this is aikido? good God I'm glad I'm not practing that! You're just throwing the opponet around, what's up with that? I'm glad I'm practicing Shou Shu.
I'm not an Aikido practitioner, but the direction of that throw is just so amazing <3 You can see how original throw was meant to confuse and break the attacker.
i hate ppl that say oh hes letting him throw him or hes falling on porpose.this stuff is just a demonstration and you could get seriously injured if you dont go with those throws.the techniqes do work so the guy will proly end up throwing you on your damn neck if you resist and youll be dead.thats why they teach them how to fall and they do it for there own safty not to make the master look good.he will kill you lol.
I agree, everyone discredits aikido as 'flawed' and 'ineffective', yet none of them would have the guts to get up and challenge one of these fighters.
aikido is a mind boggleing concept for most people, and it is not hard to see why. aikido is a very hard art to learn because it is what is called a SOFT ART. a HARD ART is an art that would "meet force with force", like tae-kwon-do and karate, while a soft art is one that does not teach you to meet force with force, and it is a harder art to learn then most others because it is hard to bring people out of that "fighting mind" and into a "peaceful state of mind". i am not bagging on any martia
@iamdragonborn yes, and that's indeed an important difference. From watching some other movies, I believe (as an aikido layman) that this art works not only with chi, but also kundalini. If I had 20 years less, that would be enough reasons to put me back at dojo...
@Arch777Angel in real life, as well as in Aikido, no people will allow others to grab their hands, from all aikido demostration, we do let our partner to grab because those are aikido motion, so-called the basics of movement and action. So for those advanced aikidokas will always move first before the opponents have the chance to grab or attack them :)
Thank you! Well said. In the dojo we move from a near static position in order to work on our technique. To the layman it looks scripted and fake. "I'll grab your hand, and then I'll let you throw me." In the real world, a trained Akidoka will move and blend with the energy of his attacker putting him in an unbalanced situation, before the assailant ever puts a hand on him. Then once off balance, the attacker is at the mercy of what ever the Aikidoka wants to do.
@Arch777Angel To an aikido master any punch is just holding your arm out for them. Most of what is in the video is demonstrations so the "enemy" is kinda holding his arm out for him but trust me when i say that aikido does work. its pretty amazing really.
Dude We all totally punch like these dudes in real life. We don't jab cross, feint cross to a hard hook, we don't throw low kicks, and we definitely leave our hands out whenever we punch, leaving us susceptible to being taken down. Oh yeah, here's a big one, have you ever seen an Aikidoka deal with an uppercut? What's their answer to that? This is the first style I took and I'll admit, it sucks
@dss103 If its' an uppercut, then typically you won't bother trying to take the hand - a good atemi followed with a tenkan followed with an irimi nage/palm strike to the chin should do the trick. That is just one suggestion. Aikido isn't all about "grabbing a person's wrist". Yes, some of the striking is lazy because the Ukemi do not wish to get hurt or force their partner to apply the technique fully, but all of these techniques, when applied properly, cause immense damage.
I see that alot of people in these videos tend to comment saying stuff like "Look how easy that is, they just do the same thing over and over again" but these idiots dont realise how much you have to adapt your throws depending on the size, weight or how well your opponent can change his body in mid air, even if you can hardly see any diffference there is alot of skill being used in each technique.
@TJLXLR8 - Exactly! The techniques require such a fine level of skill on such a subtle level that you simply cannot see it just by watching it on youtube, but have to watch it directly. Shihan Tissier is very impressive :)
Aikido is not to be used in a fight since it will only get you hurt bad. 2 years Aikido, 2 years BJJ, 2 years Karate is more realistic in a fight of 1 or more attackers.
Imagine hard strikes followed by Iriminage and once the attacker is on the floor apply a choke or a armbar.
Two years of Aikido will get you nowhere. Try 10-15 years before you are considered skilled in the art. I will take the skilled Aikidoka over your scenario anyday. You also forget, the Aikidoka looks to bring order from chaos, and make the attacker re-think his current course of action, not to inflict as much pain as possible.
All martial arts are a dance ;-) I am a martial artist [myself] and its hearth moves very much like a dance. When you are sparing, you are dancing with your opponent, in harmony, like energy systems and dancing fire. Give it your all, move with the sacred dance of body and essence.
@DeannaMarie0Krysta i know first hand for i am practicing this particular art. many people here dont understand what isn't sports MMA, which is sad because now, most of the important arts are being lost. when is the last time you saw a Tai Chi dojo, or Wing Chun?
btw, what martial art do you practice, if you don't mind me asking
I would highly suggest CKM (Commando Krav Maga), Moni Aizik trained in koryu jujutsu and combined it with KM that he learned in the IDF. CKM is currently being trained by-
Canadian Military,Brazilian Military, Illinois Police (can't speak for the rest of USA), and some techniques have been modifide by the USMC for MCMAP!
I'm not saying that Aikido is a bad art, I've trained in it from when I was 10-16 years old, and got my 2nd kyu. I'm just saying osensei modified Aikijutsu to fit the self defense needs of 1930-60's Japan. These techniques no longer fit our needs! (Referring to post 9/11 USA)
@PDunkel66 - Most martial arts do not defend against a gun specifically, but any handheld weapon. While kotegaeshi does work very well against someone coming too close with a gun, there are many different techniques you "could" try. The real skill is to blend and move with your attacker appropriately.
@PDunkel66 As for single side defences, I have to disagree. Every aikidoka is taught the techniques on both sides with both arms so "switching sides" should never be an issue.
As for your opponent using the "wrong side" - with good posture, this should never be a problem. Since you allow your attacker to commit on some level to the attack, most techniques do not require you to pre-empt the movement. Not to mention, as we are taught to "go with the flow"...more to come.
@PDunkel66 - as we are taught to "go with the flow", should our opponent change sides than any good aikidoka should be able to adapt with the movement to gain a better advantage. Besides, you do not look to actively apply a specific technique, but to apply whatever technique might work best given the situation you're in. There should never be an issue with "which side to use".
@PDunkel66 - in terms of ground defence though, I would agree that although we practice many immobilising locks and pins that can be applied when on the ground, defence on the ground is not overly emphasised. As a karateka and an aikidoka, I would love to learn how to move a bit better on the ground.
Pro- it will make you knife,stick proof against a enemy that commits 100% to a attack but these techniques will not work against Kali/FMA! (In Kali the focus is to cut/stab you 100,000 times.) It will teach you to defend your self against multiple attackers. (But only if they wait politely for you to defend your self from the previous attack.)
@MrDVKY Kids always watch WWE or MMA fights that seem to be the most "Hardcore" martial arts fights in their lives. What they don't know is that that is just bullshit. MMA destroys the true beauty of martial arts with their shoveling each other to the ground and fighting on TV. Martial Arts is only used for self-defense and this master is one of the best in self-defense. MMA fighters know punches and kicks that hurt but this guy knows how to break every single bone in your body.
@MrDVKY Can you not see it's obviously rehearsed? Do you not see where they are being thrown from, like where the hands are?
If it were a true fight, it wouldn't be this slow, but still as majestic. They "dance around" because they use momentum with them, they use their grace as a deceptive to keeping momentum to eternally screw up your arm/leg.
I appreciate the nice philosophical ideals behind aikido and other martial arts styles, but how practical are they in real life situations?
To me, it looks like aikido would be a fun sport to participate in because your opponent knows how to fight appropriately. But in the real world, your opponent will likely have no knowledge or respect for martial arts, so what do you do then? Seems like a cool sport, but I question its real-world practicality. This coming from an unbiased viewer.
i thought the same, before learning it myself. I have not been practising it for a very long time but it has been the martial art i have most used in practical and real life situations.I have practised Karate reached brown belt and reached Cho Dan Bo in taekwondo, and to be honest i never saw the practicality of them in real life at the end of the day i was street fighting when i had to defend myself. Its very rare to get an opponent to wait for you while you do a round house kick.

