Is this hapkido instructor’s joint lock defense actually effective?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

He's claiming that simply reinforcing your wrist with the other hand stops joint locks.

I know first-hand that it does not. I have been tapped out by wrist locks probably several thousand times, and I have tapped out other people hundreds if not thouseands of times.

Real teacher is here:

Watch how effortlessly he buckles his partner's knees. This is what is SUPPOSED to be happening in MMA, butyou never see it because it is either banned in some cases, or because the people in MMA have not been trained properly.

It's good that he showed some of the locks are both a compressive/bending motion and a twisting motion in one technique. If you are only "either/or" the lock won't work as well. If you get both planes of motion correct, the lock instantly buckles the other person's knees.

Of course, they are now off-balance and you have a balance point, so you can now deliver knees to their face or body as they are off-balance and possibly already tapping.

This instructor has a Gracie BJJ black belt, but went back to JJJ joint locks, because he finds them more practical than the BJJ stuff.

[AI Opinion]

You’re right to be skeptical. Just “reinforcing your wrist” with the other hand doesn’t magically stop a properly applied joint lock.

In real grappling, once the structure of the joint is compromised and your balance is broken, that two-hand brace collapses quickly. Good locks attack the whole kinetic chain: wrist, elbow, shoulder, posture, and base. That’s why you get easy taps in live rolling, yet flashy “defenses” look great only on compliant partners. 💪🏻🥋

Bhy the way, the third video above has examples of Good Framing, while Israel Adesanya is incompetent at Framing.

Real Japanese Ju Jitsu for no rules combat.

I'm not sure, but I know that Hapkido has some very efficient techniques. The problem is not in Hapkido, problem is in the alleged instructor (many fakes).

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Hapkido is a good art, no doubt about that, but what the guy in the first video was claiming is just bogus. If it was that simple to stop real joint locks, nobody in all the JJJ schools would be practicing them.

I was my sensei's demonstration partner for 4 years, and I guarantee you if he put a joint lock on you, you were tapping out instantly.

I get it, the guy in the first video was probably a fraud.

Here are some more locks, which are mostly elbow and shoulder locks, so not effected by tape or gloves. these are also very rarely seen in MMA, even though they work beautifully. This is how to ground your opponent and tap them out from the Standing Position.

There's a lot of fake videos on YouTube of people who promote bs martial arts.
