  • Looks similar to the Principle OF Maximum Efficiency taught in Judo.

  • If you move first, and then he "hits", it is not realistic. For bad presentation. Dislike. :)

  • Nice video.I was reminded of something.look on my channel., my video might remind you of some strokes

  • It really helps the baseball guy if he "swings" it.

  • same principles when facing a foe with a samurai sword.

  • @neils68 absolutely! and the result? Termination.

  • I wish i'll have the control of my moves the way you do, @EnsoAikido :)

  • John Lennon vs Chapman

  • Nice video, ignore some of these other wankers.

  • @Kazex1987 Thank you.

  • @Kazex1987 If we are the OTHER wankers then who are the wankers?

  • Comment removed

  • @Kazex1987 Its bad grammar as your comment in its structure is saying that Ensoakido is a wanker or was that intentional? By the way its sentEnce not sentAnce

  • @Kazex1987 Urban dictionary: Sentance - The improper spelling of sentence by a high strung person, normally a Republican.

  • Comment removed

  • @Kazex1987 Not only did you Misspell sentence and use incorrect grammar you "Misspelled" Misspelled. Little man? Just how do you know? Have you been hanging around the showers?

  • Ridiculous and ineffective, as most others have also realized. The speed of the bat determines the effectiveness of this disarm. My cat could have swung a faster accurate shot..

  • @Falchorn585 If you would like to see some unscripted full-speed demonstrations of this concept, please check out AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2] in the Video Responses

  • I view most of these videos like the advert that came up on this page." Learn one of the most devastating martial arts in the world! RIGHT IN YOUR OWN HOME! The complete Muay Thai home study course". Anybody who imagines u can get street fighting skills that deal with a real time street fight from a DVD or a video on UTUBE need their bumps feeling. These videos r interesting & thought provoking but in the real world nothing else.

  • use the force nerd

  • This kind of "training" video should be illegal. People are going to watch this, and learn the bullshit you have taught them...and get a baseball bat laid of the side of the head. You should be ashamed of yourself for teaching this.

  • @TheDarkVII Why do you think this is "bullshit?" More than a few folks have commented that this concept has worked for them in real life. I am not offering any guarantees here, just ideas.

    What do you think someone should do in this type of situation if escape is not an option?

  • I understand the video was a simulated attack, but even still it is totally impractical. This however is not the way street attacks happen. The attacker would aim the Bat towards your weakest point, your head. The BEST way to defend this attack would be to reduce the gap between you and the attacker and get into his space, so that he has no room to swing the bat. In your video you are relying on the attacker to be a brainless idiot.

  • @TheDarkVII You say this is impractical, but u don't back it with any logic except to say that the attacker would swing at the head instead of the body. So what? you can still move in and turn with it.

    "The BEST way to defend this attack would be to reduce the gap between you and the attacker and get into his space, so that he has no room to swing the bat."

    ...that is exactly what this technique is about: moving inside the power arc of the swing.

  • Comment removed

  • @EnsoAikido No...what THIS video shows is a guy making a half assed attempt at swinging a bat at you. You then skip out of the way, grab the bat and the guy rolls onto the floor.

    If you ever meet an attacker with a baseball bat I HOPE he is as retarded as the man in the red...because if not, you are a DEAD man! Look up KRAV MAGA stick defence videos. Much more effective in my opinion.

  • @TheDarkVII As MixmasterWright and others have testified, this concept is sound (not the same as easy to do, btw). Slowing an attack or technique down for the purposes of clear demonstration is very common in martial arts instruction. However, if you would like to see this concept in action against unscripted full-speed attacks, please check out AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2] in the Video Responses.

  • @TheDarkVII KRAV MAGA stick defense... Search ElWf_DJ6Iik on YouTube.

    Martial artists should not quarrel over styles. It's all good...

  • @EnsoAikido Pull out a 45 and settuwit!

  • @TheDarkVII By that logic I would say all training videos are going to be a waste of your time. Just watching a video and thinking you can apply it will result in people getting knocked out or worse. Good technique requires practice and some reflexive movement. Aikido is hard to master but effective if you get it right. However it is not something I would try to learn from a 1:26 video either. In that sense I agree with you. However the premise behind this technique can function. 

