TenShin Aikido’s most powerful throw - Nodotsukiage 

I used this technique tonight on the job as a private security contractor. worked absolutely perfect and we took the subject into custody for striking one of my officers

I can't thank Lenny enough for all these videos. As a police officer, this style of aikido would work in REAL life situations. I just wish I could study and learn from the rogue warriors in person. Keep up the great work Lenny, and thanks again. You're the goods brutha💪

I am a lifelong practitioner of the arts since 12. You fill in the gaps that “mon violent” aikido only passes on to a few Still learning in retirement. Love and respect my brother.

Nice one, Lenny, and beautifully executed. This technique is ideal for attackers who come at you at speed like a bull at a gate. I can see it requires perfect timing to get it right, though, and you have to be deliberate in your action from beginning to end. Thank you for being so generous with your teaching - I learned a lot.

Great video! Different than Iwama and Aikikai... that's what makes it so great. You take Aikido and make it yours!! All of us are stoked to be hosting you in May!

Lenny sly.is easily the most.badass aikido teacher on the tube I've done 3 years traditional iwama aikido and I feel these applications were what.was.missing my whole journey thankyou lenny for these videos cheers from down Under in oz

lenny, I have been following your channel for a while. as a fellow aikido practioner it is refreshing to see traditional techniques applied to more realistic applications. thank you for the videos. They have provided both inspiration and also some reassurance about how I like to approach the sessions I teach. please keep the good work and instructive clips coming.

Thanks. This is a reality application...that is why aikido is not meant for competition because it knows no rules. Practicality as it is! Keep it up!

Excellent explanation for this technique. Please keep doing these great videos, really help for traditional aikido practicioners know these more realistic techniques. Greetings from Argentina!

Excellent nth here , Semnsei Sly. Love the way you breakdown the elements of the throw ,before Tue throw is fully executed. I love Aikido. I will get there to Illinois to see you. Don't know when but so far your video postings are great. Thank you, keep in touch.

Great video Lenny Sensei. Coming from a traditional Ju Jutsu/Karate background i can testify that this techniques work very well on the street. Most of the dudes who pick fights downtown on a saturday night are most likely untrained duchebags and not MMA Pros. Professional fighters are way to composed and chill to engage in useless pub brawls. And if they do chances are pretty good that they are just as drunk as you are, so the odds would be even.

Another EXCELLENT, WELL DEMONSTRATED, INFORMATIVE, AND PRACTICAL VIDEO. My "grand sensei" is Sheehan RUSS ROGG, founder of the SHENDO GOJU RYU SYSTEM. Many of our techniques clearly have there roots in Aikido/Jiu jitsu. As a disabled person I can't do more of the "athletic/power techniques that I was once able so it's all about viable, practical technique. This is all about leverage, body position and as it has been described as "being like air" and requiring minimal strength, that being said I have already begun to show my daughter some of the basic techniques for grabs, pushes, holds, and typical mugging scenarios that she can grasp and apply effectively on a much larger and stronger opponent. We also share in philosophy of basically "kill or be killed" in that we END the combat engagement as quickly and as PERMANENTLY as possible. As you mentioned you don't train to courteously throw your attacker out and give them another chance to attack you. You really give an awesome breakdown that can be successfully followed and applied. Much respect and appreciation for your instruction...Arigatou Sensei...OSS!!

Love your videos . It really shows Akido is not only for the battlefield but street damage as well. Calling out of Rhode Island

So fascinated with the postures, and how the triangles create the spheres.

I faaaaaaakin love your approach to Aikido and self protection. Out here in U.K

"Body goes where the head goes" Good news for me then. My head is not about to intentionally get me in the middle of the drama which is a fight. Not anymore. To paraphrase an old movie quote: "I'm too old for that stuff" mentally speaking. My body isn't going anywhere but to work, practice, then back home. lol May covid keep its distance and may you guys remain healthy and safe. I'm late to the show so to speak, but thank you for sharing your adjustments/improvements to our art.

It is amazing! I understand that there are a lot of 'hidden' things to explain on how asi sabaki and te sabaki works in this technique... but excelent explanation of entrance (may be another word, sorry for my English) into technique where and how it works. Thanks a lot for your videos!

