I noticed that too. But he is not an Okinawan karate specialist and probably is content with the way he does things (something I wouldn't argue with him about). While many of his techniques were not exactly as illustrated, they were close enough IMO to show the effectiveness of the kind of things the Bubishi was showing.I was a little disappointed in this video. It seemed that often he just jumped to the first technique in his repertoire which roughly resembled the pictures in the Bubishi rather than looking more carefully to see how the details of the illustrations might indicate something a bit different from what he does.
The aoki arm break is pretty famous though.For the sake of technique discussion, at 3.02, he can "crack" his opponent's elbow joint better if he extends his right arm and put the back of his right palm on his opponent's chest while pulling his opponent's left arm with his left hand.
That's the 1st counter for hip throw. When your opponent's arm wraps around your waist, you "crack" his elbow joint.The aoki arm break is pretty famous though.

Yeah. Definitely.The result is obvious, but it upsets me.
A sporting competition, regardless of how important it is, is still a sport. Competing in one and purposefully causing what could be a life changing and life damaging move for your opponent, is the biggest douche move there is.
This is one of the reasons I don't like seeing MA as a sport, because it's somehow not naturally a sport.The result is obvious, but it upsets me.
Great video. That is a common technique against knife and other weapon attacks. Many effective variations under the same conceptAnd you can achieve a better result than this?
I think this is difficult for people outside of a system or for peoplewho know multiple systems. I run into this when my Muay Thai sparring partner tries to help me explore Jow Ga Techniques. Sometimes we get light bulb moments but sometimes the technique gets translated into Muay Thai, which is what I don't want to happen. I don't want to do it the muay thai way. I want to do it the Jow Ga way. Similar is fine, but I become irritated and start to resist when it starts to take a muay thai perspective.I like Eric Paulson’s material a lot and would love the chance to train with him.

Is it a banned technique in sport?
No it is not banned in MMA. It was a perfectly legal technique in that match.Is it banned?
