It was great to run across this video. Although my Aikido instructor showed me a similar way of ¨avoiding¨ a Full Nelson, I was previously unaware of how to actually get out of this hold if it´s successfully applied. Thank you for sharing, guys!
Always wondered about that very wrestling move vs. Aikido. Seems there ought to be some way to throw the attacker though when it is being applied, perhaps going with the pressure to the back of the head, bowing forward and then _______ ?
On further reflection, the traditional karate response to getting out of a full Nelson is an elbow strike into the attack's abdomen (I sometimes have seen where this is done while the victim counters the pressure to the back of their head by pushing with their own hands against their forehead just before delivering the strike) or a stomp to the attacker's foot. The arms are then thrown down and forward hard, fully breaking the hold. Seems at that point an Aikidoka should be able to spin around 180 degrees and deliver some kind of throw or fall, or apply a hold/lock to the attacker while the attacker is standing there with their arms aloft. ?
Once my friends and I were practicing second technique, but turns out if I squeeze while they re going down, and hold myself up, they dont get out, and are in a worse position. One suggested strike with the rear, as the whole body is a weapon. Then another came up with a reason why it wouldnt work, but for it to not work, the one doing the full nelson would have to see it coming, which is rarely the case. another thing we thought of was kick the knees.
Attacks from behind are difficult to defend at best. Situational awareness and keeping your back to a wall will prevent the lion's share of them. Otherwise, practice, practice and yet more practice.
That is two of the three way I was taught to escape a FULL Nelson.Which is what Azu was doing. A half Nelson, they have one arm under your arm and on the back of your neck. They have your other arm lifted up behind your back or hooked at the elbow. Great stuff anyway.
In my language a full Nelson is called a double Nelson for some reason, but the other ones are still called half Nelson and quarter Nelson. It's strange.
Trying to grab a finger and then bending/pulling it hard to inflict pain or even break it, is a viable option, but should be trained a bit, since hands can be swaety and slippery, the fingers can be at different positions etc. But relaxing and slipping through is bad advice, you basically lower your head to the hight of your opponents knee, leave your head unprotected from strikes from above. Furthermore it won't go smoothly and you opponent will have more than enough time to react to just deal with whatever you folowing move is. You are in a squatting position, so a simple shove from the opponent in your back will result in you falling forwards or even kissing the floor. Your only hope to pull this off is hitting your opponents groin without looking where to aim, while he can still move - and that's just too risky. I have seen people grabbing their opponents hair while in the hold and then pretty much fall and pullw ith all their weight on it, never tested that myself but it did seem to work. One more extreme method is to gouge the eyes with your thumbs while in the hold - IF you are limber enough to bend your arms that far.
Drop your body weight down sharply step to the side elbow to groin and take back of both legs with both hands reaping both legs forcing the attackers back or head into concrete
The first one is bullshit. I learned it from Aikido and tried it and ended up embarassing myself. If someone grabs you too tightly, lifting your arms does nothing, your shoulder blades are wide enough for them to keep on clinging to you.

You do know that in a real Full Nelson, the hands push the head forward to create the stretch on the neck/spine, right?

Your supposed to push there head down to stretch the spine and if you they resist at all it won't work
This is exactly what my uncle told me who won multiple martial art tournaments in the state im in lol 😂 funny seeing this
This is great I love watching you guys😂
+Fernando Ponce thanks

+Walter Strong Absolutely true
Yea I tried that doesn't work with a live situation or even like 20% resistance
That's because most people.know those tricks, when applying a full nelson never overlap fingers better off grasping hands
Thank you. And now my wife will stop taking my got dam money on Fridays
That is not a Half Nelson, that is a Full Nelson
This was VERY helpful....you have no idea-
He demos both, how do you not notice that? Maybe 3 yrs later you’ll see ... better.
@@Loyalki My likes say differently.
Great video
Amazing! Thanks!!!
Love the drop out, I'm small; I need it!

+Jeff Gibson thanks for that Jeff
Good idea for the next video!

Great advice.
Y’all crack me up. I forgot I was here to learn something though.
Dang it
Dumbass...
1:39 ..... this has never occured to me :-)

watch the ju jistu escape for it
Lol
awesome video! have seen many different full nelson escapes, but I had never thought of this! Really good job :)
Drop your body weight down sharply step to the side elbow to groin and take back of both legs with both hands reaping both legs forcing the attackers back or head into concrete
this demonstrates a shocking lack of knowledge about a very common move , scary really .
Or a common mistake, which all of us make. I've said Beethoven when I meant to say Bach. Even more so when English is not your first language.
1:57 won't work all of the time cuz a person who knows to do a full nelson properly would do an s-lock with their hands
Great !!!
how do you do this?
Do people do the nelson anymore :-)
Bobby lashley does
Love your videos, but isn't that a full nelson?
Oh yes it is :-) my bad
the black dude look like BHD when he laughs
I think the best move and the easiest is to take one of the fingers and pull it back
kungtony just kick them in the shin
Why do you call it a half Nelson when it's a full Nelson you are showing?
@Drew Mcyntire there I go
You lucky, got the triple-7 likes qnd 69 dislikes
Both arms around his arms and press them together with your hands.

Nope! Wrong! Place your body and leg behind the attacker and put your weigh against him and he falls easily. Despite his size and strength
OMG 🤣😂
1:41 don’t do this, it doesn’t work.
lol gtfoutta here
the name is full nelson, btw dropping to the floor is VERY dangerous specially if they put any pressure on it. DON'T TRY THAT.
This video should be label "what not to do when in half Nelson lock". Do what this guy is telling you and you will be hurt seriously.
Angel Núnez Do you even have any knowledge of Aikido?
smh
This is some bad advice :(
Not bad advice it's advice that's been out there a long time that's all
no work for me.... sucks
This will not work that's not how you get out of that hold
