Definitely subscribed!! You're the most relaxing, calm, and kind instructor. A lot of the Aikido instructors/channels are overtly rough, angry in the face and tense. Aikido is flow, not anger..Thank you for being on RU-vid. This is my very first video of yours.
Admirable clarity, Sensei. Your presentation distils the essence of these techniques. Your demeanor also shows the care you take in considering the well being of your "opponent" (as personified by Uke). I will be using this as a reference when I train & practice with my boys. Thanks for your effort and energy in producing these videos.
Thank you for detailed explanation of finger lock, as well as underscoring the importance of honest attacks again. Dishonest attacks create dishonest passive-aggressive training, where "what works" gets obscured by pseudo-intellectual speculation.
shi it's funny how they 3ven admit they never spar. Not even half effort. That was all I needed to hear to know if this stuff was truly affective. they always have these absurd excuses with why things, (this being a very impractical and extremely narrow martial art system in which you had better hope somebody your are fighting is a total moron), aren't what they appear that this is like some 8 year envisions a fight.
Robert New who never spars? I think youre confusing competing and sparring, we spar, but only to the level of our understudents so they don't get mangled because they are unfamiliar with an advanced technique, and how to blend and roll to avoid injury. Because we're not (well not all of us) morons. We get it, it's not for you, buh bye!
+TomTreeMan I trained Aikido for 8 years and did lessons with at least 20 different Sensei's. Had one main Sensei but travelled to a lot of schools. Did 5 weeks in Utsunomiya with Tohei Sensei. I also checked out several different styles of Aikido in that time. NONE of them ever sparred. I tried to get some of my fellow black belts to spar with me in private so we could advance. None were ever interested. You say above that you spar but only to the level of your understudents. Well that means what you are doing is not sparring. Sparring requires realistic speed attacks that are not telegraphed and not pre-determined. It means that both students should be trying to strike or throw the other while not allowing the opponent to strike or throw them. If you want it to be really useful then sparring should be full contact so it is as close to simulating real combat as is possible. The problem with this kind of sparring is injuries are a definite. Not a maybe but a surety. Even with gloves and protective gear you will get injured. This is from pure striking arts full contact sparring. If you try it with a throwing art then there will definitely be injuries and they will likely be dislocations and breaks. This is the reason I believe that very few if any Aikidoka actually spar. So I am not dissing you for not sparring as I realise the dangers. I am dissing you for claiming you do actually spar when I am pretty sure you do not. If you have video proof of your actual regular real sparring then please post it and I will eat my words about you not sparring. Aikido is a beautiful and fun art to learn and do but it is not street combat effective. It WILL give you a good low centre of gravity and make you harder to throw. It WILL teach you to roll and breakfall very well. It will NOT teach you to defend yourself against an aggressive striker. It will NOT teach you to throw someone who does not want to be thrown. It will NOT teach you how to grapple or wrestle. So please just see it as an ART and not as a MARTIAL art.
Thanks for posting these videos, I find them very good, and don't mind the negative comment by Mr. Simpson, each person can only train and apply anything to their own individual level, and the ability to apply comes from practice and good training. Much respect.
It's important to highlight the principle of stepping outside of the line of attack when dealing with kicks. This could mean stepping into the rotation of your opponent to avoid the kick or minimize the damage, at the same time giving you a position of advantage. This could also mean a tenkan and a counter kick to the supporting leg. What you don't want to do is try iriminage (blocking and entering) on a kick. It's safe to say that most people willing to fight you these days have had at least some exposure to MMA. They will throw hard snap kicks, round house kicks, Muay Thai kicks to the shins and these are the types of kicks that are dangerous to block or "try to catch". A professional will average around 1200 pounds of pressure with a kick. That's enough to shatter the bones of your arm. So when engaging the most important thing is to remember the Aiki principles designed to save your life and prevent injury, before applying the technique.
There is a reason the UFC doesn't allow finger locks. The efficiency and damaging effects. It is a great solution for escaping many holds and from many positions. Many people have a closed mind on techniques they don't see in the UFC. Which is good more techniques for us.
