Aikido technique IKKYO against resistance and in henkawaza, by Stefan Stenudd in 2008 

The reason we train Aikido with a hand grab is, yes, to some extent due to the idea of a swordsman having his wrist grabbed etc but it's also more than that. It's easy to move someone who grabs our wrist and put's lots of weight into us because we move our centre or dantien, via irimi, into the centre of uke and then tenkan to change direction of apply force. The idea of pushing via the elbow rather than direct at the point of contact works in this way. It never surprises me that people who have never training in Aikido, never trained for years consistently Aikido, make comments that Aikido is rubbish. Aikido is not original - it can be seen in Ju Jitsu, Karate, Krav Maga, but the difference is the way the Akidoka moves.

Now that was cool to watch. I love the way you turned Ikkyo into Shihonage. And the Ikkyo Ni was beautiful. Also, thanks for leaving in the one fail to Sankajo. It shows we are all human.

5 star for 1:53 :-) Really amazing demonstration that uke's energy can be (and should be) used against him. True spirit of Aikido.

This is really just Kotei training; learning the mechanics of overcoming strength.

Master's teaching is very smart, very clear on, I have also studied aikido 5 stars Thank you for sharing ^_^

Sensei, you got a nice vid...pls keep posting...thanks, and god bless!

@joemanses The same things stoping a boxer from using his right uppercut when he is practising his left direct. It is training dude, where you practice a specific technique, not a death match. If you don't like Aikido do not watch Aikido videos. Simple, isn't it?

@KurtCobain198666, you are certainly right. Here, I just show one aspect of resistance, although not an unimportant one. Other forms of resistance are mainly solved with speed.

i love aikido

Very good man!

i love how he uses small circles to go against his opponent's strength some of his moves are the one's i like to use too

good one!

@Aikidostenudd LOL, good comeback! very aiki

@heathirving, so you refer to the old kumiuchi. Ok, that I have heard about, but never tried.

@heathirving, I don't know what it is, so probably I haven't. Is it something from Saito sensei's system, or from Chiba sensei, or someone else?

@KurtCobain198666 I don't agree that Aikido works against resistance, I would say that it works with the resistance.

Good

Ty for share ,. wish an nice day ,.🌕 (wooow ,. there you do it with lots of speed instead of ,. precise energy flow ,..)

True, your resistance is verbal. Then, no skirt is needed.

@markaval Oh yes it does.

Wow, the guy that comes out at 1:18 is my teacher in real life!

I always enjoy your videos. Too bad you have those kendo guys howling during your practice!

1:50 that happen a lot :D

You have some thin walls. Is your dojo next to a maternity ward or something?

@solpapisolmook SPOT ON. Life training is the reason why any good judo/bjj grappler will always obliterate any aikidoka

Aykidok grab hands, then make him a gift!!!! ))))

If the nage is the the teacher, he´s still an apprendice.

It's hilarious how Aikido makes your brain forget ideas as simple as "resistence". Actual resistence would mean moving around, pushing and pulling at unpredictable angles, and even--god forbid--letting go of the wrist and trying something else. You know, like a fight. Aikido resistence is just "grab my wrist harder than usual this time."

Haha what resistance??? The Uke was very cooperative. Which is why aikido sucks against people who actually resist. Aikido is amazing against the elderly people

No trained person will let u take the elbow like that

boring... the opponents sou could not have seem to uninterested in actually resisting the resisting that it is just plain boring... you could not have added in just 1 example of this actually being used in action?