@lukeman3000 i value alot of the techniques i learnt from the first martial arts i did but Aikido has been the most practical for me i'm not pimping the martial art just saying that its the most natural and useful for me to execute in real life, i find that with Aikido when you engage its over quick not in 4 minutes, you are constantly repeating one technique during training in many ways to execute it for various attacks, my gf has got me into krav maga now too, good luck with your search.
@lukeman3000 Aikido teaches how to manipulate joints which can be a real pain for your would-be attackers if you manage to grab their joints. People say they don't use martial arts in real life but the problem is that people don't know how to calm themselves down and remember their techniques and use them, most people go into panic mode and just think of swinging their fists and hoping one would land and forget their training. It's not the martial art, it's you and your ability to utilize it.
@lukeman3000 Most people dont practise martial arts, to use in a real life situation, they do it to enrich their life with something they enjoy and stay in shape while doing it.
Aikido is a fantastic art and I highly recommend it. A great defensive style and in that sense those who adhere to a offensive style ( MMA) can not appreciate it and resort to degrading it.
@DopeDethrone I strongly disagree. If you have ever read into comprehensive analysis of the nature of Aikido, you would have thought otherwise.
Indeed, there are Jujutsu-ryu that have gone to aesthetic just for the sake of gaining popularity, and THOSE were the Jujutsu-ryu that have grown popular in the West. They don't necessarily have to be Ryu that haven't been born on the battlefield, by the way.
Read about Ueshiba's thoughts and the way he created Aikido. You'll be stunned.
@DopeDethrone You need specifics dude otherwise you are just wasting our time. Cite an example of what you are talking about, DUH. I am not sure you have ever looked up that word.
@DopeDethrone "A foam padded octagon??? Gimme five minutes alone in an octagon and you'll respect it's flooring and the real fighters who fight in there.... regardless of who wins."
As you can see the point of your argument was to accuse me of disrespecting MMA since I said there was foam padding in an Octagon, cage etc .You said that there wasn't foam padding in another reply but it wasn't true as I showed you. Where is the semantics?
all the mma fan boys who are commenting hater comments of the Aikido martial art dont seem to understand the martial art at all.For starters its not a brawler martial art people with brawler mentality and big egos seem to be the ones who dislike this martial art,because they feel they have to prove themselves they fail to see Aikidos effectiveness and beauty.Aikido's main principle is the more power the opponent uses,the easier it is for you.like O sensei ueshiba said " their is no opponent".
@DopeDethrone Actually, you don't see a lot of its applications because of how much it stresses a defensive strategy. Also yes it is DEFINITELY hard to see the practicality of aikido in earlier lvls esp against somebody who could properly control their weight in a fight (friend tried to catch my punches using aikido and got hit in the face 6-7 times trying haha)
But in the later levels it gages your knowledge of joints and vital points, reaction time and distance perception. It has its own uses
@DopeDethrone I am not disrespecting anything by stating a fact.There is foam padding,is there not?Why is being objective disrespectful?I respect the skills of individual fighters and I like learn from them regardless of what art(s)they train.My point was that in mma they train on padding and the cage where the competition happens isn't exactly a real a world surface so the ukemi(breakfalls)in Aikido have a practical purpose.Your idea of respect is labeling it theatrics when you know 0 about it.
i was once given a chance to get 3 friends and attack an Aikido student. It didn't go so well... we all got sent to the ground fairly quick. This all looks fake... but dang... you have to experience it to believe it!
@tomask636 we usually do that, because this is the spirit of Aikido, try To help everyone to get closer to the perfection (we know that it is impossible to be perfect, but as much we try, as much we'll be better). So, doesn't matter if this guy don't believe us, we tried to show him our point of view. Aikido is not only a self defense, it is a way of life, a "DO" (way in japonese). =)
One question occurs to me after reading the comments here - why do you - who have encountered the art - insist on explaining and convincing them - who have no idea what it takes - that this art works? it is a serious waste of time because they will not believe you anyway until they meet you on the mat and start tapping it in agony hoping the damage will not be permanent. Seriously, Aikido does not need your defending it. It is self-defence!
