  • I apologise. This is not crap. I respect the time Tissier has spent doing Aikido. It's just not my favourite and not my kind of style.

  • Comment removed

  • What do you think?

    I hear often people saying aikido is not effective against a boxer or mma fighter, cause of the directly progressive form of attacking. Especially cause of punches and kicks.

  • @Korn033

    I think demonstrations are one thing, and competitions another. Give it a rest already.

  • thank you very much @BloodyNO123 ! Aikido is very interesting martial art - i love it's idea!

  • Damn auto correct: it's irimi nage.

  • The technique at 1:06 is yokomen uchi ironie nage

  • Hello, can I ask someone experienced to name technique starting at 1:06? Thx!

  • what is the song name?

  • hd haa??

  • @acquiesce100 I have to tell you a secret....It was a movie.

  • @fabiobranno - Hahah you idiot.  It was a movie, you are right, so what? He was being filmed in his dojo doing his "Aikido". What do you think Tissier is doing in this clip? No difference. You are just a twonk. You are just a jealous twit. You absolute knob.

  • @fabiobranno - I have to tell you a secret.... This was a martial arts festival being filmed . You absolute fool.

  • @acquiesce100

    LOL... Hollywood is always "better" if you special effects is your thing.

  • Good video!! Greatings from Aikido Musubi Badalona (Spain)

  • Christian Tissier is a Showman & makes allot of money from demonstrating his exiting & rather Artistic style of Aikido. However he is certainly a very competent practitioner of this Art which is obvious from this demonstration. Aikido can be practised in many ways unlike other Martial styles!

  • fantastic display

  • that tuyet voi! 

  • real or not real this is a demonstration of a great technical knowledge

  • Perfect...

    

  • @AntonioFourniase Force doesn't mean there is no softness, just like softness doesn't mean there is no force. Not to quote Jianmin, but just like Taichi, Aikido begins in softness and develops into force. Tissier used the knowledge he recieved from is Sensei and is own understanding of movements to develop his own style, which is what a true martial artist should do instead of "copy pasting" others' moves.

    And i don't know about you, but i see the ki flow in his movements, but also control.

  • Hi Antonio, try to practice with christian and you will see it. ;-) And whats more: Being uke, you will feel and experience what you miss when just looking at videos.

    If there would be no "softness, relaxation, water, ki, in his Aikido" we/his students wouldn't be so fascinated of his aikido. I think that's just what attracts the student: That such a soft and gentle aikido can be so "effective" and clear. And: When practicing with him, I am sure you will find Yamaguchi sensei in his aikido.

  • The most amazing thing about this is that he could probably do this in his sleep, it may look complicated but he's done it for so long it's just second nature to him.

  • How could anyone dislike this?

  • Realy amazing, That is just great, And aikido is never gay, only people who are beaten by it would say that;)

  • french aikido = gay aikido

  • @AntonioFourniase Have you seen him in one of seminars? I attended one in Cologne about 3 months ago, and I have to tell you, that this seminar was solely based on 'Forgetting the shape' and 'feeling the right thing to do'. Watching him in one of his seminars is so inspiring and I'm looking forward to my next one in March. If you haven't attended one of his seminars yet I highly recommend doing so. It's not only his Aikido, it's his presence that makes this man an outstanding person.

  • anyone know the soundtrack? Enya maybe?

  • @fromanotherstar It most likely is yes, by the sound of it although I'm not sure.

  • @FearThisChannel thanks for the response

  • @fromanotherstar maybe you got it but it's by Yanni!

  • Remember that Tai-Sabaki is the main defence, and that arm-flailing comes afterwards.

  • the ukes are pretty good ! ; )

  • I loved 2:04 - 2:08!!

  • Comment removed

  • Tissier is great, but he doesn't surpass my hero: Gozo Shioda.

  • @AntonioFourniase I don't know much about him, and your comment is the first of its kind I've seen. Without any malicious intent as I respect both sides of an issue, I'd really like to know why you feel this way about Tissier. Thank you!

  • 这人动作太硬了,体会不到和谐

  • the most impressive DEMO I have ever seen in my life. Master Tissier is incredible strong and have magnificent Tecniques...

  • Very good video!!!

  • Great!

  • I think Aikido is ultimately about transfiguring a combat situation into an aesthetic solitude of the attacker. The person who shows aggression towards his opponent is not rejected, annihilated or ruthlessly controlled by the other. The attacker is artistically bathed in his own assaulting scenario. Your job as an aikidōka is, perhaps, to sublimate the tempestuous vigor of your adversary, to bring him in the situation of traversing his own offensive action(s).

  • magnifique Kamae..posture..PERFECT

  • wonderful example of aikido !

  • I hate to say it but you r easily fooled

  • Amazing and so graceful.....!!

