Hapkido side kick defense

This is an instructional video of Hapkido side kick defenses.

[@cinimatics]

Some of these are simple and totally practical. But that neck break was straight out of a movie lol

[@jacquesaebischer9124]

Un Hapkido , puissant , des techniques superbes vraiment aptes pour la self defence , une lecture de combat incroyable le tout dans une fluidite a couper le souffle . Magnifique !!!

[@patrickdonovan7894]

"remember, it's very important to get out of the way when opponents try to kick you."

[@fett426]

Tae Kwon Do is actually a relatively modern term dateing to the 50's. TKD was developed from the various "kwans" or schools in Korea. There is pretty much no historical evidence to link it to Tae Kyon - no matter what a WTF/ITF instructor may tell you. Also, Shotokan karate was the basis for only some of the kwans (Chung Do Kwan and Moo Duk Kwan). Shudokan and Shito Ryu were the basis for some of the others.

[@zimmer999t]

great video ! very helpful ! thank you !

[@jeremybrown9611]

These tutorials never put into consideration: counters, grapples, feints and advance motions. That version of that Side Kick is very rarely used. That kick is telegraphed and slow!

[@thenerdwhodances]

jeremy brown Exactly! Who the heck side kicks with the BACK foot??

[@RandomUser_online]

@@thenerdwhodances people who wants stronker kicks

[@someguy3522]

Wrong. Hapkido teaches you principles, you practice, and through repetition you will figure out what works for you in a self defense situation. Notice I said self defense and not some MMA ppv stuff?

[@ScaredycatG]

@@thenerdwhodances preach brother.

[@CannibalTacos]

Nice video, looking at this reminds me of when I was in kuk sool won, I really miss martial arts :(

[@iamcarpetpython]

A lot of criticism here for the techs. in this vid., but I liked it. It was entertaining. It has it's place in the traditional m.a. world, and has to be taken as an encyclopedia of "hapkido side kick defense" moves. Not all moves learned are incorperated into a person's game, and some of it is abstract application to drill a certain fluency into a practicioner's game, and not a literal contentioncy plan.

[@jimmynewt]

Thank you for genius statement. Grappler's execute quite a high number of lead leg side kicks with the lead leg.

[@annoyed707]

Funny how that is, isn't it?

[@sajmeister]

the grappling side of this martial art is like Aikido and Jujutsu whereas the striking is like Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do!

[@tranhungdao1000]

wonderful defend... thank you

[@genowynn9273]

Good stuff!

That squatting foot sweep looks to be fast and effective.

[@Liquidcadmus]

all of these are technically beautiful. but too complicated to be practical. i notice this a lot with hapkido. theres a lot of cool techniques but the practical application often seems improbable if not unrealistic. theres some very useful thing in the system though. id just try to simplify many things that are too fancy or overly convoluted

[@Menyhard]

I like the first two

[@stuart4860]

haha, the old breaking the neck- hilarious

[@seyhanuthsokon]

good job

[@descartes0]

@sajmeister, is this from an instructional series (DVD)? If so, can you please specify which one?

[@moos14]

@SullyMediaProduction well,moving back is dangerous,because your opponent can move faster,has still space to perform another (maybe spun) kick or a flying knee,for example. i´d suggest to move out to the side,or just move back a little so you could still catch the kick if the oponnent tries to still hit you by performing a flying side kick.. it sounds a lot easier in theory,though :D btw i´m not training in hapkido,only muay thai,mma and a little bit of boxing sry for my bad english,im german ;)

[@lawyergvsro]

excellent defence

[@TKD344]

Thats a good instructional video - Do you do Hapkido?

[@chbu7081]

Some excellent techniques although breaking the neck or the back may be a touch excessive.

[@SakanLam]

This is pretty fuckin' cool...

[@sajmeister]

@TKD344 Yeah I did!!

[@ScolopaxJJ]

@insideout757757 i wont try to argue about that with you. i am just gonna ask two questions. if taekwondo doesnt know how to kick which martial art does? if they dont know how to kick can you explain the mistakes they did on the side kick attack for example?

[@someguy3522]

To all you future MMA wannabes: Hapkido & other martial arts wasn't created for ESPN Saturday night fights. It was created for self defense.

[@Menyhard]

I like most of them

[@gepierre]

i love hapkido I cant wait to get to get a black belt

[@siu6nim6tau6]

1) ok, where I'm from there just aren't many places you go barefooted :) 3) ok, that one always works. Just wanted to point out that a good sidekick or a good straight is far more difficult to catch; a better self-defense for "normal students" or MArtists with less than 10 yrs experience would be to evade, not trying to catch.

