People who say these techniques don't have a real-world application, think of this: if some inexperienced, most-likely intoxicated assailant tries to shove you around, grabbing the guy and locking some joints to throw him is going to get him at least into a controllable position, especially when combined with basic ground control, perhaps from judo. Of course, there is no all-around perfect martial art, but an inexperienced assailant will be taken down by even the most basic of lock-throws.
I love hapkido first martial art I feel in love with. I took for a while an gym closed. It’s a great art but hard to find. I now take Filipino martial arts an learning wrist locks an arm bars has helped me in many fights. Mainly because the master had us attack an resist. Anyone that has access to a hapkido school should go it is a great from of self defense.
@Tariq Waseem Different Art with different history. I know it's hearsay but there's a lot of Akiodo techniques mixed into Hapkido - can't really do a apples to apples comparison
@@XXX3155 what you don’t seem to understand is that aikido , judo, jujitsu hapkido all have the same origin. Aikijutsu. Hapkido is Aikijutsu, Aikijutsu is Hapkido. Hapkido is just the Korean name that a Korean, taken slave by Japanese during WW2 gave to aikijutsu . But yes in fact all aikido are hapkido techniques. But aikido does not have all of hapkido or aikijutsu as aikido is modified to reduce harm to the opponent. Aikijutsu and hapkido are like karate and taekwondo plus judo and jujitsu combined. Comprehensive and it takes a long time and hard work to learn such a comprehensive martial art. Many instructors only learn part of it and that’s what changes things over time. Judo is a specialized form of aikijutsu created for Japanese police by jigoro kano and developed in a great martial sport that has self defense application of course. Taekwondo is just part of Hapkido Koreans used to nationalize their aspect of a martial art that has developed in to a great martial sport that has self defense application. Jujitsu is a form of aikijutsu that focused on the grappling and ground work aspect that is now a sport and has self defense application. Hapkido and Aikijutsu are all of those combined.
Everything looks great in a compliant demonstration. Pressure test everything. Hapkido actually contains many traditional judo throws, they are much higher percentage in sparring than the aikido type techniques.
Pressure test ? I hope you know that this video only shows a fraction of what I could do. 🙏 Hapkido isn’t a forgivable martial art, IMHO if you take a real pressure test I think you would not be happy with the result. Why? Because an authentic Hapkidoist will not give you a chance to tap out:) Remember Hapkido uses combination of all such as fist strikes, kicks, joint locks AND ground grappling. Don’t get me wrong I am not saying I am invincible!!! By the way, If you would like to visit my academy please do I will let you have experience the world of authentic Hapkido. I am not kidding. Thank you for the comment
@@hapkidouniversity3954 Irrelevant Sir, you don't seem to understand what pressure testing is... Brazilian Jiu Jitsu trains regularly with fully resisting partners in non rehearsed formats... Traditional Martial Arts of all kinds are too complacent working with compliant partners that make you look good... If you are unfamiliar with this problem you need to get out more look outside your Dojang more, watch more videos... Try doing your moves on a trained fighter who is resisting and if you think it will be the same you're deluding yourself.... Let's see your students sparring other students and others who are trained fighters...or just fully resisting strong people... This isn't about you and your style it's about all styles that spend too much time training with COMPLIANT partners who know what they are supposed to do and how they are supposed to react... This is why traditional martial arts are losing respect among those who actually fight -- it's time to move into the 21st century for ALL traditional martial arts...
@@trondyne3513 I can tell you only two things Sir, # 1. I also do train Bjj so I knew what they are doing every day. 😉 # 2 I don’t think you have had met a real old school traditional martial artist yet. Although I understand what you meant about typical traditional martial artists. 🙏
@@hapkidouniversity3954 The people that say "It only works with compliant people in a demonstration" are idiots. They don't understand what 'teaching' a technique is. I have not taken Hapkido, but I have a been in Krav Maga for years. I am about to test for my level 6. Anyway, I will never forget when a bunch of jokers came in saying "This only works with compliant students." My teacher got them in the center of the studio, and told them to come at him full on, whatever they wanted to do. They did, and it was hilarious watching their attitudes completely change when they were on the ground, in pain, within seconds.
