Kick Defenses: Intermediate Aikido Techniques : Kubishime against a Spinning Back Kick: Intermediate Aikido Techniques

[DrMadolite]

I think people need to stop assuming so much things and actually try out things in actuality. Like this technique here - the Sensei is obviously not trying to do the techinique in the most effective way, because if he did, then nobody would be able to see what he was doing because he'd be too fast.

This is a demonstration, and very few techniques are universally useful. Like, if you're too short and/or the opponent is too tall, what then? You gonna try to jump up?

[sanddocon]

ya really easy when u know what he will do b4 he does it

[alberto211393]

@sanddocon when you yourself know how to kick you know what he will do half a second he does. (he needs to position his front foot before the spinning kick for example)

[Gman6755]

Note to self: Don't ever try to kick that guy!!

[FearThisChannel]

Never consult expertvillage if you want good instruction or good Sensei's.

[majaimay]

here's the thing every time I've seen these aikido strike defense videos the striker is an aikido guy whose' punching or kicking technique is absolute crap, not saying the counter techniques wouldn't work but anyone could pull it off it they were being attacked that sloppily

[bengir1969]

no choke in real aikido, this is amerian aikido

[Junjokar]

@bengir1969 Are you positive on that? 'Cause my sensei learned from a direct disciple of Yamada Sensei and I thought he was Japanese.

[FearThisChannel]

@bengir1969 There is no "real Aikido". Every person has its own idea of Aikido so they create a new school with a new way.

Just try to compare Yoshinkan with Aikikai and Tomiki. For instance I train in Aiki Budo which places more emphasis on striking.

[Bigant55]

try it on Dennis Siver or Cung Le and see if it works do that and I'll be impressed until then it's just food for thought. What alot of Aikido people need to consider is I'm not just going to spin outta nowhere I'm going to set it up with a leg kick, punches, or even a shove.

[Pinoymak]

@Kwonstompa you got it wrong dude. this is just showing how the technique is done 1:the attacker is slow because its not a real fight or sparring and it will explain the technique in more details so the person learning this would understand. 2:nope its not magical.3:it could be fatal if he were doing the real thing on you trust me he would put up a lot of force in elbowing you in chest and could break your ribs since its a vital area

[Pinoymak]

@molomix23 its called a hakama designed to hide the movements of your legs so its not predictable and they are just showing how to beat the said technique

[mack93936]

real aikido

[lopezrodriquez]

useless

[kintle182]

@molomix23 what makes it even worse, if he was smart, he could just end it with a rear choke or trip and immediate side control. Aikido is so useless it's ridiculous.

[jeffsor47]

@kintle182 Why don't you go up against a good Aikdo practioner and see how "useless" Aikido is instead of running your mouth. You probably got overly confident in your "modern dance" class and thought if you could dance on your toes you could also be a martial artist too....didn't you? and I'm not so sure you'd want to give up your tights for a gi anyway.....are you?

[kintle182]

@jeffsor47 I'm sure. I've done MMA for years, and aikido is a joke among many, if not all, martial artist.

[enzosan84]

@kintle182 Yeah, because standing chokes are sooooo useless, especially when you can go to the ground and have any random passerby kick your head in...

[kigwa44]

@Kwonstompa it was for demo's sake!

[kigwa44]

the good fighters do not anticipate the attack but rather wait and act faster than the attack.

[BladeKempMusic]

@kigwa44 mmm nope, good fighters know what attack is coming - you choose which ones better, its commonsense

[DaroZuo]

i am so going to train that

[DraskenDarkstar]

I've used a technique like this before. The point that people miss is that this is a demonstration. You can't expect this technique to work against every kick. But I HAVE used a similar technique against someone that was well trained in TKD. Only because there was a small opening. But if you mess up and take a kick to the torso, its bad news. However yes, the technique can and does work in certain situations. Even against a trained kicker.

[blacktarherione]

who throw a spinning bac kick in a street fight

[kigwa44]

anyone, of course! even the lame if he wants to. LOL

[anmerpozzobon]

TKD comments logic:

Making your foot reach another peoples face is fast and the most effective way of fighting.

Dodging with a single short step is slow and somehow "magic" and impossible

Yeah.. ok.

[DaBhaalspawn]

@anmerpozzobon

While I don't think the foot to the head thing is the way to fight most effectively, he does have a point.

The only reason this guy is able to get in position to put his opponent on a lock, is because the kick is being thrown slow and just plain sloppy.

Besides, no one starts the fight with a spinning back kick, there's something you call "setting it up".

