WILTON TEJADA: Hi, my name is Wilton Tejada. I'm one of the instructors here at Camp Undefeated, New York City. In this clip, we're going to show you how to do an aikido full arm return, okay? Basically, my partner over here, he's going to come forward. Redirect the force from here and turn it, come and bring him around and show you lock, okay? So again, when we're redirecting the force, going to outside, grabbing the wrist, turning thumb out, different direction, [SOUNDS LIKE] thrusting it and you want to subdue him towards the hand, okay? You could also come to the inside of his body this way. Block it and subdue him this way. So basically, the main thing is to redirect the force, come around, grab the wrist, take it to opposite direction. So basically, that's how to do an aikido full arm thrust.
