Aikido Demonstration

[pokefire888]

if you read the title properly it reads

"Aikido Demons.... tration"

which is what this is really about.

[Quy4life]

why isn't aikido used in UFC?

[TheTarzan01]

@Quy4life there is some martial arts, for ring and exhibition aikido is not really one of those,if any expert aikido grabyou,you will soon end on the mat and with your arm twisted so couldn,t be good for tv. also aikido use the energy of the attacker, so gloves  are not practical for aikido just to mention a couple or reasons.

[yanyan66818]

@Quy4life Why can't you just appreciate the art of it? Why do people always need to compare with UFC?! Different arts, different skills, different purposes...

[SevenExxes]

@Quy4life

Because everyone would end up in hospital and the sport would be banned.

[QuickstartBlazin]

This is based on submission, no?

[aylwinchin]

To all the detractors, instead of flaming Aikidoka behind your computer screens, why don't you go for a trial class at your local Aikido dojo? I have a black belt in TKD and used to kickbox as well. My passion is now Aikido.

[hapayon]

:39 WHAT???!!! impossible!! uggh if that was me i would be screaming and clcosing my eyes and failing at trying to cover my head O.o

[SaoMir1]

Did anyone else replay one section over and over and over again and still said WTF DID HE JUT DO????

[angler765]

@SaoMir1 no

[h0tsh0t37]

Aikido FTW

[jackalfajack]

@kylisticx I don't know the phylosophy of Aikido, but I try.

What you say is clear to me though ;)

A guy was saying that it is useless because it is not made to kill. that's just stupid

[arca1903]

What is the name of the song?

[angler765]

@arca1903 the song is called 'generic background music' and the artist is Brian Bland. WTF?

[arca1903]

@angler765  Thank you

[arikateno]

nishio aikido is really cool, i just learn aikikai but someday maybe ill learn nishios budo too.

[Apocolypsolo00]

are those guys putting up ANY resistance? o_0

[ketsan]

@Apocolypsolo00 Yes, they are uninjured therefore they have sucessfully resisted the attempt to injure them.

[Apocolypsolo00]

@ketsan haha not exactly what I meant, it just looks like they're falling very easily, I suppose it's for demonstrative purposes.

[TehTusken]

@Apocolypsolo00 Yes.. but the attacker can attack with using the opponents balance and force

[blacksashman]

Satainic New Age

[heratos34]

buena demostracion, pero en mi opinion el judo es mas tecnico, para defensa personal

[1325GAMER]

Aikido is a martial art created so that no strength is involved to disarm an opponent

[fuckeldackel]

Adapted music for a kiddy sport ^^

[Nerinaization]

lol @0:44 wtf :D

[mightyyogurt]

i like how on everyone of these aikido videos everyone is talking about it like theyre training for a competition or that if the technique doesnt hurt or kill someone its not going to work. just like all martial arts there is always an option to either subdue the oppenent or "take them out". aikido if applied for detructive purposes can and will mangle some limbs. ive had black belts in other systems feel sorry for whom ever is dumb enough to attack an aikidoist thinking they wont get injured

[jackalfajack]

I think that your thoughts are aright developed: I am an aikidoist (not a black belt, but I will sooner or later) and I can realize how aikido could be harmful if applied with wrong intenctions. This is why there is such a non-violence phylosophy, that can be partially shown in these videos.

[XxsoxemnasxX]

The best martial art would be kantanni karate-do made by Thomas Ward who's achieved a dan grade in many martial arts including aikido

[aikifab]

Try not to fly, and you'll soon see your arm broken.

Falling, jumping is just a way to relieve the pressure that is put on a joint.

In Aikido, you presume that your opponent is stronger than you : you don't resist, so you "actively" submit (meaning that if you feel a weakness in your opponent's attack, you use it)

[mircodellarocca1986]

never seen people flying so easily as they do in here...i suggest to open an aiplane company.When blind obedience to tradition and total lack of pragmatism meet in martial art,here you are the AIKIDO.I've been practicing cin'na,hunh gar,basic wingtsun and basic shaolin for 11 years and never seen such fantastic way to Knock-out a potential deadly agrressor.i really can't distinguish who's the idiot:the aggressor who moves as a puppet,or the defensor who uses super powers as a semi-GOD!

[mircodellarocca1986]

i'really really would see those GOD-MASTER fighing with MIKE TYSON or anyone other brutal strong fighter . martial art is a compound name : ART + MARTIAL(MARTE is latin war god).... AIKIDO = ART+TRADITION+JAPANESE FANATISM for elegance and squared movements,that's all ^_^

[farorin]

and i'd like you to stop making an idiot of yorself, but we dont all get what we want, now do we?

[mircodellarocca1986]

i have many friends which practice Haikido at hi level and i tried many training session personally ,so we often had occasions to have fun grabbing each other and try techinques...believe me : it's not a question of PEOPLE &personal skills , it's a question of the purpose of Haikido,that is NOT TO HURT so it can't be defined a "martial art" in strict meaning of the word , that's all ^_^

sorry again for implicit offense & my bad english

[jackalfajack]

I would really like to see Mike Tyson getting his wrists broken. Or yours. Nobody insults the arts you spend time on and give passion to, so bring respect.

[mircodellarocca1986]

respect doesn't exclude comparison,opinion,or criticism...is at the base of them!

tecnically speaking it's nearly impossible to grab a sudden box-jab in it's speed,i train to do that by 10 years,and belive me,it's when your opponent has the same ability that you can appreciate the effectiveness of a tecnique:aikido would lose against almost any type of stile,because it wasn't created as a mortal fighting style,but as an ibrid between grab stiles(jin na)and health disciplines.

