Interesting Video

Although I am not aware of any Aikido sport event, it does not surprise me that some moves were watered down a bit for purposes of safety in the dojo, particularly when you thing about the sue happy culture of today

 

[Kung Fu Wang162 193]

All the locking skills should be trained in pairs and in reverse order.

- You straighten your opponent's arm, your opponent resists (he doesn't want his arm to be straight), you borrow his resistance force, bend his arm, and lock his elbow joint.
- You bend your opponent's arm, your opponent resists (he doesn't want his arm to be bent), you borrow his resistance force, straight his arm, and lock his shoulder joint.

Aikido follows this principle very well.

It's interested that we can't find many Aikido videos that show "how to counter a particular joint lock". Does anybody know why?
