Abernathy is so knowledgeable. I love how he takes karate and makes it “MMA”. For real, he emphasizes throws, locks, and the traditional punching and kicking. He has really studied.
That wrist lock takedown with the thumbs on the opponent’s wrist is seen in Kihon Kumite #5. Excellent demonstration of the techniques with practical implications and options. Thank you, Sensei Iain!
Very useful. I like your point that "flow" only happens when you fail! Practice flow ...then practice breaking the flow to strike after each lock. Strike to set up a lock, lock to set up a strike. Interesting how that works.
There’s missing one. This is the same what Ilpo Jalamo is teaching plus that one what is missing in this video. We have in Yuishinkai this kind of drills quite many. Interesting.
You might wanna mention on striking before locking because we need that gap in real fight, he still have conscious so it's hard to use joint locking techniques and people gonna misunderstanding about it.
An important point and it was covered on the day … as per the description of this video: “Viewers should remember that this is a short clip from a full weekend of training. It cannot show all that was covered nor how the drill shown fits within the total methodology. The context for the practical use of the techniques shown, and the inherent problems associated with the application of certain types of lock, had already been covered.”
It’s not a technique or a combination to be applied “as is” in combat, but a drill to help the student familiarize themselves with the way the joints of the arm interact. That’s mentioned in the video and the text that goes with it: “Viewers should remember that this is a short clip from a full weekend of training. It cannot show all that was covered nor how the drill shown fits within the total methodology. The context for the practical use of the techniques shown, and the inherent problems associated with the application of certain types of lock, had already been covered.” I hope that helps clarify. All the best, Iain
+Juan Manuel He personally does Wado Ryu. However, he has expressed many times that there are no styles in karate. Same basic kata base, same idea with minor differences. I like this approach much better. Sometimes, there is as much difference between Shorin ryu practictioners in Okinawa as there are differences between "styles." And there should be differences.

Great video. I'd love to attend one of your seminars some time.
Finally someone do these kind of videos. I hate when smartass ones try to act smart about bunkai or tradition training.
Great Stuff Iain. A nice short drill and well explained.
Beautifully done. Great drill.
One of my fav videos

Don't mess with Iain :D
this is shoryn ryu?
+Juan Manuel He references heian shodan and other Shotokan forms. Regardless, these joint flows exist in many systems.
