Kamakubi - The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique #aikido #kamakubi #budo #aikidocenterla

The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique by the Aikido Center of Los Angeles David Ito Sensei demonstrates Kamakubi Kamakubi (鎌首) refers to the shape of the arm in the joint lock. The arm when twisted looks like a kama or Japanese sickle and kubi refers to the neck of the wrist. Generally, joint locks fall into two categories: Osae-waza or pinning techniques or kansetsu-waza or joint attack. In an osae-waza the joint and the opponent are immobilized but in a kansetsu-waza the joint is manipulated but not the opponent is not always immobilized. Sometimes people call kansetsu-waza style joint locks “come-alongs” as they are used to move people like in a police situation. An example of an osae-waza joint lock would be nikyo. Examples of kansetsu-waza joint locks would be kamakubi and sankyo. Students should know the difference between the two and not mistake one for the other.  Follow us on social media: Facebook: Aikido Center of LA:   / aikidocenterla   Ito Sensei:   / aikidoteacher   Instagram:   / aikidocenterla     / aikidokodokai   Ito Sensei: teacher.aikido Almaraz Sensei: teacher.kodokai For more information about Aikido In the US http://www.aikidocenterla.com In Europe https://www.kodokai.es
