Although most variants were performed splendidly, I didn't quite like the way he defended against punches. He'd always focus entirely on the punching arm, neglecting the second one. In a real fight it would mean an instant knockout.
@mrheadagainstwall It's impossible to catch your opponent's wrist regardless to whether he is a boxer or not. One must focus on the elbow and forearm as they move several times slower then the fist.
I'm not a martial artist so forgive me if this is a stupid question. Is this move resulting in a pin or a submission? I know the guy taps out but is he doing this just to end the sequence?
Most of these techniques take too much time structurally (too many steps): it may be useful to learn moves and positioning but you can t expect someone to wait patiently, giving his arm, until you move and finish the technique. Reality check.
I like the Ushiro Waza (Ryote Mochi). The way I was taught seems too broken up. My knees can't do that much Suwari Waza in a month! Thanks for a great demo!
I am no Master of Aikido by any means, however i noticed that when you are pinning the attacker you are often bent over. I learned that you should have your back straight because there may be other attackers and if you are bent over you can't see or react to them. Other than that you have great technique and flow, and I like how you put the name of each attack on the screen, I tend to forget sometimes :) Great Vid though :D
@i3oges I have explained this in some other comment. I bend over in that way to apply the wrist twist pinning at the end. It's not necessary, but a good basic technique against one opponent. Against several attackers, there is no time for any kind of end pinning.
@Aikidostenudd Ultimately, it's an art, so there are going to be many variations. One sensei teaches one way, another sensei teaches another way. Practice what is being practiced at the time and add it or remove it from your syllabus at you own discretion... at least... that's what I learned.
@Aikidostenudd yeah, I was taught the same way as i3oges, but there are very different things that my Sensei teaches. A sensei can be very individualistic.
What if your attacker is someone a lot taller than you? Usually I can do an ikkyo against someone who is about the same height as me, but when someone is significantly larger or taller, they don't budge at all. I can't get their arm near their head like the ikkyo in this video. Also, I was taught a bit differently, instead of placing the elbow in that position, usually their arms are straight out and we perform the ikkyo and pin them to the ground.
@swarm012 Many aikido techniques are actually easier to do when you are shorter than the attacker. Not ikkyo, though. You need to bring the attacker down some, before doing the ikkyo movement, or do it to the side instead of upwards. Hanmi handachiwaza is a good way of practicing the techniques against taller attackers.
@Aikidostenudd what do you mean by doing ikkyo to the side? i just remembered that we step outside to the corner instead of inside for ikkyo. i haven't learned to step into the attacker.
@swarm012 I mean that you pull the attacker's arm to the side, instead of making a big vertical circle with it. Of course, there's no point in stepping right into the attacker. Every aikido technique should start with the evasive taisabaki movement to the side.
@Aikidostenudd What about shorter attackers? my brother is smaller in height then me but quite stronger when he resists i cant seem to do any of the ikkyo technique? Im really unsure what I can do to make it easier for me to work against stronger opponents, that have a better center of gravity then I do.. We just practice though its not like we hurt each other. But still I cant seem to get the technique on stronger opponents then me that resist.
@holyman668 I think you're supposed to try and distract him, for example, slap him in the face and then perform the ikkyo or do it fast when he's not expecting it.
@thomasjessen, kiai is in no way forbidden. The aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba made kiai frequently. But kiai is something different from aiki, although they both have the component ki.
@Aikidostenudd why do some teach to step into uke's ribs and push over uke when doing ikkyo omote and others (like you and doshu) simply take the arm to the mat, does the mean there are two ikkyo's or did someone just think its nice to step into uke one day? it seems if you step into uke you risk uke grabbing your leg.
@matthewexpert, there are many different ways of making ikkyo, focusing on different aspects of the technique. Also, the technique changes slightly depending on the nature of the attack and of the attacker. I try to find a way to make ikkyo as soft as possible, with minimum force needed.
yes i thought that too, but this is not him showing OFF his skill, its him DEMONSTRATING to us the technique, i think if he wanted he could do it really fast and then we'd be watching a different kind of video
why are you bowing every time you pin him.. and why aren't why stretching his arm out as you are pinning. ikkyo isn't just laying their arm on the mat. you have to put your knee into his armpit and stretch the arm out while you slide it down like your trying to dislocate his arm.
i don't see any pressure when ikkyo is being applied until his arm is on the ground. to hyper extend the arm he should have applied the pressure before it touched the mat. i
The "bowing" is to apply a wrist twist, similar to nikyo, which is an addition to the ikkyo pinning that is used sometimes, when the position easily allows for it.
Hi, Im from Tenerife (Spain), 5th Kuy, but i'm doing Aikido since 2002. I love Aikido, the art, the beauty, and it's wonderful to have the opportunity of see such good videos like this. To see this moves, remembers me why I will never give up to reach 1rst Dan. Thank you :)
I have a question, howcome like people cant resist your attacks / block things? I am thinking about starting Aikido, but it doesnt look real as it looks easy for people to ressist it?
ive been doing aikido for 9 months, it does not look real till you try it ive done karate and kickboxing and aikido is really effective if done well. the secret is that you dont power up the arms you get your power from you hips. cause there is no power in the arms the attacker has nothing to fight against best advse i say is TRY IT
One thing that you need to understand is that this is a demonstration. The attacks and techniques are somewhat slowed for the camera, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see much.
Most Aikido demonstrations are just that: demonstrations of the movements and principles of Aikido and they tend to be flowing and flamboyant. They are not fight/combat simulations and do not pretend to be. Aikido in the "real world" would look very different, although the principles would be the same.
::Great video..Awesome Techniques.. No talking or yapping..Simply direct to the point.. I wish all Instructors are like this..No yapping, no bs and no fussy and most of all...NO WASTING TIME & MONEY..
