  • nothing that a 9mm doesn't solve!

    I will go for that instead!

  • @daniloorbolato And by the time you wont have 9mm ??? What would you do ???

  • @daniloorbolato Yeah cause when your drunk uncle attacks you it's better to shoot him than to be able to control the situation like these people can do? LOL!

  • @leicamaster hey I am sorry, it was a joke. Besides the 160pounds guys there is not being thrown but his 2 fingers okay. he knows what to expect and is facilitating those moves but simply "throwing himself a little". Cool moves but not really possible. Before you throw me 4 feet in the air by my little finger you already mutilated it.

  • @daniloorbolato Have you done any martial arts or joint manipulation? It is possible when applied correctly by someone who has used these techniques. Just trust me on that.

  • @daniloorbolato part of aikido is the countermoves - knowing how to be thrown. If you do not, your tendond stretch and your joints fold (the opposite way nature intended). By all means resist. Medcine has advanced over time so within a few months you should be able to regain your gross and fine motor skills. And learn to type on Youtube with a pencil in your mouth.

  • is not fake, he makes it look so easy that looks fake, really, go to a dojo and take a class, man you fly and end up on the floor with no idea how the hell you got there.

  • at 0:30, Saito-sensei used what we at Yoshinkan Aikido call "Shomen-uchi Iriminage Ni" or "front strike entering throw #2." He does a pivot while controlling uke, grabbing the collar, then reversing the direction with his hips and throw. He did this very quickly without exaggerating the movements, so perhaps you'll think that the other person is jumping. But belive me: having been in this situation repeatedly, I can tell you that you cannot jump while being held in that posture. Great aikidoka!

  • look the videos of nishio sensei. he has combined aikido and martial aspects

  • Awesome ukemi btw.

  • Best uke I've seen in a long time...

  • Yes Aikido can look fake...but believe me it is so very real. But forget my comment visit a dojo and find out for yourself. Then you will get past the whole "look" thing.

  • why does it look so fake?

  • i'll buy gun tomorrow and shoot him 100 miters away from me! HAHA.

  • Chuck Noris As An Asian

  • @lLuxHD fuck that chuck norris

  • Comment removed

  • Bruce lee will rip his heart out.

  • his power came from his stomach......

  • would love to see a real aikido fight!

  • whats easy is being at home watching, try this for your self and see what s happen

  • A lot of people misunderstand Aikido, thinking that the attacker just goes along with things. But when somebody like Saito does a throw, the power you experience is truly amazing. Also, if you try to resist, something will get torn or broken. Once I moved a bit too slowly, and a senior Aikido student easily tore my upper arm from the shoulder socket - Note: This happened in spite of the fact that I was trying to 'help' him by just taking the fall.

  • @jtread66 the guy is only helping himself in the movement, by jumping hes going along with the way his arm\wrist was bend, if you try to resist, your bones will be broken.

  • @jtread66 I think that "good" (ideal...) aikido dont hurt and the fall is not deliberate. You are just "sucked" and lead (nagare). You don't feel anything, before the ground ^^ Aikido is not the threat of a broken bone if you arent nice; aikido is the "vacuum" of no opponent to hit, the blending with that I first saw as a target.

  • @LdB76 No offence but you really need to clean up on your grammar there...because it didn't make sense at all.

    Anyways I agree with Darkdrake13, as bones would be broken or dislocated if the demonstrator did not go with the movement.

  • @neneswsw Hard to communicate without beeing fluent ^^° Sorry...

  • is really easy when the other guy helps in the movement

  • @gbarassi If you've never experienced Saito Sensei's power, you'd likely make a comment as dumb as this.

  • @jtread66 you can clearly see that the other guy jumps

  • u r ................... what i say u super good

  • WITH MY GUN FULLY LOADED I AM 1billionTH DAN AIKIKAI!