You what you see is simple of depth behind Hapkido. Boxing and judo has rules it is sport so wining is base on Rules Hapkido goal is to illuminate opponent as quickly in direct way. Other two arts is limited like Boxing is great but punishing to cause end of battle. Hapkido has Judo blocks that cannot be used in contest. Understand what Hapkido as art to spend your valuable of TIME. Be clear what do you WANT is key to decide what do you want to develop with mind, body and breath. Hapkido has all three to be refine in self defenses. Developing boxing and Judo is great both are physical and challenges.
@@Supermomo2007 Kung Fu is great in weapon range of training. Question is what style of Kung Fu you point too that would add value to Hapkido. What I have seen over the years is Hapkido techniques concepts being incorporated into Kung Fu training. Kung Fu softness and speed is very good but impact is not as hard compared to basic Hapkido punish. The area of Kung Fu few master is energy flow disruption abilities that is hard to deal with in a fight. You have to focus on your own energy since it being attacked more than body that is very disorienting when your fighting someone if not trained to deal with both internal and external force attack. That adds value to Hapkido increase effectiveness lot. That is Ki or Chi development and use in a fight. Believe it or not Hapkido does focus on Ki energy in different way that is why Ki is in center point to it training but few want to focus on KI to very high level where Kung Fu is base on it to be effective. All energy force ideas both in Hapkido and Kung Fu are rooted in Qi or Chi Gong understanding and practice. How and for what purpose do you shape your Ki energy and how much of it do want to be part of your movement force. There is both hard and soft development in Hapkido. Hapkido plays between them very affectivity. Hapkido came about after world war 2 and is base on Japans style are will as China and Korean only style of kicking that even greater then Chineses forms in being effective. There are over 3000 techniques in Hapkido between striking (Not just punishing) throwing, twisting kicking all blended together as one form. I like the balance between offense and defense as one action in time. You attack to defend and defend to attack. In my view it has best range of abilities to defend one self as you get older. The simple action with destruction abilities is key to Hapkido philosophy. The Koreans took best kicking form their own blended with best throwing force with strikes NOT just punish. For me you strike to throw or twist. The joint locks are great and painful. They tested in life all the masters that created the foundation of Hapkido style. Mastering the techniques is just fun for you have to know but feeling the effects on the other person. It very feeling development to do Hapkido as will as Kung Fu but what Martial Art has the greatest range of Techniques to address issues is question Hapkido has range that it. Anyone that pick their martial art training is judges for them self what they want to development in a person way that is the choice in Martial arts. Have a good day
@@Qitrainer i practice hung gar kung fu. It is a hard style which going soft. We have sparring/sanda. Any internal chinese style could add hapkido to their arsenal
@@Supermomo2007 Thanks for conversation about Martial arts. Your form is hard form base on Animals styles of monks which straighten leges and body to take impact to the body. If you enjoy this form have a good time because it condition the person. Hapkido is very different and has strengthening but base on different approach to defend one self. It matter if you want to develop physical and mentally as self defense. My self Hung gar Kung Fu would not work for me. The conditioning of that martial art I cannot do physically. Given the types of blocks and movement against someone requires lot of training in form my body cannot stand. Hapkido is very close contact Martial art for I want someone to grab me I want to be close. I have range of responses to take the person out not just strikes or strength. I love the circle Hapkido ideas in Practice to change force and redirect. There is NO redirection in Hung Gar but lot of strength. Hapkido is a very flowing art and NO stances exist in hapkido. What I like is taking on 3 people at the same time. Hapkido has that range of develop. How do you approach taking on 3 attackers at the same time. Hapkido base on techniques in the system to address them. I like the ability in Hapkido system to take on 3 attackers. Keep up the good work in your martial arts and have a good day. The two style are very different and challenging to good.
i used to practice silat some of the joint lock in hapkido is similliar with the silat that i've trained. but i found tbe flaw within this kind of drill and practice. most of the time when doing drills we end doing some compliance drill we never used our strength to fight back. so one day i ask my master to drill with strenght to fight back. the technique still doable, but not as easy as compliance drill. many of traditional martial arts gym still use this compliance drill, even tho they already know that the enemy won't comply and fight back.