I got my shodan in Shotokan when I was 16, and I've studied other striking arts since then, but let's make one thing clear. Hitting someone in the head with your fist or your foot is NOTHING compared to hitting someone in the head with the PLANET EARTH, ok?! The people in these videos getting thrown have practiced years of break-falling/rolls to be able to withstand this type of force relatively unscathed. The average neanderthal on the street has not, period.
Its hilarious to me that anyone could disbelieve the effectiveness of martial techniques proven in battle and passed down by warriors who were still fighting with and against swords long after the western world had gone to firearms. One might pause a moment to contemplate this. Many of these techniques were designed to be just as effective against sword-wielding assailants/combatants as they are against the unarmed opponent.
Are you not familiar with the history of Aikido? osensei was the son of a farmer that was killed by a gang, then osensei began training in MA. He began his training in aikijutsu a art that has neck/arm/leg breaks/dislocations and teaches how to fight against swords/knives and multiple enemy. He then trained in yagyu shinkage ryu kenjutsu, and kito ryu jujutsu.
osensei created jigoku ryu aikijutsu by combining these styles. In ww2 osensei got in a bar fight with a jap soldier and osensei killed the soldier. At this point osensei modified his system so that it would cause no damage to the attacker; and also be effective for self defense in 1930-60's japan.
Also, the western world didn't stop using swords tell the 1920's; hell british/german officers in ww1 where armed with only swords and handguns!
@MasterPoucksBestMan Aikido is not a martial art. The '-do' at the end means 'the way of'. A Japanese martial art ends in '-jutsu', not '-do' - so the martial form of Aikido is Aikijutsu which is different from Aikido. This sounds a little confusing, so one may pause to contemplate it. Aikijutsu is hundreds of years old and is proven to work in battle, Aikido was formed in the 1920s and was designed not to harm your opponent. People study Aikido mainly for the movement, not to hurt people
A trait commonly shared by people who truly know what they are doing: it looks so easy. so goddamned easy, even though there is years of training on details behind it. These people almost seemed like dancing, not so much when each and one of their techniques if capable of harming you pretty badly :P
If it seems fake, believe me, it's not. If it seems ineffective, it is most definitely not. These students participating in the demonstrations simply know how to fall correctly. Imagine if this were real though, and your body slammed into concrete instead of the mat
All the respect in the world to him, but when all the guys are also trained and know how to fall and know all the techniques, it makes it look like they are acting. Would like to see a video of him beating up a bunch of dudes on the street.
also a pissed up idiot doesnt know whats coming and doesnt know how to fall. So before he hits the deck you could have snapped his arm in 2 places, and have him flying towards concrete with his face, knees or elbows.. he wont get back up.
very dangerous, as a punch or kick to the head is partially absorbed, head hits concrete, nothing is absorbed, head goes from moving at fast to stopping dead, brain rattles inside.. man is dead. An idiot would just be flung around like a ragdoll
i am looking at taking up aikido and love all these stupid comments... its obvious that it will look rehearsed as its not an offensive martial art.. most other martial arts you can go for the kick to the head etc and lets say you dont hold back, its gonna sting a bit, a few mins later another kick etc is landed and you go home a bit bruised but you will still get up for work the next day... with aikido you would have broken arms, busted knees, elbows, long recovery time.. no work next day.!!
@999regvardy Im lookin to take it too but it they study this one thing i dont remember what it is called but its were they can fall and not feel the pain every martial art does.
@999regvardy I like the spirit of your comment and while I agree that a face plant from Aikido is brutal I think you are cutting the other styles short. I have just started practising Aikido for the last year and it has some exceptionally useful techniques. BUT I've studied Karate for 18 years and if i kicked you in the face your in hospital for more than a day. Failing that I'll kick your shin and snap that instead. Or break your ribs, chin and nose with punches.
@DopeDethrone It's better to get used to throwing yourself around than someone doing it to you against your will and not knowing how to fall safely. The world is not a foam padded octagon floor.
Aikido, what a beautiful art form. Who cares about effectiveness, if that is what you're after train Kickboxing/ Muay Thai along with Brazilian jiu jitsu. Then go prove how good you are by hurting another human being, see how effective a human being you feel after that.....just not anywhere near me please!
