  • People should realize that Aikido isn't about "catching a punch" it's about redirection. On top of that, it doesn't matter if someone is a blackbelt or a whitebelt. Someone that knows anything of what they're doing isn't going to try and counter every blow. You move out of the way and wait for the right moment. You don't think about it you just feel it. That's like saying a boxer is going to counter every punch. Doesn't work that way for any art. If Aikido didn't work it wouldn't exist this long

  • I watched the masters video with all the multiple opponents running at him with both arms extended. Made me laugh. This shit is good against a strong retarted farmer with no fighting skills but against a real fighter who doesn't over-extend nor leave his punches or strikes out there but strikes and withdraws there is no contest.

  • look at his fist when he attacks. which idiot attacks like that, he would hurt his hand. you know what the problem is? they test their techniques like a swing or hook with an another aikido-ka. they should practice it with a real boxer and look if it then will work.

  • @SalahCreations you must think all aikido kas r stupid if am fighting somebody who is fast striker am not going to do that technique that's why you learn a bunch of techniques, they all are not going to work in every situation

  • It must suck for that same guy to be the test dummy in all the videos :| makes me glad i quit judo a long time ago lol I'm just looking for something good to learn so i can practice something.

  • hey sensei check your anatomy kidneys aren't at that height!

  • seriously guys stop trying to make aikido look stupid cause its not and you would wish to master it............ and its epic :)

  • when did o'sensei teach to choke?

  • oh for gods sake! look at :10 think you might have just set your feet in a way that lets your opponent clock you into next week with an overhand right?

    Or if you prefer you are also setting him up for a rear naked choke with his right arm!

    Learn some defense!

  • If he takes the pressure and apply it from his bycep with his back posture it's way more effective

  • it dos not need to. a properly applyed rear naked choke only takes 2-5 seconds for someone to go to sleep.

    what this dumbass did is NOT a properly applyed rear naked choke.

  • lol id just punch him in the back of the head after i swept his arm away im not into choking doesn't get me anywhere unless its a triangle

  • this technique can be modified to send him right to the floor

  • imo a rear naked is more effective than a triangle, althoe a triangle is way more dificult to get out of.

  • y have a problem whit timing. timing is about time. and aikido has nothing to do whit time. is about to flow. you dont move in the first or second moment. you move when the oponents ki try to crask into you'rs... so you dont move in the moment... but in the action. only feeling the ki flow.. and how to??? only training, not reading books, not seeng videos. since ki is not visible, and is something you feel. so it has no explanation. the only way is feeling and training really hard.

  • they look like chefs. LOL

  • ok but thats alot to do in a real fight. cant you limit ur movements by stepping to the out side and fallow his motion to a rear naked? for a more affective control of your opponite?

  • but when ur in a fight and u know how to do it it all comes down to muscle memory its happened to me and i do aikido

  • in a real fight u wont be able to catch a punch in mid air

  • "Aikido is a martial art that uses the opponent's momentum to defend against an attack and choke them."

    When did Ueshiba sensei say this??

    This shows a total ignorance of the reality.. as does posting choke and punch techniques on the net so young guys can hurt each other.

    This is not budo.

  • 2 finsh the choke u squeez your hands togther? is that right?

  • the left side of his face is open

  • yup, noticed that as well.

  • also Ueshiba didnt know how to call it. he use to atribuit to the gods of eart and heaven. he use to say tath the gods make him imbensible. because there is no explanation for wath you can feel. practice is the only way to achieve tath. other way it will became mechanical and taths not aikido. aikido is about ki. and ki is al about something we can toutch, see, smell, hear or explain. we have to feel it

  • yea your right but doing aikido does help because as u say its not about timing its about feeling you feel when your gonna get attacked

  • Comment removed

  • i hate when people talk about timing. because there is nothing to do with time. i think the best word to explain it is to feel. because you don know the time to react or move or the direction. trough practice you just feel all those things. and do them without really thinking on them. just feeling the flow of the motion or the atacker. also is the same with the balance.

  • well in response to some old comments, traditional martial arts has lost its conditioning if u go to a shoalin temple they condition constantly hence their good shape but if u go to a traditional school then their shape is usually questionable but i wouldnt count a guy out just because he has bad endurance becauase he could knock u out one punch

  • Expert village rocks. Keep making videos.

  • I wonder if it would be better to push your shoulder or chest into the back of his head cause his chin to teach his own chest as you take him down

  • Unclear.

  • You're still a little boy. Get back to me when you grow up.

