This is not acting!!!! I've been practicing Aikido for over 20 years. The thing that makes people not believe the theory behind Aikido is that two people are not attacking each other. The key here is to interupt uke (the attacker's) balance before and in some cases as he becomes powerful. In Aikido you're trained to fall the moment you feel yourself helpless in plan words. Safety plays a big role. If this was a street attack, serious harm could happen to uke.

aikikai... where aikibudo becomes aikiDANCU!

Fakest acting I have seen in a long time, sorry to squish all your gullible feelings.

@wck127

How do you know this is acting? Do you practice martial arts as well?

[TheDrvce]

Maestro Endo has something brilliant to share.

Palm-to-palm. Thank you.

[ElijahJaredStone]

There are so many videos that demonstrate horrible Aikido, and this is NOT one of them. This is truly brilliant!

[nullstab]

Go and see some videos of O Sensei, i guess you think he makes terrible Aikido...

What Endo does isn't the way i want to practise and i can't see where the quality is, but i have to respect the people who want to follow this branch of Aikido.

Please, respect the roots of aikido and the ones who want to study them!

[ElijahJaredStone]

Obviously I respect the roots of Aikido or I wouldn't recognize how brilliant this video is. By the way, the deepest root of Aikido is love. Peace.

[nullstab]

Sorry, maybe i'm still to young - from my point of view there is a huge difference between O Sensei and his first student's and the things i see in this video.

Just saying "aikido is love" to excuse every kind of training and still claiming that aikido is a martial art is just wrong!

And please: Love is definitely not the root of aikido! It is the root of dancing!

If you want to dance, call it dancing and stop destroying the work of O Sensei!

[PieterDave]

@nullstab its not the root indeed, it is love itself.

[Aur0rah]

to people who do not undrstand why the guy goes arround its nto because he is "weak" or acting , faking... becasue the best deffence is to be flexible and responsive, and thats why.