[kapoof2]

@anmerpozzobon id just as soon kick someone in the face as id punch someone in the foot

[644524]

If a real Taekwondoka kicks at full speed than forget it, because the action is so much faster than the reaction that it's impossible to do this move.

But it looks cool to train, that's okay.

[shuratobrc]

@644524 in that case, reaction has nothing to do with speed. Speed is one of the last factors that should be taken in account. As a matter of fact, some people learn to see things in slow motion when fighting.

[volikoto]

@644524 nooo.... the moment you see the opponent turning you should quickly follow the flow of the back.... thats how it made it quick...

[moos14]

he wouldnt even get hit if he didnt move..thats just so ridiculous..

[gooftroopguitar]

im an aikido student myself this is one of my favorites

[SandmanJAAE]

good for when you know exactly what the other guy's gonna do.. this is not real

[danielxdglaciuus]

@SandmanJAAE of course.but if will keep practicing,you know what to do.

[sapphirenacrystal]

i agree...this can't work...i've tried it..

[HomunculusProject]

I think the distance is a bit off. I'm gonna try this out at the next training though.

You probably have to take care of the kick itself first before closing in, depending on the distance...Interesting attack.

Spinning back kicks are one of the most risky kicks one can do. It is more designed for opponents with longer range (weapons f.i.).

[ChrisKsan]

This stuff does work, if you have some kombat training or good eyes... I like the last part though, nicely avoiding the lethal solution:) That would apply in competition or in most street conflicts. However you can always choke him until he blacks out or in a life or death situation if you don't have much of a choice (especially in war), you just follow through and brake his neck:) Martial arts, ever so fascinating:)

[nestletha]

This won't work. What a joke. Really easy when the other guy is missing with the spin kick by a freaking mile. No one listen to this crap.

[HomunculusProject]

@nestletha Look carefully at the taisabaki.

[Manny1222]

Keep your hands up!

[blackbelt807]

i want to practise aikidobut i allready praktise taekwondo =(=

[sapphirenacrystal]

@blackbelt807

you can do both...:0 i'm doing it

[blackbelt807]

@sapphirenacrystal really? itf or wtf?

[blackbelt807]

@sapphirenacrystal k itf or wtf?

[sapphirenacrystal]

@blackbelt807 wtf...

[sapphirenacrystal]

wtf

[blackbelt807]

@sapphirenacrystal k i praktise itf how is wtf?

[sapphirenacrystal]

@blackbelt807 WTF? it's great..though i haven't tried practicing ITF...Try WTF, it's also good..and i think it won't be hard for you to try it since you already have ITF..:) Although, you should get used to the armor because it makes a big difference when you're not wearing it during sparring.:)

[blackbelt807]

@sapphirenacrystal i havent spar yet im just 9 gupp

[sapphirenacrystal]

@blackbelt807 oh..you should soon..:)

[blackbelt807]

@sapphirenacrystal i hope that cuz thats why i started

[NexusDarkworld338]

I remember my sensei doing that, it fucking hurts

[spacecadet35]

Beside the fact that that is a spinning side kick and not a back kick (The toes are not vertical and downwards), it is a technique that is easier said than done. However if you can make it work, it would be very effective. The only question is, how often are people on the street attacked with a spinning side kick?

[necronwarrior]

One big problem in this vid is that the kicker is not actually kicking at the trainer. He is doing a sloppy, slow kick at some invisible target past the trainer. Aikido is supposed to the the gentle art, but there is nothing gentle about someone who wants to hurt you. They should train with someone who actually knows how to throw this kick so they can properly train to defend it. The technique seems valid so train it against a valid opponent, not a timid "kicker" that can't kick.

[TheCarnerogoons]

esto es buenisimo ojala lo puedan traducir al español para entender mas los fundamentos gracias

[kickpunchlove]

Who kicks like that??? I have great respect for Aikido, but as a BB in Karate, I've never seen anyone kick like this...

[necronwarrior]

@kickpunchlove I agree with you 100%. Aikido was my first traditional martial art and we trained just like this; against slow, sloppy, non threatening training partners that could not throw a proper punch or kick to save their lives. If you train like they do in this vid then you will not be able to do the technique against a truly able opponent. Aikido practitioners would do well to cross train with other martial arts, but tradition (which sucks) does not allow it.

[assassin0000]

@necronwarrior Yes, very true. My sensei (aikido) actually says the same thing;he encourages us to cross-train in other martial arts once we have reached a certain level of proficiency. A lot of the people in my class can't throw a proper yokomenuchi, or anything. It sucks not being able to have that extra stressor that would normally be present in a real fight. I train in a traditional dojo, which is awesome, (TINY class), but it would be great to have people who cross-trained.

