Never in a million years could you pull any of that off against a resisting opponent. The problem (aside from self-delusion) is that you're not training realistically. Attackers in the real world don't throw a straight punch and then just leave it out there with the rest of their body frozen while you work your magic. If you're lucky, you'll never be in an actual combative situation, but if you ever do, you're gonna be in trouble.
there are some out there who cant see the value of avoiding getting hit,or the precise meaning of atemi. in aiki it is to divert ki,like a boxing feint,in karate you would be striking a vital point,to control,jeet kune do would not discount it.indeed to quote ip mans son everything that comes from my fist is wing chun,think or get hurt.
@ripdavip im not sure who told you that, but that is a lie. Check out Daito ryu aikijujutsu, it's a martial art Osensei learned before he made aikido, daito ryu is made to hurt people, but not aikido. inform yourself before writing such "smart" comment.
con respeto para todas las técnicas esta es muy efectiva para iniciar un aseguramiento o sometimiento policial solo que hay practicar mucho no son para madrear
so many "if its not in mma its shite" people out there... Question - Wing chun is very similar in these moves, the first few especially, the punch through his punch then gurad hand undr armpit was taught me by WC sifu, is there a link between these arts?
@turbodude555 that sort of makes me think of Ip man doing wing chun and other techniques like in that one youtube video ****** STREET FIGHT real martial arts *****
looking at videos without actual training,you just wont understand,try training in karate and aikido,make the effort,then will see the truth,both are complimentary,and these demonstrations are the best ive seen.does your sport have a method for weapons attack,or is it just a sport with rules,the reality of defence is to train and train ,until it becomes you ,not trawling the web
@zookaduka You're exactly right. I'm a student of aikido and it is not until you're actually there that you see what is really happening. It's not Hollywood choreography with flashy effects... it's art... martial art! Well said!

Aikido can work. It just cannot be the only tool in your kit. Die hard single discipline practitioners make the mistake and have done so for decades, hence the rise of PITT, Cage, K1, and eventually UFC and modern MMA. Aikido has its place and it's important but the bushido umbrella is so big now. Osu.
In all fairness, you can say the same about Karate or MMA demonstrations. A demonstration is just that -- ad monstration. If you want to see fights, go somewhere else.
Many say this is not aikido. But what is aikido? Who knows? I do not know the answer, but every day I ask myself the question. I see a legacy: irimi and atemi It would not be aikido?
In one part you both have your hands in a boxing position, and who i think is the Tori attacks? What stops the uke to just do ikyo when you grab his wrist?
Thanks for the video, this ones quite interesting to consider, and as for the kick I was taught that it was something to be aware of when performing a technique as it can prove to be an immediate counter if body positioning is wrong whilst using irimi so well included as it reminded me ^^
The thing i hate about demonstrations is that they don't show the resistance.... I really wish i could find a video where i could see aikido in a real fight
@Mrdevandude he conocido varios casos reales de asaltos donde las victimas casi matan al perpetrador.

@Mrdevandude Yeah that will never happen. If people punched like this I could kick hmmmm let's see, Anderson Silva's ass, Matt Hughes with ease, John Bones Jones, Tito Ortiz and Brock Lesnar's too.....Aikido isn't meant for tough realistic fights. It will never be a man's sport that's for sure. None of these moves will work with the speed that people actually punch, retreat( pull back ) move around so not to get hit. The problem with Aikido and I have taken it for yrs is that it's hype.

Aikido at least teaches how to become a better human being and gives one character. Most MMA fanboys on the other hand...LOL
@BFerreira82 - You're assuming that the BJJ practitioner doesn't know any better and that he does not have the skills to throw his opponent head first into concrete. Pulling guard on the street is useless agreed, but it is a last resort if you find yourself on the ground somehow. There are varying levels of guard positions to protect against groin strikes and joint breaking techniques that take a second to execute.
@BFerreira82 - From an MMA practitioners point of view, our method of training continues to evolve where traditional martial arts follow a strict doctrine.