@Aur0rah ..at the end it is not Nikyo, it is an ude osae that is the firs principle ikkyo ude osae "when you do control of the arm" ... when you work on the rist doin a tortion to the intirior then it is kote mawashi that we now as second principle Nikyo, sorry to give this response so late, but time that god give us is perfect...
I've got a question... why did yo start the vid with advanced attacks (ryokatadori and else) instead of the basics like Aihanmi Katatedori or Shomenuchi?
Good point, ppancho188. This video was made from clips of a second recording session, with the less common attack forms. The most common attack forms in tachiwaza you find on my website (see the link in my info text at the upper right corner).
This video is merely demonstrating one technique and it's many derivatives and/or variations that does NOT EXCLUSIVELY have an emphasis on self-defense. Aikido is NOT ENTIRELY about FIGHTING.
thats why i love stennuds endevour to show teh variations BECAUSE they are not practiced in aikido , in aikido we have to invent them .. wich is pretty exciting and funn, but its not easy to plan like this . ironically.
Hi aikidostennud. As I told I don't want offende you. Probably you're great in your activity and surely you put in it all your heart. I don't know aikido. My idea is what I saw in your video lacks every basic I know and teach... But it's only my mind, and no doubt I know only a very very little snake of the word! Hi
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
excuz me... I did'nt see all the clip. Now I can tell it's simple ridicolous (always that's only my mind) However I hope aikido is a sort of folclorystic tradition. Please don't tell me you really put in the streets ppl who belive using this vs a real aggressor. Hao DEAD MEN WALKING! (and not the aggressor)
To outsiders, Aikido appears to be flowery and "soft" but in reality it came from the original Samurai martial art of aikijitsu. It is a battle tested martial art form. O Sensei emphasized "non-aggression" in training and practice but I can assure you that anyone who picks a fight with a trained aikidoka will be sorry - very sorry.
no offence, and probably this is a very (very) basic tecnique (if I don't mistake "i" stands for "one" and "kyo" is something like "arm lock")... But it's really poor... No protection, no zoning, all frontal exposure... The last of my begginers, after a couple of hours will kick in the ass that great gran master...
I see your point, but in all honesty, how strong can a kick like that be? I've had lots of training parters (a particularly flexibe one who always tries to find loopholes in techniques) try the kick, and it just doesn't work.
Aikikai is an organization, not a style, and does not regulate how aikido techniques should be done. You can see that on high grade teachers within the Aikikai - their aikido differs quite a lot.
I see nage pinning uke using a hyperflexion of the wrist (palm being pressed toward the forearm): looks like textbook ikkyo pin to me. Nikyo pin is an adductive wristlock: it causes ulnar deviation, or the wrist is twisted towards the ulna (pinky side of the forearm). It looks like a nikyo pin just because nikyo also involves flexion of the wrist, but does not involve hyperflexion.
I am impressed with your range of videos. This one is very complete. I look forward to learning and playing with you on this new dojo called the net. What an advantage modern students have - getting to see teachers from all over the world at a click.
Concratulations for a good tutorial, Aikidostenudd! There are many "tutorials" in youtube (made by high rank black belts)that amount to nothing. This video has all the elements that good basic techniques require. The style differs from what I have learned, but that is unimportant. Looking forward to participating your seminars in Finland!
In tsuki-ikkyo you enter inside without atemi. Do you rely on speed and unbalansing the uke? The other fist of the uke seems dangerously ready to punch your mid-section as you begin your technique.
A word of explaination on my video response. Stenudd Sensei made a couple of remarks on how I might break uke's balance by using larger motions rather than solely using the internal spiral. Thank you for the insight Sensei, I've been playing with the ideas for a few months now! ~j
I always read comments that aikido wouldn't do in a real fight, because people would punch too fast. If you howerever look at videos of people in a fight (not competative but in an aggressive argument) you see people jump on top of eachother trying to get eachother to the ground, but rarliy see a real (professional) fast punch. so if you would get in a fight with someone (who's not a pro-boxer or karate or somethin) aikido is a very reliable defense
Yes, it probably takes a few years before you can do a decent aikido technique on quick and powerful attacks. I would say that is true for any martial art.
Yes, you can adapt ikkyo to tsuki attacks, and you don't need to change the technique much at all. You find chudantsuki at 33 seconds on this video. Hanmihandachiwaza jodantsuki is at 5:13.
Would you say combining aikido (grappling) with a striking style such as karate (as in, practicing both of them, not combining the 2 styles) would be the best defense?
I am connected to Aikikai, which really contains a lot of different styles of aikido. Most techniques are done pretty much the same way, in whatever aikido style.
Please keep in mind as you watch *any* aikido demonstration, that you are seeing 2 lessons in one. As an aikidoka, the first thing we are taught is how to absord, redirect, and "flow" with an attack. Then,you have the technique itself. When you watch, you are seeing one student apply the defensive technique, and one the offensive.
We do this so that our uke is not injured in class, and so that we know what to do, how to move our bodies, when we are struck or thrown in order to protect ourselves and avoid injury. In a "real" fight, no it doesnt look like this - because the 'attacker' will most like fall harder, and improperly, therefore getting injured. Then again, if you are truly practicing a *martial art* as opposed to simply learning a *fighting style* (mma), the occasions of conflict should be minimal
i've been downloading the video clips on your website to try to learn the finer points of some of the techniques for quite some time now, but i just discovered that you have this youtube one too! cool stuff. just wanna say thanks. :)
No slow-mo, but on my website you find each technique on its own short video clip, with explanations - also some attack forms that are not in this video.
It's when applying the wrist lock, which I do whenever my grip on uke's wrist allows for it. To make that lock strong, you put your whole lower arm on the floor.
Although most variants were performed splendidly, I didn't quite like the way he defended against punches. He'd always focus entirely on the punching arm, neglecting the second one. In a real fight it would mean an instant knockout.