[patrickwise06]

maybe im seeing this wrong and please correct me sir if i am. why would you strike at such an odd angle? in the aikido i did we would have kept out hand on and pulled him to the ground.

[isaeagle4031]

Having practiced and competed in taekwondo and having obtained my black belt in aikido, I can say with all confidence that the technquies shown here do work. Remember that what is shown here is the basics. it does take years to master aikido, but that is more about our attitude of always learning. I've taught numerous techniques that are useable from day one. Sensei, nice work as always

[dumisedodan]

It wuoldn't be so easy against a skilled kicker, because when a spinning back kick is performed, the attacker lowers his trunk.

[caveman10148]

I  could kick their asses

[Pavee1987]

who's gonna throw a spinning back kick in a street fight?

[picoaga]

@Pav

[Pavee1987]

@picoaga then i'll just use the useless akido moves the master just instructed...haha

[MartialValor]

lol is this supposed to work? aikido sucks.



[sonsofdon]

@MartialValor it works IF you have enough experience to go with irimi (entering the line of attack as the attack begins - as done here) over ura (where you step off the line and turn / blend with / take over the attack). wrong choice and you're experiencing this guy's foot with some torque behind it.

i think that what "works" is whatever gets you to react effectively and without hesitation in each and every moment of the event. boxing, jkd, bjj, aiki - whichever art feels right for that person.

[MartialValor]

@sonsofdon Yes well effectiveness has alot to do on how long it takes to pick up and use. Judo only takes a few months to us eon a fully resisting opponent. When aikido takes years, i once heard it takes 10 years. How is that effective? You get your ass kicked for 10 years then you use it? And in my opinion. it wont matter if you have 20 years experience, you get that close to me, either my fist or my elbow will find a home on your face. Or id take you down with judo and either pound or submit.

[NuchakuGroundFighter]

@MartialValor i dont come close to you attack me, and if you dont, its not a fight

[riveraluciano]

you know what's painful? nykkio on the ankle, my sesei asked us to throw a side kick to his face, when i did, he did nykkio on it, i'll never forget my face, my partners face (a mix of laugh and pain expression) and my sensei laughing his ass off explaining why people don't usually practice kick defense (because it's pretty much the same as other arm attacks)

[jackofallcharades]

have a muay thai or a san shou fighter come to your school and throw a kick at your sensei. =)

[ck066]

my cousin is fat

[PcGameHunter]

@ck066 XD

[tmtutube]

my cousin learned tae kwondo and I learned aikido

[fracturedfist]

@tmtutube i learned judo karate jiujitsu and some other japanese words

[badboyjeff031]

Oh ya,one of my instructors Jeramy Hill @ 130lbs. nailed a guy with a jump spinning back kick and broke his rib,though it was semi contact the guy was 210lbs.But few and far between have the speed and timing to apply it for real.

[thelifeuwant]

I just love Aikido ^^

havd a class in 39 min :D

[brenyboy26]

more argument on here as well *Sigh* just sad.

[SonicPAJ]

This looks more painful than more techniques.

[BillyLo1995]

Yes maybe nobody will try the back kick for a first kick because basically it's a defending kick ... but it can be as an attack if the attacker first give a roundhouse and then the back kick directly ... !

[badboyjeff031]

I agree that nobody on the street would attack you with a spinning back kick,but its good conceptually to practice a few times for the entry,though I subscribe to Pareto's Law,basically spend 80% of your time training the more important techniques the other 20% can be other stuff.Also I know of an Omaha cop that used a Jump Spinning back kick on a suspect and incapacitated him long enough for cuffing,He trained in modern ninjutsu(RBWI).

[VodkaRockPlay]

YOU WILL NEVER find someone in the street that gonna do spinning back kick... it's just stupid. (even in competitions people do it for the points)

Trained fighter knows only two kicks in a street fight - front kick, side kick... and if he can preform really quick moves so regular kick (to the side of the hip) are possible as well.

BUT NEVER spinning. Also, if you want the element of surprise and you are very skilled, you can preform two - three back kicks.

[actionmanrandell]

@VodkaRockPlay thats not always true if done properly a spining back kick can be effective and most fighters wouldnt know what to do if someone spun around really fast i had a teacher that was incredibly fast with his spining back kick so fast that you could barely see him spin

[VodkaRockPlay]

@actionmanrandell I'm talking about normal people pal XD I can imagine my master kill 7 people in 1 min' just with spin kick :P

Anyway the chances are that unless you really really master the spin, there are some other kicks you may want to focus on :)

I'm learning TKD TAEGEUK WTF, what are you learning?

