Video of aikido techniques against full resistance

[Kung Fu Wang]

Why lock when you can choke?

Regular head lock is good for throw. It's not good for chock. Reverse head lock and Backward head lock can be good for choke.

But in most MA, we usually want this "mechanism" frozen - our hips locked, and the waist unbent to give us a stable structure. When your opponent is in this condition, getting your hand around the back of his head will not give control of the body - his structure is too strong even if you pull on his head.

For head control to work (like other stand-up grappling moves), his structure has to first be broken/unfrozen.

I use this against opponents moving toward me because it works even better that way. The harder they attack, the easier they are to control. Fortunately for me, most people take backwards movement as a weakness for their opponent and will move in because they feel they have the advantage. This concept actually comes up more often than we might realize.

I like this one even better in terms of Aikido

I can't speak for Aikido, but the reason evasion and blending (sometimes) work in Sumo is because of a strong root and meeting force with force is the norm. When you expect to meet strong resistance that you have to overcome, then you can get caught by an opponent who vanishes from in front of you and adds his force to yours. But if you know that your opponent is just going to try dodging out of the way, then it's easier to force him out of the ring.

This is the "Sumo like concept" That I used to train The color carpet square were used to make a boundary. Push, pull, kick, punch your opponent out of the ring was the goal. My opponent here is a brawler so his entire solution was "Throw force at it."

Some (not you) may think one can just initially go for head control or joint lock, but we know it's seldom that easy. Chin Na master, Zhao Da Yuan wrote, "...in a fight it is impossible to grab an opponent and apply Chin Na directly..." Some initial "tenderizing" is normally required. Just thought this point worth stressing.

"Initially go for head control or joint lock" This is probably the norm to be honest. Not just for Chin Na but for other techniques as well. The concept of set up or "tenderizing" is probably an advanced mind set.

Thank you.

Chin na as I see it gives us additional off ramps from familiar roads.

Additionally, if you have affinity ( not necessarily skill ) for these things like I do, you start creating set ups for common entries. They really work best on people that haven’t seen them. These techniques are very dependent on body type and size/length of limb and none can be accomplished without set up or contact from the opponent.

I really want to see the video for that last image.

"Initially go for head control or joint lock" This is probably the norm to be honest.

A lot of stuff looks easy in the movies (or bogus MA demos). Just grab the guy and he flips over. Actually, that IS the easy part. The hard part is getting yourself and the opponent into position to effectively apply the move. I think this takes at least as much, if not more skill, than the actual technique execution. When I was flipping houses, I learned the secret to a good paint job is the prep - proper tarps, taping, removing wall plates and door handles, etc. It's major work, but once all that is done, the slapping on paint part is easy.

When your opponent punches at you, if you can wrap his punching arm, you can use a hook punch to hit the back of his head, alone with a head lock and leg block throw.