Riri Swan I fully understand your point. Please remember you MUST learn to crawl before you walk. Plus if you are in a real life situation you have to adopt to the situation so you just can’t always rely on gym practice items. When it comes down to the street survival “anything goes” If you made back to your home safely then you will be the winner of the battle. ✌️
True but this goes for most classical martial arts defence systems . But if you know what your doing most or at least some of the techniques are effective when done in a realistic practical way .. The problem is not always the techniques but the way they train .. You can train all the techniques you want but if you never ever been in a fight you won't be able to use them effective. Also most old school martial arts systems punch in old ways only Straith punches ...no good boxing ectra . Certain blocks and parry's that they use are not fit for someone who has good boxing 🥊 Lots of techniques are good when you need to defend against someone who does not know how to fight . But now are days martial arts combat is so big and you can find a gym everywhere then there is youtube you can find every system style way of fighting now are days . People by now know how to throw a proper punch or kick back in the days that was different ..
@@ryufight7987 You're right. You should only learn hapkido when you've already done some boxing and grappling. But it will take years to get to learn the few good joint manipulations. The kicks are simple and effective too. The rest cannot be called "fighting".
Depends on which techniques you are using... often the most simplest onces are the most effective (wrist lock). However it also depends on how you are attacked... Luckily I have never had to use my practice in real life..
The joint locks are very painful. Takes a lot of practice its a real art used to work out with master chin lee here in rosemead Calif. Sorry to say he's retired a very good friend and teacher. He was master in Galileo.
I’ve been thinking of talking to our students maybe have a small class on anti bullying and self defense is there something I should say and talk about or anything I should not say or talk about
Other than bullshito I've NEVER seen a useless martial art or system. THEY ALL WORK only as good as you do. No art or system ever won a match or a fight. The practitioners did. OSU and respect for Sabumnim 🙏🏼🐉🐅
The key to some of these techniques in a real fight is timing and the element of surprise, most times you'd have to injure your opponent before you'd be able to destroy a joint. Situations do vary. In a self defense situation I'd advise going for soft spots, inside of the mouth, eyes, throat ect. Just recently I had to get someone off of me who out weighed me pretty good, it only took seconds.
Inside the mouth? Why risk that? Timing is the hardest thing to learn and do. These moves/holds would require great timing to pull off, therefore they are inefficient.
@@eclipsewrecker it seemed neccessary at the moment and it worked, I jammed my thumb into the inside of his cheek bypassing his teeth as if I was trying to tear it and at the same time with the left hand applied pressure like a vice grip to his neck and pushed him up off of me.
I'd have been dead wrong to take to his eyes with that amount of pressure. Dead wrong in someone else's eye that is. I dont tolerate hands being put on me I strike back.
@@eclipsewrecker I misread you're question, I'm still quite irritated even though it's somewhat old news. Inside of the mouth to try and tear the cheek is why. It works. I can't be tussling and wrestling with no big goons I have to adjust accordingly. Hurt them hard and fast. If it wasnt for him being someone that I considered close he'd have gotten broken off something sick. I can't stand people man.
How about you go find a place to have a firsthand experience? What you see in the video isn’t everything what he knew, by the way, martial art isn’t all about fighting or who / such style is better... If your wishful goal is want to beat every style of martial artist then you should carry a gun that is much more rational idea. 🙏
not to try to beat other martial arts but at least have a more realistic attack - yes I know it's a demo but WHO grabs a wrist - it's like aikido. A hapkido practitioner I know teaches grabbing and twisting a punch attack - I told him yet to do this technique to ANY of his adult students who are really trying - and he couldn't do it - not once out of 7 students who tried to punch an inch in front of his face.