Good presentation N.B. Within traditional aikido techniques are practiced similar to the ones showed plus others, That depends on the school, And yes you learn how to throw away in iriminage and kotegaechi etc… as basic techniques (how to rotate well your hips plus other reasons) Within henka waza the variations of applying the techniques includes throwing right in front of you where the uke most of the times don’t have the time to initiate his yoko ukemi, similar to the techniques showed in the video but with more aggressiveness Keep up the good work

Segal was the ultimate TenShin Aikido machine in his prime. That shit works. I'm not an Aikido practitioner. I just watched Segal demonstrate a few moves and rehearsed them in my mind. I used the technique once in an attack situation and watched the attacker do a cartwheel in midair and land on his back. That ended the attack. I don't know if the guy ever figured out what had happened. He laid on his back for a few minutes because the wind was knocked out of him.

Love it this is not MMA this is a technique for self defense and taking control

I used nodotsukiage as a cop with a guy who wasn’t doing well mentally but was no compliant with his hands. Worked like a charm!

Long time fan here. I see you're still on that this isn't MMA stuff. Tell people this is just like any other art. It's like a dance. MMA is like two different people trying to dance two different styles of art. Most don't realize this art is intended for when someone is committed to hurt you in one shot. MMA is mostly jabs that are intended to feel a person up and then break him down. That's two different people with very high skills in each art of fighting. In this case the most conditioned and skilled fighter wins. Thanks again for the lessons. These kinds of seminars have saved my life murmurs times. Keep up the good work. And please stop responding to hate mail. It's not good for you

I wish you will still doing videos . you are a great teacher.

Lenny you already know what I think....Keep up the momentum.

This has been my street opening for a quarter century plus.

beautiful hard style aikido!!!! fantastic techniques!!! more traditional dojos must follow these to evolve aikido and its image

Love it! Lenny is a great teacher I live his no nonsense approach.

Very nice!! Especially useful to make sure you keep someone away from you, PERSONAL SPACE as a warning!

Just want to say your uke is really good and I love your demonstration of this technique.

Very effective. This is the kind of teacher real people needs.

Great teaching and explanation, traditional Aikido is a beautiful martial art but not effective in real situations on the other hand your applications are straigth to the point and practical. I have a Shodan degree at Shotokan Karate and while I was learning Traditional Akido this is what I was looking for. Keep the good job!

Good day Sensei, I watched this technique and it will work very well in a street fight against a slap or haymaker punch I don't have much knowledge in Aikido but I see this working thank you for this video.

Its always good to see, how You are going step by step through the basics. *deep bow* I appreciate it very much.

I appreciate the fight you're bringing against the mma fan boys and likes about the difference mma as a sport and a self defence on the street. Also love seeing the harder or in my opinion the truer aikido on youtube. Sick of all the clubs out there promoting pure shite.

I love this no nonsense guy lol love his bluntness

I'm completely surprised For the first time, someone proved and demonstrated to me in a real and practical way that aikido is a real solid martial art and effectively dangerous.

In my dojo they didnt practice this technique [ as far as I know ! ] Ive seen it been but never knew its proper name! Thank you for the education.. makes me want to hit the tatami again

Awesome technique 💯💫

Those are some awesome moves.

I like the lectures before demistrating the moves

I still believe 100% that Kenny sly aikido can still be used against a UFC fighter. Its all about when to apply the move.

I wish I lived in your town.....Have subscribed....Sincere best wishes to your Subscribers and yourself from the UK

awesome video Lenny ty again for sharing u and Chris luper like I say u guys are the very best I love ur videos keep em coming whenever u can I deff.learning a lot so again ty ur friend Jack mcmurtrie from Mi.

Nice breakdown of the technique

Thank-you Lenny!...

Wonderful instructor, are your online classes still available?

Great tutorial sensei Lenny,,, well explain

I recall Seagal using this technique in Hard to Kill..the opening convience store scene.

always my first move, along w/ standing on their foot and great for keeping to your distance from their germs.

Excellent Video. Reversals on hand control and locks would be interesting to see how you would implement that into your Combat Offensive Tactics. Plus In Real World situations and altercations, sometimes even the martial artist has poor form or position at the start of the altercation. Ways and fundamental understandings that in the real world martial artist do things just like everybody else such as drink at a bar, and they also become complacent at times in their lives. Understanding the art of war in todays society is instrumental in mindset as well as development and actions. Just food for thought mate. Love your Instruction and I can tell you care about your students.

As always, great stuff. Thank you.

It appears TenShin Aikido is more Daito-Ryu? Am I wrong?

I can see this being effective at intercepting a haymaker or shove. Like the cutting arm neutralizes the attacker's punch while you slip in with Nodotsukiage or a palm strike to the chin. Plow him over and make the pavement his new best friend. As for the MMA fanboys, even trained fighters are subject to physics and don't always attack intelligently. In fact, most don't at all because they're not in the zone. There's a fair bit of mental preparation to going into the ring, and you don't have that luxury on the street when someone surprises you. Not to mention there's no ref to break it up, so you're in REAL danger. It's a whole different ballgame.

