicks so, for me, they would not be a high percentage technique, but I know people who high kicking is all they do, and they are great at it so for them high kicking would be a high percentage skill to use. By the way I love Koshi Nage and it really works well for me not only on the mat but on the street as well. I never tried it in one of my cage fights but if I had I am sure I would have pulled it off at least once.

Hey there! That’s really the point of training too. We should develop our personal skill and learn to use it to our full advantage. :) thanks for the comment and best of luck in your future fights!