I beg all the tough guys that comment on aikido videos to go to their local dojo and take a class and do some research on the art I think it will change your mind. At best you'll come home with broken wrists and can't type your annoying comments anymore. If you don't like the video watch something else!
@ubhobbes2 No because they have to in demonstrations because it is about showing technique whilst protecting your partner that is why they breakfall to prevent injury and that the fact they can get broken bones if they do not, you do not wanna apply 100% pressure on a sankyo or any technique to show some fags online about what aikido can actually do, if you do not respect aikido and dont believe in it's concept then don't watch it simple. cheers :)
Right some of this is practical but not all of it, like how many times in a pub do you see sombody closeline a raging drunk maniac, id rather just straight right him
@daboyden ok 1. its not a closeline as you put it 2. people that understand the ukemi is to protect your self so said drunk would have head slam into floor
Awe inspiring!! I am an aikido student, and let me also say to the doubters just how real this art is. The only one doing the throwing is Shihan Tissier. If you think that the uke is overdoing their physical response, I'd urge you to think again. No one wants to be on the end of one of these throws without knowing how to meet the mat in one piece. The "gymnastics" you're laughing at is the only thing preventing the uke from checking into A&E.
@d517q7 Dont worry mate, i was joking, no hard feelings. My aim is not to start a MA war or a keyboard war. i was just interested in what your response would be as many practitioners of aikido seem to go alot by a wrist grab
@daaskapital1 Oh ok, cool. No hard feelings from me either. A lot of the techniques I've studied do start with static writ grabs, admittedly; but by learning to do them from static positions I've found that it makes more dynamic attacks a lot easier to handle, because then the opponent is giving you their energy to start with and you don't have to initiate, merely control. Wrist grabs are seldom going to happen in a real attack, I understand; but a lot of the techniques...
@daaskapital1 ...in aikido come from downward or sideways strikes to the head, punches or stabs to the body and kicks too - and these are more common. Irimi nage is just one technique, but the beauty of aikido is that by connecting different techniques together in a fluid motion, you can defend against e.g. a punch at the start of your technique and still end up throwing your opponent in the manner shown above at the end of your technique. It's a very fluid art form from my experience.
@d517q7 Cool, its interesting to get someone eldes opinion on the static wrist grab. Now that it has been explained a bit more clearly, i can see where the aikido practitioners are coming from.
I'm pretty sure others have said this, but the reason why they "throw themselves around" is because if they don't, they will get seriously injured. These moves are executed during demos, not actual combat. So it is quite obvious why the master is holding back and why the students are throwing themselves on the ground
@flavio3d intelligent comment why don't you try attack an experienced aikido practicioner with your tango and see who taps 1st. Internet warrior i hope someday you overcome your ignorance, peace be with you
Ueshiba in his later years pretty much only used irimi-nage & ikkyo. Amazing difference from the hundreds of techniques that were originally learnt in aiki-jitsu.
Tissier is obviously a very good martial artist,I can't help disliking the excessive use of force (really, when he pulls someone to the ground really hard,he doesn't need to lift them up again - also it IS pulling, not unbalancing).Also there is often a disconnection in the final throw part (prefer hand to face).Compare with Ueshiba.
In Aikido, all the throws that don't involve joint locks are called kokyu-nages. So that is the umbrella name for a lot of the throws. Some of them have specific names as well, irimi-nage is an entering throw. There are others, like Tenshin-nage and Kaiten-nage.
By the way, something very important: the Aikido this old masters still teach is not seen on the internet. For instance, Saotome Shihan best sword tricks, his typical Karate strikes, his kicks (including some from Muay Thai) will be never seen on an official or unofficial video. He share his knowledge with the people He selects when He feels it's time to do so, and always privately in the Dojo. Carrying a photo camera or a cel phone to rec his lessons if He dosn't want, is not allowed.....
It is Aikikai, the traditional form. I have one of his students currently training with me in New Zealand's central dojo in Auckland, with Nobuo Takasa Shihan 7.dan. What you normally see on youtube are basic techniques, the ones showing the form. Of course you have a lot of variations and generally high grades can display some very effective ones as this one above. I have seen much more effective ones from his student, much shorter... and certainly a neck breaker if executed

