Okay, how do you keep the joint lock from happening on YOU? What if it's too late for a quick release and you're got? Any Hapkidoin have any good counters?

BlackCatBonz said:another interesting point about joint locks......more often than not, when the lock is applied the affected limb is being taken away from the centreline of your body.
if you were to take a look at nikkyo (not sure of the korean term), have someone apply the lock firmly so that it is causing you some discomfort and experiment with repositioning your body to bring your hand back into your centre. it might sound complicated, but it is quite easy.
BlackCatBonz said:your hand is indeed removed from the centreline regardless if you keep it in front of the body.
you have, in effect, pronated the forearm beyond its effective range of motion. even if this lock is applied quickly and effectively, it is still quite easy to get out of, all that is required is a realignment of your body.
while it may seem impossible while the pressure is on causing intense pain, its a skill that should be practiced and one that was practiced often in the first system i studied.
Andrew Green said:Every lock has it's own set of escapes, and good ones have a point where you are stuck and tap.
First you prevent them from getting the opportunity to attempt the lock.
If that fails you read the lock they are doing and set up your escape as they set up the lock. .

If that fails you read the lock they are doing and set up your escape as they set up the lock. (ex They are going for a armbar, you put your other hand on your head)
Failing that you stall completition until you can set up an escape (ex. grab hands together in a armbar) of course this opens up other options for them as well that you need to be aware of.
And if that fails you hope they made a technical error in their lock which gives you a escape (ex not pinching knees together on that armbar)
But the real trick lies in knowing what they are doing and what they need to have in order to do it and what the weaknesses of it are. Prevent one step and you prevent the lock. If you don't know the steps that is rather difficult though.