  • @TheDarkVII I don't know about you but I've stopped about 5 baseball bats( same fight couln't take it out of the guys hands) this was really useful and I look forward to the next guy thats gonna come at me swinging

  • Bow to your sensai! BOW TO YOUR SENSAI!!!!! this guy reminds me of napoleons dynamites brother

  • Stop. Just stop already. This is a joke right?

  • nice! I like these techniques...

  • Stupid americans think your good at everything and act pro

  • It would be nice to see a dedicated attack and not slow and projected attack being stopped on cue. Granted people with years of practice and constant training can do that in a real scenario but like others have posted that is a last resort option, what you want to do is just break contact and get away.

  • @Dragoon444 Sounds like you'd be interested in another video we did with full-speed attacks. You can find it under this video's Video Responses: AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2]. Thanks for watching.

  • Comment removed

  • obviously you've never had a fight with a black person

  • @EnsoAikido you lost me there, mate..

  • Serious??? 

  • @Juicemasta88 Anyone can be a Sensei to someone else, if the student open to learning. I am not trying to play a part. I am just being myself, dork as I may be. I believe martial arts should help us learn to be more positive and authentic human beings, not bullies who enjoy inflicting suffering.

  • @EnsoAikido sorry but you know you have at least master akido

  • @EnsoAikido The part you missed is that a person NEVER refer to himself as a Sensei, his students do. Its abit like respect, you have to earn it, you can not claim to have it, or in this case be it.

    But thank you for a laugh.

  • @EnsoAikido Well, you have to teach wisdom to be an authentic human being and conflict avoidance should be taught to everyone. If everyone were to do this fights would drop by 75% worldwide because people would recognize when something made them angry and stop themselves right away to prevent feeling angry. Fighting, regardless of the form will always instill pride and can never be used to create peace because you will come to the conclusion that since you are stronger you force

  • i hate all these retarded defense videos. just for once i would like to see someone try this with someone actually swinging a baseball bat. the guy defending can even know how the guys is going to swing it i dont care. prove to me that this would work in even a best case scenario.

  • @RobbE1234567890 why not check out our other video on the subject, AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2]. It features unscripted full-speed attacks...

  • congtrats showing poeple about how much off pussies you two are 

  • BULL SHIT

  • to slow..

  • IM CALLIN BULLSHIT STRAIGHT AWAY YA WEAK CUNT 

  • noob, he gave him the bat back

  • i would kick that guys ass, stupid ass gay shit.

  • That's a nice bat

  • i just love giving my enemy back his weapon

  • swing the bat hard, like you mean to kill then lets see your skills.

  • whats with the dislikes?

  • Not giving the bat back after disarming the attacker might be a good plan ;-)

  • l lol the little

  • ok i did judo for a long time and nobody with decent balance will fall unless you put a leg underneath his....so i doubt the guy will fall down like that

  • if i was the one holding the baseball bat.... his moves wouldn't be working.... This is so fake and wouldn't work in real life

  • @buyneee well said :D

  • @buyneee I'm sure you are very dangerous. Did you happen to notice that there are many comments from people who have reported using this concept in real life?

  • Comment removed

  • @EnsoAikido There are not many comments from people who have used this technique in real life because they are all dead. Funny coicidence though they were all diagnosed as having contracted BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA!

  • @TickleMaTurkey haha. trauma is not "contracted," it is incurred or experienced. but really, I've read at least five comments since this video was posted from folks who claim to have had success with this in real life. It's just a concept though, not a guarantee. I'm not even claiming it's easy, just a LAST RESORT.

  • @EnsoAikido `The attacker in a demonstrations always over extends & walks forward 2 make it easy for the defender. In real life the attackers plants his feet and swings.

  • @EnsoAikido I am not disrespecting u but the MA's in general gives unwarranted confidence to people who know techniques but have no clu how 2 fight. Thats why they get in2 a fight and wake up in emergency thinking "that didn't go right" Ever seen the film "foot fist way"?Theres more reality in that film than in all the "dedicated" martial arts films put together

  • Not bad but for the sake of all the none belivers out there it would have been shown beter with a comitted attack and showning a few more methods against that type of attack

  • @Samw1121 Thanks. Perhaps you and they will be interested in AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2] in Video Responses...?