[jackalfajack]

First of all nobody ever said (just you) that Aikido is not made to kill: with that martial art you are able to do that but you knowingly choose to avoid it.

Then, I am sure that you would lose your haughtiness with your wrists broken, and the rest of your body alive.

Killing is not the answer: you are a fanatic.

[bennu63]

@jackalfajack Actually, you are mistaken. Japan for example, they are specifically known to use Aikido, because it is used to restrain people without seriously injuring them. Sure it could be used for killing, but so can a frying pan. You should read into the martial arts as a whole, not just the combat.

[ketsan]

We don't grab jabs though. We deflect them as we go for the body. Jodan tsuki irimi nage and ikkyo teach this, weapons work teaches this. This is common knowledge amongst Aikidoka. When are you non-Aikidoka going to catch up with what we really do? Seriously, there are vids of Segal (of all people) showing how Aikidoka deal with boxers and it doesn't involve catching punches.

[mircodellarocca1986]

i agree with your obsarvation ,but i was just underling the BIG difference between a style developed for seldefence and spirit armony & a style developed for kill and proved by thousands years of fighting experience... useless to say that kung fu and its many styles represent the most complete way of hand fighting and spiritual balance.I practice hung har,tai chi, basic shaolin and basic wing tsun,and i have friends who practice aikido,so i can personally confirm what i said before .

[shakou1]

The style evolved to self defence and harmony but it never started that way. Osensei had his moments before he chose a "better" path after the war years but prior to that he had killed people in combat using aiki style. It is all based around early jiu-jitsu and sword work, so with that in mind please do not be under the illusion that aikido has not flowered from ancient roots.

[DeDeDurINC]

It is the fighter who is weak not the style

[mircodellarocca1986]

with the same fighter's strenght and exp , you'll see the weaker style ... just as in car races ^_^

[DeDeDurINC]

But if an aikido fighter who is much experienced goes up against a boxer who is having his first match,who is bound to win?

[mircodellarocca1986]

in this case the match simply is unblanced . Martial arts competitions are based on weight and belt-GRADE ^_^ so plz ,avoid such stupid question. In real life everithing is possible obviously, even that a lion get killed by a zebra back-kick ^_^ : but that does't mean the zebra is STRONGER than a lion . However presonally i wounldn't bet a single cent on a match between same exp fighters from aikido and exmpl. muai thai,because aikido is't made exclusively for fighting .

[DeDeDurINC]

then you have proven my point...

[farorin]

Well yeah, but then again you could be the idiot.

[mircodellarocca1986]

as you want...but if you are an haikido practicer,i really hope you never have to face a martial artist(of whatever different style)in real life and for serious reason,or you'll see for yourself the importance of what i'm talking about...and for that before: well ,i was just ironical & dind't want to offende anyone but just to stress an evident situation and express my opinion based on my personal martial experience.

[shakou1]

Again(you are bringing the worst out in me here) If it was a street battle, how much of your chosen art would actually be used? not much mate, thats a cert. It would end up a standard messy fight. you can't compare 1 style to another, when you grow up and hopefully mature then you might learn this little fact.....Just 1 point to make on this, it always seems to be the kung fu and MMa sector that slate aikido, what is it with you boys, do you not like our skirts or something? :)

[ketsan]

You're reacting to your own mind rather than Aikido. You're wailing on about "super powers" and you're the only person doing it so it must be from your mind. You talk about tradition but Aikidoka don't, there are no techniques in Aikido so there is no tradition, so again it's in your mind. You talk about a total lack of pragmatism again because you are not an Aikidoka and do not understand how to use Aikido, so again it's in your own mind. Please stop perfoming online brain dumps. You look daft.

[mircodellarocca1986]

so,no techniques,no tradition,than what?^_^

I've lots of friends who practice aikido that's why i know what i'm talking about.

If you want just to stay healty and fit,then do yoga,at least is a complete style of self healing and mental training,but if you are talking of MARTIAL ARTs,listen to me, forget aikido,you won't stand a chance against other martial artists;i speak basing on my personal experience;i hope you'll never had to fight in real life against peolpe from other disciplines.

[shakou1]

Man are you for real? Do you really think aikido has no martial application in it? If you study (and I mean study,not just turn up at a dojo and go thru the motions) then you would retract this idiotic statement and sit in shame. yes, it is not straight forward pugilism, It is a difficult art to master and thats why aikido dojos tend not to be full of knuckheads and punchers, you need to go and do some serious research mate, look for some applied aikido/aiki-jiujitsu

[legitmindz123]

@shakou1 sir i am new to this chat but i totally agree with you . i have learned that very few people even know of aiki-jiujitsu it is something strange to mma guys sad a learn artist will destroy the ufc with it. I train family only that style.

[shakou1]

@legitmindz123 yeah man, just look up Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu. That is where modern aikido has it's roots as an applied fighting style. I think it was the Edo period after the unification of Japan when all the jutsu's became ways (do), when they had time to look at the philosophy behind the application, when it became a path to enlightenment. Too many people look at the modern application and neglect the old roots which is wrong when trying to criticise... screw them,& anyone that looks like them

[jackalfajack]

yessa. You can't judge things you don't know and haven't experienced.

[shakou1]

Ketsan, I have seen your name somewhere before, do you use the aiki or iai/kendo forums at all?

[ketsan]

@shakou1 Aikiweb

[shakou1]

@ketsan yer, I though I had seen your name mate.......

[fuckyouta2000]
