I trained under the Master Gozo Shioda live in student, Mori Sensei, who teaches in Brisbane, Australia. I visited head dojo in Japan. In my many years, let me say that a master of Aikido is amazing, deadly but yet soft as water. Takes a lot of training to gain such sensitivity.
@preko1969 Such things are only possible once you have mastered your own mind. Then your timing will be perfect and you can transcend some practical rules. Look up the video "Aiki Lab: Three Principles To Create an Aiki Resolution " and go to 2:30. It shows how a movement can appear as a withdrawal but it can still have intent towards the uke's center.
Aah all the armchair practitioners and fighters who 'know' this is rubbish by watching a minute and forty seconds of video. Think they can understand a guy who's clearly a Master of his Art. I've seen things ordinary people wouldn't believe in martial arts. If you can't learn from this man just be silent. I notice a terrible lack of character in 90% of the comments made on martial arts videos. An inability to show respect will hold you back in your training. Peace.
@Geekman333 you forgot the people who actually believe that elves and dwarves are real, also vampires and werewolves etcetera. for many years people have been shown that there are applicable stuff and stuff that looks nice but lack reality in martial arts.
but still..people believe what they want to believe and yeah..whatever.
@ookami3380 I understand what you're saying but I've been lucky enough in my limited Martial Arts career to see elves and dwarves with my own eyes. It's not for me to question the abilities of anybody who's studied something for thirty and forty years. It's probably not the place of 99% of the commenters here either. Armchair warriors typing out their insecurity should go and train instead. It's that simple. Peace.
@Geekman333 There are masters who can do things which confound the observer and there are fake masters. Because of the fakes, the truth is laughed at by these people who think they know what's possible or not. Were it not for the existence of the know-it-alls, these arts and masters would not be as appreciated as they are.
@ivoandsumi..An Aikidoa wont "catch" a punch..Aikidoa will side step at basic angles 45°,90°, 180°, ect,ect and then use the energy, and momentum to apply various technique...
@mcstyles21...it is used traditionally for not only comfort, and freedom of movement but to hide the movement at, and around the knees..
@ivoandsumi There's the concept of 'awase' or 'blend', something which is clunky/difficult for junior students to do, but gets better over time (with mindful repetition). Recommend you check out an accredited Aikido dojo near you and ask your questions there. Perhaps your "what if the attacker does this" questions will change to "how the heck did he just do that" questions. ;-)
@preko1969 its a matter of timing and control. if u control your oponent as well as he does, then it doesnt matter.
by the time shioda turns his back, the attackers momentum cant be stoped by himself and is such that he is no threat to shioda. shioda knows that he will go past him.
@storyacoustic if it was the greek riot police that would mean something, but when was the last time you saw a riot in tokyo.....give me a break, tokyo police must be like cotton candy...plus I don´t believe what you say
@guachingman Your estimation of the Tokyo riot police may be correct; I certainly don't know much about Tokyo. But it is true that Tokyo riot cops must complete a black belt course in Yoshinkan Aikido. As for the people saying this isn't martial art, I have to disagree. No, aikido cannot be realistically applied in the street exactly as it is trained in the dojo, but that doesn't make it different from any other martial art.
@storyacoustic sure aikido has its applications, and granted some of its techniques or rather a global understanding and mastering of it is useful.
I don't belong to the "aikido is bullshit" crew neither, it is beautiful and profound imo, just not to be taken literally as in blocking the hand from holding the katana...as I said, rather a global understanding and mastering of it.
I hope a black belt was compulsory for rioters, now that would be nice to see in an all out riot...
A good analogy would be to hold your arms out like a child pretending to be flying. Now rotate the left hand clockwise till you cant go any farther. If someone does this to you, you have only one choice to avoid injury. Flip foreward. To resist or go backward will result in a broken arm. As for the repeated attacks is only to teach how to defend against different attacks and think quickly to each one
ContradictoryNature asks good legit questions..I will attempt to answer. The "neutralizing techniques" are almost everyone that hes doing. Study the hands while watching the video. What appears as the opponent just flipping around is actually a wrist lock being done at high speed. Actual street combat would appear different. It would actually look like his arm contorted and both the wrist, elbow, and possible shoulder would break. An attacker wouldnt flip like that..just drop.
@aikido223411 It's a shame this answer wasn't tagged in my inbox, because it answers my questions very well. Thank you for the clarification, I had of course not considered the possibility that the sparring partner was preparing beforehand to roll with the counters because if he didn't, the motion would snap his wrist. While I could conduct the rolls the partner did, doing so in a fight requires me to know what the aikidoka was doing beforehand, a practically impossible feat. Very good point.
He can neutralise the guys very fast, throw them so they will not get up again. Also do the atemi ( strikes witha hand and fingers from a distance of about 10 centimeter to vital points on the body) so they will not stand up anymore. Some of the technics he is doing, he is doing rather soft, because it is only a demonstration. But normally, if he do it the right way, he can break arms and replace joint on his opponent. Why should he do so? He wants to show balance and gravity control.
I love aikido. I have only one problem with this sort of demonstration. Typically, it involves one man attacking another, and then repeatedly being flipped around. A few things wrong with that; one, if your opponent is down, he shouldn't be able to get up. Where is a neutralising move? I mean, he's still getting up. Second, at that speed, your opponent will be sloppy after the first attack. Give your partner time to reset or else he's facing you off-balance, and what's the point then?
@ContradictoryNature the founder of aikido never ment to neutralise people in the sense that they dont get up again. that usualy implies severe damage or injury. he was not about that. there are plenty of other martial arts who excell in breaking limbs.
the founders idea was that after being tossed around a couple of times, most people will give up the fight. its painful enough to fall like a sack of potatos! also if met with lack of agression, most people will see their foly and quit fighting.
@CT2507 Interesting philosophy, and while I don't agree with it, I see its logic. I believe that when two human beings clash, there is a certain element of luck involved. When I see an aikido practitioner allowing an opponent to get up again, I see them rolling the dice. There's a possibility not being so lucky next time (not to demean their skill, but bad luck can happen). I like the idea of discouraging, not neutralising an enemy. Might work for a barfight. Still seems risky and difficult.
@ContradictoryNature again, dont underestimate how unpleasent it can be to be thrown, or how hard u get hurt. or have your wrist broken. cause thats what happens if u dont know how to roll with the technique like these guys are trained to.