  • 2:17

  • wats the song plz ??

  • @crossidrix  On Sacred Ground by Yanni

  • one of tissiers best demostrations from my point of view.. greatly executed aikido

  • La 'fiesta de los noventas lo van a pagar mis hijos y mis nietos...

  • real aikido? what is real aikido?

    I just can`t hear that anymore. It`s not real aikido blah blah....

    Whom aikido is real aikdo in your opinion?. Every organasitaion thinks their aikido is the real thing.

  • That

    and there can't be anything far too different or it's not aikido anymore.

  • @aikikenpo when i was under my aikido sensei he would always say that his aikido will not be my aikido. Everyone including the greats all do it the same but different, If anyone has really stopped and looked at other arts and combined them with there aikido there is no art that does not actually blend with it very well... Shiro Tora Sensei

  • @aikikenpo Thank you for saying that, I have been wondering the same thing. I think what people mean when they talk about "real aikdo" is the difference between Aikido as a spiritual practice, as a mental practice, and as a physical practice. What they don't understand is that Aikido is about uniting your body, mind, and spirit. There is no "real Aikido", it is either Aikido or it is something else... its like saying "Tomatoes aren't a real fruit because I have a different definition of fruit"

  • bobzilla211- it is only demonstration, aikido works, but you must practice it long time. My sensei teach us many attack from karate, judo, kickbox and we know how defend against them and use them to.

  • am i right in thinking that most other martial arts could beat the crap out of an aikido practitioner? this seems mainly to be a competition thing that applies against other people using aikido.

  • ps: i've traind kickboxing bevore, but i don't like that shit anymore, because it makes you agressive...

    aikido is efective! - if you have experience on the street...

  • i practice aikido on the street and it works.

    Steven Segal knows it.

  • stop doing it. attacking is dishonorable

  • Comment removed

  • @ gwildow31:

    Believe me, it's everything but choreographed.

    It's an insult for a guy like Tissier, who's been practising aikido for decades, you know?

    I've been practising it for a year and a half, and it's pure technique.

    Just for the record, that's not a routine. The ukes decide their attack upon reaching nage. And nage acts in response to whatever kind of attack it is.

    The only thing that's choreographed there is the fact that the ukes respect their times to attack.

  • 2:17 jesus christ ) so fast. did uke just grab his arm?..

  • AnonymousCowardX, thanx for the ballet invitation, but I'd rather practice Aikido ;)

  • Ok, me too !

    ;-)

  • sorry i know your all very impressed,but it all had a very choreographed feel to it those guys meet everyday and practice that routine like a dance sequece.aikido so based on the assumption that your attacker will always lunge their center at you. think he do so hot against Roy Jones Jr? But great mastery of the routine. :)

  • @gwildow31 You're right about the choreography. Aikido however is not like this. Not all aikido is like this.

  • I like 3:36 where Tissier disarms the uke so easily yet so smoothly; looks cool.

  • ladnie tancza, aikido to cos niesamowitego

  • saludos para sensey tissier desde playa del carmen Q.Roo MEX. dojo fraternidad marcial. algun dia tendre el onor de conocerlo en persona

  • I'd kick his ass...

  • you don´t even know what are you talking about .. he will burst your ass

  • you dont have a sense of humor do you?

     I burst my ass everytime i eat chilli, not by getting ass kicked.

  • es facil decirlo

  • Breathtaking. Sensei Tissier - arigato domo.

    Respect from Krakow, Poland.

  • Magnifique.

  • Love his style. This is Aikido a t its best!

  • Jesus..This guys good! One of the best Aikido technicians i think i've seen.

  • aikido puro sin palabras

  • magnifique rien à dire

  • 2:19

  • WAO félicitation

    C'est trop fort :D

  • BRAVO CHRISTIAN TISSIER!!!!

  • whats the technique at 2:18 called?

  • It's sort of a Kokyu Nage... not very helpful, I'm afraid...

  • kokyu nage: Tissier sensei uses a blocking/sweeping motion with his right arm to protect from the oi tsuki attack, but then continues the motion in a very large circle eventually cutting down towards uke's heels. Tissier sensei makes this particularly difficult waza look deceptively easy!

  • tsuki kokyunage

    Tsuki - punch to the stomach (attacker)

    kokyunage - "breath through" (response of the responder)

  • The Ukes are also incredibles!

  • lo hace con tanta gracilidad que parece que apenas los acaricie o.o...jo tu...años de dedicacion ha tenido que meterle ese hombre

  • aikido o ju-jitsu??

  • Looks cool, but I'm such a skeptic! It looks rehearsed.

