You're a joke..obviously these idiots think aikido is dancing..if u do the techniques right it aint dancing..aikido will really hurt you..shame that more people can't see that but they'll change their mind once an aikidoka kicks their ass
Im for Argenitna im 2nd dan i have a lot of friends they practice aikido ans also dance tango any one of them is good in aikido, and this video is a disgrace for aikido, is many people those day not practicing aikido like it really ia a MARTIAL ART
WoW:) I love Aikido and this video is great:D. Watching aikido is always fun::) Nice,.... the nicest martial art:D And congrats for the music it is awesome:D
So sieht es aus, wenn 2 sehr geübte Aikidōka miteinander Trainieren.
Trotzdem sollten man nicht glauben, dass die zum Spaß fallen und rollen. Das ein oder andere abklatschen wird auch ein Zeichen gewesen sein, dass der Hebel sitzt.

@tubetubetube Ah ah ah! you're right! I don't want offend who blindly believe in aikido, but according to me this is the only "street application" it have!
na komm, trau dich, schau dir das von vorne bis hinten an, ich bin mir sicher, dass du das aushalten wirst. immerhin hast du, wenn du aikido "kapiert" hast, auch ne menge toleranz eingeatmet. lass alles durch, so wie du es gelernt hast, und dann schreib noch mal, wie du das alles findest. das könnte uns helfen, weißt du?und dann schreib noch, was aikido mit krieg zu tun hat. danke!
@ilovetocook48 Der kriegerische Aspekt in den Kampfkünsten hat heutzutage kaum noch eine Bedeutung, der große Unterschied zwischen den Kriegern vergangener Jahrhunderte und modernen Kampfsportlern besteht nunmal darin, dass wir dieses Können weder in Kriegen brauchen noch dazu ermutigt werden Kampfkünste aktiv gegen andere Menschen anzuwenden.
great moves, great fun watching it. Oh warte mal, ihr kommt aus Berlin, oder? brauch ich ja kein Englisch.^^ Sehr tolles Video. Danke dafür. Wenn ich mal in Berlin bin schau ich gerne rein.
I love Aikido. At an Aikido party, I met and danced with a guy who trains ballroom dancing. He recommended I learn dancing because the dancer is aware of muscles that one otherwise would never think to use.
it is very sad to see people, in century 21, excluding the possibilities of the body of the human being. Aikido is a art-martial one, however as any other type of fight, is possible to transfer to the dance, therefore the two deal with the movement of the body. If we saw a kata of karatê and play a music,i have sure that we will see a dance and not a fight...
i´m Argentinian and i practice aikido, even i find this a little wierd XD... fun fact: originally Tango was dance only by men... until they realiced that was much sexier to do it with women xD!!!
What a shit. Im practising aikido and it doesnt look like that stupid dance. I give them 2 minutes on the streat. Aikido is a martial art not a dance -_- understand it and start to train seriously
People have been equating aikido to dancing for some time and some practitioners, that are presumably more experienced than you, decided to come out of the closet at last. Stop being in denial and realize that there is no martial in aikido any more, if there ever was.
Yes, there is martial art in aikido but people like you try to told people that it is dance or something like that. I dont know how you train but my aikido looks like martial art
Sorry but my aikido dont look like dance. I know that there are many tehniqes that doesnt work at the streat but they are very often train our timeing and strenght of our hips and body. I've used some of aikido techniqes on the streat and I know that it can be dangerous
Your aikido do look like dance, especially the demonstrations that are supposed to demonstrate its effectiveness. A martial art is not so much about techniques as it is about training methods and aikido has freagin' lousy training, against compliant opponents. There are so many aikido practitioners, yet there is no proof of it working against someone resisting. Nothing, but compliant demonstrations and anecdotes of streEt effectiveness. People like me say put up or SHUT UP.
When I read your reply there are two ideas inmy head- You are information scientist and you are learning aikido from the internet or you exercised aikikai-the wors aikido system that i saw. Every aikido system is better and more deadly than that old and unusefull system
Actually, yes, the style of aikido I have been exposed to was aikikai and I have only heard accounts of other styles from friends or through videos.
I have heard good things about shodokan/tomiki aikido since they spar, even if in a bizzare aikidoish way and yoshinkan, mainly for its harsh training that usually involves a good amount of conditioning and resistance.
Still, you are using an excuse and a pretty lame at that, blaming the very origin, in order to avoid providing actual evidence.
If one doesn't feel rhythm, he cant understand Aikido.
After years of Kyokushin (full-contact kick-boxing) I really find difficult to let my body become more "fluid". This method might help. I will propose it to my own Aikido teacher.
But I do believe, though, an old traditional Japanese teacher would have a heart attack seeing this.=)
B-t-w, dont mind people over criticizing: Theyre most probably single minded teenagers.
By Steven Seagul you mean the douchebag that was mistreating his stuntmen and ended up getting chocked unconcious(which, some say, led to him shitting his pants) by the judoka Gene Lebell?
hi - as mentioned a long time ago, this is no particular style - just an impro on tango music. glad you like it, you got some amazing stuff on your page, too!
I understand you pointo of view, bakathirteen, but isn`t it for this situations you described what irimitenkan and atemi are made for? Anyway, this should be my last post about this video. Just for the record, although I don`t agree with this point of view, I respect Ross`s Sensei intentions.
You know, you'd be surprised how effective a combination of dance and martial arts works. Use the dance techniques for dodging and weaves in case an opponent gets too close, and use the martial arts to whoop your opponent.
Ok you stupids...he´s teaching and NOT fighting...aikido is surviving technique and NOT a fight to front MMA or jiujitsu bullshit in the ring or octagon...wake up....
I've seen in youtube an aikido master with one hand in a real fight with a karate fighter. They were equal, believe me! It was not a demonstration...Aikido I believe is good, but there is a problem: in a real fight the enemy will not dance around you like during the demonstrations neither will fall down so easy. You gotta be really good in it to apply it outside...
Then again, any martial art is effective against the common man that decides to attack. The difficulty comes when two martial artists fight. Common man have no chance against aikido, capoera, kick boxing, box, karate, whatever.
Remember that what u see here in youtube about aikido are mostly demonstrations between aikidokas. If it didn't look like that there could be broken wrists, elbows and sholders everywhere. I too think aikido has a lot of fancy moves but when u cut to the basics it is really useful like any other martial arts. If u are a martial artist and u try fancy moves in a fight u probably will lose the fight. Stay with the basics and u will be OK.