@shooter4hire shooter4hire You sound dumb as hell💀. You never been to a fight huh?. Their are houndreds of videos showing MMA, boxing, wrestling, muay thai, bjj being affective in actual fights. Akido literly has none. A navy seal agrees with me check him out on RU-vid you dipshit.
@@blank1blank249 you're saying and arguing against shit that he didn't even say. Read....please learn to read....otherwise you're just bitchin for no reason.
Sorry, i am aikidoka and bjj practitioner. Finger locks destroy your fingers but has no real impact on fight. With broken fingers you will still fight. With broken knee or elbow you will fight much less effective. In UFC they will not hold fight because few fingers broken, it is too much of dollars. In real fight when death is in your eyes as well. This work during sparring only or for unmotivated opponents without will for fight.
I appreciate the focus on providing your partner with an honest attack. To trust your partner is to give them the benefit that you are both training safely but with 100% intention and not fearing the pain and 'tapping' because you fear the pain. To know how to apply techniques means you have to have that feedback from a good uke. Great video.
So many haters and their comments, thanks for the video it's always great too see these techniques being practiced from these basic moves the possibilities change depending on angle of attacks. Look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you
so very true....to many people look at it white or black...but reality is everything happens in the grey area....this is where we train. you practice techniques to create a foundation but your training must be honest to have a chance to understand such things. I do agree also that techniques will never work unless there is honestly. thanks for the reply and thanks for watching.
actually , grabbing any kind of joint and manipulate it in their opposite way of movement works pretty well. I have used that when I was a bouncer at a bar.
With all due respect to your Uki, I'd suggest getting a black belt from Karate or Tae kwan do for these demos because they can execute the kick technically which will allow you to point out your counters and such without having them repeat the kick multiple times because of poor balance. i.e. they can hold the kick longer to give you time to explain your counter technique. I love this study and greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and techniques with the larger martial arts community. Peace and blessings. Ooss.
I really like this martial art, I would love to learn it.. Is sad to me because there is not an Aikido school Juarez Mexico, that is in the border of El Paso tx
Mate,i see some holes in your defence.You're leading with your chin for starters. Do a live,full contact sparring session against a competent kickboxer and see how long you stay away from his strikes for?
I remember the kicking defense done in one dojo. the instructor or the senior students( they have very good background in karate) will attack the defender-student with kicks only; the student will defend against the kick with the defensive technique taught to them. many students failed to defend themselves because of indecisiveness in intercepting the kick that is why some have stumbled crouching in pain, a few were knockdown as the kick hit their face. there were those who have blooded mouth or nose. The kicks were not delivered very strong but fast and the kicker keeps on moving so the defender does not know what legs and kind of kick will delivered. In this video the instructor is showing a way to intercept a kind of kick and its follow-up strikes.
dosdadio siapa yes we are only demonstrating certain evasions once you learned this and have a better understanding then is the time to implement more aggressive kicks where the uke moves allot
Non nominare sensei 7mo dan shihan Steven Seagal che lui è un grande maestro di aikido pk e le sue tecniche sono a dir poco micidiali in un contesto reale ok quindi.
Hello, sensei. What do you do when the kick is coming from the side? (e.g. round kick, tornado kick) Every single Aikido kick defense video I've seen only shows straight kick defenses.
