@antidoteco Correction, learn how to DEFEND YOURSELF.
Krav maga is a better defence system (on the short term). And Aikido takes years to master.
But Aikido has a strong philosophy (something KM, unfortunately, completely lacks) and you can still do Aikido when you're 60+. Krav Maga is a little too aggressive and explosive for that...
But if I just wanted to know some self-defence techniques, KM is the 'Martail Art' I'd choose though.
aikido is practical. my bouncer friend practises this, what most people dont realize is that aikido itself is part of aikijitsu. its specialty is against armed opponents. try take down with an armed opponent. cut your shoulder blades in two.
Having been the recipient of an attempt on my life by an armed attacker intent on taking my life, I can attest that you are simply wrong. The world slows down, your training takes over and with barely a thought and about 8 seconds of conflict, I disarmed my attacker, pinned them and struck them unconscious. Simplicity IS power.
rocks in the drive..."all the little things" naturally, the good write, it does wait patiently, first with 10 on the desk, that the rocks-good move in harmony, on right, to study the pebbles, patiently sovergn patience, is weak opposite strong, that jovial I free my thumb, and the worshiped dan still MOVES IN COUNTER, a cherished voice from the land, "jitsu-strong!"
Most teachers and students never learn that Aikido training is not so much about the techniques, but, learning Ukemi correctly. Learning to follow the flow of another body then reversing it. Very hard to learn.
@theawakener. If u think Aikido is bullshit go down to ur nearest aikido dojo, or better yet come to mine... Ill be happy to watch ur ass get beat down from a guy with a skirt on.
Aikido looks fake. Anyone know any Aikido schools in the Denver area? I'd like to go see for myself. I'm currently training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I know the techniques I learn in BJJ class are applicable to the real world.
i would have to agree...i do bjj and mma and i know both of these are applicable in a real situation....im not sure how successful even a master at aikido would be at catching my wrist if i were really trying to hurt them
Plenty of Aikido in Denver, both traditional and sport/resistance oriented. Look up Sensei Seiji Tanaka of the JAA/USA or Dave Nettles, also of JAA/USA.
In BJJ, when we do a take-down we land on our feet and not our knees, then we slide to our knees. My goal would be to throw you, choke you while standing up, or if I do take you down I would want to be in the mount raining punches. BJJ is very physical and not for people who are afraid of a few cuts and scratches.
you bjj people are actually deluded in a real street fight where your fighting for your life if you can't run then you have to go for their eyes/groin/throat/ears as efficiently as possible.
well there isnt a single video or article on the internet that shows a bjj person meaning to use those moves whatsoever so maybe you dont knwo anything about BJJ.
Is that a serious question? You don't see BJJ practitioners eye gouging each other on the internet so you think in a street fight it couldn't happen? Why try to fish hook someone when you can choke him out or break his arm, leg or shoulder? I don't think you've ever been in a street fight.
i dont think you've ever been in a street fight either but i know that your stupid for thinking that breaking an arm or a leg is going to be easier and more effective than simply eye gouging/c-grip choke/ groin ripping e.t.c. anyway those moves arent even part of bjj so now your not making sense.
yes i probably know far more about martial arts than you do just look at the amount of martial arts videos i've faved and the time period in which i've done so and that gives you some indication. you obviously do bjj thats why your defending it so desperately.
You say you know more about martail arts than I do, then you say I probably do BJ- which I do. So which is it? I can tell from your comments that you don't know anything about BJJ at all. Wy don't you do some research on BJJ instead of posting nonsense.
Go do some research on BJJ. You obviously don't know anything about it. I'm going to explain this once again for you, as simply as I can. You commented that you think you know more than I do about martial arts- in that same post you also commented that you think I practice BJJ (which is a martial art) So you're saying I actively practice a martial art yet you still know more than I do about martial arts- this is a moronic and illogical statement.
i have done 'research' on bjj they don't do street moves unlike silat/kajukenbo e.t.c.
'So you're saying I actively practice a martial art yet you still know more than I do about martial arts- this is a moronic and illogical statement.'
what you just said there makes you the stupid person (ever thought i might have done 2 years tkd... not that it matters anyway). maybe you do know more about ma (doubt it) but one thing certain is that i'm more all round more intelligent than you.
You're ignorant on the subject of BJJ, yet you pretend otherwise and when shown otherwise you reject the truth- that is by definition ignorant behavior- therefor you're an ignorant person. If you were an intelligent person you would admit that you're wrong and educate yourself, yet you won't do that. Learning any PRACTICAL Martial Art will give you an edge in a street fight because you'll know some basic moves + have some experience with being in a physical confrontation. Anyone can eye gouge.
your not even responding to what i've actually said in my comments. everything in that comment was so wrong it was pretty much a lie which i wont bother to correct. so end of convo.
are you trying to annoy me, i can refute everything you've said but it's so wrong it would take me too long. for example you said 'Learning any PRACTICAL Martial Art will give you an edge in a street fight because you'll know some basic moves' that is simply wrong because if you learn a martial art move which isnt good for a street situation then you wil ldo worse in a street situation. there's some logic for you and theres a lot more like that which you've said.
I said, "PRACTICAL" martial art- that means the moves work in real life. A basic front kick is effective on the street and in a dojo- all practical martial arts moves are, that's why you refer to them as practical. I think you have basic reading problems.
@jakesilv Every style has its weakness. Aikido BJJ, Goju, Shotokan, Judo Hapikido, etc.. Aikidos principles are very good for multiple attacks. Multiple attackers is not a strenght of BJJ. Do i really want to be on the ground fighting mutliple attackers. Or do I want to be on my feet where I am more mobil and can strike repositions. (behind my attacker) Use him as a shield etc. etc. etc.
@abenice I really don't believe Aikido could be effective against multiple attackers, I would say boxing, Muay Thai and some wrestling would be your best bet. I don't believe Aikido to be an effective form of self defense, I see it as more a tool for self development and fitness.
