no-touching aikido by Watanabe - 第44回全日本合気道演武大会

[moejoe19]

Great Video!

I met Watanabe Sensei last year in munich and I had the possibility to attack him with a Suwariwaza Shomenuchi. He threw me over the mat without even touching me- i think he didn't even move. I never heard about his amazing technique before, so I was very surprised.

I hope he will come to munich again next year.

Sehr schönes Video sonwohan

*boah... schätz dich glücklich, dass du das durftest erfahren!

[moejoe19]

Informationen gibt's unter www.kenbukai.de, einen Auszug aus einem Interview mit Watanabe Sensei unter http://www.aiki-zen.de. Da erklärt er auch das mit dem Werfen.

THATS NOT REAL AIKIDO IN VIDEO.I dont know what the hell that watanabe sensei thinks, but thats no real aikido.

[sonwohan]

yeah ^^ a real aikidoka is speaking!!! watch this your famous founder of aikido, never did aikido! here the proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=bCjySZuVDkQ

[duduutube]

HAHAHA this bald sensei would die in a real fight.....

[sonwohan]

incorrect. noone would force him for a real fight.

[pup101]

how can you not touch a person and still make them fall over???? an act maybe?

[thkun33]

i really dont understand what Watanabe shihan did. can anyone interpret his principle? i thought he would not do anything meaningless cos he is a 8th dan shihan.

[MisogiWaAikidoDesu]

this vid shows one of the principles of aikido: offer your enemy something to attack, let him fix it. then,when he attacks it, you got an advantage: you know which part of your body will be attacked. what sensei watanabe does is just showing a principle of aikido- not aikido to defend yourself.

[sonwohan]

danke schoen, dude!

[fafer99]

To all of you who're dissing this video -just read the description -this is not just posing, and noone ever said this works as self defence.

I think it's great to see, how their movements blend -a great part of aikido is to see and feel what your partner is going to do and react. So you'll flip before the lock actually hurts you. In this case they just blended with the movements of their sensei, without even touching -nice video -don't lsiten to people who can't read ;)

[sonwohan]

thanks alot, man! endlich mal jemand, der's versteht!

[shihonage]

Aikido works for self-defense... the cultist, embarassing dance shown in this video, doesn't. Big difference.

[sonwohan]

it's aikido and not a dance. are you too stupid to watch? are too stupid to read correctly the vid-description?

[yan84]

c'est nimporte quoi cette video,il y a un prof comme celui la pres de chez moi qui pratique le "non toucher" aussi et c'est un veritable charlatant!!!

[sonwohan]

das bezweifele ich sehr stark mein froind. wie du dein sosetsukon schwingst... DAS ist scharlatanisch! solange du ohne ziel rumschwingst und nicht schlägst, bleibst du für immer ein poser! du wirst es nie begreifen.　お前は舞台に立っておらぬ！

[Aikidolphin]

I like the aiki of this demo (repeat: DEMO). The quality of the technique comes from the quality of the attack and because this is demo/practice, uke was giving the sensei an attack where these 'no hand' blending techs work. IMHO. H is for humble.

[dougmac76]

Aw well, I guess we will never see eye to eye :). At least we both like Aikido. I also like beer and loose women, do you? Silly question, dont we all love them :p take care

[acquiesce100]

This video is absolute garbage. Its a load of crap and should be banned.

This kind of demonstration gives aikido a bad name and yes before you ask, I do study Aikido

[sonwohan]

Y, R U folks unable to read the vid-description? *block!*

[baegeen]

well i say this is BS and i also watched sonwohan's vid and i say its even more BS... what were u trying to prove sonwhohan???

[sonwohan]

well i say you are BS and have BSE. i do really know, that a video on youtube or somewhere else in this very wide WWW cannot prove something. a vid just demonstrate something. even the master in this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=kmGGvBZGAhY authenticate his chi/ki-mights, but the part with fire... im not able to believe. and, baegeen, what the reason you barge in? do you mind to just shut up? *ow... screw you...*

[Neko687]

so if another person have a different point of view as you, and do not believe this pile of crap, they suck and don't know what they're talking about so they might as well shut up and screw themselves?... how very Aiki of you

[sonwohan]

it's not my intention, to "aiki" with ppl of all over the world. it's enough for me, to "aiki" with ppl, i can "aiki" with.

[dougmac76]

I have seen this before. To myself, this is a joke. This is the typical "Lemme fall for the teacher" effect. Its all for show. I have seen some no-touch Aikido but mostly its by luck. The attacker pretty much commits themselves to an attack and luckily the aikidoist moves and the attacker has no one to rebalance themselves and falls.

[sonwohan]

actually it's not luck. it seems, you'll never understand aikido. watch "http://www.youtube.com/watch?­v=Y-XFMXnaNDo". perhaps you will understand...

[dougmac76]

Ahhh yes master. I will never understand Aikido :) I will flick my wrist and the person runnning towards me will just backflip :). But I will never understand Aikido. I guess the last 14 years of my life spent learning Aikido were meaningless. Well, thanks for enlightment.

[sonwohan]

you've been learing aikido for 14 years?!! and then you think this is luck!?!? *lol* i think truely your 14years-aikido-practice were meaningless...

[dougmac76]

Have you watched the video? Do you see he flicked his wrist and the guy backflipped? When he shakes his arm the guy barrel rolls? Come on now... I have seen bad and good Aikido. This is bad Aikido. Nothing this Sensei did was luck, this was a complete joke. In my last statement I said " I have seen No-touch Aikido, but most the time it happened by luck" meaning the nages movement without touching threw the uke off. I have also seen atemis that have not connected but off balanced the uke.

[dougmac76]

PS- I have seen this sensei at Hombu Dojo. He teaches Saturday classes. Watanabe Sensei is a good sensei 8th dan, but I have heard stories about him.

[sonwohan]

excuse me, i read "I have seen No-touch Aikido, but most the time it happened by luck" inattentively and missunderstood. sorry for my notsogood english

[sthetx]

Thanks for posting this. I've heard about this before.

I can't help but think of how in movies, someone is playing the piano - and takes a drink of water (no hands on piano), and the music keeps playing.

[sonwohan]

hm... it's hard to explain easily...the attacker does not know how the defender will defend, but the body of the attacker knows, coz the attacker and defender aööways train together. so the defender is able to defend without touching. you cannot use this techniques in real situations on the street.
