@TheRogueMonk for all the people that dismisses a technique or another keep in mind that fighting is all about timing. doesn't matter if he knows how to hit or not. this is just kihon, and it's going to work in a real fight if you can manage the timing.
What makes these blocks "Aikido"? One of the things I've always enjoyed about Aikido is its lack of blocking. I enjoy how the art uses assertive changes in position to neutralize and ultimately control the attacker. I see you moving in your "blocks" which seems wise. What is the point of showing these "blocks" separate from actual technique?
Senseji, thank you for your videos, i think they really help me increase the level of my own aikido a lot, for the things you show are very creative and pure.
@Aikidostenudd your right, it's just the guy in the video is significantly shorter than you at it just looked like you could place your hand on his head as he strikes and he'd flop lol. good tori though.
these guys are pretty fast

for the first punch to the stomach all you have to do put your hand on his face as he does it.