Wow , this kokyunage has a name : Nodotskiage , thanks Lenny Sensei , our master only calls it kokyunage thats why its confusing

Excellent!

Hey! When, where is your next seminar? I would like to attend. 6/10/23

I like to call it the Aikido choke slam!

Its very clear Sensei..so if the uke very tall need to use nikyo first 😉

I love it. Applies to tradition Aikido immobilize against street mugging.

Your Uke reminds me of the late great Randy The Macho Man Savage.

awesome technique.

Thanks for sharing; that is wickedly efficient; boom; down; end of story!

great stuff Lenny

Even in MMA though it is viable, except rather than taking it off of the knife-hand strike counter, you could get a strong underhook on his arm and drag his body in the same direction, then you proceed with the movement just as shown.

Very intoressting thanks for sharing .

I enjoyed this video it was very interesting and informative

well explained Lenny,love the lessons,can you do defence against head butts please ?

very clear great video luv it

I don't know if this is in my Aikido, I hope it is, I want to learn it.

those are the4 details that as a professor we need to know to let them know thanks

Hey Lenny, first, thanks for the videos and the good explanations. I'd like to hear your thoughts about blocking and about blocking low shots/punches/knife strikes, and how to train multiple blocks. Also, from a self defense prospective, should we train low blocks with hand drop or not? cause you don't know if a guy has a knife... thanks a bunch Y

Lenny I study more traditional aikido and have always wanted to learn tenshin. Unfortunately there are very few dojos in the US. Anyway, I have a question. Can you touch on the application of this technique on your knees? I realize being on your knees would most likely not happen in real world situations but would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks

Takeda from Daito Ryu said to drop them by your feet and finish them off from there, not to throw them far away.

Dude, Bad Ass…

I'm a big fan of all your stuff i seen some of your gun defense and i even seen shot gun disarm what i haven't seen disarm wife a knife would you use the same concept or change of depending on angles or slashing working with edge weapons i enjoy but I'm not that good thanks for listening

Just wanted to ask why You tell us not to do like Jaime Calderon?

Hey Lenny, Quick question, I've been an aikido student for more than 6 years but my instructor only teaches me in traditional ways. I love the art but I believe its not fit for combat, but I love the way you practice it. How would i go upon practicing the more combative perspectives?

Dude , Bad Ass

Good ass video. People talking that set up shit they are crazy. U know what u know...keep doing u, and keep sharing with those who appreciate real martial arts.

May I, with your friends to engage in on your video? Is it possible then to send our video with the desired number of repetitions that you made comments and gave their assessment? I really want to learn this style of Aikido, but I'm too far away from you. I want to study and teach.

Get the guy off balanceand he will gowherethehead goes = judo principle. Cool demo by the man !!!

Absolutely positively love aikido taught by steven seagal & lenny sly teshin aikido is absolutely effective 👌 👍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The audio on this video is kind of rattly and scratchy and you need to slow down your explanation of this technique. Did you ever study with Arikawa Sensei? He was quite fond of this type of technique. Sometimes you want to throw the bad guys out and into their buddies and out of your way. Sometimes you want to “plant” them straight down, which will scare their buddies off. But don’t trip over the bad guy you’ve just “planted.”

Hey lenny what would this work against a much taller opponent? it would be alot more diffucult to drive downward as you talked about

Very Nice!!

Correct Don't waste time thinking if fighting other marshal Art train and train the Aikido way and master the Way of Aikido. ASD

Is Tenshin a similar concept to koppo? Enjoy your teachings! Keep rocking out brother.

Dude Bad ass ….

Is there any type of sparring in this system vs a resisting opponent?

how u doing Lenny this is Ivan I like this video

Owesome

Lenny sensei do you accept pakistani students from abroad.

This is Aiki Do Way

That weird overhead chop punch needs to be modernized to current times in which we throw punches and not past times when they were swinging swords on a battlefield in that strike motion that is still being used in aikido for self defense. Nobody throws punches like that and if they do they are weird and I don’t want to fight them. 😆 🥋💥🤏

Great tutorial! My grandma wont stand a chance!

Good l like it

Do you have to master traditional Aikido, before learning Tenshin Aikido?

So the most powerful throw in aikido is not a throw but a shove.

Hay hi you doing mista lenney my name Greg I love watching your videos I do little tycwondo but I want learn how to throw grab if possible teach me how to grab foot work

Just watch Under Siege with Segal. And people give him a lot of crap. People just don't understand the true effects of Aikido.