I don't know Aikido's technique, but the exploit of any circular kick (except for the snapping roundhouse) is that the threat zone on the kick is small -- there's really only the heel that is dangerous to you, and the rest is just the weight of the attacker's leg pushing you. The best counter that I know is to step in immediately, so that the heel is actually behind you instead of lined up with any target of your body. From here you hook the thigh near their knee with one forearm going under, sliding your arm so that the weight of the attacker's leg is at your elbow rather than near your wrist. You can force take-downs from here that don't involve falling with the attacker, making it a good move for self defense against multiple attackers or if you'd prefer to be fleeing rather than fighting. The arm you aren't hooking with forms a simple "L" shape and stunts some of the impact into you, so that you don't take a heel to the face as they bend their leg more trying to force contact. You might take a light pawing punch as you execute this, but they aren't dangerous with your opponent on one leg -- the only real danger is an eye gouge, so just be mindful of that possibility. A snapping roundhouse is a weak kick, relative to other kicks -- even front kicks have more power. It has no power unless it connects, but it's hard to catch unless telegraphed and you can get caught with a hard shin or knee if you try. It's the "jab" of the kicks, trying to quickly tag a vulnerable spot (inner thigh, groin, lower loose ribs, jaw/head) and get a perfect connection. Just lean away from a high snapping roundhouse laterally, as it has zero follow through to chase your head. Step in as the attacker lowers their leg, as they will be off balance at that moment and relatively unable to react -- most opponents will throw straight jabs or straight punches here as they regain their balance to try and bay you, but it's really their only defense so you can be ready to execute a technique against that. If you are not lighter than your opponent, it is relatively easy to barrel into an opponent as they come out of a snapping roundhouse; it's a whipping attack, base foot to knee to hips to kicking knee to attacking foot. The kick has a moment just after contact (or lack of contact; the attacker must be ready for either possibility) where they are on balance but perched on one foot, which is when you begin your counterattack. A low snapping roundhouse cannot be caught or particularly countered. It is a highly effective kick with almost no risk unless telegraphed, which is why it is thrown a lot in MMA ring fights. It does low damage unless it catches your groin, and is basically like a jab -- it's trying to pull your hands out of position to set up a punch to your face. Aikido stance is better than some others for not leaving this kick an opening, since your feet stay close together. Being kicked on the outer thigh isn't nearly as painful or damaging as being kicked on the inner thigh. To counter this kick try to avoid a wide stance or large steps from outside combat range into kicking range. Consider that Aikido is not meant as a martial art unto itself -- not as a complete martial art, as Aikido has no ground fighting. Aikido originated from a man who already knew how to fight in a much harder style -- kicks, punches, battle weapons. It is a way of avoiding harm to your opponent unless you wish it upon them, and a way to quickly end fights in one well executed but not fatal technique when that becomes necessary. Aikido is the way of sparing the life of your enemy. The peaceful art. Consider the chopping motion that Aikido practitioners practice catching. At one time, in actual fights, that chopping arm held a sword. That tells you all you need to know about Aikido and what it was for.
the uke here does not kick on the center line of his instructor but off line. he should not do that. he should kick straight to the center line of his nage who will apply the kicking defense technique. If he failed he will be hit by the kick.
I notice that when the guy kicks, he is too far away to actually kick him. Against a real front snap, you would not have time to block in the manner he is doing.
Dale Parker lol...this is just a demonstration and the uke I used is a beginner student. in our school we have some students that are powerful and know how you kick really well. sure you get kicked from time to time and it's not easy but it works with practice. besides anyone who knows how to fight rarely ever does.
@@tenshindojocho I practice karate and others MA more than 12 years. You solution on kicks is a recipe on broken hand. Beginer enemy is even more danger, trust me I broke my hand this way in past. And normal kick is 2 times faster - sorry but you present bullshido.
@@wnuk85 show me your videos. also as I explained before these are modified . What I show is just the basics. I've trained with great fighters and very strong kickers .
@@wnuk85 Tipikal modern karateka...dont understand anything, but spread wisdom...what kind of karate do you train ? I recommend you to train traditional Okinawa karate /goju- ryu/ and then you ,may be , will start understanding what the martial arts can be.
Tai sabaki! Your back leg has to move too! First you move your front leg in one side and your back leg follows. If uke has a sword your back leg is cut!
+Chikito Borroko The defense is always pro-active..to avoid these attacks keep moving in circle around your opponent...try to change directions and levels as well as distance. Always counter after any kick this when your opponent is off balance and do not need a strong hit to take him down. NOTE: if you are in range and he trows a kick ..and you step back he will reach you ..you have to close the distance by slipping and trowing jab to body...needs a good practice in sparring.
He showed a side kick at the end of the video. Knee-Strikes, I would like to see this myself. Besides checking with your own knee or foot/kick, I dunno how else to defend against them, besides using both hands in a cross block before it gains its momentum...probably more ways than I mentioned.
