[TheJgraves15]

Great technique excellently demonstrated. I've seen this in sooo many segal movies

[glassman530]

Great Video, i always enjoy your tutorials. Thanks for sharing your knowldege

[aoshi3000]

Your videos are awesome you should create your own channel

i hope you take my recomendation

[MrShadesky]

You confus maybe with Shomen uchi nizamelmok...

[nizamelmolk]

What the hell? Yokomenushi is supposed to be a strike to the side of the HEAD, not neck -.-'

[bobthedemon1975]

He could of at least chosen an uke who knew how to fall correctly (he should go down on his oposite leg for oposite sides) and one who doesn't look like a tramp.

[TheScouseExile]

@bobthedemon1975 i thought he looked quite dashing

[TokenSamurai]

intermediate...i think not. That move works but you need speed and timing to pull it off. 

[joshuathejedi]

Is it just me, or would this guy totally beat a boxer?

[sheepow2]

bonk!

It seems to me that trying to outside of a hook punch would not be as easy or as simple as he's making it look. My senseis always say to go inside an attack that comes in from the outside (like this hook punch or a yokomen) unless you absolutely have to.

[Deke101]

@storyacoustic Agreed. The thing is, when an attack is performed, you may find yourself outside the attack and too late to move in. You can NOT get hung up on ONE technique and how it should be performed. Techniques should be learned, ingrained, then forgotten. Techniques are a stepping stone to learn an overall principle and system of fluid movement. Once you learn to ride the bike, you no longer think about all the little things that make it possible.

[Deke101]

Of COURSE this is not the only way or most effective way to deal with this particular attack. This is a TECHNIQUE. This is a video on how to perform THIS technique. The name of the video is NOT "The End All, Be All of How to Deal With This Attack." It is the name of just THIS technique. Can we all get a clue and get along now?

[storyacoustic]

@Deke101 WIZDOM!

[Aikijujitsu12]

Many people have made negative comments to your videos. I appologize for their ignorance. I have watched many of your videos and your videos have been very helpful to me when trying to remmeber what i learned in class. Domo Arigato Gaizaimashita

[mmaninjitsu]

the reason this technique is working so well against this man is because he has his feet both PARALLEL AND KNEES LOCKED

He has no shock absorbers at all

[jadewillow]

this is some good stuff... very practical~

[imahotboywhois13]

i like aikido because you get to throw them around and knock them down easy and fast!!

[Barlow991]

Never seen it done this way before,

Normally you step to the side of them instede of steping to the side of the punch so you use the neck to break the balance and then just make a circular motion with your arm to keep them off balance as you throw,

With a person with a strong upper body i dont think the technique shown will work effectivly

[marcopolo2001]

Excellent instruction. Thank you.

[donbonnema]

lol always wondering why people post BS at video's

nice tech but some still use to much own power in my opinion, i like to make a oponent fall with only his own strength.

[rhesus2108]

The defense for the hook punch is interesting. I think that kind of attack is far more realistic than shomenuchi or yokomenuchi, yet, you don't see ukes using hook punches often in Aikido demonstrations.

[MrJudo15]

@kura. The person who attacks as already defeated themselves

[MrJudo15]

Who would win in a fight? Sensei Gary or Sensei Steve seagal??? Place ur bets! Lol

[TheKura666]

@MrJudo15 The one who ATTACK would win.

[KayC2SLO]

@MrJudo15 chuck norris can roundhouse kick them both. LOLLL. sorry, it had to be said. (:

[superspectator123]

Thank you for this instruction. Very good.

[MrJudo15]

U dnt want to be here!:D

[bailashtoreth]

lol. i thought "bonk" was hilarious too.

[MrJudo15]

Gary ur awsome!!!

[hisagisan]

Bonk! Lol

[jeffnicholas16]

gary boaz is a badass

[Digifutures]

very cool technique

[Lexicologist71]

Ukenegashi (sp?) is a pretty slick move. I'm gonna have to start practicing that. For those that don't know, irimi nage can be finished with a ridge hand or an elbow, so don't think that just because he's using the pit of his elbow that's the only way to do it. Irimi nage can be a lethal technique if desired.

