When My Aikido Failed me 😢 

Thank you Jason and Azu for being real. For not pulling any punches (lol) on effectiveness. You guys are awesome! Stay safe

Your stares towards and away from the camera are everything

Thanks for the vid. In addition, or as an alternative, you can bring your heel up into those peppers.

AWE YES THE INFAMOUS KARATE CHOP 2 THE OLD NUTZ WRKS LIKE A SNAKE CHARMER!!!!

Fyi... The reason you pass out from cutting off the blood supply via the arteries on both sides of the neck, not the windpipe. Regardless you are 100% correct with getting the chin down though.

You guys are so real, another great video !

Love that last part especially good sir !! " enjoy your training, in fact enjoy EVERYTHING that you do ! " -- if you don't, what's the point? Very very well said and well done with showing this technique, moreover equally powerful life lessons learned about challenges to your own personal beliefs, techniques, methodology and ideology into ANYTHING & EVERYTHING that you have learned !! Make damn certain that stuff is on point and effective, otherwise why carry around with you something that isn't working or broken even 😳😵🤔😊😁😔🙂 Again, very well done good sir !!! Sensei Lee, 3rd Dan Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu

I went through this exact thing with Shorin-ryu karate. I trained for 12 yrs and worked up to 2nd dan black belt. I was competing at the national level and thought I was the stuff. We had a guy come into our dojo who was a friend of a fellow bb. The guy asked me if I wanted to train Thai kick boxing and Kali/ arnis at his house. I was thinking; I will show this old skinny guy something. I totally underestimated him and overestimated my years of traditional karate. He handed me my lunch quite a few times that first time, and I trained another full week with him then gave up karate. Though I learned some good basics in karate It was far from being realistic in the streets for the most part.

If that isn't working for you. You can do a sitting sweep. Straddle the attacker's leg. Use your foot that is lined up with the center of his body, and hook his ankle. Then sit back. Their a very good chance that you'll break the attacker's ankle.

I miss my Aikido days, the days when I gained my Shodan. Someone did the hand lock of the video on me - I applied Sankyo and got out of it. I've been training BJJ for the last 3 years but still miss my Aikido days.

You could turn your head towards the wrist of the adversary as the arm is tapered that gives more breathing room and few extra seconds that could be life saving.

An excellent technique. Appreciate your videos.

Our class was Krav based,but we would steal any other style,if it worked-Krav Magpie.

thanks fellas great video

In Boxing,MMA or kickboxing it is called rhytm.In Traditional Martial Arts like Aikido it is clled Flow(Mushin).When you will reach this you are almost unbeatable but this requires a lot of time and proper practice.

To me this is the best channel out there . The way the show move to move AND say the name of the move is awesome. Best instructors on RU-vid! I just subscribed 👍 I’m 53 and thirst for this knowledge! Did I say they are the best ! I wish I could take classes

"enjoy everything, what you do..... if you don't... there is no point." (@10:12) yes.

it’s the blood flow to the brain being blocked that causes the problem. this will cause unconsciousness and then death

Really nice explanation :) If the attacker is positioned directly behind, it might be difficult to hit him with the elbow or fist. My way to create space in this situation is making my shoulders and back round and pushing my back against the attacker.

Hmmm...this type of choke has nothing to do with your windpipe or airway; it is the compression of the two main arteries of the neck...thus preventing the flow of blood to the brain. Having said that, keeping your chin down...initially...in this movement will give you space and time to escape.

Some small issues with this, The left hand is not engaged, it should be attacking the vagal nerve cluster or compressing the artery, or even just locking the right arm in place. When locked an attacker will often step back and place the defender off balance or even off their feet. To me forcing a hole by slipping the defenders arm inside the loop of the right arm and following the hand through would give several opportunities to counter-attack.

it is so cool that you make this move based on aikido move

Great advice!!! Thank you!!!

Awesome video.

Great tutorial on self-defense. Appreciate the content you guys are putting out here for us to watch and learn from!