  • Let me get this straight...you study 'combat sports'. And none of these so-called combat sports use any submissions or throws. I guess one strike from you just obliterates the enemy combatant. I've sat in on various schools, but they've never just let me work out with them. Sounds like your fibbing a little. There's various waivers you need to sign for the schools to avoid things like lawsuits, etc.. nicerebound you should stick to you namesake - basketball.

  • Like I said. Stay awhile and you'll find out.

  • Your attitude towards the martial arts sucks. Maybe you shouldn't just stop in at school. Stay for awhile, you may learn something. It's not just all about 'fighting'. Let me help you with your next witty retort: "Aikido has nothin' to do with fighting - so there!".

  • too bad its not something cool like fighting

  • Your welcome. I feel it's my calling in life to enlightened assholes like yourself.

  • maybe he just has a horrible diet or perhaps hes naturally fat and unathletic, sure would explain his choice in martial arts. i didnt mean to upset anyone im just curious about this mysterious art.

    i went to an aikido school the other day and the instructor there was also very fat, bizarrely enough he actually looked alot like this guy, but shorter. all the students were very unathletic too?? so odd. but im sure this stuff works, despite how lame and counter intuitive it looks.

  • thnx dood!!! sometimes its hard for me to keep up. so let me get this straight.

    hes doing it in slow motion to demonstrate...so hes not going to do it full speed obviously, not even at the end so we can see what it actually looks like cause that would give away the secrets of the art. and you dont want to give away secrets over the internet for all to see.

    but im also wondering why it looks so lame, and yes, why a martial arts instructor is so out of shape? i just though MA burns calories?

  • Once again for nicerebound: The demo is s-l-o-w (not unlike yourself) so people can see what's going on. Just the mere fact that you bring this point up shows your ignorance. But I forgive you.

  • This is for nicerobound. So what if the guy's 'fat'? Does that mean he can't be proficient at a martial art? What about Sammo Hung or whatever his name is? Or are you hung up on that muscular look with tats and a mohawk = bad ass fighter. Grow up or better yet pop in a Chuck Norris VHS tape. Retard.

  • i wish i could give myself negative ratings

  • william you are telling me you study kajukenbo aikido bjj and have dont lots of boxing and judo, and you still havent made the comparison and figured out that alot of your training is crap. you are either dumb or a liar

  • yeah, just like coaches draw up plays for offense, how to block & run, but they don't work very often like ya draw 'em on the board.. u take a real bare fisted brawler & he'll take these guys out fast!

  • I have fought for real and also have a Nidans in both Kajukenbo and Aikido and study Machado BJJ. I think those who get bored with the "slow" stuff have never been a student of anything, because the idea of INSTRUCTING is to SHOW someone HOW to Do something, so STOP being RETARDED and Please quit with the AIkido is for FAKES because I Have studied alot of Boxing and Judo... well AIkido has its place in the the world and a REALLY good one so grow up already, ...please.

  • that wasn't a great hook, but good.

  • i dont fight in bars anymore but i do fight in a cage. thats why losers like this piss me off, they give real martial artists a bad name. that and hes fat

  • Ninja:Damn Samurai!... lol

  • im gonna guess this guy rarely, if ever, gets past the slow motion part. its very obvious to anyone whos done real fighting. aikido is for fakes, plain and simple

  • shut the fuck up if your so god dam good at fighting then go fight you fuckin redneck piece of shit. bar fights make a man! if you dont care for it then stop watching the vid stupid doosh

  • BOGUS...totally fucking bogus. id love to throw a real hook at this guys, full force and not in slow motion, not telegraphed...lets see how this okimo muchi crap works

  • lol?you are an idiot he is doing it in a slow motion.

    peoples that practice this regulerly it becomes a relfex to them.

    so if someone does that they dont think too much.

    and they knock the crap out of the other in 3 sec.

  • @bturbturbturbtur shut up your mouth

    

  • Love to see it.

  • so little of this makes any sense.

    cutting the attackers hand down causes him to turn off balance for no reason. fat white guy didn't even grab skinny white guys gi or wrist he just pushes down with open hands and skinny white guy turns off balance and prepares for what these nerds consider the inevitable. no sense

    if you are standing rather vertically, as we see fat white guy, and you eat a lunging hook to your gaurd...your the one thats going off balance. you are put at disadvantage

  • "as always...uuh don't be afraid of getting your hands up." as if most people are instinctively fearful of protecting their face.