  • lol people just dont understand that this form of martial arts is to make sure not only the defender is safe but also the attacker.. if anything he will get tired of being swung around and give up.. so many techniques give you the opportunity to severely injure and even kill an attacker but that is not what Aikido is about... lol and im just a 16 yr old with absolutely no training... very nice demonstration

  • how about for a knife?

    

  • @XoXoBlackCrowXoXo We have three videos on knife defense so far. please visit our channel. Thanks for watching.

  • i love to hold onto that baseball bat n try it on with that dude ... i guarantee u he will down on the floor within 10 sec the longest :)

  • ISN'T CHOREOGRAPHY WONDERFUL/ no matter what the latest fighting techniques are ..... there will be a new one out next week

  • aikido ha ha ha ha ha what a joke ...about as dangerous as linedancing....ok if you want to defend your self from a 6 yr old girl guide....lol

  • whats funny is that theres not really anyway to "defend" against a baseball bat swing if you try your gonna get hurt and most likely somethings getting broken

  • @l3054 In my experience, if you have a negative attitude, you are very likely to fail, yes. Nothing is impossible though. This is just a concept, not a guarantee...

  • try doing that with somebody actually swinging it fast newb

  • @vi3tmp3 If you would like to see some full-speed techniques, please check out AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2] under Video Responses.

  • Wow, this is such shit. My daughter swings the bat harder than that so why not do it in real life and real speed. Give me a bat and lets see how far you get. Will I know yoru nuts will be flying out of the park along with your pride. Sorry dude, this video is pathetic.

  • @georgegeorgejesus The reduced speed is for the sake of clear demonstration of the concept. If you want to see some full-speed techniques, check out AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2] in the Video Responses.

  • @georgegeorgejesus It's so you can see, dummy.

  • @georgegeorgejesus i think this was a tutorial or a demo, cause we usually train much faster than that (atleast where I go)

  • all i know is that most ppl watching this video dont know what aikido is. this video was made for educational purposes. and he fell down because of cotegesh. not, him grabbing his arm

  • nobody will swing that slow, and nobody is pussy enough to fall from you grabbing thier arm

  • @KarLTshirt it is not grabbing there arm if you notice it is cotegesh i beleive is how to spell i

    and it is very you turn the wrist very specifically in an order very simple that it hurts from the slightest twist

    GOD... why does noone understand aikido

  • yea its safe to dodge a bat at 1/123 real speed * - * sincirally guy who tried doing this trick against friend and broke knee

  • By the way, these guys are complete idiots. Their advice will get you KILLED.

  • Maybe an expert in Aikido can defend against a bat. But what if the guy with the bat is ALSO an expert in Aikido?

    Best course of action is RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. The guy will have to drop the bat to catch you.

  • @mymusicvldeos Thanks for re-stating my disclaimer in the Description. Escape IS the best option when facing an armed attacker.

    To answer your question, if the guy with the bat is also an expert in Aikido, there will be nothing to defend because Aikido experts to not attack people (except when practicing Aikido together).

  • no, just no. 

  • @hazard2000 Lol. "2 hands" how many does he have?

  • Do not try this if the guy with the club is not your friend.

  • Haha you're retarded if you think that will work! Give anyone that same bat and a reason to smash your face in and they will fucking smash your face in!

  • on the first one if he followed through and swung full force your forarms or ribs would be shattered, on the 2nd a simple repositioning of the feet would render the takedown useless, 3rd, if you tried to grab a bat in mid swing at full force you would have 2 broken hands, then as he followed through with his swing you would catch it in the mouth to

  • @hazard2000 Ouch!You put all of it into perspsctive.

  • i've got my doubts about the first two techniques, but the last one would defenetly work if the openent doesn't let the bat lose.

  • wooow, awesomeeee!!!! I really want to lear aikido so I can be as good as you. Do I need a beard an glasses too?

  • Let me hit him

  • also if you try and catch a bat ur gonna get your hands broken. Try and defend yourself against rape with no hands.... that'd be a million view video!