  • try it. it is difficult and painful to have done to you but amazing

  • It's a demonstration, of course it is rehersed. We do this in our club as well when we show what we do, to recruit people for our beginners group. It's easier to plan the showing off stuff then ;)

  • Un grand monsieur que maître Tissier. Il existe trop de charlatant dans le monde des arts martiaux et pour le néophyte il est difficile de séparer le bon grain de l'ivraie. Là pas de doute on tutoie la perfection.

  • Mais je plussoie gravement ce post, suffit de regarder les mouvements à 1:10 environ, c'est impressionant!

  • aikidorks always believing aikido roolz lool

  • and dilettants like you will always criticize what is not about raw muscle, without knowing even a little part of it.

  • Très bon travail d'aikido à mon sens!

    Fluidité, puissance!

  • This is ballet dancing, come on

    I find it tragical that lots of martial arts students really wake up when they just went down in real fight situations vey fast.

  • I find it tragic that you bash aikido and martial arts when you haven't tried to fight a shodan + in aikido or a kyokushin-kai shodan

  • How do you possibly know ?

  • aikido is, when used and timed correctly, one of the deadliest martial arts. It's made to look like a dance because it flows with the movement of your opponent. in training we learn the techniques to break arms. one more 15 degree turn and arms break.

    Kyokushin-kai is just one of, if not the strongest martial art and the way they train is pretty intense and focuses on full on combat, street fight kind of situations.

    Try and spar with them before you bash any martial art.

  • i agree on that...

    i now study the traditional Aikido from Morihei Ueshiba with a 4th Dan sensei for 6 years now and it's a real eye opener

    Aikido may not be the most impressive martial art like some find more atractive, but it is sertainly effective ;)

  • @xxBlazionxx timing is not what is important in aikido its about actually taking it easy and being calm to precieve the attack correctly THEN the attacker has to attack seroiusly without a seroius attack aikido is almost useless.

    aikidio is not about breaking or harming someone .. thatis not what we can measure effectiveness by... effective is an art that does its job without hurting anyone

  • @TheRogueMonk I love your way of thinking, just because of the last sentence - correction, because of the whole comment :) Aikido till the end of our lives :D

  • @LordCorwin45 thank you its excellent to hear that someone has appriciated me

    which commen was it.

  • compare aikido with Kyokushin was the most bizarre think i have ever heard. Kiokushin is just for strong people, nothing to do with tecniques. Its Karate for fool people. The only Karate which exists in Japan is JKA Karate. Oyama was a lier, not a fighter. He fought Bulls, but no one know just one oponent Oyama Fought.

    Tissier is an exemplo of purist Martial Artist; Awesome

  • @xxBlazionxx just by saying that means you dont understand aikido... the soul of aikido is love or unifying (ai) ki (energy) and do (the way)... so the way of unifying energy/loe... aikido is used to destroy any aggressivity not to hurt the person... if you cant understand this notion you can't effectively practice aikido.

  • @xxBlazionxx I totally agree. All these people that don't know sh*t about all Budo think it's fake. Well it's NOT AT ALL!!

  • @xxBlazionxx I've tried and sparred. I learned that it is vital for both parts of the fight to use correct timing to make aikido working. Apparently I was not perfect enough with my boxing and BJJ timing for this challenge and I won each attempt. Nonetheless after that my aikido opponents talked longer than all the session took.

  • @scumimpaler yeah that sounds about right. one thing i notice about lots of aikido practicioners is that if they lose, they explain why, or try to. In real life application i'm not going to reply JUST on aikido, but i know a lot of people that can, i can not. I don't mean any offense to other people with my comments, just throwing out there. merely my opinion! Osu!

  • @xxBlazionxx What??? Kyokushin training has nothing to do with real situations, you think in real fight the fighter wont punch you in the face?

    I already did Kyokushin and I am green belt in it.

  • Sensei Tissier always steals the show at Bercy. Best martial artist alive today.

  • Nvm got it sorry,

    Yanni - On Sacred Ground

  • Can anyone please reply and tell me what song this is?!?

  • On Sacred Ground from Yanni ;)

  • 4:32 uum ... hoping and saving himself from injuries but no defence were used XD . i love aikido.and this vid (sry for my English)

  • Cet imbécile ne sait pas faire la différence entre Uchi et Uke... désolant.

  • I wish the music wasn't playing so you could hear the commentators better.

  • oh no... I love the music.. I would like to know what it is..

  • if you want to know that music is called On Sacred Ground from Yanni ;)

  • thanx :)

  • Jle cOnaii luii !!

  • excellent !!!

  • Tissier really knows about aikido.

  • 01:13 in that Yokomenuchi Iriminage the Irimi Tenkan really looks like Tohei Sensei's style, very smooth and almost like "flying".

  • My favourite.

    Hands down.

  • Any Aikido practitioners here? Tissier does a lot of jumping, but we're taught in Aikido to keep out feet on the ground at all times as it gives us more power. It seems like he's getting more power by jumping and thrusting the uke forward.