[CrazeKillen]

this sensai here seemed extremely un proffesinal in his kamai.. prolly a newbie 1sr dan guy that wanted to show off for expervillage..

[moodyeye2003]

Who the hell throws a spinning back kick while standing up?

[rickygo4th]

@moodyeye2003 Tae Kwon Do practitioners.

[14jstorm]

@moodyeye2003 umm thats a karate kick

[ParkFight]

So you have a cousin who does an useless ma was taken down by the other who does another useless one... It isn't so strange

[jokergal5]

I have a cousin wu learn taekuendo and 1 wu learn aikido. The one wu learn takuendo tried to kick my other cousin and he just got slammed onto the ground and he was like OMG

[arkonastriborg123]

@jokergal5 they both suck

[shangrila107]

i would love to have this mother fucker in my dojo so i can show him how he's doin it wrong.

[jayteamlutha]

GEESE HOWARD LOL

[MrJudo15]

Another great video Sensei Gary! U got the best instructional videos on utube by Far!! Wheres ur school at? I wnt to join! Keep it up! We love u!!

[kastutan]

uuumm..if i grab it with the elbow and perform a choke...can i kneel down on one knee?

[neilorourke71]

has so much to do with timing

[mikefansed]

. so slow. spinning kick

[paraglide01]

I attended a krav maga training and i did 2 years of aikido training and in a real life scenario these guys totally owned me.

[nomeolbidet]

coulld be iriminage

[jgalade123]

whats ur name. (the sence)? i love watching ur videos u rock.i allwyas loved watchign akido but i never realy go to lern it on account tht theres no dogos to go to weer i liev but watchign u has heloed alot

[CaesarRex]

His name is Gary Boaz.

[anderson4931]

just a little correction, not once in this video do they demonstrate a spinning back kick, they do a spinning front ball kick then a spinning side kick

[berni2907]

Hi Great video. By the way Fjedja, Wing Chun and Aikido go together very well. I was looking for something to do alongside my WC which would help my WC. Aikido is it. As suggested by my Asian WC master, and knows many styles and is a fighter.

[zztopis]

He looks like Geese Howard From Snk.

[bushwhacker2k]

I think it's interesting that he focuses on the technique to take them down, rather than defending and avoiding the kick, which seems like it would be the most important thing.

Cool technique, but how many guys use spinning rear kicks in a fight?

[caseyjaystibbs]

His technique IS about avoiding the kick, he avoids it then moves into his takedown. And there are quite a few fighters who will practice this type of kick.

[cutjespik]

it does not matter how many guys are using a spinning back kick it is just a trick in case someone does aply a spinning back kick its just handy to know

[Nirophyte]

Most people I know would use a spinning rear kick - It's fast and effective if you know how to use it well. Because of the hip-turning spin motion, you get a lot of force and power into the kick.

[Fjedja]

wake up people! AIKIDO IS BULLSHIT !!!!! BEHOLD TO WT POWER !!

[r1ghtsaidfred]

i know one for sure.... chuck norris

[darkxanxus]

aikido is the best right or karate japan

[jaky222]

yes right!

[takedowned]

you're just trolling, this is no real argment

and i'm not really 39

[santino1288]

I got no experience in martial arts but this looks really...well fluently and effective.But my question is what would happen if,lets say a more offensiv muay thai fighter and aikido fighter equal in experience were to fight each other?I mean i absolutely believe that you can fight off up to 3 guys with aikido,IF they are not trained.But what if it was only one very offensiv MA style fighting guy?

[luciuswake]

Basic aikido teaches you to use circular movement to step aside and then use the attackers momentum against him. I would recommend aikido for its rolling skills and basic defense methodology which is not straight line attack and defense as it is in Karate. More like kung-fu Aikido is defensively.

[N17C1]

I've sparred with a much more experienced kick-boxer (who was bigger and fitter than me). Even though it took me quite a few minutes to take him down, he wasn't able to hit me at all. The foot work taught in Aikido works very well in avoiding the attack. After I took him down he laughed for a long time - he couldn't believe someone as junior as me had landed him on his ass.

[bushwhacker2k]

I agree. A lot of martial arts techniques seem to rely on the opponent being untrained, but a fast trained Muay Thai fighter probably won't throw a spinning rear kick right off the bat.

[takedowned]

you didn't create anything you just made up a stupid word

[takedowned]

the difference is the first is the real pronounciation and the second is something you made up because you're dumb

[takedowned]

well i don't know about an aikidoist then,but an aikidoka is a whole other thing though

[takedowned]

what the fuck is an "aikidoist"

[hobogoblin55]

ok the solution you post a video of you taking on an aikido master then youtube can see if it works or not.