The locks throws and pins from aikido where taken from Jujistsu and at higher levels of Aikido that do ground fighting. the same concepts and principles for stand up grapple are the same for being on the ground. the only difference is how there are applied. There are some aikido techniques in almost every style I have used it and it work well. GOju, Hapido, Judo, Jujitsu, shotokan, Kempo, etc. etc. etc.
@jakesilv have you took the time to study at a dojo or are you just basing your opinion from watching a video. Go to a dojo and ask question from a quality instructor. Every style has weakness aikido BJJ Goju, Shotokan, etc.. But fighting multiple attackers is Aikido strength.
@abenice Yes, I've fought more than one person at a time, I used boxing to strike and move and basic wrestling to keep from being taken down. Had I been taken down I would have used BJJ to injure an attacker and get back to my feet. Nothing you;ve said contradicts any of my points-
@jakesilv Getting you to contradict yourself is not my point but like you said you didn't use BJJ in your altercation neither did I. My point is that fighting multiple attackers is not BJJ strength its more for one on one altercations. That is not to say that it isn't practical just like all styles has its limitations.
Aikido has basic wrestling or as what I call standup grappling that is why it works well what it is lacking is basic striking. lol
@abenice - Claiming an art to be effective against multiple attackers is a pretty big claim- I mentioned BJJ not because it is designed to fight multiple opponents, because it is not, but because you were characterizing the art incorrectly, I believe you called it rolling around on the ground? Unlike Aikido, BJJ is useful for real fighting.
@abenice If you know BJJ and you are taken to the ground by an attacker, you will now how to get him off of you quickly and get up- thats the value of understanding how to fight on the ground. BJJ works both ways- and in reality most fights do go to the ground. If you are attacked by a group you are very likely to be taken down, its just too easy for multiple attackers to simply grab onto you and drag you to the ground. With BJJ, you'll know how to avoid take downs.
@jakesilv I have train in BJJ and when they take someone down or if they are taken down even when they win it usually takes minutes. As a law Enforcement officer and Correctional officer I had my fair share. They don't look like what people see on the UFC. NO criminal nor inmate is going to tap out. Thats why LE take you to the ground and put hand cuffs on on you. That is where that saying comes from "most fights go to the ground". its based off LE statistics.
@abenice You are lying about studying BJJ, or you're studying at a shit school. BJJ is all about POSITION. If you can't control position your BJJ is USELESS. Tournament BJJ is much different than street or even MMA, BJJ. Stop lying!
@jakesilv man makes the style the style doesn't make the man. Lastly I am speaking from experience as an officer of the law I am talking about multiple attacks in my case 3 Inmates. Your not talking to some clown my friend I been there I have the scars and the many reports I had to write to prove it (part of the job). I train with the gracies at many seminars and even rorion, royce, and bj penn agreed with me that BJJ is more for 1 one 1. question have you been attack by muliple attakers?
If you are attacked by a group and you are on the ground you have lost and you will probablly be killed. I have seen it too often. You can not allow lets say 3 guy attacking you to take you to the ground (by the way this happen to me while I was a Correctional officer!) You can only phyically fight one guy at a time. While you are mounted punching the other two are stomping your head in or shanking up with some sort of machief knife. You need to be mobile. Hit reposition hit
@abenice - You're missing the point- if you are taken down and you know BJJ you'll know how to get your attacker off of you! BJJ isn't just about taking people down- that's more wrestling- BJJ is about controlling the fight on the ground- either by taking a dominant position, applying a submission hold for damage or submission, or getting someone off of you so you can get away.
@jakesilv lol wrestling does the same thing buddy they just dont finish there oppenent lol. wrestlers know how to get their oppenent off them as well as controlling the fight while on the ground, but their weakness tradition is finishing their oppenent which is why royce gracie beat dan Savern. Dan didn't know how to finish his oppenent even though he dominated the fight for the most part.
@jakesilv I never said that Aikido allows you to hit move and hit, I do like aikido movement but if you read my past post i criticize aikido for not doing enough striking to set up their locks. Atemi as they call it or "vital striking" I don't study aikido anymore but I did study it for about 1 year and because I like their movement and their principles about protecting your center line which is where all your vital organs are which is very important to know when you talk about knife attacks
@abenice No thanks, I'd rather study an art that can be used for self defense. If you're interested in learning an art for self defense try BJJ and boxing, you'll get into much better shape, have better balance, quicker reflexes, you'll learn to roll/spar with FULL RESISTANCE, which is HUGE and LACKING in Aikido.
@jakesilv Likewise with aikido they need to incourporate more atemi as they call it. OR striking as I call it to set up there locks throws, pins.etc. Even on the ground armbars chokes, finger locks compression locks are set up by strikes the majority of the (as good as it is) And depending on your teacher I would say especially BJJ in certain situations. Take care and god bless
very good video liked this... I like the block you use alot in this video one of my favorite blocks in my style we call it tekubi kake my main style is karate but i have some experience of aikido too and this is good aikido.
No need to learn it unless you really want to know the full art. Police Defensive Tactics are based on Aikido and you will learn it in the academy as well as yearly inservice.
Oh I do really want to learn it completely all the way to 10th dan, and hopefully will. What I'm saying is I REALLY want to learn-for me BUT it'll also comE in handy in my future career.
We always measure Randori in time. We use time and we buy time. We use time when we move and do a technique and we buy time when we use on uke against another. Excellent display of this concept. I would LOVE to work with you someday, Gary.
There are no kicks in Aikido. The art is derived from sword and jitsu techniques. It is hard enough to remain grounded with BOTH feet on the ground, much less one. Also, Saotome Sensei said "It is rude to put your foot in someone's face."
There are times when a knee is used to finnish a throw or a pin.
I will have to say that in my aikido, I definitely use kicks. Sorry to contradict you, Deke, but I will use whatever works to lead and control my uke. Avoid, Control, Choose. Now, personally, I don't kick to people's heads, but that's just because I can't kick that high ;) Seriously, high kicks leave you vulnerable unless you are an extremely experienced kicker. A well-placed kick in randori has saved me numerous times!
Nice ukemi; you've got good students.

