Anybody try the Unbendable Arm aikido trick?

I have... twice

Dude no way; you like to live your life on the edge don't you?

If you know the unbendable arm there's nothing dangerous about it... just be sure the "bender" of the arm isn't a bozo...
if not try it with your spectator, make him or her SUperman or Supergirl

;) I have to try this out more times before adding it officially to my repertoire thuough...

Yep...Done it for years with no problems.
Also done it in a gym with them hanging weights from a rig on my elbow. Got up to about 400 lbs.
Never took any money from it though...Just as entertainment.

I suppose that the method can't be devulged here? Maybe in private? This sounds interesting, but I don't want to be method hog, so if you love it dearly, keep it to yourself.

Best everyone,

Would like to see it.
have it on youtube?

I demo'd that for years when I taught women's self-defense. Just relax (and I do mean RELAX!!!) and try it out. No real trick to it!

It helps to imagine that your arm is a garden hose and that you have water flowing through it and the hose becomes rigid. You aren't trying to fight the bending attempt. You are just rigid.

It's a mind thing.

Can some describe this?

Thanks for the link, interesting!

Thank you too for this link!
especially I like this nice advice:

"Remember: Elbows only bend one way! Be careful no one tries to bend your arm a direction it wasn't intended to go."