I am not one to bash but I find it hard to really appreciate the practicality of this combat art. Although theoretically it sounds beautiful, I just want to see ONE video of it being applied on a real opponent. At the very least someone who is charging at the aikido practitioner with the intent to not be defeated. After all isn't the ultimate usefulness of a martial art dependent on its practicality?
@albomale Well, it depends on what you define as a 'real opponent'. Aikido doesn't really work in competitions for the sole reason that it is designed to take down opponents that are, like you said, charging with real intent to kill, swiftly and quickly without much effort. Many people visualise 'real opponents' as dan grade karateka or kung fu masters etc. But how many high level martial artists are going to attack you on the streets? Typically, street attackers just come charging.
oliviaolas, if you want to build up strength then i wouldnt recommend aikido, we are told that aikido should be effortless, the more strength you use the less helpfull the technique will be. its all about subtle movments and over balancing your opponent .
ryandottv, i do agree with you to a degree, and yes, aikido is a defense based martial art, however, we do have strikes that can be incorperated into out defense, such as palm strikes to the jaw and/or body/head blows.
this is aikido? good God I'm glad I'm not practing that! You're just throwing the opponet around, what's up with that? I'm glad I'm practicing Shou Shu.

@Arch777Angel in real life, as well as in Aikido, no people will allow others to grab their hands, from all aikido demostration, we do let our partner to grab because those are aikido motion, so-called the basics of movement and action. So for those advanced aikidokas will always move first before the opponents have the chance to grab or attack them :)