  • That is a good question. I presume he does it in order to gain even more speed... But I am not sure. He never teaches like that. When giving a class, his feet are always firmly on the ground.

  • our sensei advices us to keep our feet on the ground, but he also said that there may be some instances that you may "jump" while doing some of the techniques. it is usually only done by shihans that are a little vertically challenged, especially in doing an iriminage.. i guess you have to be a high degree black belt to attempt jumps in doing aikido techniques.. you must know when to sacrifice power and stability for speed, momentum, and getting to the right height to execute the technique.. :)

  • like in 1:25 :)

  • @spren27 the jumping is highly metaphorical i think and its to make hte art vibrant however in real situation i doubt christian tissuer would jump like this

    that is the confused with aikido high belts because they do things like a poet but people wil lnot understand its just a art for them .

  • 2m17s - 2m20s.. someone running towards you and he's lying still on the ground in 3 seconds!

    Awesome performance and beautiful to watch! :)

  • thats one of my favourites, he's amazing!

  • The Creativity is unmatched! It's rather boring seeing so many aikidoka doing the same movements over and over again. Not Tissier! And the speed and fluidity. At around 1:27 he is actually completely off the ground, lol

  • Notice how there are no mma meatheads on here bashing Aikido like a lot of the other vids? How strange! because even they can see how awesome Tissier Sensei is.

  • There's just something about his technique that you dont see from many other Aikido sensei. Steven seagal back in the day was the same, just so dynamic!

  • Shihan Tissier, really brings out the beauty of the techniques of Aikido. The timing is superb. His so grounded even though it seems at times he looks like jumping. Just awesome. I can see the techniques possessing a martial spirit. this is the aikido O'sensei will be proud of.

  • Waaaaaaaaaaa Tissier rules!!!

  • I've been practicing Aikido for 5 months now and I've watched this video over and over, its such an inspiration.

    17 and 18th of May Tissier Sensei going to be in Amsterdam, and unfortunately I can't be there then, it would have been a truely amazing experience.

  • INteresting is also, that Tissier always have got the right timing, he is not a second too fast nor to slow, hes just right in time ande this brings both movements in harmony

  • i'm portuguese. And i have had the honour of being in a event and practice with im!

    Amazing is balance and calm. Always with a great posture!

  • Tissier is always balanced.  Amazing!

  • **Tisser is here in the U.S doing a seminar in san diego this week*********

  • wow now thats a great aikido vid. Thanks for sharing

  • 1:25 kote-gaeshi - awsome

  • Je sais que ce commentaire ne servira pas a grand choses mais j'ai quand mm envie de le dire: Je suis fasciné par Christian Tissier :-D J'ai eu l'occasion de travailler avec lui lors de stage: Oh my God!!! Tu comprends pas ce qui t'arrive tellement il est rapide,sentiment indescriptible.

    Pour la petite anecdote: Los d'une démonstration a bercy il a cassé le boken(un vrai!) d'un de ses partenaires pcq il avait mal controlé sa force :-O céti pas impressionant...lol

  • BTW please does anybody know what is this music?

    Thanx

  • Yanni - On Sacred Ground

  • When i'm looking on such as beautiful body language my heart is been filled with inspiration and gratitude to god. Thanks all who try to be better and walking toward perfection.

  • Perfect!!!

  • I can only say one thing. Tissier sensei is a great master. It´s impresionant. Thank you.

  • thx for posting that great video. i really do admire his technique. you can clearly see by the change of pace in his techniques that he uses the power of the attacker (i.e. when the attacker tries do stand up again, or to resist the direction he has been led to). it's really amazing how flowing aikido can be and this video is a good reason to keep on practising :)

  • song name is ON SACRED GROUND and artist is YANNI

  • This is the Path to yourself,Christian gives the best of this martial art!!! I like him very much but he cannot beat Steven Seagal!!!

  • i've seen ocassional vid with Seagal but he has a different technique. I'm not sure if to describe it as rough or very very energetic. Tissier does it more flowing, IMHO.

  • Great Video. Thankyou for posting.

  • ;). Happy that you like it.

    FB

  • tnx. do you practice ?

  • Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!

  • IF i may ask, what song is used for this vid? It's a really good one :)

  • Very bad ass ukemi. I love this video

  • this has to be the best bercy so far, not least because shihan's techniques are so brilliantly 'open' like no other, but also the music and the excellent commentary, :)

  • now that's having skills... thumbs up!

  • an what is that you practice?

  • an ai ki do fighter does not know how to kick!

  • don't need to... i don't practice aikido but me good friends do, i attempt to kick them on various occasions and they know some pretty awesome locks for your feet.

  • Awesome, Tissier rocks

  • The music for this video is really well thought off. Thumbs up
