Four Winds Aikido 合気道 Hook punch into Hiji-Otoshi

[moten2]

do you need students with expirence

[ironfisteagleclaw]

No. You can be a beginner. We welcome everyone.

[Martialsmash]

Aikido looks effective and these techniques look nice and simple. But can Aikido work against an opponent that punches again and again rapidly with both arms--quickly bringing back each arm after every punch? Often, attacks are very fast and hard to work with.

[ironfisteagleclaw]

Yes it can. This is just a demo of one way of going about things. I never train my students to just think there is going to be on punch or kick but you must start somewhere. With these basics we build their understanding of how to deal with a strike in very solid ways. After this has been gained most Aikidoka should have not prob dealing with string of strikes and kicks. I am very aware that attacks are very fast and can be hard to deal with but in my Aikido we train for these things.

[Martialsmash]

Good. I'm glad to hear this. I feel more confident about Aikido.

If you put up any video that shows that Aikido can work against strings of punches/kicks, many would appreciate it. Perhaps even sparring matches (unpredictability) if you wish. It would help me decide if I should pursue Aikido.

Thank you.

Thanks!!! Is that you bro? Peace!

[5ockpuppet5fromhe11]

Yes, Master, my 2 week suspension for supporting free speech, here on youtube, is almost up. In about 3 more days you will see me, once again, under my original name. To me, free and truthful speech is as sacred as any god. You KNOW who I am.

[ironfisteagleclaw]

Wow! I fully support our free speech! In the past years now I have watched them stomp our Bill of rights, They are guilty of countless civil liberty violations. And have torn apart the the Constitution. This is how I feel as an American (Native American) I see every day the degradation of our society by the actions of our government in so many areas. When censorship happens everyone suffers.

[gekiryudojo]

I like the transition from arm hold to lock very much, very interesting,

Have a good weekend Robert.

[charlyallanos]

great technique sensei!

[ironfisteagleclaw]

Thank you charlyallanos. Peace!!

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

No disrespect: Where you would move your opponent from the outside to the inside in a way to unbalance for a take down (excellent BTW!).

I would open the opponent up from the inside to the outside to initiate a strike to the targets such as the solar plexus, throat, eyes and temple of the head.

[ironfisteagleclaw]

I understand what you are saying. But that was not what I was teaching then. These videos are from my classes (Not made for youtube) Just to share some Aikido. We strike. I strike a ton. Not during this video. Inside or out if you drop his elbow he will go down. If I were to strike him it would be in the throat with a knife hand as I took him down. Or a back fist. Or Hammer fist to the jaw or temple and on and on and again they would be applied as put them into the take down.

[crazycolerogers]

great vid, i have a few new sword vids yoiu may want to check out

[ironfisteagleclaw]

Thanks bro. Cool I will stop by and take a look at them. Have a great week. Peace!

[Darkarch87]