  • @rololoy2

    with than dan you wouldnt need a gun

    cause you wouldnt use it

  • @rololoy2 pls teach me master

  • the move shown 0:28- 0:31 is an iriminage technique.Saito Sensei was a personal live in student of Ueshiba O sensei ,I think he knew what aiki principles are more than we do.Aikido was synthesized from combat styles and is applicable as such being incorporated into police and military programs

  • ..as if..reaching for someone's sword as they're trying to cut you in half & throwing them is called the mcdojo technique...you'll find these in pretty well all martial fart clubs around the world...there's a reason aikidoists (read as retirees looking for a different fitness regimen) don't spar..they'd be dead in 2/10ths of a second..so there. grin

  • plz dont think much of this its just a demo.

  • HAI! *clank* HAH! *clank* *FLIPS* REEEEEEEEEE!!

  • @stinyash its iwama style

  • Wish I had done aikido these guys are amazing!

  • My jaw dropped at 0:30

  • @srbournival He jumped to increase the effect its a demostration.

  • @KevinArcade I'm an Aikidoka I know it's a demonstraion. But it didn't look like much of a jump to me.

  • @srbournival that was crazy o.O

    

  • @srbournival "Yeah I'm just going to toss this full grown man with the most minimal effort" lol The skill of someone at 9th Dan is really in indestructible force

  • @jsmall10671 aikido is a way, thats what do means, and also you can add things after that, thats what my sensei told me, and he heard this from his sensei, that could be Iriminage, but he did an Atemi (what you call hit) at the to the throat, then threw him, one thing you are right, thats he didnt do ashisabaki (steps)

  • aikido is simply not practical as a true combat style, that is not it's purpose. The move he does at 0:28 to 0:31 is absolutely ludicrous and not even following aikido principles. He has the uke going in one direction and reverses him with a simple blow to the throat from a very weak stance and striking across his own body. There is no way he's going to throw a real attacker with that specific move.

  • @jsmall10671 uke chooses to be reversed, when he drops into a back fall, to simulate avoiding the attack. If an actual attacker receives a blow to the throat, it's pretty much game over for them.

  • @jsmall10671 Two things. The first is that you cannot suggest from one move done for demonstration that an entire art is unsuitable for self-defence (as opposed to combat. The distinction may be subtle, but it's important.)

    The second is that, as with many other arts, the exact moves one practices in the dojo are not what one would do if really attacked - but they instil /principles/ and /reactions/ that may serve one well.

  • @jsmall10671 What are you talking about? It's a perfect executed men-nage, if you brakes someones balance, it doesn't take much to tip him over. (no matter what style you practice)

  • dont get wrong

    cos aikido is for love human and to understand ,how body conect to soul.

    not used for fight like stupid are done .

    so ....if you wanna know more bester stady and try to understand about belive or about love of god to human

    if you just belive you self never knwo how to be good human be

    so .....all this life time you will never get real love and heaven on earth in your soul.......!!!

  • Grande maestro, vedere la precisione nei movimenti sembrerebbe così facile, beato il suo uke il quale ha assaporato il suo ki

  • 9th dan???? wow!!!

  • truly a marvelous performance is impressive

  • if you think this is soft, try shodokan aikido.

  • omg this is so beutiful^^

  • its truly lies in who can use there style better really 

  • Is he tough and routhless or rough and toothless?

  • Aikido came right out of the Chen style Tai Chi. But you try and get a Jap to admit that, and it's a dark day for truth and justice.

  • @macktheknife888 You are incorrect, Aikido is an art derived from Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu which was created by Minamoto no Yoshimitsu 900 years ago. It was spread to the Takeda clan and Aizu clan through the Seiwa Genji. When Sokaku-sensei began to teach the art openly, O-sensei was one of his students and he founded aikido

  • @macktheknife888 you're dillusional...it came out of the softer Aiki style Japanese Ju jutsu's 

  • Aikido only looks fake because people don't understand what aikido does. If you oppose forces and try to force technique then of course they'd have to pretend to fall, but in most demonstrations, the nage is using angling, rhythm and timing, and the attackers own energy to throw them. It's incredibly complicated, so much so that a laymen of soft style couldn't see this in technique. It's all about feel, it takes atleast a decade of training to even begin to understand.