but one could also just avoid bars and such places for the same reasons. i myself never go to bars, although i know how to fight, cause i dont want to get into situations where i must fight.
@CT2507 I don't disagree. Having done jiujitsu for several years, I've been thrown quite a lot, and not always on pads. So what do you do when you fight someone who can roll? Not too difficult to do, as the demonstration partner here shows. You don't need a black belt to be the example. You end up having to throw him eight or nine times. As for bars, I go to bars roughly once or twice a week, and have since I was 16. I've only gotten into one barfight. They're not as common as some people think.
@ContradictoryNature this is just to demonstrate to his pupils. he can also keep hold of the wrist but the point here these moves show what happens if you can use the momentum of opponent against him/her rather than face it equal or greater momentum from yourself. aikido is not a means to breaking someone its a means to touch someones inner self.
@ContradictoryNature An Aikido practitioner need not let the attacker get up again; the art has many joint locks and pins. The art is meant to be compassionate. The difficulty you reference is in learning how to do it well. Recommend you check out this video to get a taste of the aiki spirit: "Apres la pluie - Akira Terao - duels au boken"
@JimAndRuby A terrific video, thank you for pointing it out to me. The compassionate attitude is very noble, and a very commendable trait in any martial artist. Personally, I find that in effective self-defence, a certain amount of mercilessness is necessary. The man capable of compassionate and safe self-defence is truly exceptionally skilled. In the near future, I'll have to rely on ferocity to make up for a lack of years spent perfecting techniques. An opinion, no more valid than any other.
@ContradictoryNature I can certainly see wanting/needing to dial things up, depending on the situation. I have various years of training in percussive styles, but only 6 years in Aikido. I'd like to think if someone surprises me that I'll take a more Aikido approach to quashing the threat, but if something completely unexpected happens, it's entirely possible that older training might kick in (as rusty as it may be).
@ContradictoryNature Also, I don't know whether it's due to Aikido or old(er) age, but I'm much more relaxed now doing randori than I used to be, and arguably I've never been this relaxed when doing the (more or less) equivalent of 'freestyle sparring' in other styles. Prior styles have encouraged the fierce face; not so in Aikido, or at least our dojo. A senior student tells of needing to unlearn the 'kabuki face'; can be difficult to separate 'fierce' from 'relaxed'.
The reason why aikido is taught to the police in Japan has a lot to do with body size. Not everyone is a big macho guy, but if you can anticipate you and your opponents center of gravity you can grab them by effectively using their momentum. It also really helps to learn the human anatomy, especially about joints. If you know where to grab and how, you can force them to shift their center of gravity and they will fall. Just try grabbing someone's pinky and twist your arm.
@lynviking. .i have a decade of Isshinryu, and 2 years on and off of Bujinkan. I also had the same skeptisizim of Aikido as yourself. However when we as students of ANY art criticize another out right have not learned proper peace of mind and humility. I tried out Aikido myself and learned quickly why im of humble mind..I assure you that the techniques are sound against any street fighter, or trained martial artist, ect.remember humbleness, and peace lest we have learned nothing!
Just so people are clear, i didnt mean to say he has no martial art at all, he clearly has some Akido training there, and Im sure hes very good at redirecting energy, but some things that you see, are a case of preconditioning. In other words, if he faced a person who had no clue who he is and what he does, he wouldn't gett the same results from his moves that he showed here. Simple Physics really.
Its hard to say this without insulting people, but theres a reason why you dont know what hes doing and cant lear it or ever see it in MMA. The reason is cause its IS NOT martial arts. Hes basically preconditioned his students to react a certain way when he does something, its a bit like those Preachers you see on tv that can heal people . They touch people on their heads and they swoon over, cause of social compliance and preconditioning. The mind is a powerful tool.
@preko1969 its really more about historical aikido is about swordsmanship the techniques are formerly with sword and are adapted to hand to hand. if you have just cleaved your opponent in halve they aren't doing anything. for real life application actually there are a couple uses to turning away first multiple opponents second you can really lock someone up from inside there reach. now its true they might have a weapon. notice how he never leaves his back turned to the uka(attacker)s hands.
@preko1969 If you cannot understand it, it means that that is a hole in knowledge that you need to approach. Don't discount it, see if there is something that might help you. I spent years studying Kenpo. When I entered an Aikido dojo it was like learning a new language. My first response was to defend, assault, attack with no mercy. The instructor had to take me aside and talk to me about breaking old habits. It can be done, but you have to understand it is a major break from what you know
@thescheminggenius Been a long time since this post, but maybe you might be interested in this: /watch?v=BbUlvD0PaUg&feature=related - Gozo Shioda shared your thoughts, until he went and faced the master.
@preko1969 The technique is good if your anticipation is perfect.Shioda Gozo is a great grand master,it's difficult to understand such techniques,we need to practice a lot...
@preko1969 i understand you,i practice since 31 years and i have met so many extraordinary people in martial arts, i can't say everything what i see because people would not believe me;)But the most important is to find what we really want.
@preko1969 I don't need to justify it, the video does that for me. Anyone with even the most basic training can identify a charlatan when he sees one. Attempting to defend this fakery, without justifyiong it, is just pure ignorance. Sorry, this is MY humble opinion.
@prickelyheat "bit like chi ?" Better write "Qi" instead auf "'chi". In modern transcription "chi" (IPA [tʂi] )means "to scold somebody". Qi (IPA [tʃi]) is better. Apart from that. That wasn't Aikido. That was a hoax.
@GaolisVideoLog Don't knock what you haven't felt yourself. Shioda may make it look easy, but these are highly technical and advanced techniques. If they were not effective he could hardly pretend to teach Aikido to riot police.
@GaolisVideoLog u are a hoax! what good does it do u to know the difference between how to spell the word qi and chi, if u think Gozo was a hoax. then u know nothing about the real aikido. have never felt the effects of chi in your life and are just a intellectual snob pretending to know martial arts. u are the fake here.
@vnj4x internal energy has no relation with manga and Dragon ball z and things like that ...it's not like that ! internal energy is when you focus your strength, when you use the muscle of your body as you want , so that you get the top of theire capacitys, remember this...aikido isn't like yellow bamboo or kiai ! xD
I trained under the Master Gozo Shioda live in student, Mori Sensei, who teaches in Brisbane, Australia. I visited head dojo in Japan. In my many years, let me say that a master of Aikido is amazing, deadly but yet soft as water. Takes a lot of training to gain such sensitivity.