I did hapkido for a few months while I was in Korea. The actual competiton is brutal, like we're talking somewhat dangerous. That goes without saying you're not going to use everything you learn, there's a lot of things in Hapkido that can cause some serious permanent damage if you're not careful, there's a lot of joint locks that you have to be really careful. These people that are tapping and grunting in pain in the video are actually feeling a ton of pain - part of the training is that you have to feel the pain of having the technique be applied to you. The simplest stuff doesn't hurt but man, take on some of the advanced locks and it's hard to stand (like you saw in that video). As for you kickboxing comparison, there's knee strikes, elbow strikes, and kicks. On top of it landing techniques and throws. Basically, Hapkido kept a lot of the Korean martial techniques and didn't water it down like TaeKwonDo Just a quick edit, if you're going to be in striking distance you're going to be striking back - a lot of those defensive techniques are never applied and are just there to get used to using it. Most likely, you'll use the locks in a different situation
@@gomergilligan4374 in most fights they do grab the wrist they also grab the collar. If you want to be realistic about it they don't think they just go to the nearest thing they can grab.
Of course:) don’t you know this video is for an instructional purpose ? Can you imagine if I post a video with content of knocking someone out ? Do you think that is appropriate? Being curious about something is alright and speculation to a different circumstance is also fine too BUT you must know that single instructional video couldn’t give no one to fully satisfied BECAUSE no one got killed or knocked out in the video, do you understand what I am talking about ? Please don’t be a singular minded thinker, think three dimensionally. 🙏
Well you notice they give way and fall down those joint locks are painful anyway this is a demo. Its a real art I used to work out with master chin lee.
@@cat-lw6kq yes, those incidents happen too. Im not saying these arts i mentioned are bs. They are legit and can work, but are they effective in a fight? The answer would be no. There is a reason why Jigoro Kano created Judo by eliminating or deemphasizing ineffective techniques and replacing them with practical fighting system. Judo defeated all jujutsu styles afterwards.
At first glance, these self defense techniques look more practical for self defense than many traditional karate techniques. Definitely not likely that your going to be able to get a wrist lock in a street fight though. I wonder what they would look like with a fully resisting / non compliant partner.
Aikido only works against people who don't know how to fight .or against people who like to push you around . Their locks with the exeption of a few elements are pure show ... A joint lock should be done close to the body and not in those movielike ways aikido does it .
Alguém disse certa vez que saco de pancada não revida...Gostaria que os ataques dessa demonstração de técnicas fossem reais, daria mais credibilidade à eficiência da arte marcial.
lol. Then why did you even watch this video ? I bet you didn’t even watch it entirely. If you really wanted to know about this instructor please come visit us and ask any questions or try what you know, right there then you would learn something. Please remember what you saw in this video isn’t everything what he could do in the street AND. in fact as for the street self defense there is no rules in the street , anything goes is the rules. Don’t ever think that you know more than everyone, again be humble.
Yeah it really depends on the school and instructor. I just started hapkido but the hwalmoodo version. We pair it with kickboxing and learn things like double leg takedowns and the triangle choke
orx orx If I have an opportunity without any legal obligation afterward I will do it in a heartbeat. Hey champion you better know that the resulting situation won’t be like this video if I engage in a real situation. Remember this video is for instruction purpose only, so the reality applications are much different and fast ending. Peace !
Those slick little hand moves may work on a person with slow reflexes, or isn't a very good fighter---but against a quick, strong, and aggressive dude---Not so much. Ya' really need to have a good, Punch--Kick arsenal.