Ray Charles once said," Music is so big, there's room in it for everyone." Surely this is true for martial arts too.This is very elegant, controlled and fluid; I find it fascinating to watch and extremely funny because everyone there shares the joke. What a pleasure to see something truly different.
These guys flow like water, no? Especially the guy in black.
I personally doubt that aikido would be effective in a real fight. It's too placid and peaceful. Also, you have to unlearn the very instinctive movements that we as humans have evolved to act on, such as kicking and punching. That's why it takes so long to learn this style. But it is beautiful to see!!!Poetry in motion.
Hmmm,yes I have a friend who 'punches in aikido. Not very effectively I might add. Because they dont specialise in that field. Sorry to say. Im aware of hombu and iwamaru styles.
NO, of course. Look I thnk Aikido is beautiful to watch, but I dont think (other than master instructors) that its effective to the average person. It doesnt flow naturally with regards to learning it unlike other styles. It officially takes up to 20 years apparently to know how to react mechanically. WHereas if you took up karate or kick boxing, you'd be pretty good in under 2 years. Big difference
There are strikes in aikido...they are called atemi...closed fist or open hand...it is used to get the uke out of balance OR to strike a deadly blow...
Unfortunately most aikido people don't train in proper striking and so the art is largely misunderstood. O Sensei said aikido is done with atemi, Saito said the same thing, Nishio says to do all techniques with the feeling of atemi. What we're seeing here is some nice flowing exercise, and there's some benefit to that. For example: speed bag doesn't make you a great boxer, but it's an essential part of the training. Take this kind of demonstration for what it's worth. No more - no less.
this ain't takemusu aiki, that's why it's too placid and peaceful and it wouldn't work in a real fight. but those aikidoka wouldn't really move like that in a real fight anyway. takemusu aiki however is meant for real fights
I agree - it is about the "center" and it can fit nicely with music. But, we must be careful about making Aikido into dance only. I've been to some dojo in California where they do "flow and glow" Aikido to music. I must say that Aikido is also built on rythmn and tempo/beat just like music. But all good martial arts must have that element.
I forgot to mention Tango is Argentine Tango, not ballroom tango which is not natural. Argentine Tango is probably the most difficult dancing and it can be improvisable, but choreographed ballroom dancing on TV can not.
I am from Tokyo and I did practice Judo, Karate(Uechiryu) and Kendo when I was a kid.
Thanks. I am familiar with Argentine Tango. I'm not a big fan of Ballroom dance. It requires skill, but their Latin dances don't look like anything a Latin would really do and their Jitterbug doesn't look like real Jitterbug. Also, I look like crap in see-through shirts!
1. Like Aikido, tango has a lot of circular motions but no knockout like martial arts. It is a tool of seduction. Since tango consists of natural circular motions, you can find 70-years-old professionals like Aikido does. As you get older, you could continue to improve your skills. Ballroom dancing has retirement, because it is a competition defined by British to pursue their own ideal styles.
2. Tango is the only music which is based on two beats although most of music are three or four beats and above. This is why most of music can be danced in Tango style. Human being is the only mammal which walks in two feet. This could indicate that tango can be related to fundamental human instincts.
The only thing "tango" in this film is the music. What I see is Aikido. It doesn't have to be fast. Nage has the responsibility of matching uke's speed, which he is doing here. The fluidity they both display is outstanding. My sensei had us do this kind of practice of flowing freeform through a series of techniques, without losing contact and without the music.
all its doing is showing how Aikido and "The Tango" (which is a dance for you uneducated people) can be thrown together. Its not so much a dance vrs martial arts vid, more of a combination of the two
giuseppeprofumo you should educate your self about this wonderful martial art, but what i see is a puor ignorant writting shit in this site, you idiottttt!!!!!!
Aikido is a living art and every Aikidoka should keep this in knowledge, while finding out, which is his or her way.
Everyone, who thinks, that Aikido has to work in Streetfight, didn't really understand what "avoiding a fight" means. Streetfight is not interessting, as soon, as a 9mm Parabellum is your opponent.
This video shows exactly, what Aikido should be. It should be communication between two "loving" partners.
One of O Sensei's main commands for training was "Aikido should always be practiced in a joyful loving manner" or something to that extent, and I think these men are doing just that.
don't make me laugh... or cry. O Sensei developed his Way, and his Way is a Way of the Warrior, a BUDO, and even if Aikido could seem like a dance, it's NOT!!It's a fucking self defense martial art with great spiritual concepts. I can say that again...that's NOT what AIkido is meant to be
I'm not the one who said Aikido should be practiced happily, O Sensei did, you can look it up yourself. When you think about O Sensei's character, how kind he was to everyone, it makes sense that he would say something like that.
Something this weird can only be inspired by a Japanese martial artist. The man in black has no misgivings about going to "close embrace". Kind of a lot weird.
Tranquillo ho visto di molto peggio. La maggior parte dei video di aikido purtroppo sono pessimi. Oltre a O sensei alcuni video di Aikido seri sono quelli di Tohei, Saito, Seagal...
wow. I practice aikido and even I find this pathetic to the highest possibility. This makes people forget this is a MARTIAL art (military art) and not a fucking dance. by forgetting that, you're basically telling O'Sensei to fuck off.
I think that any martial art can be used as a dance or health promoting exercise although if i wanted to dance i would do cappoeira and health thai chi/qiqong.
This video is just a demonstration but on the other hand im starting to think that maybe practising aikido with music might be a good way to better my kokyo-nage. Any oppinions about that?
ha! only if uke falls on his arse in a non choreographed manner and the tori's technique is ultimately effective.
The attitude in this video is too whimsically and by the looks of it, it was giving a demonstration to first time on-lookers. the thought of people judging Aikido as a joke or a gay dance is most disturbing.
I understand but im tired how other pimply faced closed minded a-holes think they got the world in their hands by probably winning a few closely regulated ring match and having a bloated sense of self accomplishment by putting down others.
and by the way, by 'gay' i meant 'happy' lol. i have no idea wat hitori waza is but im assuming it has a homosexual connotation about it.
What style of aikido do you practise? Maybe hitori-waza dosent exist in all styles... however hitori-waza has nothing to do with homosexuality. In ki-aikido hitori-waza is something like "moving exercises" (hard to explain but it can look allitle corny).
wonderful! ;DDD

