  • perhaps if we'd called it instead 'a POSSIBLE way of applying aikido principles to life' it might have helped. if so please hear it that way. i respect everyone's right to approach the art as they choose and seek from it what they will. when a kung fu teacher said, "aikido is no good for fighting." a friend said, "maybe but it's good for not-fighting."

    o sensei said, "winning means winning over the discord in your own mind"

    thank you for watching and sharing who you are

    peace

  • check out on youtube

    Aikido Shihan Robert Nadeau

    He was deshi to O Sensei

  • Aikido is for correcting your own mind.

    Winning means winning over the mind of discord in yourself.

    There is no enemy of love. There is no discord in love. Aikido is the realization of love.

    Aikido does not call relative affairs good or bad but keeps all beings in a constant state of growth and development and serves for the completion of the universe.

    Rely on Peace

    To activate your

    Manifold powers;

    Pacify your environment

    And create a beautiful world.

  • AIKIDO IN THREE LESSONS???? U joking right?

    Morihei Ueshiba himself, said once that it takes at least 10 years to learn the basic techniquees!

    If you are already a black belt (graduated by a non-McDojo) you should already know that it takes much more than watching an 1 minute video on YouTube to learn this noble art called Aikidô.

    Don't dishonour it with this video.

    Peace.

    P.S: Great ukemis! *-* Congrats!

  • @ruteisabelmendes

    appreciate your thoughts  and yes i heard he said something like

    irimi nage takes ten years and ikkyo takes a lifetime

    still

    i'd like to think you can begin applying the principles in your life from the first lesson

    and i think it made my life better from the first time i saw it

    best wishes

    "create a beautiful world"

  • Aikido in 3 steps is possible if you believe anything is possible. Like it is possible I can wake up in the morning on the moon on beach front property. Highly unlikely! It is video titles like this which give the art a bad name! But how many of you have really gone up a good aiki practitioner before? Not a wanna be but the real thing? Someone who knows what they are doing and how and when to do it will beat a loud mouth drunk bully most of the time. I have they were drunk, and it was fun. ; D

  • This is a load of crap aikido sucks. I take self defense but defently not this crap, I knew how to do that before I even thought bout self defense it's just my instinct. But watever ppl who have no idea how to fight take aikido and learn how to walk! ;)

  • id love to learn akido, at 37 though perhaps i am too old

  • @danw1374 Bullshit... 'the moment you embrace your limitations is the moment you start dying' Two and a half men quote :P Go learn it!

  • @danw1374 im 16 and i feel like shit for not doing this stuff--at least you dont hate yourself as much as i do. You can do it, go for it!!!

  • Fuck..... Fighting whitout center??? Where is your center between the moves? Thats not aikido, thats dancing for gays.... Really aikidoka or really men do not fight like that.... 3 fucking lesson????? I'm sure you took 5 lessons before you started to teach.... Aikido is a martial art, not just an art of self expression.... First you have to learn how to fight, if not, you will never know how not to do it :)

  • It's sad, that people don't understand what they are seeing in those Aikido demonstrations... YES, they ARE fake. Still, Aikido is incredibly effective. OF COURSE no opponent will roll like that (unless he is a trained Aikidoka, but then he wouldn't attack in the first place) - instead, he will have broken wrists or arms. The rolls are a technique to NOT GET HURT by your opponent. If someone doesn't know how to roll, they will simply get out of balance and fall, while getting their bones broken.

  • For my young children for please do not partake in the art of akido for it is not a legitimate fighting system for it is fake. For listen to me my young children for you can waste your whole life away with this phony nonsense for it is fake like WWE

  • @DOBERMAN7203 You know..you don't have to say "for" as every 3rd word...

  • @DOBERMAN7203

    Lol! Your not serious.......... Are you? I didn't care for the video either but Aikido is far from fake. The people that think it is fake have not experienced Aikido. It takes many years to actually be able to use it effectively. Anybody can take a year of Karate, MMA, Kung-Fu etc. and know how to fight better. Visit a dojo and ask the sensei to turn the throttle up, for you will see the error of your ways.