[Cwisius]

cause hips dont lie baby xD

[MrKarl44]

Hi. Could someone please tell me who the shaven headed instructor is in these vids and does he have any instruction dvds out and where can they be purchased. He has a great approach to Aikido and I'd like to learn more. Thanks.

[ange115]

Gary Boaz, his youtube account is kyushoaikiguy

[dilbertr93010]

I think we all agree the Uke needs to work on his ushiro geri, but the principles demonstrated are relevent. Drive in with your hip just off the center line of attack. Once you are hip to hip you can administer any number of locks, breaks, and/or takedowns.

[JamminJamacan]

why would someone do a SPINNING back kick? That takes ur sight off the opponent, and if it were me getting kicked, i'd just duck, since he just looked away, and punch him in the balls. If it was a girl, then...... well, i'd push her to the ground and run away, since i dont hit girls.

[pimp500000]

ok.....first you take your eyes off your opponent for like a nanosecond and you not quik enough to punch in the balls and second of all this was planed try to recieve a spinning back kick unexpecting it

[streen41]

spinning back kick is used as a surprise attack in many styles and half of the time it can be used to the knees. it can be very effective and the speed at which you spin around your oppenet would have to be very fast and know it's coming to get out of the way. Oh ya and punching someone in the balls, try that and see how fast you can actually drop down and hit someone in the balls. You'd be better off trying to kick them.

[Derukugi2]

Some random thoughts: Cool looking technique, but is that really Aikido? Firstly, it is unusual to practise with kicks, and secondly, this neck-braking stuff seems to belong more to kobudo than to modern arts like Aikido.

Also, the back kick is ridiculous. In your other videos, your uke is good. For this, you should find someone who actually can kick.

[mrbouma]

i now want to learn aikido because of your vids. i gave up fight sports, ive done boxing and thia boxing for about 7years. I think this is better, its all about technic and disaplin. im now 28 and with the sports ive done im getting to old haha.

[14715829]

i love all of your video's, and i think they are all brilliant, but the kick from your uke is a lil bit pathetic, not meanin to be bitchy or anything but it just is not realistic, if you are ever going to do a ushiro mawashi geri, it should be to the head, simon

[kyushoaikiguy]

Thanks Simon. Jason has some decent kicks, especally for an aikidoka. Having said that, he'll freely admit that his spinning kicks suck. And I will have to respectfully disagree with you on your opinon about the ushiro mawashi geri. It all depends on the situation. If a person tries to kick my head in real life, I'm going under the kick to take out the opposite knee. That's a situation I will deal severely with! Thanks for the comment and the respectful attitude!!!

[14715829]

Yeah, Also, tbh, in a realistic sittuation, someone on the street most likely isnt going to through a ushiro mwashi geri, and if they did attemp it, i sertianly wouldnt be too the head because like all tecniques, they take alot of practice.and yeah, everything comes down to situation at the end of the day and yeah, i agree about Jason's kicks, i have seen the other video's and they seem pretty decent. the rest of my message will be sent on a new message ....

[786hanif]

sensei, sorry to jump into a thread but i'm hoping you can answer a question. i've practisd for 4 years but have a problem in randori when uke fakes a punch/kick and get suckered by the follow-up. is it just a case of relaxing and tuning into uke which comes through practise? or are there strategies to deal with this? would love a series of vids on this. in the dojo we only practise against pure committed strikes - not boxer type feints.

with respect from the uk.

[aikicop1]

Move and attack at the time and distance that is your time and distance, not uke's. Then it will not matter what they do. You are waiting. So, when someone does something your brain is not taught to recognize, you freeze, or over react. Practice much more weapons training, particularly Nishio Aikido. Then you will also see that there is "attack" in Aikido, in terms of initiating technique. Focus only on taking center. That does not always refer to uke's balance. It also means timing.

[786hanif]

thanks for the advice.

[prestfeldt]

My kicks were learned when I was 7 yrs old taking Tae Kwan Do, not the best. I did my best for Sensei. No offense taken about the spinning back kicks, truth is truth.

[786hanif]

hey, you've got a great sensei to learn from. you're there for sensei to demonstrate the technique. don't let anyone bug you about the form. good luck in your training.

[wuweido]

your videos are the best ive seen

[kyushoaikiguy]

WOW! I really appreciate that. You've just made my whole day.

[14715829]

the rest ..... Its cool, at my aikido club we havent really done many kick teniques, i guess because im only a 3rd kyu but yanno lol, but anyway, thanks fr posting the great vids, many thanks, from simon :D