But it is beautiful to see!!!Poetry in motion.

Who said kicking and punching is not Aikido? Maybe kicking is not very much used, but punches yes.
charyuop 3 years ago
Hmmm,yes I have a friend who 'punches in aikido. Not very effectively I might add. Because they dont specialise in that field. Sorry to say. Im aware of hombu and iwamaru styles.

A punch in Aikido is not supposed to knock you out, that wouldn't be what an Atemi is for.
charyuop 3 years ago
NO, of course. Look I thnk Aikido is beautiful to watch, but I dont think (other than master instructors) that its effective to the average person. It doesnt flow naturally with regards to learning it unlike other styles. It officially takes up to 20 years apparently to know how to react mechanically. WHereas if you took up karate or kick boxing, you'd be pretty good in under 2 years. Big difference
Domzdream 3 years ago
you don't learn to punch in aikido. You learn how to defend against punches, no Aikidoka would use a punch as a defense.

There are strikes in aikido...they are called atemi...closed fist or open hand...it is used to get the uke out of balance OR to strike a deadly blow...
PaoloPaolo49 3 years ago
Unfortunately most aikido people don't train in proper striking and so the art is largely misunderstood. O Sensei said aikido is done with atemi, Saito said the same thing, Nishio says to do all techniques with the feeling of atemi. What we're seeing here is some nice flowing exercise, and there's some benefit to that. For example: speed bag doesn't make you a great boxer, but it's an essential part of the training. Take this kind of demonstration for what it's worth. No more - no less.

