in this video I show how to use not a technique but body mechanics to fling your opponent away using only little force.

I see its effectiveness, however, I'd still like to see it with resistance, that's just me. Either way, the thumbs are so useless whenever it comes to holding anything on an opponents body; thumbs are great for picking up inanimate objects.

Thank you for the video, stonecrusher69.

Actually without resistance it would not work.. I can feel all his force going into my body he's not just holding my wrist.. the pressure is going my core and am attaching my core to his and throwing him away because he's not grounded..maybe what you mean you what to see a struggle then I do it..

What I saw in your video was that your student was just letting go of your wrists, which is fine when in the teaching phase, then resistance afterwards.

you have to let go..its difficilt to hold on..its a strange feeling and you come up off the ground a bit..very hard to hold on its better to let go..

I also noticed that it appeared that your partner just let go. But it also seems odd to grab both wrists, too. It seems more likely that one wrist would be grabbed, and the other hand used as a weapon to strike.

what the video is about is the use of force , not about an application.

Ah, I see. Thank you for the clarification.

In Shotokan (Heian Nidan), I was taught the beginning move, while being held by the wrist with your hands by your side, raising your arms in that double arm block position, then with the other arm to downward strike the attackers holding forearm and following up with a back fist using the same hand that was initially grabbed.
