very nice

Yokota Sensei is such an effective teacher because he can articulate into words his movements and emphasize what students need to focus on. He also has a good sense of humor.

It's not fake people. It's called Ukemi, the attackers in Aikido/Judo/Jujitsu all must learn how to properly fall 'ukemi'. Without Ukemi all the students would be hurt and never be able to train. Striking arts have there own version of ukemi as well. Kenpo and Muay thai for example have a whole part of there art dedicated how to take and throw a punch so you can have a partner to train with. Lastly, it should be noted that Aikido is the most widely taught martial art in law enforcement in US/UK.

@Tarc5150

as well in Japan and Australia. Now if it's so useless then why are so many policeman studying it. Take a class you will love it.

The interpreter is a joke.

[brentpieczynski]

@Derukugi2 Are you referring to a brief summary that missed the detailed explanation?

[Derukugi2]

@brentpieczynski

I am referring to the interpreter.

[krichanthebatman]

The translator for the sensei is seriously bad! I hope they don't employ him anymore...

jamie conley": This man in the video has been doing martial arts all his life...Aikido is a martial art derived from the Takeda clan during the samurai era...these techniques have been tested and have worked in the battle fields of Japan. You can stick to your usual mma/ufc crap but do not judge an art solely based on your youtube observation.

[Rakija76]

@aikiboy24 Man its useless can you explain to cave man a real art??? that's why This is martial ART and UFC is Ultimate FIGHT championship... "Margaritas ante porcos"

[SensieMax]

A very good blend of Aikido, Very Strong and functional. Aikido by the way is not about fighting...It's more than that...Defeat yourself first before you can truly say you can beat everyone. In a real fight it would be different...a blend of all including biting, clawing, poking and all dirty stuff you can think doing to harm. Harming is not AIKIDO's purpose.

[JamieConley09]

i will beat the hell outta everyone in this video, with that fake as crap, none of this crap would work in a real fight

[GaolisVideoLog]

@JamieConley09 I wouldn't say that. He's just explaining his techniques there. I know several Aikidoka in　Düsseldorf. And if they're actually gettin at it, they're pretty effective.

[Stoffel557]

@JamieConley09 What the fuck ever. And How many real fights have you seen? And youtube doesn't count fucknut.
