Aikido, is a product of the Samurai .

[ThomasWinkworth]

They must of been smoking some hard Chinese purple haze when they made this martial art

[shihandtshell]

Aikido is like all arts a piece of a puzzle. This one is great to learn and will last you into your senior years. Has far has he could of been caught with a fake. Shows that you have no understanding of what it's all about. However I hope that you will take the time to look into one of these classical arts.

[ArukiI]

Beautiful - Thanks for sharing.

афигеная вещь айкидо 

great thing Aikido

[JeffreyJamesLippold]

Nice video, looks like they have good concept on positioning. However, the sensei could have been caught with a fake overhead to sweeping leg strike. Just an observation.

[Mindwerkz]

I'll tell you the same thing the Hakamakai tell me when I point out such things: While concepts from Aikido can compliment fighting arts splendidly, Aikido itself isn't about fighting. It's about peeling away the layers of yourself like an onion until you find your true center.

[JeffreyJamesLippold]

Aww...true, but if you aren't careful someone else will find your center with the monuchi!

[comedyjohne]

@Mindwerkz. hi there is aikido a popular art in the uk ? would u rate it as a good form of self defense if not which art is best ? look forward to ur reply thanks john.

[iamdragonborn]

@comedyjohne In Aikido, one learns by experiencing through the body. This alone would only result into physical experience, even after ten years of practice. If one continues practicing for many years, of course, the body becomes strong. However, the level of understanding can still be doubtful.

Everything is learned physically as a result of experience, but to display what has been learned, some verbal expression and other methods become necessary.

[chidoriios]

@Mindwerkz Oh, you Aikido folk think you're all that huh? you think you're sooooo superior to us other humans with your self-interpertation of being onions, well. tell you what son of a bitch. i aint gonna stand around here while you aikido people think youre so damn cool.

[Whysomeonegotmynick]

no, it does...

[Whysomeonegotmynick]

preety cool demonstration.

[candyisbetternyou]

too bad it doesnt work in real life.

[tornermentlololol]

yeah lol i thing they do some hand to hand but your right lol no one in briton is gona come running up to you with a fucking samri sword

[mcul2112]

no, but they are gonna come running up to you, and am pretty sure these guys know what do to....whether you or they got a sword or not, know?

[tornermentlololol]

lol no there not were did that come from???

but no ones gona attack you with a sword

[tgnrogue]

Doesnt have to be a sword, can be abit of scafflding, table leg, random tree breach, baseball bat, It could be anything really.

And on another note youd be surprised, most drug dealers in the uk were found to have had cheap nasty, but still dangerous wall hanger swords under their beds, so if you a cop then Yes they might. Plus in the town where I went to college, there is a polcie fficer walking aroudn with a scar on hsi face from one such cheap nasty wallhanger.

[tornermentlololol]

coz your just gona happan to be carrying a sword around with you to stop him lololololol

[tgnrogue]

As i said it doesnt have to be a sword. It can be anything at all, a broom handle, mop, basball bat, poole cue, bit of tree branch, christ even an umbrella would do in a pinch. Plus you woldnt neccesariyl have to do the "sword to sword" section youd do the disarms instead.

[tornermentlololol]

ill just wip out my mop then

[Mindwerkz]

Pretty much if not all open hand aikido moves are variations on the moves employed with swords, staffs and sticks. In fact it's quite common to see aikidokai practicing situations in which only the attacker has a weapon. I just wish it was a little bit more about practicality than self-discovery. It does however translate to and nicely complement other disciplines. It could improve a boxer's parry and footwork, a judokai's throw or a kung fu dude's grasping hand forms.

[candyisbetternyou]

lets keep it real guys. this is a terrible martial arts in terms of effectiveness.

[jeffaikido]

Weapons practice in aikido are only for learning body positioning similar to kata in other martial arts. The sword is only used to emphasize the direction of the attack, allowing the defended a better sense of where not to be and where "uke's" energy is going.  Visit an aikido dojo, you might view it in a new way

[na6drifter]

and what makes you think that?