[@Menyhard]

Some I like

[@ZarathustrasCrown]

Doing things full speed in a demonstration doesn't generally allow the people observing to see much of anything save a flurry of limbs *shrug*...what people use tends to just depend on the person, I'm 6'4 with long legs and arms but lanky, what I'd do to defend against an attack is going to be an entirely different approach than someone who's 5'4 but big and burly...neither one is "right" and so long as you deal with the attack and get away, you've done well.

[@cagedraptor]

fun video, with some ok ideas. The climbing the leg and breaking the neck is a bit much but everyone needs a bit of fantasy in their life. Kind of lost interest in the video after that so I made it about a minute and a half, longer than I thought I'd last.

[@khmersharekh]

good

[@ruleram1]

i think it should be mentioned in the video that at 4:20 when you lean your body on the opponents foot, if you lean too far you can pop out the guys knee which would hurt like fuck btw.

[@punkerrabbit]

@namorfilus yep...only for the first two defenses though

[@Mrbajan84]

Not the Figure-4 in the Side kick def, love it HAPKIDO 5:45

[@josemarecos3186]

Es parecido a una tecnica de muay tai

[@SkwurlSkwurl]

What school of hapkido is this?

[@jummankhan2356]

👍

[@moos14]

@SullyMediaProduction oh and also i think that almost none of the shown defenses would really work,even if performed correctly,because the person performing the side kick would almost never react as shown.. you dont just fall over when somebody catches your leg.. -.-

[@chbu7081]

1) People walk around barefoot often, especially at the beach. Most of the foot grabbing techniques shown will still work because you are grabbing the toe region and the heel. 2) I agree - people are not jungle gyms. 3) Nothing will work if you are not fast enough that's why you have to be faster than them, which comes with training.

[@sajmeister]

Hapkido is a mix between taekwondo, tang soo do, tai chi, aikido, jiujitsu and judo!

[@cryhavoc9748]

sajmeister That explains why, one of the counters shown, was something I learned in tang soo do

[@hapkidobear1]

The neck break technique against a Side Kick is not only Excessive Force it is Murder or at least Manslaughter. It is a Side Kick not a Gun Attack. Force must be reasonable under the Law.

[@2wireb]

Side step... Umm the defender side-steps. that is pretty important!

[@jubuthehutt]

Videos from Fariborz Azhakh!

[@Redgrave89]

@CannedKoolaid Not a problem

[@Menyhard]

3:40 I like that one 4:30

[@FabriAcordino]

@imKyurem everything depends of the fighters ;)

[@kamonwingchunjackyoung4430]

This man talking nearly sound like Bruce lee but really really soft quiet voice

[@126STRNGNFIT]

@guyonfire87 Hapkido is based on Daito ryu Aiki jujutsu. Which Aikido came from. Hapkido's base in Aikijujutsu and blended with native Korean kicking and striking art of Tae Kyon.Not Tae kwon do. Both founders of Aikido and Hapkido studied under the same master Takeda Sensi. So its impossible for Hapkido to have come from Aikido

[@sanddocon]

the last kick instead of jumping i would do a Thia round house kick

[@Redgrave89]

@CannedKoolaid This I can actually agree upon, there are no arguments here on this end.

[@mikeremix8025]

Hapkido with kimono ?

[@federicopapi3181]

Dobok Is a Korean Martial Art

[@jairjkd81]

A lot of these movements are a total waste of energy and time, they are nice visualy talking. in streets they would be killed or wounded. But I will see them as they are: another way to solve the problems. Thanx for this video.

[@SifuJorgeLy]

Who is the black belt in this video?

[@jubuthehutt]

Fariborz Azhakh (finally, after 12 years!)

[@siu6nim6tau6]

you may have a point there, and I shouldn't have generalized - I just see too many ppl exactly saying that their technique always work, therefore making money of fools following their instructions; although these "students" never get to learn the basics of fighting, e.g. that there are actually no "techniques" you can perform, just many trained reflexes you can develop into a kind of "combination", depending on the very situation. Anyways, my apologies, guess u know what youre talkin about

[@Da1RiSiN1sMoKe]

1:15 I LOLd.

[@Dave-Evans73]

3rd technique.........would you ever get away with breaking the neck in this day and age when there are other less deadly options available? Assuming the guy would offer his head there for you to take in the first palce. Would really have to be a life or death situation, even then, I doubt this extravagant move would really work in real life.

[@fett426]

If you really interested in the Korean martial arts please see "Korean Martial Arts Handbook" by Glenn Jones. It is an excellent and well-researched book for information on the Korean martial arts.

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

These movements are only a small part of hapkido, which is a comprehensive system of self-defense and H2H fighting, including strikes, kicks, joint locks, throws and submissions. This video is mostly choreographed and is not representative of real-world HKD. Watch some Steve Sexton; he is an 8th degree BB in HKD and has used it in numerous fights against guns, knives, etc.