@Mrdevandude You won't find it with Aikido... You should train how you want to react and you react how you train. How can you know if a technique would be effective or not if it's not practiced realistically?!?
@Mrdevandude If you try to resist, you 'll be seriously injured. In fact, there are contra- techniques, but you must be very skillfull aikidoka to use them.
@Mrdevandude , a real aikido move would easily broke an arm. It is a no rules martial arts, created to fight a sword in combat. It cannot be shared without big damages. The rules make martial arts "competitive", while aikido could never be. Agreed?
@Mrdevandude It is because aikido is self defense and have a strong background on pacifism. The philosofy on that martial art is to NOT HARM the opponent, even if it is a bad guy on bad will. If you see anyone HARMING another, it could be anything but NOT aikido
This is SHIT! All these techniques are unapplicable in a real situation. Tori can use these technique only because uke is totaly collaborative and does not make any opposition. The only applicable is the last front kick but not executed in this wrong way.
@Matamune87 aikido is fake, and you ar true he is just pushing the uke with the foot not kicking him, he dont know even how to kick, this is simple a bullshit.
In fact, that was a believable kick, Maybe you think the Karate snap kick is the only one? Not so. This kind of push kick you see a lot, e.g. in Muai Thai. You want to diss that too as "fake"?

But i made it because there were bullying. I was almost fired out from tami , but once One had a respiratory arrest, almost died., the master avoided to see it.
@99XM Sorry for doubting about your experience. Just to let you know, I am a former judoka. Since I can remember, I practiced judo. Now, after ten years of no activity, I got back but this time with Aikido. It's a great martial art, and based on your experience, you should try it before saying anything against it. Oss.
@aherrns AIKIDO IS GOOD, YES, AND MAY WORK IN SOME PUSSY GUYS, BUT I WOULD TRUST IN IT AGAINS A PROFESSIONAL OR GOOD FIGHTER, TAKE CARE, ONE DAY YOU CAN DISCOVER THE PAINFULL TRUTH.
@99XM HOHO!! Gimme a break. If you have such an experience as you are boasting here, you'd know that the definition of a fight also depends on the fighter, not only on his/her martial art. If a MMA fighter runs into a good aikidoka he may finish in a never ending tenkan.
Ich mache jetzt seit 8 Monaten AIkido , und ich muss sagen : Ich kann froh sein wenn ich irgendwann auch einmal so eine Präzision habe ! Wirklich ein sehr tolles Video !
Yea, I remember in the founder's writings, how he said so many times, that once you get through all the airy fairy techniques we teach you... finally we'll teach you the real stuff (at 4th dan or so)... and then you can look cool in silly videos like all the karate folks... only you'll have the advantage of wearing a skirt.
this is the kind of aikido i ve been taught..hit thw guy before u apply the techinnique so it can be more effective..people who doesnt know aikido thinks is gay or fake,around the world aikido is taught in the army forces,so i dont think is usa army is gay,i dont think fidel castro's personal bodyguard re gays...youtube is full of stupid kids that watch to much jet li's movies
When you will receive a real atemi, i think that your techniques will be totaly usefull. You have bad placement and uke can't give real atemi. Be really carefull if you need to use it in real life.
@marshallprince yes and no. Aikido, by pure definition, is "the way (do) of harmony (ai) and spirit (ki)." Thus, anything that requires harmony and energy, like breathing, is aikido. Thus, this video is titled with aikido because it requires both harmonizing with your opponent's attack and it requires energy control.
Unextended arms have their advantages and disadvantages. The mechanics gets complex. But I think that a street fighter would adopt a boxing stance, which is a different story.
This should be titled self defense and not aikido. Aikido is what is done on the mat while self defense is much more aggressive. Also, there is no extension in the atemi here. If one were facing a street fighter, unextended arms like that would give an opponent ample opportunity to reach you.