Grabbing the fingers and doing other techniques like nikyo or sankyo might not be very effective against a drunk person or someone on drugs that might not even register pain, that's where you have to break bones! Nice vid by the way.
We have trained allot with those kicks as well. there is so much content sometimes those are left for other days. I will do more video with kicks later on. thanks
LionDog it doesn't matter, what does matter is how you train and if your ukes are honest. the uke I used was a beginner but we have had guys who are very good with their kicks
The poor man taking the falls haven't a safety mat to fall onto 😩 Isn't the O'Sensei supposed to evade first before entering? He taIs of evasion but I can't see him doing it!
There is a puzzle mat. It has a "wood" print, so it looks like hardwood. And in Tenshin Aikido, it is different than all other styles of Aikido. Look very closely at the cut. It brings Uke offline. Slightly, but you are both in line with each other. Once the Mai Geri kick comes, you suriage deflect. Think in terms of sword. When the direct, online kick comes, you use the sword action to deflect, that automatically takes them offline, and here is the secret, they lose their balance in the process by being slightly offline, not incredibly noticeable to them in the moment until they are swept. Then they feel it.
Yes I understand what you wrote and can see what the sensei is doing. The style I learn (not aikido) focuses on offline evasion just after the attack is launched. The thinking is that in case you miss cutting the attack then the insurance is that you aren't there to take the attack. I guess, use whatever works for you. Best wishes.
shit really more questions as to how you grab someone's fingers in a real fight? what is going on has anyone actually had a real fight. The technique is not to wrestle open a fist!!!! you exploit a grabbing hand ...shit I can't believe I'm having to explain this.
I literally got to 1:47, had to stop. I mean no disrespect, but train it realistically. That set the mood and mindset for your entire "self defence" style of Aikido.
But a good kicker won't leave his foot out there long enough for you to grab. An excellent Karate or Taekwondo kicker snaps the kick and retracts it very fast.
I wish people would get this through their heads I am a Taekwondo practitioner as well you don't grab you blend but the only way you're going to blend is to time it with your Center the hands are an illusion if you can't get that part of it you will never do Aikido I've studied martial arts for most of my life I know what I'm talking about I can kick you I can punch you I can deflect I can joint lock you I can use Wing Chun once you understand the principles and how it works you just realize that they're just coming at it from a different angle in all the Arts but the core principles remain the same and the core principle is your Center and what you choose to do with it if you can't manipulate their center with your Center in my opinion you're not much of a martial artist regardless what art it is because you don't punch or kick with you appendages you punch or kick with your core and Aikido calls that the center
lol....that's the whole point. you train for many reasons and 1 I hope being to be able to have some great martial skills. if you ask this and you are training then you might want to consider changing your training.
lol....that's the whole point. you train for many reasons and 1 I hope being to be able to have some great martial skills. if you ask this and you are training then you might want to consider changing your training.
+The Lloyd you are correct ! any martial arts only works on unskilled dummies....but those that are skilled in martial arts is different. aikido does work if you understand fighting
Look closely and you can see where the mats join in a dovetail fashion. It's not wood. Systema often does train on floors and outdoors for realism. That's why slapping the mat and rolling over your bony bits are bad ideas. It has to be relaxed, and preferably using muscle areas away from the spine.
Not all the Aikido Dojo uses color belt system and some will have students wearing white belt until 2nd Kyu (black belt) level. Further mroe this white belt seems to know other forms of martial arts and know how to kick. students of pure Aikido do not know how to kick properly.
lol...this is just showing possible things at a slow level. just like any other training system like...bjj,mma, etc...showing stuff. actually training of it is different and takes training. any actual trained person who is good would understand this. besides why would I show more detail on youtube.
Jaime Calderon Yo I think it's good that martial artists don't show every little thing that they know. I mean this video DOES show Aikido techniques but I can't see that much of detail shown, as you say. In my opinion the best martial art is a bit from all martial arts. Aikido is perfect if you need to evade the attack or use your opponent's strengh (and power) against him/her
BJJ is wonderful in a competition setting. It is great to go to the ground to avoid punches and the like in completion. However in a real situation, you want to control at the outset. So a push, punch, kick etc, has to be handled immediately. So Aikido, in particular this style, incorporates very quick immobilizations, pins and throws. It is handed down from Samurai in the battlefield. Over the course of time, the techniques have evolved to fit Judo, jujitsu, and ground jujitsu. It works marvelously in competition, but not so good in real life. Very dangerous in fact. In Aikido the thought is to survive and get out quickly. Not win a match with points, or a 3 or 4 minute struggle on the ground while you are at incredible risk. Hope that helps clear it up.