Saying someone isn´t skillful without justifying it, isn´t the right way - it´s only Trolling around!!! Sorry, this is my humble opinion.
Peace!

@preko1969 I don't need to justify it, the video does that for me. Anyone with even the most basic training can identify a charlatan when he sees one. Attempting to defend this fakery, without justifyiong it, is just pure ignorance. Sorry, this is MY humble opinion.

No,Aikido is the work of the internal energy.

ahh ok, bit like chi ?
prickelyheat 2 years ago
@prickelyheat Yeah, ki is chi in japanese. Aiki means blending energy, and kiai means energies clashing.
TheKaamos123 2 years ago
@prickelyheat "bit like chi ?" Better write "Qi" instead auf "'chi". In modern transcription "chi" (IPA [tʂi] )means "to scold somebody". Qi (IPA [tʃi]) is better. Apart from that. That wasn't Aikido. That was a hoax.

@GaolisVideoLog Don't knock what you haven't felt yourself. Shioda may make it look easy, but these are highly technical and advanced techniques. If they were not effective he could hardly pretend to teach Aikido to riot police.

@GaolisVideoLog u are a hoax! what good does it do u to know the difference between how to spell the word qi and chi, if u think Gozo was a hoax. then u know nothing about the real aikido. have never felt the effects of chi in your life and are just a intellectual snob pretending to know martial arts. u are the fake here.

@vnj4x internal energy has no relation with manga and Dragon ball z and things like that ...it's not like that ! internal energy is when you focus your strength, when you use the muscle of your body as you want , so that you get the top of theire capacitys, remember this...aikido isn't like yellow bamboo or kiai ! xD