@Ryokushindo I disagree about being too close to Karate or Ju Jutsu, not because of the techniques used by the Sensei on the vid (which has elements in common with Karate, Ju Jutsu and even a lot of Wushu forms) but because Aikido in fact has no techniques. The Founder said that Aikido is an approach on life, but not a form or a technique. If you practise and develop techniques to improve your Aikido, as long as they fulfill Aikido's concepts have to be laveled as Aikido, as this vid shows us.
loved the video. it shows a more combat oriented aikido aproch and it reveals that whith aikido when you want to bring the pain you can. sorry for my spelling
For all who think aikido is strictly self defence, you're expertly wrong. If anything, when you hit around 4th dann, aikido becomes at least 99.9 perfect atemi in a real situation... two things, my aikido teacher told me aikido is all about speed and if they get held down, they can't do much (Iwama ryu practicioner) Also, are you doing the kick as a part of aikido, or, is it someone attacking you?
@Aikidostenudd Hmm. Possible being the main word. The thing with almost every kick, is they're too slow. Even if you manage to get your kick as fast as your punch (which is quite hard) They'll probally still manage to stop you, and since you're on one foot, they can easily knock you over/launch you off it. Kicking is a very weak, slow movement, which is why you don't see it in aikido hardly ever. I highly doubt using kicks to be honest... Now sacrifice throws, that's cool. ^_^
@MeowMixMadness, I've seen kicks that are very fast indeed. It should not be excluded. Rather, it's a question of opportunity and timing. In aikido, we relate to somebody already attacking, which leaves openings that can be dealt with in all kinds of ways.
But I agree - sacrifice throws are definitely also cool :)
It is funny, the reverse is true with karate. As you get higher, and grappling throwing or tuite becomes far more prevalent then the striking aspects of the art. It is funny how the more one develops in knowledge, the more similar the "different" arts become.
I was in a 3rd kyu ranking when i involved in a car accident few years ago.That guy walked out swearing at me & point a finger right up my face.I used only 2 techniques, that was iriminage & tenchinage.Few of the bystanders stop the fight when i was in the middle of doing tenchinage to him.He got bruises & cut on his face(i do not know how & when he got that), it happens to fast but i'm sure he didn't even touch me! In a real fight, with Aikido, I experienced it!
Aikido is a martial art of self defense.What u learn in dojo is a variations of this art.U might not use everthing that u learned on the street.Few of this basic techniques r very useful but to master & understand it u need to learn variations of techniques(with patience) in this art & it takes 4-5 years to really used it on the street when it is needed.Whatever negative comments about it, i'm sure aikidoka will learn these:1)caution 2)distance 3)reflex 4)speed 5) stability & 6)timing.
In a actual confrontation atemi may be necessary, Aikidoka that ignore this, or do not have any training in striking are likely to be surprised when the rubber meets the road.
Few of us have the time or ability to attain a level where atemi can be eliminated from our execution.
@ToumasuKun Interesting question. From my point of view, it looks like this technique is good for a punch counter, or if he has his lead hand extended too far. It may also be a good go-to move if you grab his wrist and try pushing (for let's say a figured 4/Americana takedown) and he resists successfully. Just an observation.
@ToumasuKun, I actually don't pull him to me, but to my side, into the throwing technique iriminage. Apart from that, I agree with you that every selfish action has its drawbacks and risks.
@ToumasuKun You shouldn't pull at all...but get off the line and step around the attack. There are instances of opportunity to add energy but anytime you "do" something to the person the rate of success goes down.
@Nagarpo, I belong to Aikikai, but I wouldn't say that what I show on this particular video clip is basic Aikikai. Actually, Aikikai is an organization, and not really a style. Within Aikikai you can see very different ways of doing aikido.
And what is aikido? Rather then a system of some techniques, aikido is some kind of principles, learning how to control a space around you, learning how to find a weak position in an attacker´s motion. And atemi is a huge part of aikido. It doesn´t mean you have to break somebody´s nose, does it? In the early days of aikido atemi were used much more than nowadays. That´s why aikido´s said to have no end. Aikido is principles with a help of techniques application.