@dcwtf09
Thank you! Well said. In the dojo we move from a near static position in order to work on our technique. To the layman it looks scripted and fake. "I'll grab your hand, and then I'll let you throw me." In the real world, a trained Akidoka will move and blend with the energy of his attacker putting him in an unbalanced situation, before the assailant ever puts a hand on him. Then once off balance, the attacker is at the mercy of what ever the Aikidoka wants to do.

@Arch777Angel To an aikido master any punch is just holding your arm out for them. Most of what is in the video is demonstrations so the "enemy" is kinda holding his arm out for him but trust me when i say that aikido does work. its pretty amazing really.

@dss103 If its' an uppercut, then typically you won't bother trying to take the hand - a good atemi followed with a tenkan followed with an irimi nage/palm strike to the chin should do the trick. That is just one suggestion. Aikido isn't all about "grabbing a person's wrist". Yes, some of the striking is lazy because the Ukemi do not wish to get hurt or force their partner to apply the technique fully, but all of these techniques, when applied properly, cause immense damage.

Aikido is not to be used in a fight since it will only get you hurt bad. 2 years Aikido, 2 years BJJ, 2 years Karate is more realistic in a fight of 1 or more attackers.
Imagine hard strikes followed by Iriminage and once the attacker is on the floor apply a choke or a armbar.

Two years of Aikido will get you nowhere. Try 10-15 years before you are considered skilled in the art. I will take the skilled Aikidoka over your scenario anyday. You also forget, the Aikidoka looks to bring order from chaos, and make the attacker re-think his current course of action, not to inflict as much pain as possible.

All martial arts are a dance ;-) I am a martial artist [myself] and its hearth moves very much like a dance. When you are sparing, you are dancing with your opponent, in harmony, like energy systems and dancing fire. Give it your all, move with the sacred dance of body and essence.