  • this... was the best display i've seen today ^_^

  • 2 broken ribs coming up @ 2:23 to 2:38

  • first of all check out saitos sensei's total spacial awareness at 1:35 unbeleivable, a true master. non-aikidoka think 100% nage, which is why they can never understand the art. the power is extraordinary and comes from the hips, not the upper-body.. i have not been thrown by saito sensei, i am too young to have had the opportunity, but i have done ukemi for his last and closest uchideshi, and it is quite frightening at first. if you dont "flip" you break.

  • something more to learn

  • Well, I'm not a professional martial artists, not by a long shot, but... at 0:40, you can throw a man like that, really.

  • @Ranziel1 At 0:40 ths throw would not be so pretty in a struggle against someone untrained to fall correctly. In this case the attacker would look something like a sack of crap falling face first into the floor.

  • Having studied other martial arts, kenpo, jujitsu etc. And now I study Aikido I would have to say that the only way that Aikido impresses anyone is after they've been thrown to the ground with out expecting it. The beauty of aikido is with how little effort you can destroy an attacker.

  • @nhaluta mine too!

  • i think its nice, but im not impressed when the attacker get trown away og blocked u can easely see him following the blows with his own body.

  • @rytmen you must follow the blows or sometimes it'll cost you an arm or a leg:))

  • Comment removed

  • truly amazing teacher

  • It shouldn't be which form of Fighting/Self defence is best/most effective, it should be entirely based on the person and how they practice it and utilise it.I am only a green belt in Aikido, i have quit it now and study a number of other Martial arts which i add and utilise to my arsenal.

  • @TheSunlitSerenade well said, good for you. Remember that even though you quit it, don't ever forget it.  If you are ever grabbed in the streets, you know what to do.

  • @MikeUntstinks , I trained under Shihan Gwynne Jones, and the discipline involved in Shin Gi Tai aikido has remained with me, despite the fact i stopped training.

  • @elsuplementos almost as funny as wetbacks!

  • this is really perfect vid

  • lol just a demontration,

    or fake, the guy falls on purpose and overdramatic

  • Nice little show you got there going :D

  • i want effortlessly toss someone around like that

  • it is scary how much force you can get throwing someone like that.

    A physics prof who studies aikido said in karate you can get 700 neutons or so (lifting 70kg and dropping it).

    In aikido due to properly directing centrifugal force you can get 1800 neutons of force (lifting 180kg and dropping it).

    Thats how when someone says a kid could easilly throw an adult they are not bsing

  • @kadsjdsflk If that kid knew Aikido, you better give him back his Legos.

  • @kadsjdsflk and in Taekwondo you can achiev about 10000 neutons to get power of about 1000 kg

  • @lainss yeah but you can't lift someone of 1000 kilos, you can hit them with a force of 1000 kg which is just a hard hit, with aikido you can actually lift someone in the air that weighs 180kg

  • @kadsjdsflk you mean Newtons (after Issac Newton), not neutons(not a real word)

  • Well then don't start aikido, cause that's totally the wrong spirit.

  • For all those ill educated persons who think any of the Aiki styles are soft just think on this:

    Would you do a martial art the broke your fingers, wrists, elbows and shoulders every time you went to the Dojo? In the dojo any training is done with the utmost care as to not damage your Uki, doing so would not encourage him/her to come back. You must be able to train without injury but in the event of need, put into practice what you have learnt with devestating effect. Thats why it APPEARS SOFT

  • Besides all that: also remember that aikido is just a study, practise, so if you can do the things you practise softly, you can do things hard as well...

    Iriminage can be easily transformed into a strike to the throat.