+Sword of Truth Aikido Bullshit. There are a lot of videos and news about BJJ guys doing well in self defence situations, includind letting robbers unconscious, specially here in Brazil, I know a lot of it, it's always on the news. About Aikido, I never heard any of it. All I know is a shodan friend of mine who standed still while his friends were attacked. Most of you guys don't even know how to use it in a real chaotic situation, since you never spar with full resistence.
LionDog No, bite them they are back on their feet. We used to do it to them for fun. A girl with a set of keys could take out any MMA guy. They are equipped for one thing. Jockeying for position in a homosexual battle. All competition martial arts stems from ancient Sodom rituals. It is on the walls written.
@LionMan your shodan friend sucks. A lot of Aikido sucks, so it's not his fault. My Aikido school teaches resistance training, reversals, backup techniques, anti-RNC, anti-tackle, anti-mount techniques. Some Aikido schools actually grew up to deal with street attacks, but most of them are stuck in the "museum of Aikido". O Sensei himself was a violent man, he would've shaken his head if he saw how most of Aikido failed to evolve. But some of it did evolve, and this style is an example of that.
Aikido and BJJ have the same heritage, so drop the Samurai romanticism. BJJ has a standing game as well-- at least, the Gracie schools do. And, unlike Aikido, BJJ has live sparring. Between the two, BJJ will have a higher success in their students.
That wasnt supposed to be an insult, more of a challenge. Link me some videos against some combative opponents. Some real mma fighters or a crew kids from the block will do, just walk around temple. You cant ask me to take you to seriously without backing anything up in actions. Thats all im asking. Link me the vids. And while your doing that ill be in the gym just like i always am, just like i am as i type this at 3:31am est fri 12/2/2016.
MMA as sport is not real, too much techniques are forbidden, and boxing by itself is very weak, but if you mix with wrestling you can be very good in a fight... in the 90's all the people was talking about bjj, and the bjj guys said muay thai was not so good, but now muay thai is good in mma because intelligent fighters mixed it with wrestling... the same thing is happening with karate, capoeira and judo, but in the 90's these arts were understimated
+HECTOR ARTURO because people in MMA don't practice wrestling or judo an have absolutely no fighting skill an because they can't apply certain techniques means that when it comes to a street defense scenario they wouldn't be able to adequately defend themselves. I hear this argument a lot, being from traditional jiujitsu an being a traditional martial artist who also competed in MMA i see this as an unproven opinion. A large majority of the of people in MMA come from traditional backgrounds, but because of the limitation's of these traditional backgrounds they have decided to either practice or compete professionally on MMA. I do agree that the days of being a one trick pony are over.
***** I am agree with you in this: an MMA practicioner could be prepared for an street fight if he is open minded. The same thing happens with traditional martial artists, they could be succesful in MMA championships if they are open minded (Machida, Cung Lee, George St. Pierre, etc)... and traditional techniques are effective if you are open minded. All martial arts have weaknesses till now, but that not means that all practicioners have. I am talking about Martial Arts training programs, and if you consider them, all are incomplete, that was understood by Bruce Lee... Bruce Lee understood even his way of fighting should be questioned my friend. 😉. In a real situation the last option is don't go to the ground because while you are trying to do an arm lock, the friends of your opponent will apply a knife in your back or neck... and in an 1 vs. 1 situation many bjj techniques could be ineffective against kino mutai bites (kino mutai is the phillipine martial art of bitting in ground, you can check videos on RU-vid)... If you check Machado brothers bjj techniques used in a street fight in a movie, tgey did not go to tge ground in many situations. Bruce Lee talks very much about tge last option to him: going to the ground.