Hey guys I know what Atemi means and what an Atemi is use for. But in Aikido the aim is to armonize with the energy of the attack, so the Tori/Nage will immobilize the Uke using the force of the attack by stablishing a correct balance, timing and maai.
So breaking noses, ribs, genitals and etc, can look cool but it´s not Aikido.
What has aim to armonize? You? Your school? Or the Oomoto crap?
If you want to apply aiki in combat situation you have to cut round corner. If you can not apply what you trained for in combat then it is no Budo. Training like they do, in this video, is a good way to remember what are the applications. It is good Budo. It is Aikido.
Also if a attacker is truly violent, a atemi to the groin is a good way to armonize him.
Ueshiba said himself that Aikido is nothing without atemi.
I know it is fashionable in some aikido circles to make aikido into something else, but that is not aikido, at least not as taught by the founder.
Ueshiba stated that in a real fight it is 70% atemi and 30% other waza. If all you are focussing on is the 30% other waza, then when you need atemi, you will fail.
Either you try to understand all aspects of budo or you are only practicing a dance.
@Iaazathoth I totally agree..most people dont want to see or practice this part in Aikido.. because (they think) that this has nothing to do with harmonizing and does not fit in their view and knowledge of the art of non violence. A pacifist is not really a pacifist if he is unable to make a choice between violence and non-violence.
@Iaazathoth I think a great dancer would be just as safe as an aikidoka if he/she got jumped and just started dancing. I've seen many white belts with a history in dance do awesome randori/jiyuwaza.
Bcrz this is aikido, most europian school have use the atemi wasa , just american federation don't wnt to accept it. Bcz aikido and brutality ... don't mach. Such a BS.
@IamXrayy prove it! go ahead, provide me with legit government articles that prove this information. Aikido is a very beautiful art but I don't think its very effective.
@IamXrayy Going further, a very tough UK professional soldiers group, Nepalese Gurkhas Infantry, are trained in MMA, Kick Boxing, Krav Maga, Kali and Aikido, the latter specially for knives combat and bayonet fighting, using the old techniques O Sensei Ueshiba developed on bayonet combat due to his mastering on So Jutsu and Bo Jutsu, later developed and added by Morihiro Saito into his regular teachings of Aikiken. All serious security staff worldwide, use a lot of typical Aikido techniques.
Love this video. Totally shows the hard alternatives to all the softer techniques which are emphasized in most Aikido dojo. Every soft technique has its hard alternative. I think alot of people forget that Aikido comes out of 5 different forms of Jujutsu (Diato Ryu being the heaviest influence of course) and also Kenjutsu and Sojutsu. Aikido has so many techniques in its entirity that no 2 masters teach it and perform it quite the same.
I think this comment from poopedinyourmouth a few months ago is essentially correct. To say this is not proper or is incorrect Aikido is one that can only be made by either a newer or very arrogant Aikido student. To question the techniques of these two obviously senior Aikidoka is to clearly not understand the subject. The unique esthetic that is Aikido is a big tent and has many interpretations. And believe it when I tell you , go and practice at hombu dojo you Will take an ass kickin
I can't agree completely - I personally don't like the way the atemi is used here. I practise both; karate do and aikido and i don't like the mixture of it. Tsuki or Geri in karate means to destroy the point you are taking, atemi in aikido should be more like controlling your oponents seika tandem - it's similar but not the same. I just dont like aikido which uses a bit of karate - its not necessary, every art is sufficient for itself (hope my english is correct...)
I would not ask you to agree completely. As I said, Aikido is a big tent. You see them as separate subjects, but if you practiced in a Tomiki or a YoshinKan Aikido school( or sum others) you would find there is NO Separation of Atemi and what has become the popular modern Aikido. I have moved past heavy strikes in my Aikido practice also but what these teachers are showing is a good and even Fun part of a quality Aiki Practice.
¿por qué no habrá competencias de aikido? (temen que quede expuesto su eficacia o falta de ella acaso) por ahi...

