I like the transition to the last lock. We call it the "bride grib" as it looks like you're following your uke down the aisle at a wedding. Nice and clear instructions. Easy to follow. I really like the fact that you stress the fact not to chase a lock, but to take it when giving by the opponent. Great video.
Your videos are always done in a easy to follow and understandable way without dumbing down complex techniques. What I really like is how you always ground your explanations in science. You should however still look into investing in a clip-on mic for your sound.
Excellent instruction with some great details about sankyo that I hadn't seen before. Here's a another little sankyo trick my hapkido instructor taught me: once you've acquired the lock, step on the attacker's foot to prevent him from circling backwards to try to get out of it. Thanks for the video.
Nice to see a picture of Koizumi Sensei behind you. He was my formative judo teacher, Percy Sekine's father-in-law... as he married Koizumi's daughter Hana. Nice video, thanks.
Koizumi was my teacher’s, first teacher’s… teacher. Geoff Watts in the top right was his student. He continues to be a profound influence in what we do day to day in the dojo.
Another detail that you may have said and I just missed..... keep the wrist directly below the elbow and the elbow bent at 90 degrees or less (keep the elbow above shoulder height) in order to prevent releasing pressure on the locked joint, maintain maximum torque, and to lock the shoulder joint. I tend to trap the attackers' hand on my chest and rotate while moving behind them and into their body staying very close to give me more torque and leave the attacker nowhere to spin. Also, a way to describe the proper hand movement that I like to use is "revving a motorcycle throttle".. a visualization that most people tend to get. Keep up the videos.
The position and angle of the arm are all crucial otherwise your opponent can move to freely and power down the lock. I use the revving the motorbike as well but more commonly with other locks. Really glad you enjoyed the video.
It can be done both way depending on position, angle and leverage from which you apply the technique. My preference is always straight but sometimes an opponents counter can force it into a bent position
That’s a great question, there are a few ways but often what it does is the threat forces a sharp response from your opponent and it is that which I would advise capitalising on. I may do a video on that in the future 👍🏻
@@DanielPyatt that is true. i understand it is ultimately best to chain one sub or sweep into another. but really want to be able to apply the sankyo in grappling scenario. it look like such an awesome form of control
Sankyo is a good technique, but not from a punch. It is highly unlikely you'll ever trap a punch like that. The better options are from grappling positions for use of sankyo.
this is by far one of Aikido's most effective moves and you do an xlnt job in explaining it
Thank you 👍 I agree once a secure grip is established this technique is superb but the trick is establishing that secure grip 😉

Cheers NinjaDane, I'm really glad you enjoyed it and love the bride grib name lol

Clip on mic is on birthday present list ;), thank you for support of the channel

Hey Karazenpo, I'm really glad you liked it and found it valuable. Stepping on the foot is also nice trick.

Id be really interested to see your breakdown of the nikyo/z lock and its various options in a video one day 🤞
I will do this one day with a full instructional on wrist locks it’s just a matter of time, will cover a shorter video on Nikyo soon 👍🏻
@@DanielPyatt Awesome. I love how you cover the variations and entries, it always gives me new ideas. Thanks for the content
@@ASHJBKH2 it’s my pleasure and I’m glad it helps
Very good explanation..... thank you
do you bend the opponent wrist when you apply sankyo or should it be almost straight and twisted?
It can be done both way depending on position, angle and leverage from which you apply the technique. My preference is always straight but sometimes an opponents counter can force it into a bent position
Can you do this during sparring?
Aikido doesn't spar. They think they're too good
😂
How can i setup and catch sankyo in jiu jitsu grappling?

I agree, the percentages substantially increase from a grappling range, but this is primarily for the purposes of introduction and simplicity