God Bless them badasses

Nice and smart.thanks.

Hi Aikidoflow! One question: do you think it's safe for a musician to learn Aikido? I'm a violinist and I have to be careful not to injure my hands, but of all the martial arts, Aikido seems to me the most safe when it comes to training with the hands. Any suggestion? Thanks!

When things get real, method doesn't matter.

Flexing your abs to connect the upper body to the lower body, and lats to keep the elbows down, so that the arms are connected to the torso then dropping your weight by stepping into into a shikko dachi or Jigo hontai to get your waist below theirs is important to this sequence.

if it blocks the air you may have much more time, people can hold breath for about minutes, so given the stress situation the oxygen will run out faster but sure to get much more than 10 seconds. The more concerning thing is to prevent the blocking of blood flow , which if it is blocked you only get 5 seconds most. This is because even though you do not breath your blood still got plenty oxygen to carry around into the brain. But what happens if the blood flow just stop going to the head? yeah you will pass out very quickly. By the way this was the worst technic for chocking, it does not really chock anything, more like just a hold by the neck at best. A proper chocking technic is when the elbow is aligned with the Adam's apple, that way the biceps and the fore arm will squeeze both sides of the neck which will block the blood flow. As result the person will pass out in seconds mostly around 5 seconds even less if it is well executed. And in this scenario you have passed the opportunity to get off of it. So yes, before anything you must prevent it to close in tight to make the chocking technic to look like the one showed in the video and only then the things showed on the video will work. So the attention here is to make sure that you break the chocking technic to something showed in the video. (yes that is an already broken technic and the video does not explain well about this situation and what really is at steak and what really you must be concerned about at first) So if a guy close in with a perfect chocking technic there is not much to do in 5 seconds. You are done for it!!!! So no matter what never let a arm close in tight around your neck, training reflexes and awareness to prevent a technic to be perfectly execute is a key to break down and away from any kind of technic. But not much people explain this as it should so that why i decided to step in here. if wanna show off some truths you better show everything from beginning to end, every bit is important to understand what we need to train for so to be more effective to defend ourselves. if someone that does not understand this see the video and someone else attack this one with a perfect gripe, those technique will not work, nothing will work unless you have some weapon to really hurt the aggressor and luckily it will release you. It all have to account the mind set of each individual too, not every one will stop just because got hurt. So depending on the scenario the only way to get out is to make the other one pass out first than you. So for reasons, always be aware. Maintain a strategic distance at all costs. Never give your back away. In case one closes in from behind be well trained to reach it so you guarantee it to break any type of hold of you specially around your neck weakest part. So reflexes training will help to react as fast as milliseconds to anything that pass by your neck. And you will be safer for sure, also to be able to gain time needed to continue to react and evolve setups for more techniques to get back to the aggressor. Know about body weaknesses. To cause pain and most importantly to know how to protect yourself. The best offense is a good defense.

Good Move!!!!

Love the channel 🥋 Keep it up 👍🏼

good principle there sensei took your chin in for protection where is your attackers body is that position drop Atemi waza into ribs knock stuffing out of him wind him smash a rib solar plexus on the street i would 😁 but that is good wrist techinque when fully applied sanko & yes sensei 2nd video you actually showed atemi waza ⛩☯ to allow your technique to be applied kuzushi atemi = techinque keep up your good work & go with the flow with aikido flow OSU thank you arigato

Good. You used Atemi Waza (strikes techniques) . Atemi waza is a fundamental part of Aikido. Some Aikidokas don't do atemi waza at the dojo. Remember Morihei Ueshiba said Aikido is Irimi and Atemi.

Aikido us far from perfect but I think in combination with something super aggressive like muai tai it's pretty viable Although that kind of goes against O,sensei's philosophy of harmony.

I am from 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Looking at the comments, I think you should do a video on the difference between air chokes and blood chokes.

What about if you pinch at the tricep.. I think he will let go its painful... Andrea technique 🤔

Awesome tips too!