    Tenchinage can be easily transformed into a technique involving a jab or clawing of the fingers in the eyes, driving the head to the ground.

    etc etc

    But it wouldn't make for very interesting training if everyone were to just cruch a windpipe or jab the eyes all the time. :)

  • that dojo is called San-su martial arts we do get broken bones we bleed we do get bumps and bruses... but we do win trophys and we can protect our lives... that is why we study the martial side of the martial arts ... art is pretty and fun to look at but its just that window dressing for what you should be doing ...

  • I doubt that ur sensei can lay his fingers on Saito sensei. This is a demontration. It may look soft and tender but it's not. I pratice taekwondo for 7 years and achieved 3rd dan black belt. I've practicing Aikido for 3 month until now and I think Aikido is a true martial art for me. Furthermore, I think a true martial art is supposed to make u stronger and I dont think a broken bone will strengthen your body.

  • @Wooolf2010 a broken bone mends stronger than it was before and you know not to do what you did to get the broken bone in the first place. and for my sensei he is master over several styles of jujitsu im sure he would have little problem taking saito down i have won a dozen or more heavy weight title belts and he has put me down with a finger ... but nice troll

  • @SanSuMartialArts No problem in taking down Saito..... lol.... You don't know who Saito was! And his son Hitohiro is equal, if not better, than Morihiro Saito. Their technique are pure, perfect, a demolishing. I don't think your Jujitsu Master would be glad in facing with them in the past (Morihiro RIP) or Hitohiro. They were/are, two dogs from the best......

  • @SanSuMartialArts By the way: ASK your Jujitsu Sensei or Shihan to write here and leave us an opinion on Aikido or about both Morihiro or Hitohiro Saito. It would be interesting to read the opinion by a warrior in regard to other warriors..... Specially by a Jujitsu Master. It could be interesting. For sure, He would not disregard Saito and his capabilities, it could be a bad way to try to "win" a battle: disregard the opponent..... That's NOT the way a real warrior or Sensei would teaches you!

  • @SanSuMartialArts

    To me, "winning trophys" and "defend yourself" in real life are different things. And also "defend yourself" and "defeat your opponent" are different things for me.

    Being battered to the ground bleeding and standing up to run into the fight again is no "self defence" for me and doesn't count as "protection of life" for me in any way.

    I guess its just hard to explain the spirit of Aikido to a competetive martial artist.

    But to those who like to bleed - keep on bleeding :-)

  • spare the rod spoil the child ... that what my mom used to say

  • @SanSuMartialArts Yes, that is a very true maxim. Sometimes I see all that is wrong in our country is down to that very saying.

  • @SanSuMartialArts

    The only problem is that the quote is misplaced.

    A "rod" is not a club nor a stick. The saying was WONGLY used to justify cruelty. A "rod" in the old sense of the word was a staff used to guied sheep. So, what is really being said is to not spare GUIDENCE,

  • @aqx770

    lol

  • @TwigletWoof people kickbox in a fairly violent manner all the time without breaking bones, your argument is weak.

  • @jsmall10671 No, I don't think so. By broken bones I actually meant broken Joints as opposed to the actual bone itself. Think about it, Aiki Jutsu and Aikido use wrist locks and restraint techniques that, if applied in the heat of the moment, will break joints. It is your narrow argument that is weak

  • @jsmall10671 The intended message, as I read it, is that Aikido is capable of causing extreme damage. If one examines several of the exercises, one can see places that the practitioner can do all sorts of nasty things to the uke. However, we train to be gentle with our partners so that we can learn in safety. Each teacher I have practised with, including my own, has been known to point out /where/ and /how/ damage can be caused, but we don't do this for practice.

  • @jsmall10671 In kickboxing there are rules. In a self defense system there are no rules, just principles.

  • An aikido master is not one person you wanna mess around... Fortunately for those who underestimate them their spiritual calmness and balance keeps them away of listening stupidity and ignorance....

    All those think Aikido is non effective and "soft" should try to grab or attack someone so expert as Master Saito...i'm sure it would change their mindset into a new reality, the reality of no resistence and harmony.

