What should a Karate Woman do if an Aikido Master grabs her? 

その通り

When fighting in a group, you will always encounter the situation of being caught. At this time, Aikido is very useful.

@@user-sb6cn5dh7s normal but the same as wrestling or judo, or for example BJJ, but I not understand peoples who always criticsise martial arts... Becouse in their opinion not working in cage. For example my friend many years doing Wing Tsun and have possibility to spare with him ( I use boxing and kick boxing moves) and for me sparing with Wing Tsun in free rules was another experience with teach me a lot and make me respect to martial arts. In my opinion depends of the fighter. When You train a lot, not fear of fight and have this ability to use techniques in stress situations... You are sure dangerous and not really metters which style You prefer, Aikido, kickboxing, or Bjj.

I have been learning BJJ almost daily for 8 years. I hold a brown belt and am a top 8 world master in my category. Those who practice seriously are strong, those who do not are weak. This is true of all martial arts, not just BJJ or Aikido. Ryuji Shirakawa is a very strong person. That is because he studied Aikido more seriously than anyone else. I sparred with him several times. Even though he had only studied aikido, he was able to perfectly outwit my jiu-jitsu attacks. This is phenomenal😳 If you study aikido seriously, you can become as strong as him. I can assure you that😀😀

@@TOKYOSYSTEMA I prefer wrestling or Yiquan Kung Fu. But I always train for seriously. Becouse street is not training room. In my city in Poland is very popular wrestling, I always wanted to do this but never had possibility to train it. Now I am 36 years, and have possibility to do this, ok I never be the world champ, also national champ becouse I am to old for this but... Its my childhood desire and want to make dreams come true...

Nothing is shown in these videos that has any chance of working on the street. Everyone is nice to each other and tries to make the opponent's techniques work. This is bullshido, not the way you can learn to fight. I write this as a long-time practitioner of Aikido, also from Poland

間違ってもそんなことはない

Aikido is lethal. It's no good when you're just messing around. Aikido men lose only when they take pity on you. Otherwise - you're instantly dead. So many guys just want to mess around with their friends. Aikido's no good for that. Go have your playtime somewhere else.

i doubt that's feasible, grappling is often possible but you need lots of methods of escaping it and return to your preferred range.

Везде работает эффект неожиданности. Человек ожидал, или вы делали слишком поздно. Этоне значит что не работают. Если напрягся делают другую технику, но на это надо опыт. Когда работаешь с мастером ни какие напряжения не проходят он делает другое и ты все равно падаешь😢

Having done this for over 5 decades in the root system of Japanese Jujutsu Phil, the answer I have for you is the more tense the opponent is the easier this works, however it sounds to me like even though you believe you are being soft in fact you are not at the level of softness you need to be to combat a very resistive opponent. The mistake I often see in the scenario you are painting Phil is, that when you are fighting with someone who is sparring, they are in a more defensive mindset than they are offensive. The easiest way to beat this type of opponent is to allow them to press their attack without immediate opposition, then while attempting to retract to reattack, this is when you utilize an unexpected softness, and through an unexpected movement you force the opponent to try and counter and this is when they are most vulnerable to these types of wazas. The other issue that is far too common and most people don't realize when attempting to execute these types of methodologies is, that they are designed against determined aggressors. When you are doing some sort of sparring, it is a concept of give-and-take, where you are supposed to also be the aggressor and this is completely contrary to our wazas and the wazas you see demonstrated here. We don't spar in the street, we wait for that one moment of excessive aggression, or we step in a way that causes the aggressor to try and correct balance and we overwhelm them with strikes or body and joint manipulation, so there is no longer any possibility of counter-attack. The mindset we utilize is completely opposite to the mindset used in sparring with a prepared and willing opponent. One final understanding of this is we are always moving forward at angles never moving back ever, this is different than sparring. Secondly, we never look to find an opening in our opponent's defenses, we simply. position ourselves, in a way where openings automatically exist. When i teach my students, I teach them not to try to beat their opponent by moving faster or fake them to make a mistake o any of that, simply control the time and the space. If they have no space to put their foot or their body, they must choose an alternate location, this is controlling space. For example, if you are trying to advance on me with a jab and right cross combination, if I adjust to your left slightly you have to take a bigger step to stay in my space, at this point, I simply take my right foot and sweep your lead jabbing foot, causing you a sudden and unexpected loss of balance ( Ko uchi) then at the same time my right hand is striking the left side of your jaw, by traveling over the bend of your elbow of your extending left hand which is then immediately replaced by my left hand, which shuts off your Right-hand punch completely, sending you to the ground from the sweep and strike. Therefore I controlled the space you attempted to occupy and the time was controlled by interrupting your Right hand cross, by not allowing you to rotate and causing you to lose balance again stealing your time to recover. By the way Sensei Phil I see you are a Goju Sensei a fantastic art. I had the pleasure of being a Godan under Hanshi Lou Angel in Goju Karate who was under Peter Urban Sensei and Grandmaster Gogen The cat Yamaguchi in Japan in the early 60's. I am also 9th Dan in Japanese Combat Jujutsu under the Late Soke Michael DePasquale Jr and Sr out of NJ USA as well as training with GM Prof Wally Jay in Calif.

