Yubi-Waza Finger locks- The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique -

The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique - Finger Locks
David Ito Sensei covers the basics of Yubi-waza (指技) or “finger locks” in Aikido. Finger locks are a small part of Aikido training and really more used as a transition to other techniques. Let us know if you want us to do a full length video on this or any topic.
Sometimes there's no time to read a lengthy message or watch a long documentary. So we've created these quick and easy 2 minute techniques to help you improve your Aikido technique and knowledge. Keep an eye out for them every Wednesday.
Enjoy!

I just saw an ad on how to become a Yubiwaza master in an old issue of Tales of Suspense from 1964. They weren't lying!!!

[@AikidoCenterLA]

Well. I didn't want to say that's where I learned it! I am a fan of the occult.

[@DAHui808]

Thank you Sensei! Your 2 min techniques have had positive and long lasting effects on my practice. Thank you so much! Aloha! 🙏🏽

[@AikidoCenterLA]

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words

[@kevinmclean3668]

Thank you. The simplicity and directness of the technique, combined with the honesty and clarity of your teaching, are profound.

[@AikidoCenterLA]

You're very welcome!

[@user-bq1zz5ce7k]

Excellent stuff!

[@nelsonbird9492]

thank you so much for the lesson stay safe and take care

[@OneLoneMan]

I have done this before. I works on surprising Uke. I have used to get cuffs on a suspect.

[@brennok3108]

Thank you for the videos and the great work you all are doing in these trying times. I am looking forward to joining you guys -- and the world Aikido, and martial arts in general! -- after the pandemic is over.

[@AikidoCenterLA]

Thank you. We look forward to it!

[@michelessiambre2021]

Excellent!

[@lessteveson5796]

Awesome techniques and explanation.

[@AikidoCenterLA]

Thanks for watching, Les!

[@scottseufert2197]

Thanks for doing the video, and the nice explanation! I am excited to try these techniques.

[@AikidoCenterLA]

You are so welcome!

[@barrettokarate]

Just my two cents, but less is best. As Yoshinkan aikido stylist and U.S. Army Colonel, Dane Harden once pointed out, you get a big guy or someone with strong hands like a contractor, electrician, day laborer, etc. so it's best to grab one or two fingers at a time.

[@davidwashington1869]

Great video can you show how you deal with kicks...

[@benflay6038]

Do you do kubishime

[@kaulinis_senis]

[@afiqsince86]

Sensei how about more henka waza

[@AikidoCenterLA]

Hello, Thanks for watching. The topic of henka waza is quite broad. In terms of Henka waza, what are you looking for? Do you have a specific attack or technique in mind? We'd love to do something, we just need to know what you would like us to focus on.

[@afiqsince86]

@@AikidoCenterLA hmm you're right.. im not sure how you're going to work on that in 2 minutes. But i was thinking about something along the line of what one could do when one fails to perform an ikkyo over variation of resistance

[@drako8502]

Como odeio essa técnica 🤣 sensei .... Lol kkkk

[@TaiChiGhost]

I can tell you from experience that a finger lock, or any technique like it, is ineffective against someone who has poor hygiene (greasy skin) or is hysterical with fear/drugs. The latter of which feel NO PAIN until the next day. Those individuals require a carotid choke or a good, hard throw to the ground or door jamb. Those are both risky tactics, and can land you in jail.

[@Benjamin_based]

These things don't work. Judo and BJJ has shown numerous times that people are willing to break their fingers in sparring and continue let alone a deranged attacker who may be drunk.

[@AikidoCenterLA]

Thank you for watching. If you watched the video I do make that assertion and that is why you need to transition after administering a finger lock. I appreciate you taking the time to comment

[@JoshLavian]

I don't remember anyone being willing to break their fingers in BJJ sparring when I trained. That's a strange statement to make

[@clyde9803]

They'd be inexplicably stupid if they did. Benny made it up.

[@kevinmclean3668]

I'd agree. Fingerlocks aren't a '100%' technique. Very few things are especially against people who may be on drugs. But they are still useful. I'd say the demonstrator was very honest about the fact that knowing a few fingerlocks won't make you a superman. It might help in some situations though. Just my take away from the demo. May be useful, but don't bet the farm on them (which I think is pretty much what the demonstrator said).

[@jorkbartoschkozlowski9097]

It’s true this is kata (form). It’s in a class to train. Fighting is chaotic (street fight conflict or other more non competitive context.) In dojo (ofc) people are clear and consistent and in a practice context. In a bar or any place people (sadly) can have higher pain threshold or be delusional/psychotic because of stimulants (amphetamine). I hope we can be in a society which is not like that and we never come to this point and train with aiki and piece ❤ best to always use psychological support and bouncers/security and de escalate because we are not caveman ;) and the we martial artist are not professionals of conflict solution and have an academic background for it. (Law and Justice/Criminology or police training.)