    Greetings from Chile

  • @aldebaran527

    that is what all aikido students will tell you but from studing the style for so long i know that if you give no momentum the throws are useless that is why you will never see an aikido master in an open grappling tourney, ufc or any other high level event the style is predictable and is not practicle if this style was so deadly you would see it used in things other than there own demos and dojos

  • @SanSuMartialArts

    ... Aikido isn't used in a competitive setting like UFC because when you're trying to "beat someone up" ... it's no longer Aikido. People DO use plenty of Aiki principles in UFC matches... but by using it offensively, it's no longer "Aikido."

    Keep in mind that Aikido and Jujitsu have similar roots... just different philosophies. Don't even TRY to suggest that people don't use BJJ in UFC!

  • @dasgregorian

    dont even try to suggest that people dont use bjj in ufc? i thought we were speaking of aikido ... japanese jujitsu is widly used in the ufc and bjj is a seperate bunch of nonsence in its self taken from judo.. but i was stating that aikido as an art is not that powerful but it is a good way to pass time ... beats bowling

  • @SanSuMartialArts

    Indeed... And BJJ is just a rough, aggressive, ground version of the same principles that make Aikido work. Keep in mind, every art has a situation where it will be useful or not useful. Is boxing completely useless because once someone is inside your punching range, it won't do you any good? Is BJJ completely useless because the groundwork doesn't help as long as you're standing up?

    Sometimes Aikido doesn't have the best answers. Sometimes it does.

  • @dasgregorian It depends on what we call "the best answers", but in any case, it gives an answer. If correctly applied, you should be really good for challenging and beating a good Aikidoka. Quite a tough challenge...

    v=YsExNlFLGTs&feature=related

    The hair on my arms stand up when I imagine a fool "street fighter" attacking Tissier, Saito, Ueshiba, Nishio, etc., and get his ass kicked in a 2, 3, 4 or 5 seconds battle.

  • @SanSuMartialArts YOU WON'T SEE an Aikido Master in competence just because it is FORBIDDEN!!! No fight for superoirity in Aikido, man! You have to understand the basis and core of this Art first, then comment with a bit more knowledge about it......

  • martial ART

  • If you wanna play that way...

    MARTIAL art ;p

  • let me play too...

    mARTial ART

    MartIAL art

    ;) ;)

  • Indeed... I can say for a fact, although these techniques appear "soft" and can feel quite soft... they are definitely effective in the right circumstances.

    Do some research into russian Systema... it takes a lot of Aiki principles, and may appear more "functional."

  • Hell, one can even find aikido-principles at work in Reality Based Self Defense... Irimi & atemi, no hesitation, boldly entering, either drawing out an attack or attacking yourself, etc etc.

    Then again.. There's only so much you can do, so every possible martial art has those self-defense aspects incorporated within, I guess.. From Krav Maga to Tai Chi. I get the idea that the differences do not lie within the "What", but within the "How" (as in: "How do we practice those principles?")

  • There's also that video of the MMA fighter who essentially did a sloppy Kote gaeshi... other person resisted and his arm snapped instead of him rolling. Similarly, a shihonage, if done "improperly" will rip an arm clean out of it's socket without much force at all.

  • @dasgregorian Is that so....... Agree 100%. The problem is that not well educated "martial artists or practicioners" thinks a Kotegaeshi, a Shihonage, a "Waza" standing, are just intuitive or casual moves.... They DO NOT. They are designed to dominate you, no matter what. And the harder you try to resist, the more the pain and danger of being sliced you'll get by the Aikidoka..... Very easy. Is too clear to see in every Aikido video....

  • Speaking of the two: I've been thinking lately. Isn't a Kotegaeshi identical to a Shihonage... just smaller? I'm trying to keep the techniques fresh in my mind, and they seem to be the same throw... one's just bigger.

  • @dasgregorian Technically is not the same, but almost identical is the result!!! THE OPPONENT LYING ON THE FLOOR, and you gaining control of the situation.....

    Kote Gaeshi:v=5Hq3WTnifXw

    Shiho Nage (Katate dori-omote ura):v=LfuwPVOfGZ8

    In "real world", It works, believe me!!!