  • @BalanceNY Aikido IS a combat art. And IS very effective on the streets or in any fight because aikido is more than just throws and flips. Those are just the basics to get ur opponent unbalanced and in ur control. If you was to continue ur training you would learn about pressure points and easy but effective ways to break people's arms, elbows, knees etc.

  • @BalanceNY Aikido is BUDO according to O'Sensei so yes it should work in the streets. The change from jiutsu to do just means that the art should reflect one's way of living. The philosophy changes but not the martial effectiveness of the art must always be present. Otherwise it is not so different from a mere dance.

  • what 3 easy steps? do a fake punch, get touched and roll?

    i can do aikido :D

    fake punches.. and no one is gonna roll with you on the street.

    perhaps they would end up on their knees, grab you and take you down.

  • @TotesMagotes Yeah but each lesson is 3 or 4 years long.........

  • 3 easy lessons????

    Dammit!!! I've wasted 15 years on really hard training when I coulda just watched a video??? Life sux!

  • we are love moreiueshiba and we are his pupels

  • moonsensei in maastricht: introduction to aiki-dance

  • then you should see

    moonsensei in maastricht: introduction to aiki-dance

  • moonsensei in maastricht: introduction to aiki-dance

  • FAKE BULLSHIT

  • I have the actual DVD. Most of the ukes have zero skill in attacking. What's the point of training against attacks that, at the very worst, can mess up your hair?

  • @Brane91 - Aikido isn't a self defense art. Some people like to pretend otherwise, but look at the history of Aikido and see for yourself. Google search Aikido History and Black Belt and read the article in Black Belt Magazine.

  • what you are referring to as a dance is a specific exercise during which nage and uke touch palms and attempt to maintain contact through the entire sequence. It's PRACTICE.

  • @Brane91 Well it does seem like my teacher Shihan Robert Nadeau at direct student of founder Morihei Ueshiba has enjoyed this style of aikido. This is presented as one style of aikido.

  • Lol, what if someone tries to punch you instead of charging at you with there arms extended for you to grab?

  • LOL you can NOT learn Akido in three lessons. This style is for very high level martial artists.

  • You are right there Ateras! It takes years to perfect Aikido techniques.

  • hmmm... I wonder can anyone tell me is this a martial art or balet ??? for example try real aikido not meditation aikido because on the street nobody meditate

  • Pendryn you obviously don't have a clue. There is an opening in ANY attack that allows one to redirect the energy of an attacker - until you find the enlightenment of that truth you'll never understand , your comments reflect your lack of understanding

  • I don't like near any Aikido Dojo or have the flexibility as yet to travel with my newborn son...is it possible to learn some basics from this DVD? Would you have any suggestions if not?

  • it is just preying on the idea of becoming a Great Master... a real fight is something else, this is just pretense. martial arts nowadays are just an alternative aerobical training

  • Well becoming a master of any art starts with practice. This video is a small step in that process.

  • I am a pupil of Akidio. Ofcourse this video is not realistic it is a demonstration. I have used Akidio against brazilian jijutsu, tai kwion do, muay thai, and a few other combat arts. They do not move exactly where you want, but if you think fast, and bend their arm right, someone can be thrown fairly easy. Akidio mixed with brazilian jijutsu is extremely hard to beat. WIth throws to the ground and any hold or choke of brazillian jujistsu.

  • This is a training video, the actions have been slowed to show principals that a included in the full DVD

  • @Brandonrobocop

    so thats what aikido is about going around Challenging others and excepting Those silly Challenges

    to prove what point?

  • @Brandonrobocop The problem with mixing those two though is someone who is using boxing, muay thai, or even tai kwon do are going to stand in one spot (moving their feet of course) trying to strike at you. Which makes it difficult to use aikido to take down your opponent. NOT IMPOSSIBLE I'm not saying that but it does make it more difficult. That's why i would mix aikido with judo and then use bjj for ur ground game.

