For people who are realy sceptic about Aikido, trust me if you do see Aikido or do Aikido in real life, you will understand what Aikido is realy is.

i love the Endo's aikido. Its great !! Thanks por the post.

[DGMauro]

Endo Shihan isn't sohwing techniques, he's illustrating a concept... so any "fighting" kind of comment is unapropied.

Los ukes, van al "ataque" como verdaderos papanatas ( imbéciles ), arrancan sometiéndose y eso es un acto de egolatría de los mas bajo!

In Ukemi, a Uke doesn't lend his/her body to Nage to be trashed or threw away (Nage is the person doing technique). Since Nage is in an advantage position, Uke's best option is to actively follow with Ukemi to avoid injuries. At advanced levels, there are techniques for counter-attack but beginners must learn good Ukemi first. Ukemi is as much important as doing nage techniques, it develops good body sensitivity as uke senses nage's intention and moves a little ahead of nage for a safe escape.

[tonyvu2011]

Initially when O'Sensei started to teach Aikido, all of his first students when they came to him were already highly trained martial artists in Judo, Jujitsu, Karate or so. Back then there were no standards in Ukemi, students already knew how to response to minimise their own injuries. Once Aikido started to spread and more beginners without prior martial art experience joined, ukemi standards such as rolling were taught to students to avoid injuries.

uke infami

[MegaPouni]

@u009746 I agree with you. If the sensei farts, the uke will jump twice, make a loop and land on his back.

That kind of uke don't lend their body, they give, trash, abandon their body. Bad, too bad. anti-martial behavior. Works only on trained collegues, as too often in aïkidô.

2:50 can be an amusing game, but please, aikido clowns.

@MegaPouni

its about connection, merely a demostration of keeping a connection

@MegaPouni if you are pushing on a door as hard as you can, and somebody opens that door...guess what buddy, your going for a ride~ keep commenting though, i find them amusing.

[Theomachos]

For those with doubts: Look at the atemi at 2:06 / 2:07. Uke loses connection and stiffens up. The atemi aims at the temple. All this "following" is more or less self-defense. ;-)