    "im gonna blend with it slightly..and im GONNA CUT IT DOWN!"

    and of course your opponent is trapped off balance and loses all ability to adjust his stance

    "flow with the technique"

    flow with a lunging hook? or come back to reality and just duck that shit cause its not smart eat (redirect as you call it) punches when they are very powerful and telegraphed.

  • this isn't a defense against the hook, its an attack against someone who rests his arm on yours and waits. at no point does he legitimately adress nullifying the attack, he just says 'gets your hands up'. typical aikido.

  • you weren't listening at all were you. did you even watch the video

  • "press in with the hip and squeeeeeze right here.....MMMMMMMMMM keep squeezing"

  • aikido is the best form to practice martial arts

  • and the best form to protect yourself in combat

  • uke has got two hands...

  • Its not the martial arts themselves, its the stupid Americans teaching them that has given most martial arts a bad name. Just because some fat Yank paid for his black belt doesnt mean the entire art is useless. Go to Japan and learn from a real instructor.

  • Ok, come on, there are stupid people everywhere. Anyway, i agree about going to Japan to learn it.

  • Sure blame it on the Americans. And sure, we all have thousands of dollars to blow to go to Japan. Right...

  • aikido will work if your attacker punches you in slow motion. but at real speed your pretty much fucked

  • no..not really.this guy just sucks,someone who knows aikido would have no problem taking down 2 or 3 pople in a real fight,ssuming they dont have weapons

    watch?v=aicHsMC6rxM

    or

    watch?v=JIowy89IXco

    -just for you

  • assuming they have no weapons? lol.. Aikido is intended to be able to protect yourself from people with or without weapons.

  • I find Bullets work WAY better :)

  • same here. stupid ninjas

  • bullets...are the way to go

  • pussy

  • aikido's a real good way to get your ass kicked.

  • No i can kill my Teacher!

  • i do that martial art aikido!!

  • Aikido is practical enough. I did it for about half a year, but when I realised it wasn't useful in a street fight, I looked elsewhere. Now I do Sun Kune Do, which is mixed martial arts with kickboxing (VERY practical) so if there are any Europeans here I suggest you check it out! (No US Dojos)

  • lol as if he wasn't going to use his other hand in a real fight ^^

  • what if he's going to throw a ridge hand and a punch, he would get you with the other hand right in the face or really anywere. I dont know about aikido but in tang soo do this is just asking to get a blow to the face. anyway a better move would be to step back and block his move with a sudo (knife hand)and grab his wrist then pull him in and at the same time punch him in the face. this way he's off balance and unprepared for a blow.

  • thats why there are thousands of techniques for thousands of different situations, here they are just showing us what to do against THAT kind of attack, as simple as it is, still you need the reflexes and the experience to do it properly in a real situation... right? DUH yea ^^ cheers

  • This guy is a complete idiot. You never block into a person, the man could have used his right arm for a strike if this was a real street fight. You always block to the outside of a persons strike. IDIOT.

  • ive practiced aikido for some time now.. ive never had a problem with blocking to the inside .. :]

    whats good about blocking on the inside is .. u give the other guy less space for his center to move therefore if your quicker you can get him off balance or disarm one side of his body ... something perfectly demonstrated in this vid ..

    :]

  • man thats ok self defense!!

  • these techniques are good. i dont live in the best neighborhood in the world, and im a teenage girl, a prime target.

    but, of course, you can never go wrong with the good old knee-to-crouch

  • made me laugh.. a true 'classic'

  • Steal the mind!

  • oooh you could like when u do the twisty arm w/e and u make him turn kik him with ur leg elbow thingy onto his spine then give a low blow =) it should work very well on guys lol eh but i wouldnt try this i dont want to get arrested for assault im just a kid =(

  • nice.

  • your right about pretty much everything u said

  • after you get him in the choke give him a nipple twister lol

  • Ah yes, the ever deadly "Urple Nurple." That move is feared on playgrounds world wide.

    P.S. Good video :)

  • The choke is improper technique. He should place the hand around the neck in the elbow from the other arm and then place the hand from that arm behind the guys head. It requires a lot less strength to apply the choke that way.

  • funeral.

  • im gonna kill a man with this

  • uh no offence buddy but talking on the internet like a tough guy will not make you cool, besides this is self defence kid.

  • agreed, you shouldn't learn any type of martial arts in order to kill. And plus, Aikido considerably relies on counters and redirecting attack and power to host.

  • I think he meant it as a joke.. chill out guys..

  • your an idiot, he meant that as a joke. apparently your still new to the "internet".

  • the point isnt to kill, just to incapitate.

    for self-defense...

  • NICE

  • wicked

  • nice video

  • Nice.