I think you have been watching Master Wong

Aikido should be blended with jujutsu and karate as well

Great demo bro!

why you dont use black pants?

What you know about Rollin down in the deep

Like the Romans take the best from every martial art and you will rule

best martial arts, actually work

Is Karate + Krav Maga + BJJ + Akido + Muay Thai a good combination Because i am already pretty familiar with karate and Muay Thai + know some throws and several Joint Locks and generally fight often both for fun and actual fights

Back kick in the groin?

Why is he not locking his arm around his neck with his other hand

As much as ive watche KHABIB choke out his opponent....he doesn't use one hand...he use two of his hands and with all the energy hi has in him...and he rear choke them along with there jaw.. twisting it in oder to hurt them just beyond blocking the pipe... Wish there was a video for that survival

Not sure about this guys what if the guy hold his arm as well

I'm a martial artist/scientist with 50 plus years experience. I've said this a thousand times. Art is as unimportant in a fight as caliber is in a shooting. The most important thing in a life and death situation is training intentions and mental state. If Andre the giant GOD rest his soul were struck in the eye with a 32acp or a 22lr he would be neutralized. If you do judo or Aikido for example what are your intentions in a bar fight with a drunken miscreant ? How did you prepare for this in training are you intending on knocking or choking him out ? Is he going to stab you when you grab him should you grab him ? How is he attacking you ? Whether I'm doing Tang soo do or Kempo SD an eye gouge and strike to the windpipe are the same. Aikido is USUALLY done by gentlemen or women who have NEVER been in a life threatening situation and don't train this way. As a child we laughed at the guys in dresses in Aikido. Masters Jeff B and J L Fain made me a believer in Aikido by summarily man handling me while I tried to figure out what TF was going on. They are special forces ex military officers who are killers. Their Aikido is GEARED towards SD not elegance beauty or niceties. I had the great fortune of training with a judo master that threw me and choked me UNCONSCIOUS in practice because I asked what would happen if I attacked you like this ? I know TKD men who do fantastic in a tournament but would be destroyed in REAL life. I know of TKD men like Masters Cain and the Kim brothers who are dangerous in REAL life fighting BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY WERE TRAINED. Aikido can be neutered or it can be devastating and beautiful. There's no better styles ONLY better men. Osu and respect. 🙏🏼🐅🐉

I'm not used to a teacher with emotions. It makes me think they are saying something worth pondering.

I learned my aikido threw the Krav Maga understanding

Hey

What if someone surprised you with a Brazilian" Mata leão" (lion kill"")? I think people would like to understand how to get rid of that. Damn dangerous that move

Why don't you hit hard on his groin with your hand when both hands are free?? That groin strike would loosen the grips of any, no matter how strong he is. And to make it even more painful, you can crush the groin instead of trying to hit it!! Post this, you can engage in your fancy Aikido moves 😊

First

Pretty sad that coach gets choked out by insanely basic choke by a nobody 🤣 goes to show how useful aikido is

Anyone gonna tell himg the bg is not actually even applying a choke? Ez to win when the attacker doesnt even choke u lol.

How about a bite 😁😁😁 and then a kick in the 🥚🥚.

Hopefully it didn’t fail you in prison.

i could make a video of "times when my dojo failed me". starting with being unable to move or breathe for 3 weeks. then following up with times after that i decided to defend myself an got chewed out for it. so pretty much training in a gym with others would have weakened me. if you train light sparring light hits is all you'll ever know. i suppose this is why boxers an some other fighters for 70 years look like noobs even when labeled "goat". tyson always interested me cause he looked like one of the only fighters to ever know how to fight till then.

I don’t want to see these two dudes, bring back that beautiful black girl!

just do judo and bjj, this is nonsense.

I never seen anyone doing a choke like this. You choke with one hand and massage his shoulder with the other one? Also why your face so open ? Please, learn how to choke first.

But what if you're weak chinned? Hahaha ,no good info mate.

Akido sucks. JKD is the answer or to buy a weapon.