I'm not saying that Aikido is a bad art, I've trained in it from when I was 10-16 years old, and got my 2nd kyu. I'm just saying osensei modified Aikijutsu to fit the self defense needs of 1930-60's Japan. These techniques no longer fit our needs! (Referring to post 9/11 USA)
PDunkel66 2 months ago
Cons- No ground fighting! True you never want to go to the ground, but 8 out of 10 fights will go there whether you want to or not.
The only technique that has a chance against a gun is Kotegaeshi!
Aikido uses single sided defense. (meaning if you do a defense for a right yokomenuchi and your enemy uses a left then your screwed.)
PDunkel66 2 months ago
@PDunkel66 Wow, you didn't even get to jiyu-waza stage.
shihonage 2 months ago
@PDunkel66 - Most martial arts do not defend against a gun specifically, but any handheld weapon. While kotegaeshi does work very well against someone coming too close with a gun, there are many different techniques you "could" try. The real skill is to blend and move with your attacker appropriately.
RKSloth 1 month ago
@PDunkel66 As for single side defences, I have to disagree. Every aikidoka is taught the techniques on both sides with both arms so "switching sides" should never be an issue.
As for your opponent using the "wrong side" - with good posture, this should never be a problem. Since you allow your attacker to commit on some level to the attack, most techniques do not require you to pre-empt the movement. Not to mention, as we are taught to "go with the flow"...more to come.
RKSloth 1 month ago
@PDunkel66 - as we are taught to "go with the flow", should our opponent change sides than any good aikidoka should be able to adapt with the movement to gain a better advantage. Besides, you do not look to actively apply a specific technique, but to apply whatever technique might work best given the situation you're in. There should never be an issue with "which side to use".
RKSloth 1 month ago
@PDunkel66 - in terms of ground defence though, I would agree that although we practice many immobilising locks and pins that can be applied when on the ground, defence on the ground is not overly emphasised. As a karateka and an aikidoka, I would love to learn how to move a bit better on the ground.
RKSloth 1 month ago
Aikido has it's pros and cons.
Pro- it will make you knife,stick proof against a enemy that commits 100% to a attack but these techniques will not work against Kali/FMA! (In Kali the focus is to cut/stab you 100,000 times.) It will teach you to defend your self against multiple attackers. (But only if they wait politely for you to defend your self from the previous attack.)

There is no competition and all prcticers, no matter how good or bad treat each other with respect.

I appreciate the nice philosophical ideals behind aikido and other martial arts styles, but how practical are they in real life situations?
To me, it looks like aikido would be a fun sport to participate in because your opponent knows how to fight appropriately. But in the real world, your opponent will likely have no knowledge or respect for martial arts, so what do you do then? Seems like a cool sport, but I question its real-world practicality. This coming from an unbiased viewer.

@lukeman3000 i value alot of the techniques i learnt from the first martial arts i did but Aikido has been the most practical for me i'm not pimping the martial art just saying that its the most natural and useful for me to execute in real life, i find that with Aikido when you engage its over quick not in 4 minutes, you are constantly repeating one technique during training in many ways to execute it for various attacks, my gf has got me into krav maga now too, good luck with your search.
DreamstateEmergency 4 months ago
@lukeman3000 Aikido teaches how to manipulate joints which can be a real pain for your would-be attackers if you manage to grab their joints. People say they don't use martial arts in real life but the problem is that people don't know how to calm themselves down and remember their techniques and use them, most people go into panic mode and just think of swinging their fists and hoping one would land and forget their training. It's not the martial art, it's you and your ability to utilize it.

@DopeDethrone Actually, you don't see a lot of its applications because of how much it stresses a defensive strategy.

But in the later levels it gages your knowledge of joints and vital points, reaction time and distance perception. It has its own uses

One question occurs to me after reading the comments here - why do you - who have encountered the art - insist on explaining and convincing them - who have no idea what it takes - that this art works? it is a serious waste of time because they will not believe you anyway until they meet you on the mat and start tapping it in agony hoping the damage will not be permanent. Seriously, Aikido does not need your defending it. It is self-defence!

Hitting someone in the head with your fist or your foot is NOTHING compared to hitting someone in the head with the PLANET EARTH, ok?! The people in these videos getting thrown have practiced years of break-falling/rolls to be able to withstand this type of force relatively unscathed.

Its hilarious to me that anyone could disbelieve the effectiveness of martial techniques proven in battle and passed down by warriors who were still fighting with and against swords long after the western world had gone to firearms. One might pause a moment to contemplate this. Many of these techniques were designed to be just as effective against sword-wielding assailants/combatants as they are against the unarmed opponent.

@MasterPoucksBestMan
Are you not familiar with the history of Aikido? osensei was the son of a farmer that was killed by a gang, then osensei began training in MA. He began his training in aikijutsu a art that has neck/arm/leg breaks/dislocations and teaches how to fight against swords/knives and multiple enemy. He then trained in yagyu shinkage ryu kenjutsu, and kito ryu jujutsu.
PDunkel66 2 months ago
@MasterPoucksBestMan
osensei created jigoku ryu aikijutsu by combining these styles. In ww2 osensei got in a bar fight with a jap soldier and osensei killed the soldier. At this point osensei modified his system so that it would cause no damage to the attacker; and also be effective for self defense in 1930-60's japan.
Also, the western world didn't stop using swords tell the 1920's; hell british/german officers in ww1 where armed with only swords and handguns!