HECTOR ARTURO well I'm glad we have come to some common ground. But this notion of keeping an open mind really doesn't get to the core of the subject. what MMA has done is pretty much rooted out the techniques in martial arts that are not very effective or take an extremely long time to master an simplified it down to the most effective an simplest of techniques. Everyone brings up Bruce lee, but martial arts did not die with him, an he wasn't the only one at his time to cross train in martial arts, he just happened to be much more well known that others. There was a good interview with Joe Rogan an Bas Rutten on this subject of MMA practitioners defending themselves on the street,an the one topic that constantly comes up is that everyone wants to go to the ground and if that was the case no one in MMA would be taking up boxing or muy thai or even karate for that matter. bitting, headbutts, strikes to the groin don't take much practice or maintenance to use, they are natural things that will be performed when in a street defense situation. everyone that says i would bite the leg if i was put in an arm bar has never been put in an arm bar, the amount of pain of your elbow being torqued short circuits cognitive thinking.
***** i am glad too. I am agree with you about Bruce and cross training, an example is Sambo before Bruce, but Bruce work is not only about that. It was not only about combine... another mixture was kickboxing, before Bruce too. The JKD of Bruce was not a simple mix, it was focused in science more than art: movement economy, distance, energy, coordination, simplicity of the training, simplicity of the martial technique, adaptation, evolution... and with his words has inspired many people, not only martial artists, even inside the UFC. The Bruce work was not only about mix technique 1 plus 2, it was about create new techniques, including changing little details in a simple punch... even Bas Rutten, who has been a critic of Aikido, has recognized that some Aikido techniques could be effective if the opponent grabs you. Even Helio Gracie said that if somebody would bite him, he would be furious and finish him... then, a bite is possible, even if you are an BJJ master as Helio. Bas Rutten had a tv show about self defense and the most of techniques were not ground techniques. Bruce, in one film, bites an opponent while he is trying to do an arm bar. Kino Mutai is not only about bite, is about how to grab to bite, and how to avoid the bite. Proggresive Fighting System by Paul Vunak (a JKD practicioner) incorporates Kino Mutai, and that system is used by USA Rangers. Many bjj techniques are simple, but if you don't practice you could not apply in combat... is the same thing with bite... I am agree with you about you maybe don't need 10000 repetitions, but I think you need some reps to automatize the techniques, Bruce insisted very much in automatization. Even if you won't need a minimum of repetitions, I am not talking only about learn to bite, I am talking about understand what positions could be dangerous in a real fight even if they works very well in a MMA championship, dangerous because you expose vital areas where a bite could finish with your life. . This is a fictional scene, but illustrates my idea a little ☺: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AqCrSwPUULY.html
HECTOR ARTURO well you make some good points, but there is one misconception that all BJJ is ground based when in fact it was rooted in traditional jiujitsu an judo, BJJ just refined an went into more depth in the ground game. Bas Rutten did admit to SOME techniques being effective, but when you are going up against a well trained fighter, you will have a hard time trying to implement those techniques. Aikido is a martial art i respect, but its intention was not a competitive or combative art, it was an art meant for self defensive against people who were not trained in fighting. An yes Bruce did bite a guy when he was applying an arm bar, but you said it your self, it was a movie after all. Arm bars like many of the joint manipulation techniques that i have learned in Tradistional Jiu-jitsu an bjj are quite simple an do not require thousands of repetitions to learn, When we study fights that have happened on the street and in the ring, we see successful defense from attackers obtained by simple techniques. I love Paul Vunak because of how he explains his train of thought and a lot of techniques he demonstrates are very similar to what i have learned.
Why get a white belt who hasn't learnt to kick properly yet? Aikido is too much with that bullshit soft don't hurt them philosophy. It needs to be modified into a more deadly system and include punches and kicks and ground.
That is why it works so well. they are determined. it may not work every time because every situation is different but it does work of done right. this goes for any technique or any martial art.
The last TenShin Warrior This will never work ...there is no way to grab a target that small when your adrenalin is high and you have tunnel vision..just pivot and deliver a left hook..that will make a statement. One hit and the fight is over..even if you miss a person will think before he gets in range again.