in "traditional" aikido, as in japanese martial arts in general, there are no coloured belts.
Reaching shodan (1st dan) means one has acquired all the basics of the art and is now able to study it.
The coloured belts system addresses some practical issues, but often mistakenly leads one to believe black belt is the ultimate goal.

I know some Aikido branches have different terminology, but this here is Aikikai, isn´t it.

Aikikai is an organization, not a style, and does not regulate how aikido techniques should be done. You can see that on high grade teachers within the Aikikai - their aikido differs quite a lot.

looks like ikkyo to me, with ikkyo pin.
jelletts 3 years ago
That pin is a kote gatame, which is normally called nikkyo.
Of course, ikkyo, nikkyo etc. simply means no. 1, no.2 etc., so you can make your own definitions.

I see nage pinning uke using a hyperflexion of the wrist (palm being pressed toward the forearm): looks like textbook ikkyo pin to me. Nikyo pin is an adductive wristlock: it causes ulnar deviation, or the wrist is twisted towards the ulna (pinky side of the forearm). It looks like a nikyo pin just because nikyo also involves flexion of the wrist, but does not involve hyperflexion.

I am impressed with your range of videos. This one is very complete. I look forward to learning and playing with you on this new dojo called the net. What an advantage modern students have - getting to see teachers from all over the world at a click.

Concratulations for a good tutorial, Aikidostenudd! There are many "tutorials" in youtube (made by high rank black belts)that amount to nothing. This video has all the elements that good basic techniques require. The style differs from what I have learned, but that is unimportant. Looking forward to participating your seminars in Finland!

