Kick Defenses: Intermediate Aikido Techniques : Defending a Kick: Intermediate Aikido Techniques

[ScottishFoxx]

Probably the most combat-accurate demonstration is at 1:35 where the instructor keeps his left hand up to deflect the very predictable straight-right. After the kick deflection the attacker is not in a position to effectively use a left-cross or hook and this allows the defender to close into clinch range and work a take-down or control. Any time you can get outside the front-arc of the attacker is good - Whether it's offline and straight right or a rear-naked choke.

[CatcherInTheFry]

it would be smarter to deflect with the other arm and lead into a groin strike.

[NYWAORCANZ]

I would use the word "tracing" then with the slightest of sightest contact for the redirection

Yes,I would say this is a type of "tracing" movement

[SuperPurgatorio]

thiS is FAKE AIKIDO

[lamy2991]

Question:What if the oppenant kick with his/her other leg?

[nowumustdie]

@lamy2991 do the same thing but with the other hand....

[hipero303]

after this defence he would become in his face with the arm.

[moos14]

and if he fakes the kick,and jumps in with an elbow or uperman punch?..

:D

wouldnt recommend droppin your guard like that..just because the line of attack from his kick is changed,doesnt mean that oyur opponnent can´t strike with fists,elbows anymore

i personally wouldn´t recommend it,but that doesn´t mean it can´t work,for sure

i am sorry for my bad english,i´m not a native speaker

[drack1900]

at 1:14 it's "bone" not "blow"

[Bigant55]

In martial arts, blocking is the act of stopping or deflecting an opponent's attack for the purpose of preventing injurious contact with the body. A block usually consists of placing a limb across the line of the attack. YA READ A LITTLE BEFORE YOU TELL ME ITS NOT A BLOCK.

[heracles04]

ok for the idea of deflection, but personally i think he should do it with his elbow while keeping his guard up rather than use his forearm, otherwise he could be directly be K.O after his deflection by a straight punch in his face

[Jersm5]

this is a 15-20% success rate at best. this is more of a push kick defense thus why he lands on his right leg after the strike. This may block a push kick but it will not work against a foot jab. the foot jab is a strike that has knock out power on the chin and has a faster impact with the ball of your feet. when you do a foot jab you end up back in the stance you started in. also many kykushin kicks start with lifting the knee then transering the momentum to a kick to the head body or legs.

[Anthonychua1982]

@Jersm5 This is why u don't defend with this technique against a foot jab. Aikido generally advises to get off the line of attack and maybe this technique is one of the exceptions. From what I see, if he successfully deflects the front kick, he can actually move inside the punching distance to follow up with a more conventional aikido takedowns or throws.

[HeWasAllButDead]

@Anthonychua1982 Yes and no.. mostly no. As the attacker strikes with the ball of his foot.. the foot travels to the floor once parried providing him with the proper kinetic linking for his right hand (if he used his left leg to kick). So in turn this technique has made a potentially dangerous attack into a deadly one when he comes with his counter strike. There are better counters to this kick within the aikido school of martial arts.

how much do those hakamas cost?

[Lan5in6]

@MegaPongy the anus

[MegaPongy]

@Lan5in6 u'd like that u gay cunt

[andreimolist]

you wont learn any of this unless u train seriously not by watching on youtube cause i know!

[Lan5in6]

"A kick is like a punch only it´s with the legs" wow thanks for that bald. It´s no wonder hes a martial artist, he probably got bullied to buggery as a kid for saying such corny and stupid shit

[Lan5in6]

anyone who thinks this is effective is living in a fantasy world

[sustantivo1espritu]

@Lan5in6 and gay slaps are much more effective?lol....

[Lan5in6]

@sustantivo1espritu WHAT?

[jeffchen]

aikido is not easy!

[miskakunttu]

When u said. "blocking kick with arm" I have trained Han Moo Do for several years and we have block which i call spinning wheel. when kick comes we block it py using the outer bone of arm which is very practical. but the block has to be smooth othervise it will hurt.

[newtubetubetube]

@miskakunttu There is no such thing as "block". There is parry and failed parry.

[ScottishFoxx]

Wouldn't recommend blocking a strong kick with a strong block. Too high risk for breaking a forearm bone. The deflection displayed in this video is a better option for multiple reasons - Less injury to you and the miss is more likely to off-balance your opponent.

[SemiAquaticRhino]

@ScottishFoxx He specifically said near the end that it wasn't a block.

[HeWasAllButDead]

@ScottishFoxx to parry is always a better solution. Always. Thumbs up.

[colby7538]

Yes you can block it you block it by choping down with your forearms but put power and force so the kick dosnt get to you

[DarkKnightBob1o1]

no fear

[MrJudo15]

@ nathan! Ur a smart fellow!

[MrJudo15]

Yes nathan!! Ur a smart fellow

[MrJudo15]

@ phive lmao!! Another great video by senei Gary!!! Redirection is the most effective way to fight!! :)

[yin0625]

that's what i defense a front kick

thanks for the vedio

[PhiveIncognito]

his turn, my turn, no more turns

[aikicop1]

Decent. Wish it was longer.

[zDSpider]

I never thought of it that way. Even in kamae I was taught by my sensei that the lower hand is used to "block incoming blows from bellow". Guess what those blows were. ;)

[charlyallanos]

I love the idea of deflection without really moving off the line of attack (with ur feet). U also do it for the iriminage and it really makes more sense. Thank you sensei ur great!

[Elvendur]

band, you the forearm is a lot weaker a bone than your shin. it'd break, and also legs have much more muscle than arms, so expect legs to win that way also.

[CWNRband]

why cant you block with the bone of your arm? do you risk breaking it? just wondering cause i did that once and it hurt a little but i didnt bruise or anything.

[tedchirvasiu]

cool
