00:00Hi, I'm Phil with Practically Hapkido again. To give you another video, look, it's two in a row, one week
00:06and then another week, so I'm not disappeared quite yet.
00:11The next lock I want to talk about goes by a lot of different names. It's been called a Z
00:15-Lock, an S-Lock, a two-way torque.
00:19Call it what you want, it's one of the greatest locks because you can go to it from just any
00:25kind of a grab you can think of.
00:27But remember the last video I posted was all about starting points of techniques. You have to start someplace and
00:33then we apply it to other avenues as we're going on from there.
00:37Okay, so let's go to here. We'll start it from the same side of wrist defense, actually switch.
00:43We'll start it from the same side of wrist defense because it's a starting place, remember that, okay?
00:47So on the starting place, come on up in here, there's two very important locations we're going to touch in
00:53doing this technique.
00:53One of them is right here and the other one is right here. Here's the heel of the palm, right
01:00here.
01:01So I'm going to touch this one with my thumb, no space. I don't want you touching it like a
01:06deli sandwich, you're not going to hang on to it.
01:08Touch here, this ring finger comes down to here, okay?
01:12So I trap, this hand I call this cradling, trap, cradle.
01:16When I roll this over, I'm going to step in and place this on my core.
01:21So right now, this is where they get the S and Z lock name together.
01:25Show it the bend here, straight here, bend here.
01:28So my finger is here, everything's got a fulcrum.
01:30This is the pull, this is the push.
01:33So what we've done here with this arm is basically we've turned his pinky up.
01:37Once his pinky's in that position, all I have to do is point at him.
01:42The harder I point at him, the deeper and faster he's going to go down.
01:44In fact, gravity can't be fast enough sometimes when you get this lock.
01:48They will kick their feet up and try and hit the ground as quick as they can to get away
01:51from that lock, okay?
01:53So one more time, just from the same side.
01:57Trap, cradle, I roll it in, come in, and boom, it's right there.
02:01Structure still has to be there.
02:03Can't get away from that.
02:05Now, a lot of people do this in a lot of different ways.
02:07On a cross wrist, I've seen a lot of people where they trap, and guess what point they're touching right
02:12here.
02:13And then when they come up here, guess what I'm doing?
02:16With my hand, I'm touching this other point.
02:18Look at this.
02:19Look at how they go together.
02:21But for you practitioners that have been doing this for a while, I want you to try something.
02:26Say hi, bring this all the way up, touch that point, and I've turned my palm all the way to
02:30him.
02:31Now watch what I'm going to do.
02:32What I'm going to do is put my hand on top of these fingers here like this.
02:36Man, let me tell you something.
02:38That is a whole lot of hurt.
02:41Something else to understand about this lock is finer detail for more advanced students.
02:46I've got this direction, but if I mentally think here and turn it to this opposite foot and down in
02:56this way, oh, extra hurt.
03:01Maybe he grabs on the shoulder.
03:03Now use the other hand.
03:05I'll trap this here.
03:06When I come over the top, where's his pinky?
03:09It's up.
03:10I did.
03:10It's just straight down here.
03:12It's got the same lock.
03:15He can grab a hand from behind here.
03:17I come around.
03:18Oh, look where I'm at.
03:21Same lock.
03:22Maybe he grabs with the other hand.
03:23I turn.
03:24I cradle.
03:25Snack it in here.
03:26Guess what I got?
03:27I've got the same lock.
03:28If he locks his arm out, I just do this.
03:31He's still going to have it.
03:33But my feet are still the same.
03:34Feet to the core.
03:36You can do this with a one-hand lapel.
03:38Hair grabs.
03:41Hair grab.
03:46When you do this hair grab, what you're going to do is you're going to do this with your
03:48body.
03:49You're going to crunch this onto here, and then I'm going to turn my body so I've got his
03:53pinky up, and then I just use my body to apply the same locking motion onto the technique.
03:58We refer to it as a two-way torque.
04:03Again, like I generally say, don't always take my word for it.
04:06Apply this yourself and with a resisting partner.
04:12When you do that and everything is correct, they can't stop you from accomplishing this
04:17lock.
04:18And the two most critical aspects of this is this trap, this point here specifically.
04:25Here's what I want you to do.
04:26Find the biggest, baddest, stronger person you can think of.
04:33Now, I'm looking at, see, I bend this wrist, right?
04:36I want to say to my partner, I'm going to bring this up and bend your wrist.
04:39Don't let me bend your wrist.
04:42I'll take one finger to that spot.
04:47And there it is.
04:49And I'm telling you, try this with the biggest, baddest.
04:51If they're super, super, super strong, bend your legs and then do this and stand up.
04:57I guarantee you, man.
04:58That's one effective lock.
05:01We call it a two-way torque.
05:04Apply those things yourself.
05:05If you ever have any questions, please put them into the comments.
05:07I'd love to answer any questions you got on it.
05:09Again, Philip Luklinski, Practical at Hapkido.
05:12Good friend and student now.
05:13Rhett, thank you for your help.
05:15I appreciate that.
05:16Train smart.
05:17Train hard.