@MasterPoucksBestMan Aikido is not a martial art. The '-do' at the end means 'the way of'. A Japanese martial art ends in '-jutsu', not '-do' - so the martial form of Aikido is Aikijutsu which is different from Aikido. This sounds a little confusing, so one may pause to contemplate it. Aikijutsu is hundreds of years old and is proven to work in battle, Aikido was formed in the 1920s and was designed not to harm your opponent. People study Aikido mainly for the movement, not to hurt people

daaskapital1 7 months ago
@daaskapital1 Oh ok, cool. No hard feelings from me either. A lot of the techniques I've studied do start with static writ grabs, admittedly; but by learning to do them from static positions I've found that it makes more dynamic attacks a lot easier to handle, because then the opponent is giving you their energy to start with and you don't have to initiate, merely control. Wrist grabs are seldom going to happen in a real attack, I understand; but a lot of the techniques...
d517q7 7 months ago
@daaskapital1 ...in aikido come from downward or sideways strikes to the head, punches or stabs to the body and kicks too - and these are more common. Irimi nage is just one technique, but the beauty of aikido is that by connecting different techniques together in a fluid motion, you can defend against e.g. a punch at the start of your technique and still end up throwing your opponent in the manner shown above at the end of your technique. It's a very fluid art form from my experience.

I'm pretty sure others have said this, but the reason why they "throw themselves around" is because if they don't, they will get seriously injured.

Ueshiba in his later years pretty much only used irimi-nage & ikkyo. Amazing difference from the hundreds of techniques that were originally learnt in aiki-jitsu.
Tissier is obviously a very good martial artist,I can't help disliking the excessive use of force (really, when he pulls someone to the ground really hard,he doesn't need to lift them up again - also it IS pulling, not unbalancing).Also there is often a disconnection in the final throw part (prefer hand to face).Compare with Ueshiba.

In Aikido, all the throws that don't involve joint locks are called kokyu-nages. So that is the umbrella name for a lot of the throws. Some of them have specific names as well, irimi-nage is an entering throw. There are others, like Tenshin-nage and Kaiten-nage.

By the way, something very important: the Aikido this old masters still teach is not seen on the internet. For instance, Saotome Shihan best sword tricks, his typical Karate strikes, his kicks (including some from Muay Thai) will be never seen on an official or unofficial video. He share his knowledge with the people He selects when He feels it's time to do so, and always privately in the Dojo. Carrying a photo camera or a cel phone to rec his lessons if He dosn't want, is not allowed.....

Does anyone know what style of aikido Tissier is doing?

It is Aikikai, the traditional form. I have one of his students currently training with me in New Zealand's central dojo in Auckland, with Nobuo Takasa Shihan 7.dan. What you normally see on youtube are basic techniques, the ones showing the form. Of course you have a lot of variations and generally high grades can display some very effective ones as this one above. I have seen much more effective ones from his student, much shorter... and certainly a neck breaker if executed

I am not one to bash but I find it hard to really appreciate the practicality of this combat art. Although theoretically it sounds beautiful, I just want to see ONE video of it being applied on a real opponent. At the very least someone who is charging at the aikido practitioner with the intent to not be defeated. After all isn't the ultimate usefulness of a martial art dependent on its practicality?

@albomale Well, it depends on what you define as a 'real opponent'. Aikido doesn't really work in competitions for the sole reason that it is designed to take down opponents that are, like you said, charging with real intent to kill, swiftly and quickly without much effort. Many people visualise 'real opponents' as dan grade karateka or kung fu masters etc. But how many high level martial artists are going to attack you on the streets? Typically, street attackers just come charging.

oliviaolas, if you want to build up strength then i wouldnt recommend aikido, we are told that aikido should be effortless, the more strength you use the less helpfull the technique will be. its all about subtle movments and over balancing your opponent .
harmonise your mind and body

ryandottv, i do agree with you to a degree, and yes, aikido is a defense based martial art, however, we do have strikes that can be incorperated into out defense, such as palm strikes to the jaw and/or body/head blows.
an attack during a defense is highly effecive.