  • Aikido is extremely effective

  • No its not

  • all techniques shown in this video are totally unreal, if an attack is blocked - a serious attacker would not follow the movement but evade and/or change it.

    Nice theory but not an effective practice

  • I don't think the result in a real world application would be the same so in a sense you are right. The instructor and opponent are working together in unison for learning purposes, practice and the safety of the opponent. In a real world application the attacker would naturally resist and or try to change the direction of the attack. But by doing so this would result in a sever dislocation, broken limb or both.

  • Hey mate, try it :) U will follow the movement because u can't do anything else. If u dont follow, it's very painful.... U will automatically follow...

  • pero que es esto?!

  • About 15 years ago while visiting the Bay Area, I had a chance to attend a class taught by Richard Moon. It was one of the most fascinating, bewildering classes I have even taken. A great teacher and a powerful Aikidoka.

  • searh "comkaijudo"

    for more aiki vid.

  • Three easy lessons...hmmm I guess I've been wasting 18 years of my life. I still don't understand everything, I'll just have to waste the rest of my life training. (Darn!)

  • Ahh no no, you don't understand. There are 2 paths to the way of harmony, one is through years and years of learning and understanding, the other is 3 easy lessons.

    You just took the longer path.

    >_>

    (Kidding, for all you serious Aikidoka who think I'm a wingnut) :P

  • lol, retarded video title i agree

  • Aikido takes YEARS of practice.

    You will never learn aikido in 1min. video.

    Even the basics.

  • true

  • Absolutely agree with it. This art needs to be performed really a lot. Much longer than other arts to be really effective. But then, it is big source of power

  • There is no way you could learn Aikido in "three easy lessons"

  • i have used verbal Aikido to make a sell in business. so i can say its helped me in many aspects of my life

  • when enraged individuals attack you the are ungrounded and out of balance and will actually become air born in a Aikido projectile move.

  • For everyone information, much of the footage her as been slowed down during the editing so you can see what is happening with the people. The speed of the attacks allow the blending and throw to happen.

  • why do the people fly around when he just touchs them?

  • bcuz if they dont they will end up with a broken wrist, elbo, leg, knee, ankle and neck. dependin on the technique. but a better way to understand this is to have one of those techniques used on you a few times and u too will b rollin around tryint o save ur limbs. lol i hope u understood?

  • There are better ways out of it than jumping. Some people are actually able to perform the throws without breaking, though the opponent doesn't fly like a kite when the throws are truthfully and correctly done. Aikido is a practice full of dishonesty in this way.

  • Don't forget the people being thrown have to consider doing ukemi waza, otherwise their fall would be painful.

  • In the rare situation that anyone is thrown in an aikido class.

  • because they feel sorry for him, so they make him happy fly around so he can feel powerful lol

  • look at Excellent Aikido Demonstration too

  • The symbol of Aikido

    合 - ai - joining, harmonizing

    気 - ki - spirit, life energy

    道 - dō - way, path

  • if u think aikido is not effective just take one look at morihiro saito!!

  • if you think a gun is not effective put a .45 to your head and pull the trigger.

  • i never said a gun wasnt effective i said mr saitos aikido is.lol what are u talking about u inept moron

  • it was a bit of humor, and personal advice which you clearly didn't take, oh well, didn't hurt to try.

  • I FEEL SORRY FOR U

  • In Judo, Greco-Roman wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu you see fighters spending huge amounts of effort trying to control each other's wrists. But at the 5 second mark you can clearly see the uke offering his wrists with absolutely no resistance. In fact you can see it all over this video. The aikido response is typically that the uke has to be thrown to avoid injury. But does the uke have to offer his wrist to avoid injury?

  • yeah its like dancing on ice!

  • why does this remind me of dancing :D

  • your own lack of comprehension would be a good answer...

  • Another possibility is that you're a bad dancer who causes your dance partners to hit the floor...

    I dunno.. I'm sure there are other possibilities.

