A version of Sankyo part 2

[ROCKNINJA777]

you are a great instructor. the moves all look very fluent and effective. Osss!:)

[ajdoman317]

great demonstration again aikido is very interesting and unfortunately often misunderstood or doubted which is a shame great art

[TheAIH16]

Great technique ! thank you for sharing!

[MrMtasar]

perfect techniques really

[Shadowx209]

lol, you think that will work in a real fight? kmon lets be real too much bs, only in movies happens lol, not very effective in a real fight

[Pinoymak]

the guy looks beat up by many videos from now

[damichaelandmichael2]

Lol props to the demonstration dummy here. I saw how much pain and how annoyed he was by that pressure point lol

[jamieleeleblanc]

That is awesome!

[tesihmil]

Sir, excuse me, but isn't this technic are a too serious to be shown to public like that, that neck lock? ... Of course, don't get me wrong, you're a big master in your style... but haven't you thought on a moment that some kind of a teenager would learn that and execute it in a real life with a bit of overdo? ... That would have ended tragically indeed. Otherwise - a great show... I practice martial arts as well and I've enjoyed. *thumb up* P.S. This video should fall under age regulations.

[eaglefeather1234]

try doing that when you've got a tine of adrenaline running through your veins

[Kakaaa10]

this guy suffered 

[Sirus362]

This is great im going to try this out when im next at class.

[badboyjeff031]

Michael if you use minimization concepts and turn Soto Giri Irimi(its a block used for munezuki)into its smaller form it is similar to a parry except that you turn Tegatana(handblade)instead of using your palm to parry(similar to what Enshin Karate uses Chudan soto nagashi for Hiki Kuzushi).You then can alternate soto giri to defend the jab cross(capturing the cross) or soto giri and tsuri age(like brushing your hair) with your second hand and capture.Ive used it in sparring mma.

[xenomorph42]

Gosh, you are THE man. Your explanations are so clear and fun. Always, always look forward to watching your new vids. Wish you could come to Fukuoka and open up a dojo, I'd be waiting in the cold to line up to take lessons from a great Sensei as yourself! I will practice this later when I go back to my dojo.

Thanks so much again, Sensei!

[Micahel213]

I've seen a lot of these defences but always against traditional tsuki's. Problem is that any boxing type art (f.e. thaiboxing, kickboxing, daido kudo) do not throw punches like that. I'd like to see aikido defences against boxing jabs, hooks, cross's and low kicks combo's. Do you have examples of these. I'd think there must be but I haven't found them.

[Sirus362]

@Micahel213 That was something i wondered about and variant of number one of Randori is effective against punches. Having done Kick boxing for 5 years and Knock Down Karate for 6 i can vouch for AIkido being effective against striking styles, I have now done Tomiki Aikido for 2 years and wish id started with Aikido instead of everything else.

[Micahel213]

@Sirus362

Maybe you can make a sparring vid? I'd really like to see it in action.

[Sirus362]

@Micahel213 In Aikido there isnt sparring. Theres no exchange of strikes. The fight is ment to be ended before that. It isnt really until Shodan level when you introduce strikes to distract the person attacking you and even then its more about drawing them onto your fist. It took me a long time to get out of the habit of trying to strike when doing Randori number one. Its a straight push with an extended arm. Its ery hard to describe Aikido to someone whos never experienced it.

[Micahel213]

@Sirus362

Then you can't say for sure that Aikido is effective against striking arts.

And though not intricately, I do have some experience with Aikido. The problem I encountered (actually they encountered) was that a lot of strikers don't use long wide movements. They use short and explosive jabs, crosses and hooks along with knees elbows and the sort without committing in an all out forward movement that can be used against them.

[Micahel213]

@Sirus362

From what I've seen so far the strikes used to counter in Aikido can be compared with battering rams, while strikers use jackhammers.

[232323C]

i like!

[bushin64]

This is a great version of sankyo! Thank you for sharing. Regarding the pressure point ... are you on the anterior portion of the SCM? I assume this pressure is between the SCM and the Omohyoid.

[kyushoaikiguy]

@bushin64 Yes sir you are correct about the location here. Thanks!

[coolzoie]

Aren't you exposed to a punch while you grab uke before you spin? I mean in 1:35 The technique is very effective but i have just this doubt

[aldo2394]

that uke's face was really funny!

[ThrowedAzzGangsta]

nice

[spakerman]

Stereotypes exist for a reason.

[ajapzk]

great sankyo form... can you show variation of sankyo in nage waza?

[kyushoaikiguy]

Well, I guess I should have said, "maybe someone let THREE pitbulls loose in the house."

Well, Shorty only counts as half I guess...

[kyushoaikiguy]

Thank you! Glad you liked it. Take care!

[alphamale922]

Beautiful sankyo variation... i've never seen a transition like that from Take Sensei nor O' Sensei- i'm truly impressed!

[kyushoaikiguy]

Thanks Acie. Just a variation of other techniques. Have a good day!

[Eayne]

oh dam.... can i get your number man... i dont have a myspace so i couldn't contact u on that.... if u got facebook though

[Deke101]

Sweet!

We use that pressure point as an atemi point during many techniques. I never thought to use it during Sankyo. Excellent!

[kyushoaikiguy]

You might be getting your wish Eayne...I'm starting a school in Kansas City soon.

[Eayne]

awesome.. wish i had someone to uke for me

[wuweido]

Great