[tasrocket]

DUDE its all about method and technique

No one sid things are fool proof but practice can pay off, god knows Guns kill more ppl than martial arts

[Grappler1911]

@tasrocket Gun fighting is a martial art Teppo Jutsu.If you think I've fired hundreds of thousands of rounds practicing drills and skills for my health or to peel my inner onion revealing inner peace and unicorns you'd be wrong.I practice with firearms,empty hands and weapons to improve my war skills "Martial/war Skill/art".

This is a good video of men that can fight.Less posing,more skill and less sanctimonious attitude in older Japanese clips than modern American JSA.

[JeffreyJamesLippold]

not where I come from, I get attacked all the time with that thing.

[jameledd]

Any martial art training serve to increase our reflex, and fighting instinct. But we must practice seriously, honestly ! that's the way to perfect technics and that's very hard to do !!

[misteriusA]

i'm learning this too

[LambdaDrS]

i like aikido, but i rather jujitsu

[Jujutsuka4LIfe]

After you train and move in jujitsu a while they start to look the same. My jujitsu teacher's movements look very similar.

[diztorcion666]

nice i got a question on the description of the video u said Homma Kancho continues to teach at his Nippon-Kan Dojo isn't nippon some style different from aikido i hink a style of ninjitsu

[umlud]

"Nippon-Kan" is the name of the organization; it literally translates from Japanese to English as "Japan[ese] House". Homma Sensei's style of Aikido (and it IS aikido) is different from Hombu style in that you learn weapons techniques and open-hand techniques right from the beginning of training. In addition, the training tends to be more "physical" than the more flowy type characteristic of more of the Hombu schools.

[diztorcion666]

ok then my father use to practice hamma style cause they use to fight with sowrds and apiers plus everything is so flow and easy going

[Mindwerkz]

Oh Nippon-Kan Aikido is still all flowy and stuff. They just don't pretend to throw eachother without touching and shit. And OMG the swordplay. =O Nippon-Kan with weapons is badass. And There's no ninjitsu in it, but there is some taido.

[1ToNJaB]

What is the 1st basic technique usually taught to a total beginner in this martial art. ?

[sponpulica]

The first basic technique is ikkyo, but when I entered dojo my sensei gave me nikkyo.That's the 2nd basic technique, but it is simplier than ikkyo. Of course there are some variations of nikkyo that ara very hard to learn. Nikkyo and ikkyo are similar.

[Mindwerkz]

Basically speaking, they start by teaching you how to take a fall and a basic wrist lock that can go into a throw. At Nippon-Kan you attend a multi-week beginner course that gives you a good sampling of basic techniques.

[duchessofpercy]

@1ToNJaB Walking... then falling. I am not being a jerk here. In all seriousness, we work on how to walk on balance all the time.. The next thing we learn is how to fall without geting hurt. When you watch an Aikido demonstration it often looks fake. That is due to the uke (the fall guy) knowning how to fall without crashing to the mat and getting injured, and in doing so it looks like they are jumping into the throw. I suppose they are in a way. Yet if they did not SERIOUS injury would ensue

[ajraab82]

@1ToNJaB katate dori ikkyo

[rollingbrick]

No insult intended, but to call someone "Grand Master" is inappropriate terminology for Aikido. The correct term would be Shihan.

[Mindwerkz]

Yeah I know, but more people recognize the Grand Master term so that's what I went with. I'll make a note.

[Runescaper904614]

"Grand Master" is the founder of any aikido styles =P

[OldAikiDog]

First: "grandmaster" is an American term, most often used in relation to Chinese styles or used by those who do not know the proper Japanese names for sensei, shihan, dojo-cho, etc.

Second: Saito-Sensei is not the founder of a style of Aikido and so in any case it would be inappropriate to refer to him as such.

[aikidoamsterdam]

SHIHAN means teacher of teachers

SOKE means Grandmaster

DOSHU means master of the way

But anyway, I really enjoy these black and white movies of Saito Sensei.

[cutthecameras]

no joke