[619Christerio]

up up up up down ;)

[shionagenikyo]

Nice.

[imthemaker]

i have to be desagre here... because his using only strenght to take to uke down... irimi is about to control the balance... not to knock the oponent down whit the arm. instead use the bosy position to doit so... the arm is suposed to be a guide. not an atemi.

[shakou1]

Depends on your style and application, an irimi-nage is basically clothes lining someone so in a street application you can use the arm as a strike to good effect

[imthemaker]

im agree... but in street you can do all... im talking about technique... the technique is not supose to be a strike.... not talking about armony but flow. as you said... on street you can use your arm to strike... but you can pop eyes, hit testiculs... ehatever... but on dojo your training to learn a specific technique... at least thats the way i see it... it is just my opinion... not trying to argue... i respect your teaching... your techniques are efective...

[shihonage]

shakou- When I was 4th kyu irimi nage was all about clotheslining someone.

Later I learned how it actually works.

[sunreaper2]

there is one japanese saying: ten people ten colours... ;)

[tubetubetube]

I like to say "ten peoples, eleven colours."...

[iamanonymous12]

I want to know how you do your combat breathing. I can hear it and it sounds like its amazing, but I havent seen any videos on it.

[acinonyxjubatus]

combat breathing is exercised a lot for beginners with the technique kokyu ho. After a while it becomes second nature and you learn to use it in your favor :)

[11xr1east]

can technique defeat a very strong person who has high tolerance for pain?

[kdocki]

Around 0:50 be careful not to hurt the Uke's kidneys...

[riisimees]

speed matters

[jaypresinal]

i love irimi nage

[ayumistic]

yeah!!

[webley566]

lol "Bonk".......sorry

[traveller89]

hey, what if the blocked hand (right hand of the assailant) is still free enough that he elbowed the teacher's(sensei's) ribs??

and how would you counter a normal cowboy fist-to-the-face punch?

[AikidoNord]

Choose a real sensei to practice like Christian Tissier Shihan For Exemple

[SepticX]

Respectfully,

I may have a different perspective as I dont study aikido but...

I would guess that a common question is: "what about the opponents off hand, aren't you exposed to the second attack?"

[BattlemanBG]

I could be wrong, but in aikido, one of the main things is to take him out of balance. I think if he tries to punch him, he would fall alone, without the Sensei's help. And It all depends on speed...

[AikidoNord]

Of course

obviously

This guy is Really a sensei???????????????

[leandrovilante]

I also dont see much technique on their aikido, specialy against the punch. I´m not an expert, but already saw a lot of masters styles.

[jgutie06]

are you out of your mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this guy is great!!!!! I´ve been on Aikido since 1998 and believe me this gay is a real master.

[demonio160969]

ahahahahah

real master ???  u don't know what ur saying....

ahahahahahahah

[jgutie06]

@demonio160969

I´veen in Aikido since 1999, I believe I can recogniza a great t master.

Do you recommend a video?

Or at least back up your comment with an explanation of why you think otherwise.

[kulni]

search "comkaijudo"

for more aikido vid.

[chickenbento]

You don't step back in yokomen uchi . Enter in a circular movement and LEAD the attack . What's all this atemi with every waza ? AikiDO or AikiJUTSU なの ?

[kyushoaikiguy]

Hmmm. I hate it when people give me absolutes. There are just so few absolutes in life and to chain yourself down in the box of your own rigidity is very limiting. Like I've stated before, I don't use atemi just for fun. That's why I teach kyusho ;) I use atemit to lead the attacker's mind into a harmonious resolution of the conflict whatever it is in the moment. Besides...you have your own aikido, I have mine. I like mine just fine but thanks anyway. Post some of yours for comments.

[PARR53]

kyushoaikiguy I love your style of Aikido! Its very martial and more in touch with reality when it comes to the aggressiveness needed to end a conflict on the street as quickly as possible before it turns into a brawl. I train Aikido myself (Dojin Aikikai) as well as Shito Ryu Karate and alittle bit of Kali. I would love to learn alot of the techniques you teach. I really enjoy your emphasis on atemi waza. My Sensei (Jim Wood 5th Dan) put emphasis on Atemi as well depending on the technique.