I agree with what was said about that atemi being both common and effective, but that aside.... how DO you learn to punch?

this ain't takemusu aiki, that's why it's too placid and peaceful and it wouldn't work in a real fight. but those aikidoka wouldn't really move like that in a real fight anyway. takemusu aiki however is meant for real fights

Orban8567 3 years ago
What a great idea!
Actually tango mechanics are very similar to martial arts. In my oppinion, (Judo+Aikido+Karate)/3 + music = tango. The point is about "center".
sf07creative 3 years ago
I agree - it is about the "center" and it can fit nicely with music. But, we must be careful about making Aikido into dance only. I've been to some dojo in California where they do "flow and glow" Aikido to music. I must say that Aikido is also built on rythmn and tempo/beat just like music. But all good martial arts must have that element.

I forgot to mention Tango is Argentine Tango, not ballroom tango which is not natural. Argentine Tango is probably the most difficult dancing and it can be improvisable, but choreographed ballroom dancing on TV can not.
I am from Tokyo and I did practice Judo, Karate(Uechiryu) and Kendo when I was a kid.
sf07creative 3 years ago
Thanks. I am familiar with Argentine Tango. I'm not a big fan of Ballroom dance. It requires skill, but their Latin dances don't look like anything a Latin would really do and their Jitterbug doesn't look like real Jitterbug. Also, I look like crap in see-through shirts!

1. Like Aikido, tango has a lot of circular motions but no knockout like martial arts. It is a tool of seduction. Since tango consists of natural circular motions, you can find 70-years-old professionals like Aikido does. As you get older, you could continue to improve your skills. Ballroom dancing has retirement, because it is a competition defined by British to pursue their own ideal styles.
sf07creative 3 years ago
2. Tango is the only music which is based on two beats although most of music are three or four beats and above. This is why most of music can be danced in Tango style. Human being is the only mammal which walks in two feet. This could indicate that tango can be related to fundamental human instincts.
sf07creative 3 years ago
The only thing "tango" in this film is the music. What I see is Aikido. It doesn't have to be fast. Nage has the responsibility of matching uke's speed, which he is doing here. The fluidity they both display is outstanding. My sensei had us do this kind of practice of flowing freeform through a series of techniques, without losing contact and without the music.

Aikido is a living art and every Aikidoka should keep this in knowledge, while finding out, which is his or her way.
Everyone, who thinks, that Aikido has to work in Streetfight, didn't really understand what "avoiding a fight" means. Streetfight is not interessting, as soon, as a 9mm Parabellum is your opponent.
This video shows exactly, what Aikido should be. It should be communication between two "loving" partners.

One of O Sensei's main commands for training was "Aikido should always be practiced in a joyful loving manner" or something to that extent, and I think these men are doing just that.
2FatGuyz 4 years ago
don't make me laugh... or cry. O Sensei developed his Way, and his Way is a Way of the Warrior, a BUDO, and even if Aikido could seem like a dance, it's NOT!!It's a fucking self defense martial art with great spiritual concepts. I can say that again...that's NOT what AIkido is meant to be
xlins 4 years ago
I'm not the one who said Aikido should be practiced happily, O Sensei did, you can look it up yourself. When you think about O Sensei's character, how kind he was to everyone, it makes sense that he would say something like that.

lol. maybe. although the doshu did specifically state that "this shouldn't be taken as a dance or a health promoting exercise."
Ferret2YourFace 4 years ago
I think that any martial art can be used as a dance or health promoting exercise although if i wanted to dance i would do cappoeira and health thai chi/qiqong.
This video is just a demonstration but on the other hand im starting to think that maybe practising aikido with music might be a good way to better my kokyo-nage. Any oppinions about that?
geting89 4 years ago 2
ha! only if uke falls on his arse in a non choreographed manner and the tori's technique is ultimately effective.
The attitude in this video is too whimsically and by the looks of it, it was giving a demonstration to first time on-lookers. the thought of people judging Aikido as a joke or a gay dance is most disturbing.
Ferret2YourFace 4 years ago
I have no problem if pepole think that aikido is a joke or gay dance because i know its a real martial art.
If you dont wanna let aikido be viewed as a "gay dance" then how abaout hitori-waza? Dosent that look "gay" sometimes?
geting89 4 years ago
I understand but im tired how other pimply faced closed minded a-holes think they got the world in their hands by probably winning a few closely regulated ring match and having a bloated sense of self accomplishment by putting down others.
and by the way, by 'gay' i meant 'happy' lol. i have no idea wat hitori waza is but im assuming it has a homosexual connotation about it.
Ferret2YourFace 4 years ago
They are just afraid of not being good enough.
What style of aikido do you practise? Maybe hitori-waza dosent exist in all styles... however hitori-waza has nothing to do with homosexuality. In ki-aikido hitori-waza is something like "moving exercises" (hard to explain but it can look allitle corny).
