Aikido Demonstration - Suwari-waza and Hamni-handachi

[solpapisolmook]

Yes, the moves look brutal, but the "attacks" don't look anything like real attacks, so this is all just posturing.

Sensei Joe Thambu it ain't

I would like to point out at tori's feet towards the end... flat... that's not correct.

I miss Aikido :)

[aspenedgewalker]

I do some sloppy forms of this to subdue my sons when they get alittle out of hand. I miss not going back into Ki-Aikido. I love the lack of negativity/aggression.

Ouch! It's great to see real Aikidoists working hard.

[srv1491]

what's the name of the technique at 0:54?

[scottswank]

@srv1491 that's kata gatame

[aiki3d]

Great Uke!

[indrazor1]

Muy tosco. Tiene el centro muy alto.

[ravenaikido]

great form!

[OneAngryAsian]

Looks very effective and very brutal, almost like the small, sharp movements of jujutsu. Good to see "less pansy" aikido out there, though I can imagine this could be pretty rough on the ukes if they aren't fit enough.

[lordosaya]

that looks brutal dude.

[lidkaw]

It's the other way around, Suwari waza is when both tori and uke are kneeling and Hanmi-handachi is when the 'uke' (attacker) is standing and tori is kneeling
