Z Lock / Nikyo ( Hapkido / Old School Jujutsu Technique )

The Nikyo or Z-Lock was originally a technique from Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu. The original practitioners were of the warrior class and would have mostly fought with weapons, their art was developed with that mind set. People get caught up in the dojo world of masters and students "grab my wrist" concepts but do not delve into the full spectrum applications. Here is a somewhat advanced study into a single technique. The Z-Lock / S-Lock or Nikyo. Don't get caught up in thinking that this technique has to be done a certain way according to your "style" understand that the concept, the fundamentals, the principals are the reason for the technique and its original use and invention.
