"Be alert. Be alive in the moment. Don’t imagine anyone who comes and asks you to ‘push’ or ‘spar’ will keep to a format, or even stay barehanded" my ba gua teacher !!
From what little I understand of Hapkido, that guy is pulling off a non standard move*.
Pulling the wrist back like that looks like a 'goose neck' type of move on the captured wrist. Someone sinks that in and it hurts like hell. The pressure comes from trying to touch the fingertips to the elbow.
The body position has the arm and wrist isolated and the legs are either in postion to prevent the bottom fellow from getting his arms together or it is providing more leverage for the wrist lock.
* In a self defense situation, as I understand it, an Hapkidoist would never want to be flat on their back like that. (And neither would I)
That picture looks more like a 'sports' adaptation than anything else.
I've done that in arm bar drills before. When you drop an arm bar on someone they'll instinctively try and bend their arm to get out of it. If they do and your quick enough you can grab their hand and use the technique in the picture above.
