WILTON TEJADA: Hi, my name is Wilton Tejada. I am one of the instructors here at Camp Undefeated, New York City. In this clip, we are going to learn how to do an aikido rotary throw, okay? So, basically he is going to grab. Again, I am going to go to his outside, keeping the direction forward, then grab my opposite hand. As I am turning, lift the arm up to create space for me to turn, then his elbow will bend, shoulder is locked, he has no option but to go down, okay? Let us try that again. He is going to grab. Again, keeping the direction forward, I am opening, relaxing my hand I grab the opposite hand to create room for me to turn, cross my legs going the opposite way towards his back and lock his shoulder, elbow, wrist, everything is locked, okay? One more time. Grab, keep the direction forward, grab with the up side hand, twist, turn and I can actually subdue him this way. This is basically how do we do an aikido rotary throw.
