Nope. You can yank it and injure your opponent (which would usually not stop a fight), but more often than not, your opponent will just pull his arm away and let go of you. Great kuzushi opportunity though.
Aha so it leads nowhere. Interesting... What do you think the Hapkido guy does after that? Tries it again? They literally have nothing else as you can see... its the only attack against the grab
It technically does lead somewhere. It defends the grab, which is the purpose of the move. It's just not really necessary to have a whole sequence after that. Most grappling styles use the exact same mechanics for grip breaks precisely because opponents let go when that happens.
Come again?
No shit. Hapkido is not supposed to be a ground fighting style.
Thats why I made the thread about this defence to jiujitsu style context.
I thought the question was how legit the technique itself was, not whether it's a good idea in a jiujitsu (which?)style context.
In a jiujitsu match? Obviously if that was a great idea it would already be popular.
No lets say no holds barred, vale tudo kinda thing
Which jiujitsu are we talking about?
BJJ or judo expert against them
BJJ was created for Vale Tudo. Hapkido was not. Kind of a nonsense experiment.