Thank you for your kind words. I hope I get to Finland, one of these days. Last time was at the solar eclipse (and the Doshu seminar).

In tsuki-ikkyo you enter inside without atemi. Do you rely on speed and unbalansing the uke? The other fist of the uke seems dangerously ready to punch your mid-section as you begin your technique.
WillieDeal 3 years ago
I step to the other side of uke, and then rely on the flow of the movement. In proper speed there is no stopping after the first step, of course.

First time I actually sit down and watch martial arts and trying to understand and I must say it`s beatiful!
This is so far the only thing ivè sen but it`s enough for me cos I understand now why it`s called art!
Thank you very much!

A word of explaination on my video response. Stenudd Sensei made a couple of remarks on how I might break uke's balance by using larger motions rather than solely using the internal spiral. Thank you for the insight Sensei, I've been playing with the ideas for a few months now! ~j

I always read comments that aikido wouldn't do in a real fight, because people would punch too fast. If you howerever look at videos of people in a fight (not competative but in an aggressive argument) you see people jump on top of eachother trying to get eachother to the ground, but rarliy see a real (professional) fast punch. so if you would get in a fight with someone (who's not a pro-boxer or karate or somethin) aikido is a very reliable defense

Excellent observation. Ju jitsu, aikido, judo and related arts are highly effective defenses against the 'bar room haymaker'.
CTDjevin 4 years ago
K now i understand. U could use this on a punch. But it must take a long time to become proficient enough to do so right?
Emosucks1991 4 years ago
Yes, it probably takes a few years before you can do a decent aikido technique on quick and powerful attacks. I would say that is true for any martial art.

Är det möjligt att anpassa ikkyo till Tsuki attacker, hur görs det?
solenSenshure 4 years ago
Yes, you can adapt ikkyo to tsuki attacks, and you don't need to change the technique much at all. You find chudantsuki at 33 seconds on this video. Hanmihandachiwaza jodantsuki is at 5:13.
Aikidostenudd 4 years ago
Would you say combining aikido (grappling) with a striking style such as karate (as in, practicing both of them, not combining the 2 styles) would be the best defense?
TVwatcha01 4 years ago
There are many reasons for learning more than one martial art. It helps you understand all of them better.
There is striking in aikido, called atemi. Still, training for example karatedo surely improves your atemi.

what style of aikido? i hope its yoshinkan...
but these techniques are they really restricted by style?
Aur0rah 4 years ago
I am connected to Aikikai, which really contains a lot of different styles of aikido. Most techniques are done pretty much the same way, in whatever aikido style.

I'm a fan of martial arts, but I guess my question is does any of this work against a non-ragdoll?
drallafi 4 years ago
Please keep in mind as you watch *any* aikido demonstration, that you are seeing 2 lessons in one. As an aikidoka, the first thing we are taught is how to absord, redirect, and "flow" with an attack. Then,you have the technique itself. When you watch, you are seeing one student apply the defensive technique, and one the offensive.
edrox8465 4 years ago
We do this so that our uke is not injured in class, and so that we know what to do, how to move our bodies, when we are struck or thrown in order to protect ourselves and avoid injury. In a "real" fight, no it doesnt look like this - because the 'attacker' will most like fall harder, and improperly, therefore getting injured. Then again, if you are truly practicing a *martial art* as opposed to simply learning a *fighting style* (mma), the occasions of conflict should be minimal
edrox8465 4 years ago
I like how you have differentiated "martial art" from "fighting style"
It seems to me that these days the 'art' in martial art is devalued, and so all we are seeing in dojos are fighters... not artists.
Fighters are a dime a dozen... artists are rare.

Brilliant! By any chance do you have any slow-mo footage? This video is a lot to take in. I think I watched it about 6 times now. Amazing
Samurai314 5 years ago
No slow-mo, but on my website you find each technique on its own short video clip, with explanations - also some attack forms that are not in this video.
Aikidostenudd 5 years ago
Nice video, you can never do too many ikkyos! Why do you crouch down on the ikkyo immobilisation? I've never seen that before.
birdt 5 years ago
It's when applying the wrist lock, which I do whenever my grip on uke's wrist allows for it. To make that lock strong, you put your whole lower arm on the floor.
Aikidostenudd 5 years ago
Aaah, now I see! Thanks for the reply.