[kyushoaikiguy]

Thank you sir. Tell Wood Sensei I said hello. It's been awhile since I've seen him.

It's easy to learn the techniques...I have a ton of them on here and Expert Village! Just watch them and start working on them with some ukes.

I do put more empasis on atemi than most, but you must keep in mind that it is not just atemi for the sake of punching or kicking someone. The goal is always to lead the attacker's mind in harmony with the situation. Thanks again!

[omegaice8]

I have never seen Aikido in a fight

[JunebugPresentsLLC]

Maybe because most people in the world don't practice aikido? Just maybe? What do you think?

[steveecker]

Steven Segal? Besides, there's a question that is primarily for Aikido, it goes as follows: "Who wins if two aikidokas fight?" And the answer is simply, "They don't."

[dantemustkill]

no one gets that though

[hoIIa31]

aikido for me is "Self Defense"...

[bananabread119]

Aikido have any ground technique??

[zDSpider]

I think that if you train in aikido and go down, you have failed as a student. Most people understimate the turn in aikido (tenkan). Please don't. It works pretty well.

For power-based martial arts, most practitioners aim to quickly end the fight with one hit. If the attacker gets the point he'll probably back off (unless he's really determined). Same in aikido. If you dodge him and use gravity against him once (or several times) and make him see it's useless, he'll probably get the point.

[elianatora]

@zDSpider ye but what if he dosent what do u do next ?

[zDSpider]

@elianatora You pull out a knife.

Just kidding. :D

[tysphonebooth]

Yeah, It has tons of ground techniques

[eeyaheeyah]

yup. they are called pins and or joint lock transfer

[gmkaze]

Uke is not good!

[simpsimpsimpson]

lol 00:11 =))))

[burt2800]

what was then? do you mean the "bong"?

[simpsimpsimpson]

yeah :))

[steveecker]

lmao, i paused it at :10 to read the comments... and as soon as I hit play after reading this... "Bong" lmao... rofl

[Aur0rah]

actually that wasnt so bad.

[thmn556]

nice move....either wy u pronounce it.....

[batlin]

This very smoothly-executed technique reminds me a bit of a Choy Lay Fut kung fu technique (although in that one, the defender tries to step his forward leg behind the attacker's legs which helps a little).

I don't think this would work so easily for short guys like myself, against taller attackers though?

[Aur0rah]

there are some real dangers with this type of approach but it will work in some instances.

[Derukugi2]

We practise this differently, but these are very nice variations, and the demonstration is superb. Very clear, and a very good uke.

[Aur0rah]

yes , what is practiced in dojo is often not same as what you see in randori , wich also means free form.

[afiqsince86]

aikido is a very cool lookin martial art~~

[NewZealfighter]

what he calls ou-kin-ah-shi I have seen the system guys use.Nice! the pieces of the puzzle are comming together

[kyushoaikiguy]

I get a LOT of stuff from Systema. Those dudes are incredible. It's just so difficult to learn. Systema takes a ton of practice because even though it is totally natural, we have "unlearned" how to move. By the way, the deflection is called "uke nagashi" and I'm told it means "collapsing deflection" or something like that. Thanks for the comment!

[NewZealfighter]

I like the fact you take the time to check out your comments.I will continue to check you stuff out.

[Derukugi2]

"what he calls ou-kin-ah-shi "

There is no such thing as "ou-kin-ah-shi". His Japanese pronounciation is ridiculous, but I guess he wants to say "ukemi-gaeshi".

[NewZealfighter]

I guess I should have type ou-kin-ah-ga-shi but you say u -kemi -ga -shi

[Derukugi2]

On a second listen, I guess what he did want to say is "uke-nagashi". Not a standard Aikido term that I know of, but it would make sense. (flowing-receiving)

[matkasim]

superb technique against the hook punch> using the wedge elbow to deflect! then appying irimi nage

[kyushoaikiguy]

Thank you for your positive words. Iriminage is such an awesome technique!!!
