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 …

good stuff bro rip wally big big huggs
still if your up agaist a good fighter boxer/brawler Ect the’ve still got a 90% chance of winnnig
Very good video!! I train in Dog Aikido as tradintional Ki Aikidoan would say and we train the same way… what works on the street
the attacker here isnt stiff arming him if that happens add a shin kick will make him pay attn to the pain in his leg and he will loosen the stiff arm enough to let him do the lock
when your running out of breath in your demonstration you might be talking too much! Im not here to argue, Im here to say shut ur mouth!
I don’t wish to disrespect Mike Janich, I’m sure he is a very competent Knife instructor but what he is showing here is basic training in Aikido, but does not offer a goshin jutsu approach. How to enter to apply these techniques, how to use center and body mass, how to adhere to the opponents body rather than seeking a technique. Maybe in the rest of the DVD he shows this, I do not know. There is no quick fix in learning these techniques, I have spent 20 years in Aikido and more than 30 in MA.
I’ve already told my wife that this is what I want for our anniversary. Great stuff as always.
2 people dont know karate,ju jitsu,ect…
first time i tried the hand lock on my dad, i ended up confusing myself…
Some of my best friends are Aikidoka. lolz
One person has gotten their ass handed to them using Junkyard Aikido
This video is awesome, best one I’ve come across
Very much in the vein of Hapkido, stripping down to the essentials to obtain the desired effect, great view of concepts too. Awesome.
Mike Janich always has awesome material! He takes old school moves and just makes them easier and more effective. His Martial Blade Concepts by the way is sweet as hell too!
That was great!! Easy to understand and watch. I did spot some ways to improve though
You can get added force in locks if you grip with your little figure 100%, next 80% etc. Your thumb and index finger don’t need to actively grip. By manipulating the angle of the thumb in relation to the lock, ie, turning from 90 degrees inwards to pointing forward (Sankajo), force is greatly increased.
Also locks increase in power by pushing with the back foot off the ground. This also stops uke recovering.
great vid!!!
kote-gaeshi to sankyo looks like fun iam having that one cheers
nice
