  • I was told it was for more of a someone wants to strike you over the head with a beer bottle..it can work the same way with a straight punch too I imagine

  • you play so beautiful.

  • who the fuck is gunna come to a fight comming at you with a straight forward chop......... moron

  • Not a local lumberjack - that's for sure! LOL

    Aikido is not a street fighting art. That attack comes from the sword arts.

  • Jujitsu is the art of the Samurai.. aikido and jujitsu have plenty of overlap, but the circular motions come from aikido. Aikido/jujitsu/aikijitsu/hapki­do are probably the best street fighting arts that can be learned.. actually, no.. not street fighting, but street self-defense. If you studied any of these arts, you'd know.

  • Angry customers with anything from a bottle to a hammer in my experience.

  • u saw it before?

  • Working in bars can seriously damage your health

  • It's how you learn the technique.. it's easier to learn it like so, than from a punch.. a punch is a bit more difficult to pick up and parry.

  • You are right. Nobody is going to attack in this way.

    This is a basic technique that can be adapted to the many ways someone could attack you (with a stick, knife, or punch). You are not restricted to following the slower paced rules of a dojo either. In a real attack that guy would have been f'd up when he got wacked in the face with your arm and then slammed to the ground. Obviously those two werent going at anything near full speed.

  • i have always been taught that while this is not a practical strike, it is the same motion that anyone swinging a weapon from overhead (a knife, a baseball bat, a barstool, etc...) will make. Since we dont typically train with barstools this is an acceptable way to study the response to such a situation without need for the actual prop.

  • a man with a sword!