  • @dasgregorian

    Shomen Uchi Nikyo - omote or ura, is a bit similar to Kote Gaeshi, in terms of how it ends (I mean the kind of domination on your counterpart): v=FHLxdqMA3Hc&NR=1

  • @lucianoestivill

    Nikyo? I was comparing Kote Gaeshi with Shihonage. Where did Nikyo come from? If anything, Nikyo would be the opposite of Kote Gaeshi, wouldn't it? Both manipulate the same joints... just in opposite directions.

  • @dasgregorian I didn't understand your point, it seems...... I know you was comparing Kote Gaeshi with Shihonage, but I tried to contribute with a video where you can see Shomen Uchi Nikyo - omote or ura, just to point out something that should be obvious but some people here seems not to understand: the physics of circular movement and the kind of domination on your counterpart, defeating him by mean of control the Uke's body, but still having the chance of not making him any harm....

  • @lucianoestivill

    Without a doubt! There are many Aiki techniques where, when properly executed will utterly dominate the attacker without them even realize what's happening until for some reason they ended up on the ground.  Any Nikyo will be particularly offensive because of how little effort it takes to drop the biggest people to their knees.

  • @cryodragoon VERY GOOD aproach on Martial Art buddy, excellent, BRAVO!. ALL Martial Arts are in fact, for the good of the men and humanity, and posses the "defence side" of it. If you're GOOD in Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Kung-Fu, Aikido, etc., etc., etc., you WILL be safe..... NO PROBLEM!!! It's all about WHEN and HOW (and IF!!!!!) to apply WHAT you was tought by your Masters...... ;-) GOOD QUOTE, CONGRATZ CRYDRAGOON!!!

  • I play drums and time ago used to practice aikido and ninjutsu. I mention the drums because this is not the only "area" in which the only subject to talk about seems to be what or who is better if not the best. "Karate is better tha aikido". "He is faster than that one", etc. I wonder why we keep thinking in terms of competition. It doesn´t seem to be a "healthy" way of looking at what / who surrounds us. Sometimes it makes me feel literaly sick...

  • @teteindigo TOTALLY RIGHT!!! IS THAT SO!!! Fortunately, you're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, buddy........

  • @teteindigo I agree it is unhealthy to look at these things as competition... 'art' whether fine art or martial, is an INDIVIDUAL thing: each artist must find or create their own style and niche, otherwise they are not truly an artist, but a copycat poseur.

  • @teteindigo i agree with u but what i find strange about u is that u practiced aikido and ninjutsu..i think they are quite different..ninjutsu is to kill aikido is to exhaust ur opponent with minimum dmg to him.Ninjutsu is brutal aikido is pretty non-brutal..it can be though if ur bit inexprienced.Anyway i guess u just wanted to see the difference between 2 arts that are alot different from each other :)

  • @Melitzaneitor Aikido, was a product of the Samurai .

  • @teteindigo competition is good if its done in spirit of developement.. it is not good if its done in the ideology to destroy.

    just like anything else there is always someone who will win even by chance ..

    aikido is not just aikido .. bujinkan is not jus tbujinkan all these arts come from each other.. so its really useless to say one is better then the other.. they are all family of each other more or less.

  • @i play guitar so im a better musician ;)

  • @teteindigo Sounds like you've been brainwashed by liberals,listening to Obama or live in California.Martial arts are competition,historically to the death on a battlefield or defending yourself from criminals.

    However you're point regarding the question of "what style is best" is sound.Individuals make the style effective or not.The best fighters know several styles.Some styles are more effective than others but none is best.The longer you study methods the more they look the same.

  • @teteindigo as long as there is no1 else around us, to compare to, we will have to fight/compete each other!

