Wrist Locks in JKD | Aikido vs JKD 

Man this is a great video, that bald guy is just so cool. Aikido is fun to train and Ed's editing skills highlight Sensei JD's slapping skills.

This is by far your best video Ed. Me getting to slap you on camera, what more could youtube ask for. I mean you did hit me with a frogger punch, symbols smack, and countless toy Sao hits. 🤪

And here I was waxing poetic about Larry on a couple of your other videos. Love to see it!

Great video. I remember my uncle Mark Sito Sr. discussing the practical application in pugilism of Aikido. Cool.

Anytime you use the words "lock flow" in a Jeet Kune Do setting, you're actually talking about a Filipino Kali training method using locks from a mix of arts... keep in mind that locking (like disarming), "should be incidental if not accidental", a phrase which I'm sure you both repeatedly heard before... it's imperative to first "gain an attachment" before implementing the lock whether that comes from them "committing" to you or you forcing the attachment

Great video guys! Thank you!

Ed I really enjoyed the video I am about 5 months away from my black belt test at the JKD school I attend in Mississippi. I came here from Florida 3 years ago after doing private study in Isshinryu. My sensei in Isshinryu is married to a woman who years ago was Segal's housekeeper. She is a martial artist in her own right as well and she showed my wife and I some moves that Segal had taught her. I totally agree with you he has gotten a bunch of hate in recent years. But I digress. I was taught traditional Isshinryu not sporterized karate and we have wristlocks that look very similar to stuff you did in this video.

Great video! My lock flow is slightly different. I would love to compare notes at some time! The two times I have used outside wrist locks in fights, they happened by hand recognizing a touch and I recognized to it. Great comment about commitment! Most people aren't Icy Mike. They over commit. A great comment about how more practical ways to train and do the movements.

I'm planning on getting a training dummy that I can practice doing joint lock, trapping, and other type of techniques. I'm going to subscribe to JD's channel 😄. Thank you for sharing ☺️.

I feel like ninjitsu and how they break balance we break balance with out pissing them off. I feel like it could help aikido

JKD is an ever evolving art if it works its worth learning.

As explained in the video, you need to bait the opponent into over-committing in order to make the aikido applicable. Ok...but, that's a big if. Also, there are innumerable other ways across all systems to deal with an over-committed punch. Sure, I can diversify my ability to finish by adding this, but it seems like an inefficient expenditure of training time to me. Maybe it makes more sense if you're building on the foundation of another Japanese system like karate or jiujitsu. But if I'm looking to add joint mobilizations to JKD, I think I might have an easier time integrating bits from Eagle Claw kung fu (just one example), Kali, or Silat than Aikido. I'm just speculating though. I think its cool the way he's trying to infuse more practicality into Aikido.

Have you seen the movie paper tigers?

Seagal is good at Aikido no doubt. alot of other aspects of his life, he's so full of shit so people think he is full of it across the board

So you know about Jeet Kune Do original and Jeet Kune Do Concepts so which one do you think I should learn which one works more

So master I made up my mind these are the fighting styles I'm going to learn and make my own Krav Maga Wing Chun Muay Thai sanda jkd yes I know what you're going to say don't repeat it just do it but hey man remember this there are no good nor bad martial arts they are all effective and work in self-defense street fighting against multiple opponents attackers you know I'm telling the truth sir here comes the second comment

Cool Stuff. Cringe with “combative aikido”. In Japanese that translates to Aikijujitsu. Which is where aikido comes from after removing the jutsu or combat element.

Another great video from Metroleum martial arts. For as much as aikido is the way of peace, it is most effective as the way of annoying people

Giggling so hard b/c I've done that before *accidentally bonk with stick* "AAAH! RUN AWAY!" If ever you're in the Phoenix metro area, drop me a line and i'd be happy to show you a locking drill my sensei called '18 grappling hands" although I only recall the first 10-11 and there're actually way more than 18 in the drill so I don't know why it's called that...

What's that? My arm? Gimme that shit.

Sifu Hartsell had many standing and ground lock flows. Some of the standing had 6, some 12, and there was a 16. Been working non documenting the different versions.

I still hear "met-roe-LEE-nuh" when I read your channel title.

How to use Aikido effectively : slap people like Nate Diaz

I would sort of caveat this with the disclaimer: if you want to defend yourself in a committed real life situation, already being good at these techniques, this is a good use of your time to make them functional. However, not knowing these beforehand, you can probably find a better use for your time, unless you find them incredibly fun to do!

JD with the Hulk Hogan Doggin and Grandstandin!

Isn't there mention in The Tao of Chin Na? Or did I read that somewhere else? In my much younger days, when I first got into JKD, something I read prompted me to buy a huge book on Chin Na to study some of their joint manipulations.

I respect everyone in the martial arts RU-vid sphere I'm subscribed to, and I would love to spar Icy Mike with MMA gloves and try to show the validity of JKD traps and locks. Much love. (I'm not saying I would win, of course, just saying I'm willing to learn of the faults of myself as well as show some of the "context" that is needed for certain techniques of JKD and Wing Chun.)

Great video bro