Oh I understand what you meant. Please come visit my gym I will let you feel more than you could ever imagine and plus bonus items, so you would never forget the experience through the rest of your life. Of course you can go really wild if you want to, so you could make the situation more realistic. Certainly I am not kidding. 🙏
heisenberg walter I fully understand your point. I guess you have no idea that this video is “breakdown instruction” and also it is a very small portion of comprehensive techniques. Let me respectfully give you an offer how about you visit my gym and try me like you are a bad ass in the street ? ( If your age is under 21 please stay home and do your home work ) Don’t get me wrong I didn’t say I am an invincible man who can fight and.win against anyone.

@@hapkidouniversity3954 perfectly pointed out. I am a guy who trained in Takkyeon 1year and karate for 3 year. It really helps me when it comes defending my self. Personal experience and accounts 😉

Great idea, would you please visit our gym ? So I can demonstrate the techniques while you resisting ? I will make sure the techniques that what I will be showing are all reality based, I think you will like them all. I am not kidding. 🙏
@@hapkidouniversity3954 where are you located? I train bjj, catch wrestling, kickboxing and pretty much mma. I would be interested in seeing if these techniques actually work. I do mostly mma honestly because it is fun. A bunch of the guys I train with fight amateur and pro mma. Then you have the bjj group that compete all the time. 4 guys I train with had their kickboxing fights canceled last month due to covid. That was some good sparring leading up to that. So I am open to trying new styles. There are standing wrist locks I use with the gi and I know securing them is not as easy as grabbing a hand or wrist. You have to secure the elbow or you cant get the proper leverage or they just get away. Its kind of like arm drags you have to block their lead leg or they can get away. I would be interested depending on where you are located.
@@shawnmartin1306 Dude, you're asking for a lot of pain, I'm being dead serious. These guys actually train where if you're on the receiving end you have to feel what it's like to have it applied to you. From that comment they replied to, I don't think they're going to use cookie cutter techniques but actual ones. A point of reference because you train MMA. You know it's illegal to do small joint locks right - it's mainly because it's really dangerous for the person on the receiving end. These guys specifically train on small joint locks like Krav Maga - seriously, don't unless you're willing to be put under a lot of pain
@@XXX3155 if you only knew how much I have been through already lol I do bjj competitions too. I know how small joint locks work. I wrist locked the piss out of this guy in nogi before during live 110% competition. Pretty sure he couldn't use it for a while. Just off top of my head injuries in just last 2 years for example: Hyper extended fingers numberous that had to tape fingers together so I could use them, popped right knee from hip lock, right calf popped, left rotator cuff, jammed thumb shooting a double off knee cap, got caught in Marcello Guliotinne that made my throat sore for a month, deviated and broken septum that required surgery, lots of bruising on shins (I like to go no shin guards sometimes for the bone on bone contact with some guys that fight K1 rules), took hard knee to liver that hurt for 6 months and I could go on. That stuff doesn't really worry me. It is whatever to me because I can do that stuff right back to guys. My right knee is still sore from leg lock seminar last weekend lol Going with purple, brown and black belts in bjj each week I am not really worried. Sparring with my buddies that fight amateur and pro mma hurts plenty. I cant tell you how many times I got destroyed. The thing is I keep coming back because I enjoy learning new things. That is why I said I would be interested if there is some technique I could learn from this place. I know what it is like going to other schools and having a target on your back. Like I said though I am positive I have been through worse and I am not the complete novice. Add to that I can move pretty well for 6'1 280 pretty solid. I try not to use size and strength too much though because I prefer the technique. I really just dont see a lot of those moves working against someone who has trained in grappling arts and kickboxing. Obvisously I wouldn't be a dick about it though. Not going to unload on someone just because. Small joint locks are 100% allowed in nogi bjj tournaments. I understand how they work. Thats why I was saying I seriously doubt that you would hit those going live. The way he showed them at least.
@@shawnmartin1306 Ah, I see what you mean. You're obviously not one of those MMA meat heads. Yeah you're probably going to fit in nicely with them than. You might be more interested in the other aspects - they do fall training, throwing, and striking that might be more of an interest if you're trying to broaden your scope