@Hanshi64 Honestly by tense I mean in terms of if you told a fully resistant Judoka to just keep a hold of you with full force. All of the technical ideas mean nothing when somebody is aggressively keeping a hold of you. I understand the ideas you have shared and i do apply some of them and have made them work but i do believe that following the pure Aikido methodology does not prepare you for maximum aggression and tension. I appreciate the response.

@@PhilDancer Sensei Phil, I also appreciate your experience and follow-up. I have been a Law Enforcement instructor for almost 40 years and still am currently as well as having actually worked and served in the field. I can tell you with 100% certainty, that when I have been held as you are describing many individuals in my life who were extremely strong and technically skilled, how true Jujutsu the root system of Aikido works does not make a big difference to be perfectly honest. The stiffer and more an opponent uses their muscle and tension to hold you the easier it is to manipulate that hold. Sensei Phil, think of it this way, if you put a Tiger in a very strong box, with enough determination the tiger will damage the box and escape, but if you put a net over the tiger he will never escape, because he fights himself. Here's an example you can try with your students, have them put you in a very strong powerful bear hug from behind. Now just completely relax your hips, knees, and body, but don't go limp. now as softly as possible slip your hip to one side or the other and as you do, let the opposite side leg ie. if you use your right hip to the right, use your left leg to simply slide with the hip and step behind the opponents Left leg, then simply twist and they will fall and lose the grip. I have students who are steel workers, wrestlers, Judokas, and bodybuilders that bench almost 600lbs, and a student who is 6'11 almost 400, all of them have grabbed me and tried to hold me and I have never had an issue, not because of who I am, but because the techniques work if applied properly by anyone. Also, you can do the same hold, very gently elevate your Right elbow up towards your opponent's Right arm at the same time twist your Left hip back in toward the opponent's Right hip, and it's a very easy escape from there. Sensei Phil, I understand you are a very qualified Martial artist, but until someone truly skilled in this type of training, actually shows you how incredibly easy it is, you will be stuck in your mind, in the belief that the way you see it, is in fact how it is. This is absolutely not the case Sensei, but for me to try and convince you otherwise over a keyboard is impossible. All I can tell you, from actual practical experience, is that I am saying absolutely works and would open your mind to so many other opportunities, that I believe would only enhance your martial journey. Otherwise, best of luck in your training and teaching Sensei Osu.

If I may, my response from a kung fu perspective is, generally while being held tightly i'll look to 1. use my full body weight in some manner/direction against one of their smaller joints to force a disruption where they MUST change position to try to re-grip since that's their intention at that moment. 2. this all must be done with good posture, head extended as tall as appropriate, tailbone sinks hanging in air, waist internally relaxed) So for example he grabs both my wrists tightly. For me to do a joint lock against his wrists, my full body has a full up-and-down frame feeling, arms have 'peng' energy (frame properties or dynamic frame) and then as i rotate my body one way and then back the other, i can position my hands to come around a circle around one of their wrists. Or I could turn my elbow in a somewhat vertical circle, placing elbow alongside his (horizontal circle i think is the typical aikido or judo approach?) and in that moment its all my weight against his gripped wrists. Sometimes there's heavy uncomfortable skin friction. I have to spin this technique against him back and forth while stepping to get past his arms right as the grip breaks to do a strike. Window of opportunity is very small, sometimes it works, and usually it breaks free after a few back and forth attempts using a few different option techniques. For other closer grips , lets assume the other guy is bigger than you, it can involve you taking certain pivot steps, rotating your body 90degrees or more, perhaps moving elbow in a circle . Maybe its two or three of these trained reactions back to back since the guy is constantly and naturally trying to restrain you. It's kind of like to do a full body throw or sweep trip with control at his upper arm and his leg at the exact same time, you have to be sneaky, or his body will try to rebalance automatically. Look at defensive tactics in wrestling. See Peterson grappling youtube channel. Lots of position reversals. Lots of taking advantage of high leverage. It takes a lot of training repetitions for familiarity and getting your good posture so you can effect high force in very specific directions against his weaker body part. Note often the arm 'frames' are used , consider brazilian jujitsu's use of a stiff straight arm as a frame. Very effective against strong force. We use other bent arm positions as frames, like 90degrees and also 135degrees, held in place at least in one axis as we spin the body to generate high torque. By keeping the frame you dont strain your own shoulder. Sorry if my logic is a bit disorganized. @@PhilDancer