+savcob I grew up seeing many fights and have seen some very bad stuff. been is very bad situations growing up in east salinas. what I do know is all techniques can either work or not worked based on your skills and how you train and what your use too
I have been practicing tenshin aikido (and teaching it) for a long time. I give you a recommendation: Do not use white belts in your videos. It makes you look weak and a fraud. Get a brown belt or a black belt, get someone who can REALLY kick, instead of whatever that poor dude was doing. Everyone can defend from an amateur, even people who do not practice any martial art or sport can lay a white belt flat on his ass, you are not impressive in the least, and you could use a 10 year old child as an uke and it would have the same result.
I really can't believe the comments. ..use a black belt....He is not really kicking.... its a fucking display .....try the bloody moves....whatever style you do ...If it works keep it...If you want to improve it improve it....but please stop bitching. ...who gives a shit if the instructor wants to give his student some respect and use a white belt .of course he could of chose black belts...maybe he isn't stupid enough to fall into the pathetic RU-vid pissing contest....none of it works as taught every situation is different. ...adaptation if is key...Some moron put on here anyone can knock out a white belt? ????? I have taught aikido for 23 years .worked as a prison officer for ten . I have used it numerous times against all kinds of attacks. It has never been exactly as in the dojo...If you think your shit will work exactly as you train it .You are as good as dead. I could line up 100 people that have never had any real training. that would kick the shit out of so called instructor's and no you mma ,bjj guys are not exempt get real.and stop embarrassing yourselves.
Woah! Projecting much?? "Moody" indeed!! (really shows your level of Aikido). Ok, KID, I will explain it to you: There is a difference in wanting to see an "MMA fight" in demonstration of aikido, and seeing real techniques applied with a decent attack. Perhaps you are having a bad day, or you are just another withe belt, or THE white belt in this video (for your "angry whining" seems that way) but nobody has the blame if the truth somehow offends you. To answer your question : "who gives a shit if the instructor wants to give his student some respect and use a white belt"?. First, a lot of people. A demonstration of this level of attack is unimpressive, shows actually nothing and truly backfires (as all the comments shows). You could be a cry-baby about it, or you could man up and face the facts. I doubt you have any knowledge in martial arts, but I truly believe that you know a 100 people with no training that can kick your ass (and that is if you don go out much, because the numbers should be in the millions). As your first lesson, please take your advice: get real and stop embarrassing yourself.
I can add to this. I have trained in Aikido since 92. In this same style. I know it well. I understand it well. And I have used it numerous times. I am a musician by trade, and my life has been in clubs and the like, and I owned one. When I owned one, it never failed that something came up. And many times Aikido was used. It may be different for each individual, but from my experience, it worked exactly the way I trained it. I always studied the techniques within an inch of their lives. And I noticed that once you were in you were in. And after that it was no different than the dojo. The entry may be different each time, but once you were in it always ended up being the same. Maybe that was just me however. As stated everyone is different. I have studied many marital arts, and even messed with some BJJ. However, I always remained in Aikido. Honestly, I get that it is fashionable to trash Aikido now, but I truly am a marital artist. I can tell you, without one shred of a doubt. I always used Aikido. It always worked and never failed me. I was never in a situation where I would have been safe going to the ground.
Kurei Okami really? What dojo are you from Tenshin aikidoka? Most active practitioners of Tenshin Dojo Aikido know better than to embarrass themselves with such a cocky statement. They're more humble than that. In fact, there's so few of us that all of the ones who have been training a long time all know each other lol
The teacher needs to work on his Sabaki footwork too. His kick-counter throws do work, but only if he steps in to get in the right position. EDIT: Their comment isn't cocky. If you wish to show a technique, specifically a counter to a technique, then it most definitely helps if your partner knows how to do the technique you are countering. You can't show a proper counter if it is being used against an improper technique. It still works, but isn't a good illustration for an Embu.
Blah,blah,blah,blah🙄 mma/street fighting technique against aikido?? really??!! u can use aikido in street fighting or in the ring if the opponent is dumb,meaning doesn’t know any martial arts.but if the opponent has a gun..then?