And i had a japanese master, now he is in usa, he trianed people or olimpics, he was a kamikaze.Maybe you wanna to taste some frome it. He got mad with me, because i injuried some stupid guys. But i made it because there were bullying. I was almost fired out from tami , but once One had a respiratory arrest, almost died., the master avoided to see it.

@99XM Sorry for doubting about your experience. Just to let you know, I am a former judoka. Since I can remember, I practiced judo. Now, after ten years of no activity, I got back but this time with Aikido. It's a great martial art, and based on your experience, you should try it before saying anything against it. Oss.

@99XM HOHO!! Gimme a break. If you have such an experience as you are boasting here, you'd know that the definition of a fight also depends on the fighter, not only on his/her martial art. If a MMA fighter runs into a good aikidoka he may finish in a never ending tenkan.

Yea, I remember in the founder's writings, how he said so many times, that once you get through all the airy fairy techniques we teach you... finally we'll teach you the real stuff (at 4th dan or so)... and then you can look cool in silly videos like all the karate folks... only you'll have the advantage of wearing a skirt.

When you will receive a real atemi, i think that your techniques will be totaly usefull. You have bad placement and uke can't give real atemi. Be really carefull if you need to use it in real life.
Sdl60 1 year ago
@marshallprince yes and no. Aikido, by pure definition, is "the way (do) of harmony (ai) and spirit (ki)." Thus, anything that requires harmony and energy, like breathing, is aikido. Thus, this video is titled with aikido because it requires both harmonizing with your opponent's attack and it requires energy control.
Unextended arms have their advantages and disadvantages. The mechanics gets complex. But I think that a street fighter would adopt a boxing stance, which is a different story.
Draugmoth 1 year ago
This should be titled self defense and not aikido. Aikido is what is done on the mat while self defense is much more aggressive. Also, there is no extension in the atemi here. If one were facing a street fighter, unextended arms like that would give an opponent ample opportunity to reach you.

Ryokushindo 1 year ago
@Ryokushindo I disagree about being too close to Karate or Ju Jutsu, not because of the techniques used by the Sensei on the vid (which has elements in common with Karate, Ju Jutsu and even a lot of Wushu forms) but because Aikido in fact has no techniques. The Founder said that Aikido is an approach on life, but not a form or a technique. If you practise and develop techniques to improve your Aikido, as long as they fulfill Aikido's concepts have to be laveled as Aikido, as this vid shows us.

moe2744 1 year ago
For all who think aikido is strictly self defence, you're expertly wrong. If anything, when you hit around 4th dann, aikido becomes at least 99.9 perfect atemi in a real situation... two things, my aikido teacher told me aikido is all about speed and if they get held down, they can't do much (Iwama ryu practicioner) Also, are you doing the kick as a part of aikido, or, is it someone attacking you?
MeowMixMadness 1 year ago
@MeowMixMadness, I regard kicks as possible "atemi" too.
Aikidostenudd 1 year ago
@Aikidostenudd Hmm. Possible being the main word. The thing with almost every kick, is they're too slow. Even if you manage to get your kick as fast as your punch (which is quite hard) They'll probally still manage to stop you, and since you're on one foot, they can easily knock you over/launch you off it. Kicking is a very weak, slow movement, which is why you don't see it in aikido hardly ever. I highly doubt using kicks to be honest... Now sacrifice throws, that's cool. ^_^
MeowMixMadness 1 year ago
@MeowMixMadness, I've seen kicks that are very fast indeed. It should not be excluded. Rather, it's a question of opportunity and timing. In aikido, we relate to somebody already attacking, which leaves openings that can be dealt with in all kinds of ways.
But I agree - sacrifice throws are definitely also cool :)

It is funny, the reverse is true with karate. As you get higher, and grappling throwing or tuite becomes far more prevalent then the striking aspects of the art. It is funny how the more one develops in knowledge, the more similar the "different" arts become.

I was in a 3rd kyu ranking when i involved in a car accident few years ago.That guy walked out swearing at me & point a finger right up my face.I used only 2 techniques, that was iriminage & tenchinage.Few of the bystanders stop the fight when i was in the middle of doing tenchinage to him.He got bruises & cut on his face(i do not know how & when he got that), it happens to fast but i'm sure he didn't even touch me! In a real fight, with Aikido, I experienced it!

Aikido is a martial art of self defense.What u learn in dojo is a variations of this art.U might not use everthing that u learned on the street.Few of this basic techniques r very useful but to master & understand it u need to learn variations of techniques(with patience) in this art & it takes 4-5 years to really used it on the street when it is needed.Whatever negative comments about it, i'm sure aikidoka will learn these:1)caution 2)distance 3)reflex 4)speed 5) stability & 6)timing.

