I don't know any Japanese instructor who can teach and do aikido better than Tissier shihan. Instead of boring, useless techniques, he teachs aikido in a very realistic yet understandable manner.
+Zoran Radivojevic Weird that you think Techniques are boring? AIKIDO might be about the highest form of Budo but it is not without technique. Also you must aparently not know many Japanese Instructors. And how can it be judged if the teaching is realistic? - It is by default a "Teaching" in other words an instruction to prepare for reality and by that it must be considered "Not Real" or an attempt to mimic reality. (and by that I do not refer to if a technique/form or otherwise would work in reality). If it is understandable is rather subjective - If you understand it then it is understandable to you, but if another person do not understand it, the it is not understandable to that person. And by the way who are you to so lightly judge both the skills of Mr. Tissier and hundreds of other Senseis and Shinans in the World ? - Do you not know that the subject of not comparing and competing is an essenttial part in the Basic Aikido teachings by Ueshiba?. I might be wrong, but it appears by your comment, that you have learned neither the value of good technique nor the basics of the mind of the Aikidoka.
For me the interesting thing about Christian Tissier is that he often talkes about the role of Uke and makes the point that Uke should not just be a mindless dummy while attacking - this is the primary issue with most Aikido. There must be an intelligent interaction between Uke and Nage for any real benefit to come of Aikido practice. The "Axis of action" is basically the joint center (of gravity) when Uke and Nage connect and this idea should be studied very carefully if you plan on using the principles of ying and yang in your Aikido. To study this "Axis of action" in more depth I would suggest watching Henry Kono because his Aikido was based only on this joint center and he was a master at this art.
I think you are aikido students, so, I respect you, but I don't think it is suitable to comment uke and nage only learn students of aikido will understand it,so,being from the background of aikido ,when you know it's principles don't create confusion on the art of aikido flows, best to consult your aikido master for any query, we have full of marshalarts principles and techniques, we, don't need any superficial and ongoing research techniques, thank you..
The problem with modern Aikido is that most practitioners are only aware of circular motions that are big and obvious, but not the ones that are small and subtle -- like the techniques found in Aikijujitsu.
"Axial force" is not actually mentioned in the video. Also, while the teacher does not speak English as a first-language, he often says "around the axis" and "around the point", and we *think* most students understand what he's trying to say by this. Maybe not though! So thanks for your comment. We appreciate the clarification from an engineering point of view. :)
Inderjit Singh8828 - You can see Ikkyo at 07:33 in this video. There is also another lesson for the same technique over here on our own channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RCcYz4lixkE.html Also, AikinomichiWien have a great Ikkyo lesson from Tissier Sensei over here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RX3Oru_CbKY.html Hope this helps!
Not a big fan of what was shown, using to hand to perform some techniques and often leaving yourself open is impractical. Instead one hand should be used solely to apply the technique and the other should be ready to block/ land an atemi or distract the opponent in the early stage. After that the technique should be applied with both hands. That is what we are shown in our dojo. Though the concepts exposed here are really usefull.
People who criticise christian tissier and its principles and techniques, I say they are bullshit they even don't know the principles and philosophy of their present practising marshalarts ,I can only say in one words they should go and collect pistol, revolver,and rifles, they aren't even fit to be conceded as marshalartist.
Tissier is highly overrated. He is a talker but yet he never talks about the fundamentals of aikido. Does he ever talk and explain AIKI or KOKYU or BLENDING? no. mostly it is talking about how to hold and what to do with your hands. "The axis of action" ? its another teacher making up his own concepts instead of transmitting the real recipe of Aikido.
