Aikido Basics: Wrist Lock Twist : Aikido Sankyo Hook Punch Defen

Just wanted to say I posted a similar reply much later, then scrolled way down and saw you saying the same things.

It's good to know that I'm not crazy. This guy "teaches" you to leave your side wide exposed to follow-up punch or other attack.

I never said this technique cannot work. I pointed out the problems with his execution.

There's another guy here, "nwaikikai" who said the same things that I did -"This defense won't work. It doesn't account for the second hand of the attacker, which I would use to belt you in the jaw if you tried to "bleed off" my punch this way."

This is not a coincidence that we said the same things. It is axiomic martial effectiveness - if the other arm can punch you, you failed... unless you are lucky.

I've used fancy under the arm tricks before. These type of techniques go much faster when applied in real life. It sounds like your the type of person that plans a fight out, that dont work my friend

lol corny XD

Know very little about Aikido,but i personally do not like this particular technique.

Also, this guy leaves his side wide exposed for a follow-up punch. That's not how you meet the hook punch energy. You always deal with the attacker as an entire person, never narrowing focus on just his hand/wrist/arm etc.

The "little shock" he talks about should be his own body weight, channeled through his extended left arm, smashing his fist into the guy's chin. When his teeth are flying out, THAT'S when you bought yourself time to follow with a fancy rotation under his arm.

The problem with these clips is that they show stylized Aikido principles and present them as usable real-life technique.

Aikido can work well with fast punches, but you never grab anything, nor do you have time for body rotations. Blending with punches is a pipe dream.

The punches (more like blurs) need to be tracked starting from opponent's shoulders, slapping them away from your centerline while closing distance for a throw, and not missing opportunity to sink your weight into his elbows.

Sankyo is not useless, on the contrary...The problem of Sankyo is how you get to it and that is the hardest part. Sometimes is easy to give yourself up easily if you don't do it well. That's why I don't like the way Sankyo is prepared in this video, it leavs too open to counter attacks.

The trick is to get a good sankyo any turn or attempted punch would cause pain in execution and the sankyo is actually more effective against a more aggresive person.

No, you haven't

I've used this move in a fight, and if practiced well enough it is easy to do... the entire move takes just a few seconds

this is useless. it would be too difficult to pull off in a real fight, unless you're fighting someone who's either really drunk or completely retarded. this maneuver couldn't stop a quick, hard punch to the face.

Sankyo very much for the lesson

wow dude thnx for the lesson

I personally think that Sankyo and Nikkyo are the perfect ways to control someone. However I am not too confident on the way it is presented in this video. Uke is left too much in control of his own center and Nage open himself in front of Uke.

I guess if I was Chuck Norris I wouldn't worry either.

DOUBT IT!

Personally, I would be very worried about the knife in my attacker's other (right) hand now being stuck in my back.

How to do 3-kyo w/o grabing ?

Until one of you guys get a Black Belt in something, open a dojo, become a master,or at least have been a martial artist for a few years, shut up.

You'd never see the technique

He doesn't have to grab your wrist, its the direction of his attack that you're countering. You're LEARNING to lead him.

good but what if the person attaking has a fast requal

Usually a good martial artist won't let you grab his wrist, howevere 1-kyo,2-kyo and even 3-kyo all depends on a good grab, that is the weakness of Aikido.

I would of liked it more if he did it real time