  • One of the great books on aikido is "It's a Lot Like Dancing: An Aikido Journey" by Terry Dobson. Terry Dobson was one of the first american's who train with the founder of Aikido - O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba.

  • no offence but 0.53 to 0.55 they look like they were dancin

  • o m g so meany people dont no what the fuck they are going on about do the art then comment you nobs

  • Let em talk. It makes it that much sweeter to see the look of surprise on their faces when we use aikido on them.

    And don't forget to use judicious atemi. I love it when they say "But that's not aikido" while they nurse a bruise. Heheheh...

  • ...what is this...

    the guy was there with his hands in front of him just waiting for his opponent to throw himself towards him...look at the first few seconds of the video, you'll see what i mean..

    aikido is nice, sure, but all these videos of it on youtube are so lame! all of them, EVERY single one, is someone practicing aikido vs someone who has no idea what hes doing and just throws himself with his arms wide open towards him...it seems the art is only good against someone who cant fight..

  • his is correct i saw it too..

  • aikido is one of the most difficult martial arts, what do you mean by easy?

  • oh no thats howard

  • Is it realy by richard moon or is that a mighty boosh reference?

  • no way its mr bean

  • looks like they dancing to me

  • Aikido is not meant to be learned from a DVD but the principals presented here at a start of a conversation.

  • I think the aim of this DVD isn't to TEACH you Aikido in 3 lessons but giving you a better look at techniques and you may learn to apply when practising :P

    However, it's best to have your sensei guiding you what to do hehe.. I hope I'm not criticizing this video.

  • this is on itunes

  • Your real mature too....

  • I own this DVD. It is great in a meditational sense, in a sense of self-improvement, etc etc. Very nice and calming. Stuff about conflict resolution, it all makes good sense.

    However there's no martial Aikido shown in it. It's all Aiki-fruitcake crap. For instance in Aikido multiple attacker drill on DVD you can see they're not trying to attack him, they're trying to "miss" him. Thats not honest building of spirit... its just bullshit. The woman does look good though, whoever she is ;)

  • Three easy lessons.lol, I doubt it.

  • Oh good God... look at about :10.... She's grabbing his sleeve and he throws her full out... How friggin fake. This is why I hate traditional Aikido... Choreographed and phoney to the point that they don't realize some of it is totally unrealistic, just a bunch of dancing. *sigh*

  • Fake? When fighting an aikidoka he sure will have you dancing, but i guarantee it won't be fake.

  • thats what people said when it was first created and they challenged the aikidokas and lost

  • he's beating up on a girl...!!

  • HAHA!! You're right! He thinks to be invulnerable because he knows all that FAGGY TECNIQUES....But I've the IRON FIST!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

    RAM IT DOWN!! RAM IT DOWN!! SCREAM FOR THE VOICE OF THIS SOUND!!!!

  • i would like to see you fight an aikidoka.

  • she is learning for heaven's sake...

  • Chill, don't take me so seriously. Yeah, she is learning, learning to get beat up! ZING ZING!

  • The uke only get's hurt if the master wants too, and he clearly doesn't. And...oh was that a funny? You made a funny!!! very nice.

  • Ah voce e portugeis!? Maneiru!

  • LOL ya sou.

  • AI- unity,to joyn to become one with...

    KI- spirit, lifeforce; the essence of all...

    DO- the path or way; to become the will of the universe...

    the universe dose not fight itself!

  • i reallu think that aikido doesnt really involve on hitting your opponent, its more about dodging their hits..(and its a good way to keep my brother off of me ;))

  • i look at akido as a supplemental martial art to be good at fighting you still need to learn punches and kicks

  • aikido is not fighting...

  • What is it then????

  • AI KI DO.

  • ???

  • AI- unity,to joyn to become one with...

    KI- spirit, lifeforce; the essence of all...

    DO- the path or way; to become the will of the universe...

    the universe dose not fight itself!

  • haha allright! then i know

  • its an art of peace.

    peaceful reconciliation.

  • Me instead I'm for hate.

    Ask yourself why.

  • Beautiful lady to dance with ;)