  • @teteindigo It isn't the martial arts that matters, it is the person who is using it. I am courently training Wing Chun and I am overwhelmed. So it is about the person, not if kung fu, karate, aikido, aikikai etc, and not that same old cliche, your kung fu is too weak XD

  • @teteindigo you are absolutely right.I pactised Kyokusinkai karate, before that i worked on kick boxing.Now i think, maby, to start practising judo.Anyway all of those martial arts are great and all in its own way great. The only reason why someone prefers karate and other aikido or judo are personal preferences thats all.All martial arts are good.

  • @teteindigo because all in life would be pointless without something to compare, withouth a reference, without a contradiction-what would good be without any evil? would you be able to tell what is good without even knowing what is bad/evil? if all where winners, what would be the purpose of it? you see, even if it appears problematic, it is also a great necessity

  • i like how they groan at them :)

  • @AmericanSoapBox in a full contact street fight it might not work but if the average person tries to attack you first it does work and thats all its designed for, self defence nothing more, and trust me if you get a wristlock on someone it fucking hurts like hell, i used to do Aikido, not anymore because i broke a bone in my foot and the club started teaching children putting children with adults... is just stupid. But my teacher but a wrist lock on and it hurt like fuck.

  • one thing nobody explains to people like you about aikido is that: aikido was invented for a first self defence in samurai history, but when they killed they used swords...aikido is simply the support of the sword or knife, and that would help alot! consider also that houndreds years ago they were "quite" stronger than nowdays

  • @Sarva07 dont bother explaining it to the idiots i want aikido to remain secret to them

  • if you want it it's not my problem! if we can reasonly reply and try to change a narrow minded person we have to try!...if not we would be quite near to their status of idiots, nd i don't think this to be what aikido teach!

  • iit was invented in the first half of the twentieth century, dude.

  • the aikido associatoin was founded by ueshiba sensei in 1900's but the summ of tecniques derives from a long martial tradition ...just like Funakoshi did with karate...he founded the association and reunited tecniques already existing!!!!....isn't it obvious?

  • ok so go and kick Morihiro Saito's ass.

    Please take a clip

  • sorry, have i said smthing wrong?..i'm not english, maybe i ddn't understand, but what your reply stays for?

  • You should consider talking to a shihan.

    Because you obviously don't understand martial arts.

  • Морихиро Сайто Сенсей - по моему мнению лучше всех в мире после Морихея Уесибы владеет Катаной !

  • Truly elegant and somewhat believable, if not for the gimp that gets knuckle dusted all the time.

  • bello

  • Gosh, it's good to see Aikidokas and many others in other MAs that truly understand MAs and Aikido. Usually Aikido vids are packed full of MMA wannabe westerners that need for things to go BOOM as loud as possible b4 they recognize it. lol

    Anyways -- WOW, 9th Dan. I can dream, wow.

  • You know what the most interesting part is?

    Normally Japanese senseis never "pity" their disciples.

    But if you look carefully he is throwing them in a way that they can easily break the fall.

  • There i a subtle difference between Judo and Aikido. In judo you throw an opponent with your own power. In Aikido, you use your opponent's power and redirect it to throw him.

    Yes there is some cooperation between the Uke and the Nage but that if for the safety of the Uke. Thats why there can never be a competition form of Aikido because the Uke's defensive techniques are also Aikido.

  • From what i have read, the origin of Judo also lies in using the opponents strength. A 70 year old Judo Master had a few matches against the leading 20 - 25 year old Judoka from all over the world and beat them by obviously using their strength, being to old to use his own.

    I find this movie utterly beautiful might i add, the Jo & Bokken techniques are just amazing.

  • @XSlayerALE

    Having trained judo for 5 years and aikido 6 years, i can say that the differences between judo and aikido are monumental.

  • @XSlayerALE A big misleading concept mate: in Judo, you also has to use the opponent energy to defeat him.... the same concept is valid in Aikido. Aikido seems "easy", isn't it? I can tell you that a real response by an Aikidoka, is stroking is hard, like a big shunt with a F1 car against a wall....... Believe me....... I talk because of my own experience.... Deke101 explained pretty well.......

  • those last two techniques were judo(-ish)