  • thats great and all but a street attacker does not do a frontflip when you grab his arm

  • @CantThinkOfAName420 yeah, i imagine it would be more of a face-plant. the fall is for the safety of the partner, so he can continue to practice...

  • @EnsoAikido ur a dumb shit and i hope you get man raped and fail to protect yourself with these phony techniques.

  • Let me take a swing at ya and we'll see if that works bro!!! I mean if... IT REALLY works! lol

  • ... wow that guy swings a bat like a pussy..

  • not in real speed with some one who wants to hurt you. its pretty but not realistic. no one in ufc uses ai kido. you can only hope to get lucky with such skills.

  • @TheCoon891 ..You do realize almost all martial arts were around before ufc right? Everyone seems to be a ufc obsessed fanboy who thinks he's a fighting dynamo because he orders all ufc payperviews these days. I'd like to see a ufc fighter take on a 70 year old master of any old martial art. Jesus martial arts have been trivialized.

  • @Innominemephisto i am a gracie jiu jitsu blu belt, judo, wing chun,and shotokan ryu karate expert you do realize ufc is the ultimate showcase of skills right? keep dreaming buddy ai kido is great dont get me wrong but its the last art i will master

  • @TheCoon891 you must have a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooong life man....

    Mastering an art would take decades....

  • karate suit

    aikido technique

    baseball bat, as a weapon

    dafuq is this

  • Вот ведь клоуны!

  • extreme slow swings with no power behind it

  • What if the bat has nails in it?

  • Slow ass swings

  • now hit him like you would hit some1...

    not a pussy slap

  • So you'd have more trouble with a left handed batter?

  • ok sorry man, I like aikido but speed that swing up to 'real time' and go for the knees you won't be doing any of that.

  • @lastusertosignup Of course not - if he went for the kness you'd have to jump for your life :-). If the swing was sped up though, the technique would also speed up and the effect would be more intense. But this is a demonstration of movement and so going at a controlled speed is necessary.

    That said, some of the techniques did look a little sloppy in places, but that could be due to the relaxed nature of the demonstration.

  • @lastusertosignup We did a full speed version recently. See the video responses, please. No knee-swings in that one either though. Maybe that and thrusting attacks next time...?

  • @lastusertosignup if somebody is gonna swing at your knee why the fuck wouldnt you move your leg? just asking that question proves you know jack shit about martial arts. a downward strike makes it really easy to not get hit. less reach more recovery. think before you post.

  • ok that fruit cup cant swing a bat

  • if that was a full swing your ribs would get blown in half

  • @fapjack77 Not if executed properly - its' the laws of physics. Rather than standing at the predicted point of impact, the defender moves inside the danger arc, harnessing the arm in the process. Rather than stand there and take the impact, he turns in a circular fashion within the swing, absorbing the energy from the swing and converting it back to potential energy rather than kinetic.

  • @fapjack77 The reason the bat ends up by his ribs is because by that point is because when the vast majority of energy has gone from the swing, he then secures it close to his body rather than allowing it to dangle out in front of him, where he is weak and could easily be overpowered. The same is true if someone swings a wooden or metal nunchuka at you - harness the movement, go with it, absorb the weapon. Having done it myself, I can testify it works.

  • @RKSloth Excellent!

  • mmm menos gracias tiene este video !!

    

  • id just like 2 point out that u should try catching that bat if some1 actually swings it like they mean it...........cuz.........your screwed

  • @portuguesepsycho1389 The idea is not to catch the bat. It is to move inside the arc of power. Please check out our sequel: AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2]. Peace.

  • Hey you stole this fron Rex kown do! now bow to your sinsi!

  • Why do I feel like I'm watching Napoleon Dynamite?

  • Aikido is Bull....

    If some one touches me for more than 2 seconds

    Le parrrtoooo la madre

    Fuck Aikido

  • Stop swinging so fake, and swing that bat like you mean it! The way you're swinging it looks like you're trying to hit him more with your hands than with the bat. I can assure you that if you really swung that bat like you're suppose to, not only would that guy be unable to deflect it, but you would also knock the shit out of him.

  • @jgm0524 And if you take an AK-47 and start firing you would most surelly beat the shit out of him aswell, but this is a demonstration, meant for practicing, they´re not swinging at full speed nor trying to murder their mate. Read the description.