Great video, I REALLY want to learn Aikido.
It'll come in handy for my work as a police officer (a year away WOO!).

No need to learn it unless you really want to know the full art. Police Defensive Tactics are based on Aikido and you will learn it in the academy as well as yearly inservice.

Oh I do really want to learn it completely all the way to 10th dan, and hopefully will. What I'm saying is I REALLY want to learn-for me BUT it'll also comE in handy in my future career.

We always measure Randori in time. We use time and we buy time. We use time when we move and do a technique and we buy time when we use on uke against another. Excellent display of this concept. I would LOVE to work with you someday, Gary.

Hello I like Aikido and I have and I am wondering do you guys use your legs to defend yourself? I am sorry for the ignorance! thank you!

There are no kicks in Aikido. The art is derived from sword and jitsu techniques. It is hard enough to remain grounded with BOTH feet on the ground, much less one. Also, Saotome Sensei said "It is rude to put your foot in someone's face."
There are times when a knee is used to finnish a throw or a pin.
Footwork is very important, but not for striking.

Thank you! I think I want to practice this martial art!

I will have to say that in my aikido, I definitely use kicks. Sorry to contradict you, Deke, but I will use whatever works to lead and control my uke. Avoid, Control, Choose. Now, personally, I don't kick to people's heads, but that's just because I can't kick that high ;) Seriously, high kicks leave you vulnerable unless you are an extremely experienced kicker. A well-placed kick in randori has saved me numerous times!