[@LouCarlitoSebelboodnr1]

not everyone in REAL LIFE is a mma fighter..for a common fight you will shut somebody down with this kind of moves, trust me to catch a kick from somebody is easy! after that..BAM

[@siu6nim6tau6]

most of it wont work on the street. I usually dont say that, because I respect every martial art. in this case, the reasons are pretty obvious: 1) noone will put his shoes off to kick you barefooted -> grabbing toes wont work 2) noone stops to move in a streetfight so you can just climb on him and break his neck; at least he'd fall over, raise arms, etc - that wont work. 3) only ppl who know how to perform a sidekick will side kick you - and their kicks may be much too fast to catch

[@irgordon]

Half of these techniques are highly impractical and rely on incredible good timing, which in a dynamic and organic situation like a street encounter are highly unlikely...his knee would be a platform to jump on and snap his neck? Not very likely and not effective...

[@someguy3522]

But I guess that's why you practice, right?

[@anthonyrogers6741]

Being a hkd practitioner all my life I have personally done and have seen many of my students use most of these techniques during hard sparring sessions. So yes it take good timing but its not impossible. Using the knee as a platform for me isn't practical but the rest have there place.

[@chbu7081]

The side kick could be performed by someone as part of a gang attack where they are trying to kill him.

[@theanghv]

0:54 side kick to the knee fail.

[@pathaksushovan3542]

and I m 20 its. late or not to join the hapkido

If you have to ask, it's too late.

[@straightblast1]

Yep. See these kicks work in real combat all the time (lol). Please!!! if someone has a video of this being done in reality - POST IT. Be the first!

[@MultiSpeedJumper]

1:49 Lool i will that he stop attacking me not kill him :D

[@pathaksushovan3542]

im 20 yrs now can.I. join hapkido from biggners

[@Realitydenizen]

More people try that kind of crap than you would ever believe. Think how many strip mall TKD studios there are in this country.

[@anastasiosalafogiannis1356]

i trained hapkido for many years trained taekwondo for many years want to win a fight? practice punching i prefer punch then kick not kick then punch the dragon whips tail move would not work on concrete scrape your knee to the grablers not all grapling works just like not all hapkido works or all karate works. i prefer wrestling not bjj thats my prefrence

[@cryhavoc9748]

Interesting to watch. But I caution you to discard any technique your instructor teaches you that has you "showing your back" to your opponent. Even if for a split second. Shit like that can get you killed on the street.

[@PunchyEireann]

You Practise this stuff untill its second nature then no doubt it will work on the street same for any martial art imo

[@cagedraptor]

to some degree you are very right. practice for extended periods will enable you to do some things that an untrained person can't. But I still say no matter how much you train your not going to run up someone's leg and then break their neck with a twist, I don't care how much training you have done.

[@black5corpion76]

Taekwon do is a sport is not a martial art where u can use it on the bus or train in case u getting mugged ... have u ever seen a navyseal doing tornado kicks ....no.. they use stealth more like hand to hand combat know as ninjustsu .

[@Redgrave89]

@imKyurem Not going to get into a big ass rant, just gonna reply to this with; Nope. Stop making me lmao

[@ninjamonkeez23]

chinese sanda counter seems more reliable

[@mrbest1981]

unless your opponent is a beginner, kicks slow and has shit timing...that's not the kick defense I would use

[@Da1RiSiN1sMoKe]

@Meerul264 Yeah, you've never been to a McDojo before. Try this crap shown here and you'll get the soul beat out of you.

[@JohnChivez]

"in the streets" not many people would throw a full side kick either. Just enjoy.

[@josejames8578]

Catching the kick of a trained Karateka is impossible

[@Redgrave89]

@Redgrave89 B.) UFC is mostly Wrestling with Boxing and kick boxing, now a days it's rather rare to see actual mixed martial arts. C.) The Gracie family invented Brazilian Jui-jitsu so of course they can decimate anyone considering they're the masters of their own art. D.) I'm really sure you haven't actually done martial arts all your life so yeeeeeeah..... That needs to be said is stop being pissy. If You have faith in your martial art then cool great.

[@FabriAcordino]

this is not hapkido...t's only a few techniques for movies....

[@malachimoore1101]

Lmao

[@dangkoen]

It's Taekwondo.

[@federicopapi3181]

It's Hapkido This is Not TKD

[@faixxquim]

que tosco

[@tpbisdivine]

Don't try these at home

[@TheUniverseExists]

this is so funny

[@petriukas20]

lol....that would never fucking work

Not against at trained martial artist but against some egotistical asshole on the street it'd work wonders.

[@ninjawaffle11]

this is all good until u fight a grappler

[@scarred10]

what a load of complete rubbish,virtually nothing there works.Typical of a style that doesnt full contact spar with those techs.

[@KaptainCanuck]

I loathe any videos, especially spliced, who narrate rather than teach.

[@penguin12010]

hopkido is worthless against someone that trains a martial art