  • he looks like soul khan.

  • Shit like this is why I always hit people with a baseball bat from behind.

  • @mrrusss good one

  • I HATE getting ninja'd when I'm straight thuggin! It's a bitch! I'm just minding my own, attempting to obtain some tax-free income and then out of NO WHERE I get my bat taken away! What kinda bullshit is THAT?!

  • If he'd stop handing him the bat back he wouldn't need to defend him self gawd, lol jk works pretty well love the flow and how you go with the swing :)

  • @minetehe Haha : ) Thanks for the kind words.

  • he was swingin slow

  • i bet cha in a real life situation, this shit would be impossible

  • awesome!

  • gimmi that bat

  • ...really really large feet ^^

  • you should use a wiffle bat at full speed just to really see how affective this is. I mean, hand placement seem so important in Aikido that only a m-m-mega master would ever be able to use it IRL. But..... maybe AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2] discusses this, so heading there now!

  • what if someone actually aims for u with the bat and not your invisible partner lol.

  • first of all how gay is he swinging the bat. lets see him grab that bat at full swing dun think his arm will be able to take it.

  • The main advantage of a bat is you don't need to get too close. This dufus steps right into the other guy. What a joke

  • In boxing...you are supposed to use techniques that motion you towards your opponent because the whole point isn't to back down...people say "oh well i'll just back away"...but then you give them a second chance to swing....one way or another...if someone is attacking you with a weapon...you have to attack them or face the chance of them attacking you....

    PERIOD...*clicks the like button*

  • What if someone attacks you with a banana?

  • @nberedim Then you´re dead, it is known for centuries bananas are aikido-proof, therefore deadly as fuck. :)

  • looks more like a dead men walking

  • Love the coreography.... how about jumping into a ring with a boxer or a mma fighter now?

  • i love how he is swinging the bat slow fuckin mow who the fuck would swing that slow if they wanted to fuckin hit you with a bat

  • LET ME TAKE A BAT 2 U BELEAVE ME YOU WELL NOT HAVE TIME TO MOVE.

  • just give me the fucking bat. ill knock his ass out

  • Sweet good to know!..... But what if a guy actually attacks me with a bat and doesn't just give me the bat and then do a forward roll?

  • @bennygzor hahaha 

  • I agree. If I had watched the "Part 2" video where you state right up front not to wait for the swing, I wouldn't have made my comment. Your 2nd video explains that completely and I agree. If someone comes at me with a bat I am not waiting for the swing, I am moving in immediately. Thanks for your reply.

  • @Rickholly74 No problem. Thanks for a the comment. I'm sure many others were wondering the same thing... Peace.

  • My only comment is that the defender in this video is often moving before the attacker has started to swing and the swing is in slow motion at best. A real swing of a baseball bat is not something anyone should try to stop. I think it might be best to get out of the way and try to attack after the swing or move in immediately and cut off the distance so the attacker can't swing. I think it's dangerous to make students think they can stop a bat.

  • @Rickholly74 It's true, the defender does NOT wait for the attacker to start the actual swing; instead, he moves in as the attacker is drawing the bat back. I would also like to clarify: the idea is NOT to stop the bat. The idea is to move inside the arc and use the motion of the swing to take the attacker off balance. Please see our other video on the subject, AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2]

  • The guy doesn't even swing the bat...

  • It would be nice (if) you actually showed a REALISTIC demonstration. In real life the assailant would never let you get that close to him to even have a chance at grabbing the bat. He or she might also try to ram you with it nose first, or clobber you on the head with it, much like using a hammer!! If you're going to demonstrate, at least demonstrate something realistic!!!!

  • @budo4ever If he doesn't want to be close to me, how can he hit me? The attacks you describe are quite possible, but I really think the simple swing is the most likely and therefore the most realistic attack. Your suggestions are interesting though. Maybe we can address them in the future. Thanks for watching. Please check out AIKIDO VERSUS BASEBALL BAT [2] for full-speed demonstration with more overhead attacks

  • only a red princess to do an attack so f*cking slow... omg...

  • This move looks very difficult to pull off in real time.
