JUNKYARD AIKIDO: A Practical Guide To Joint Locks, Breaks, And Manipulations

JUNKYARD AIKIDO
A Practical Guide To Joint Locks, Breaks, And Manipulations
Featuring Michael D. Janich
www.staysafemedia.com/junkyard...
Joint locking is one of the most complex, frustrating, and difficult-to-learn skill sets in the martial arts. Its practical application in self-defense is also widely misunderstood and sometimes highly overrated. When properly understood and applied, however, it can be an incredibly quick and efficient fight stopper.
Junkyard Aikido cuts through the myth and misinformation to make joint locking skills accessible to any martial artist or self-defense practitioner. Using the proven analytical style that defines his popular instructional method, Michael Janich leads you step by step through both the techniques and the concepts of combative joint locks. Starting with the fingers and progressing methodically through the wrists, elbows, shoulders and neck, Janich shows you how to use the same motions of your body against both the right and left sides of your attacker to produce different, yet highly effective locks. Many of these simple mechanics also reveal the "hidden" applications of classical martial arts technique.
Instead of throws and submissions, the applications of Junkyard Aikido focus on breaking joints and creating opportunities for disabling strikes that will decisively end a fight. It also teaches you locks as the basis for weapon strips and disarms, giving you a decisive advantage over an armed attacker.
To complete the package, Janich analyzes the weaknesses of many traditional locking methods, teaches you simple but effective counters to them, and shows you how to modify your lock technique to prevent counters.
Junkyard Aikido is a slightly irreverent, non-denominational approach to learning and applying joint locks. If you want the function without the dogma, this video is for you.

    Finally, an instructor who shows the technique in slow motion along with a coherent explanation of how to obtain the lock and then apply it. Also, I am happy to find an instructor who doesn't take a sadistic pleasure by subjecting his partner to an unnecessary degree of pain, or extreme discomfort, in order to get a few laughs from the assembled students. One of the better joint lock tutorials you will find on KZread

    That was funny. My daughters and I would practice wrist grabs, both escape and transitioning to offense. A couple of silly boys (these were all fourteen or fifteen year old kids) found that she was hard to dunk at the pool and in fact they found out the my skinny darter could "cause them to unwilling participate in their own baptism." She also understands that in an actual assault those techniques work better when preceded by a poke, palm or kick to one of several more tender targets. And our wives may be related. Mine used to grab my billy goatish beard and move me. The husband is the head of the family but the wife's the neck that turns the head. Good day.

    Why the fuk do so many women (99 percent) think that it's okay to fuking assault their man... honestly that shit needs to stop... honestly wtf gives a human being the right to assault another human being because its socially unacceptable to hit a woman no matter what they do... they can burn down your house while screaming straight into your ear while bashing your head with a ham fist... but its not okay to just put em in a rear naked but no choking just to calm them down... lol you'd get arrested and ass fucked in jail for the rest of your life LOLLLL.... Any woman reading this right now who thinks that it's okay to assault another human being just because your losing an argument and your made yourself look stupid as fuk and hes just pointing it out for you so you get mad an assault him... you need to br decked in the face and have your nose broken and then hopefully you'll learn your lesson... but most wont.. most will just get mad and blame the man for everything... never once taking responsibility for your actions... instead ur gonna cry and play the victim and do everything in your power to ruin that mans life... that's u... you're a piece of shit... dont blame the guy.. blame yourself... it's not the guys fault that u said something stupid and the guy points out that you're wrong and you have such a big ego (which u dont even know what the concept or definition of an ego is... also part of the problem... you're stupid as fuk...) that you cant stand being wrong let alone admit it and just move on... no it's too crushing for you to handle... so you gotta resort to physical violence to defend your ego... please just get over the fact you're an immature fukin cunt who will never evolve consciously and u are the spawn of satan and you must be cast back to the depths of hell from whence u spawned... please kill yourself... too many good men have been tortured enough by your kind... you're not needed... the gene pool must be cleansed of your kind... please kill yourself... it's for the betterment of MAN-kind...

    Please don't tell me people get insulted by the term "JUNKYARD AIKIDO". As a martial artist HEAVILY influenced by Aikido ( as opposed to being an Aikidoka ) I am almost inclined to be proud of that term. While working as a bouncer ( in VERY rough places ), ALL my Aikido WAS "JUNKYARD AIKIDO" no matter how hard I tried to use perfect technique.

    I have 11 of these various discs, and I see them as the most informative collection of instructional discs I have ever seen, Thank you Mr. Janich for sharing your vast knowledge. I have been practicing alone and with a co'worker for months and have joined an Aikido club so as to practice your junkyard moves in application. I do my striking on punching bags and my Hubud and other openings with strikes on my Mook Jong with an attached bamboo roll for stomps and kicks. I am particularly fond of palm strikes but also practice hammer and knife blows. After over 30 years of studying boxing I have those strikes and moves very ingrained. I take the Aikido because locally no one teaches your concepts and your applications on Aikido fascinated me. Thanks again for such a comprehensive analysis and demonstration to both you and Mr. Luke and all others in these productions. After a few weeks of Aikido I am as a flounder that finds itself in Kansas. I am becoming aware of spiral movements and how the body is made on a spiraling concept through the body, even left side-right half brain controlled, left side-right brain half controlled, Now I am trying to put this into application using the coiling body action and your techniques. Wow, so much learning I've got to simplify and get my basic plan. The fun is just beginning.

    I love how Michael explained the uses of the lock, how 'nobody is going to grab your wrist' but it's to get the motion of it, most videos just show how to do it :/ which is pretty useless, and I love his explanation of locking body joints!

    Practicing these technique will help you when you need them. What I like about them is in a grappling situation the joint will become available and with practice you can hit the lock. You have to train in whatever you do for it to work. I train in a version of these locks regularly and what I like to do if someone resist is to change directions and/or kick. I'm a believer in training to better yourself and also to find what works best for you. Thanks Michael D. Janich for posting these vids.

    Nicely done. Joint lock/manipulation takes time and dedication to be proficient at, and those who study it should be commended. "Humane" is not the right word, but it takes a more compassionate mind set and a lot more practice to learn to control someone and apply a finishing strike as needed, then it does to intercept an attack and drop the f***er where they stand. Hats off to you Aikido, Aik Jujutso & Chin Na practitioners. Fantastic idea with the curtain! Makes a huge difference in clarity and the ability to focus on the details, almost down to the tendons. Again, well done.
