Probably the LEAST effective in a street fight...lets see how this defense comes into play when someone comes at you with a beer bottle, knife, baseball bat...Its all good when someone grabs your lapels...but Come ON! The first thing people are apt to do is SWING on ya, Not GRAB your wrists...😂😂😂 Oh, and BTW? 1 YEAR of Hapkido in Yongsan Korea...😉
The one thing that bothered me is how many of these moves ended up needlessly sitting on the ground with the attacker. Makes it difficult to disengage and deal with a second attacker.
Yes , I have been studying Hapkido since 2017. You can joint opponents and throw them into another. Hapkido has many kicks and these woukd be very useful against multiple attackers.
Anything could not work "in the streets" , but I have used similar techniques in real life situations, ( with adjustments) i.e. strike first, then joint lock etc. worked out fine. Anytime you add firearms and blades to the mix, unarmed is uncertain at best. If you doubt the validity of the techniques, go to a military hapkido seminar in South Korea. Those instructors are the truth.
Hapkido and Aikdo both came from Japanese Aiki Jujitsu. Hapkido is a more realistic self defense and has more kicks and strikes as well as joint locks and throws.
Impressive throwing impressive martial art hapkido was not half bad for a cool martial art it's just like aikido in judo put together into one single powerful force if you ever tried to disarm someone holding a gun with that technique that's actually pretty cool for a self-defense technique 🥋👊😉👍🥋
I spent 6 months in a rehab center in Mexico, all the Hapkido techniques work against other martial arts I practiced. I had to face oponents in a very small hallway. And always came out unscratched. The techniques are fast and lethal. Choon Do Ryu School.
Vast majority of attacks are the so called sucker punch from ambush or letting a threat get into close range to punch or headbutt you. Hapkido is still effective if you strip out useless technique for a more practical core.
It depends on the situation. The technique you may want apply to control a drunk acquaintance is probably not the same one you’d use to fend off someone trying to knock your head off, and vice versa.
As a practitioner of JuJutsu and Judo, I see the value of Hapkido as it derives from Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu. Which is a heavy base of the art. I would love to learn Hapkido when the time is given.
I love the video, but I do have some criticisms. For one, the rear naked choke defense. Against an untrained fighter, it'll work, but against a jujitsu practitioner it probably won't. They could easily just hop onto your back and hook their legs in, and then you're in trouble. IMO, a heel strike to the shin, coupled with a groin strike or two might help in getting the opponent off of your back. If he's still holding on with his arm, an Ippon Seonage (one arm shoulder throw in Judo) will get him off of you
I respect your comment, however I think the chance of getting into a physical altercation with a trained attacker, like a BJJ or judo practitioner is pretty small. Most attackers are only well trained in their ego, not their fighting abilities. 👎
@@iainstewart423 you do have a good point. The chance of getting into an altercation with a trained fighter is slim, but you should always train as if anyone you come across is trained. That way you're better prepared for the unexpected