In a actual confrontation atemi may be necessary, Aikidoka that ignore this, or do not have any training in striking are likely to be surprised when the rubber meets the road.
Few of us have the time or ability to attain a level where atemi can be eliminated from our execution.

at 1:03 you grab his wrist and pull him towards you, am i right? doesnt that make it easy to counter? every selfish action you take is dangerous no?
ToumasuKun 1 year ago
@ToumasuKun Interesting question. From my point of view, it looks like this technique is good for a punch counter, or if he has his lead hand extended too far. It may also be a good go-to move if you grab his wrist and try pushing (for let's say a figured 4/Americana takedown) and he resists successfully. Just an observation.
ehukai2003 1 year ago
@ToumasuKun, I actually don't pull him to me, but to my side, into the throwing technique iriminage. Apart from that, I agree with you that every selfish action has its drawbacks and risks.
Aikidostenudd 1 year ago 4
@ToumasuKun You shouldn't pull at all...but get off the line and step around the attack. There are instances of opportunity to add energy but anytime you "do" something to the person the rate of success goes down.

And what is aikido? Rather then a system of some techniques, aikido is some kind of principles, learning how to control a space around you, learning how to find a weak position in an attacker´s motion. And atemi is a huge part of aikido. It doesn´t mean you have to break somebody´s nose, does it? In the early days of aikido atemi were used much more than nowadays. That´s why aikido´s said to have no end. Aikido is principles with a help of techniques application.
unikad 2 years ago
Hey guys I know what Atemi means and what an Atemi is use for. But in Aikido the aim is to armonize with the energy of the attack, so the Tori/Nage will immobilize the Uke using the force of the attack by stablishing a correct balance, timing and maai.
So breaking noses, ribs, genitals and etc, can look cool but it´s not Aikido.
estepuertoexiste 2 years ago
What has aim to armonize? You? Your school? Or the Oomoto crap?
If you want to apply aiki in combat situation you have to cut round corner. If you can not apply what you trained for in combat then it is no Budo. Training like they do, in this video, is a good way to remember what are the applications. It is good Budo. It is Aikido.
Also if a attacker is truly violent, a atemi to the groin is a good way to armonize him.
tubetubetube 2 years ago 2
Ueshiba said himself that Aikido is nothing without atemi.
I know it is fashionable in some aikido circles to make aikido into something else, but that is not aikido, at least not as taught by the founder.
Ueshiba stated that in a real fight it is 70% atemi and 30% other waza. If all you are focussing on is the 30% other waza, then when you need atemi, you will fail.
Either you try to understand all aspects of budo or you are only practicing a dance.
Iaazathoth 2 years ago
@Iaazathoth I totally agree..most people dont want to see or practice this part in Aikido.. because (they think) that this has nothing to do with harmonizing and does not fit in their view and knowledge of the art of non violence. A pacifist is not really a pacifist if he is unable to make a choice between violence and non-violence.

All serious security staff worldwide, use a lot of typical Aikido techniques.

Love this video. Totally shows the hard alternatives to all the softer techniques which are emphasized in most Aikido dojo. Every soft technique has its hard alternative. I think alot of people forget that Aikido comes out of 5 different forms of Jujutsu (Diato Ryu being the heaviest influence of course) and also Kenjutsu and Sojutsu. Aikido has so many techniques in its entirity that no 2 masters teach it and perform it quite the same.
PARR53 2 years ago
I think this comment from poopedinyourmouth a few months ago is essentially correct. To say this is not proper or is incorrect Aikido is one that can only be made by either a newer or very arrogant Aikido student. To question the techniques of these two obviously senior Aikidoka is to clearly not understand the subject. The unique esthetic that is Aikido is a big tent and has many interpretations. And believe it when I tell you , go and practice at hombu dojo you Will take an ass kickin
ReiMonCoH 2 years ago
I can't agree completely - I personally don't like the way the atemi is used here. I practise both; karate do and aikido and i don't like the mixture of it. Tsuki or Geri in karate means to destroy the point you are taking, atemi in aikido should be more like controlling your oponents seika tandem - it's similar but not the same. I just dont like aikido which uses a bit of karate - its not necessary, every art is sufficient for itself (hope my english is correct...)
nullstab 2 years ago
I would not ask you to agree completely. As I said, Aikido is a big tent. You see them as separate subjects, but if you practiced in a Tomiki or a YoshinKan Aikido school( or sum others) you would find there is NO Separation of Atemi and what has become the popular modern Aikido. I have moved past heavy strikes in my Aikido practice also but what these teachers are showing is a good and even Fun part of a quality Aiki Practice.
