Way of the Warrior - Aikido & Kendo, The Sporting Way [2/4]

[1990smithers]

this guy is so intuitive, its amazing

[whomybuddy]

aikido is basically use less of your own strength in comparative to enemy strength to throw the enemy around. Surely a skinny girl can not beat a huge buff guy even if she master this art

[rnmultimedia]

1:18 - AGRICULTURAL!!!!!!!! and HUNTING!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!! I never thought of it that way! plus I feel like there was more of a relaxed mindset with the Japanese culture- meaning more of a calmer external mindset- wheras with Western boxing and wrestling - one is taught to keep moving and jumping to evade and trick the opponent....

[XANSEM]

"Akido is the combat art of physics" Sounds like Einstein would been a great Akido master lol

[47wma]

Did Judo for over 30 years, Aikido for 4 and now I do Taiji for 13 years. One can see that the great art of Aikido found its basic in Taiji....indeed, Aikido is a very effective

and nice art to learn. Every youngster and healthy adult should learn it..Good Luck.

[FearThisChannel]

He said Sportive Aikido and Classical Aikido. Now, is there also a Classical Kendo?

[RolandStGermain]

@FearThisChannel Iaido, iaijutsu, or kenjutsu could qualify as classical Kendo.

[lollakaskoht]

Aikido looks awesome..

[rangerman012]

I see alot of arms out there...hmm lucky bujinkult isn't here to see this or bujincant, theres alot of the art of the arm out on this vid. No offense to Aikido, I was just making a statement, I like Aikido.

[hellzblade44]

How come aikido and karate and kung fu some of the most deadly martial arts are not used in MMA fighting? Because they are not that great anymore. Sure they worked when they were on the battlefield and used martial arts killing techniques but nowadays....simply usless apart from mental and spiritual aspects.

[Wolfsbane909]

hellzblade, u do not understand aikido thats why u are ignorant of it. Go watch more MMA and try and your take down on me charge at me full force and I will just not resist aganist you but rather blend with you "tenkan" out of the way and give you an extra little shove to push you into that wall. So you will charge full force head on into the wall all by yourself! Now thats Aikido kid!! watch MMA "sport" its not an Martial Art kid

[hellzblade44]

Obviously you do not understand jui jutsu. Why would i just run and charge at you full force? Also i have watched tons and tons of aikido videos and you know what they never show? Somebody really good at punches trhowing punches....you know what i do see is retardards running at the aikido master and trying to grab him...So being as punches move to fast for any of that fancy moving and using the opponents energy against them nonsense aiko does not work in real fights just the dojo.

[Wolfsbane909]

well u would be very surprised next time u witness a street brawl with two drunk idiots check out to see if they are holding each other, most of the time they grab & pound. There have been instances where guys twice my size try to "tackle" and take me down, I just give'em my hand and swing them or flip'em depending on how they tackle. The "Takedown" is an MMA move, love for them to try that on me, requires little effort or strength on my part to flip'em. u forget minor shinners in Aikido 2 stun!

[hellzblade44]

um no. what about muay thai,karate,boxing,kenpo sorry man but it is called MMA becuase there are so many martial arts people use.

[sraddawa]

How can these people call themselves Buddhists when they consume alcohol???????

[schmidtgm]

alcohol is ok if you aren't a monk - i have a problem with eating live lobsters

[sraddawa]

Sorry my friend if you are a buddhist you have to take the five precepts which are non-violence,not to steal,avoid sexual misbehaviour,avoid false speech and avoid intoxicants.Monks have to follow 10 precepts

[sraddawa]

Buddhists are very rare in todays world there only exists people who label them selves as Buddhist as if it's some fashion.Diamonds are rare my friend

[sraddawa]

Diamonds are rare my friend

[acquiesce100]

Why dont the bbc make more programs like this!

[compsog9845]

i do love aikido, very effective. and the traditional techniques and spirit is a beautiful thing

[Kinghercules]

38 dans!!! WTF? how?

[lagook]

hmmz my sensei has 13 hahaha 8 jujitsu and 5 karate..... 38 is just insanity

[Darktician]

Aikido can be effectively used by anyone, because it relies on the enemy's strength rather than the users strength. It's literally the combat art of physics.

[RolandStGermain]

@Darktician Aikido has many good techniques but one has to admit that some techniques rely on a willing uke.

[SithV1]

Aikido is a good Martial Art system for women.

[sebargentino]

not ffor women only, but iit will follow you the rest of your days, not like other martials arts. learn before you speack

[lagook]

sorry i think i will use jujitsu till the end of my days also

[srtzui]

the girls are good

[erigbzh]

Two fat and pointless old guys showing off, démonstrating very poor aïkido with a small towel on their heads. A shame.

[kensei1984]

Well, girth is not really an indicator of skill, but I do agree that its sad that some of these guys just let themselves go.

[JiggyHo]

I've learned so much from this upload. One thing I notice is that the students we've been shown are all at university. Never tough guys off the street. Do class issues underlie the martial arts in modern Japan?

[neogtrmn]

No, no class issues whatsoever. They probably chose university clubs because they're generally at all at the same level and it would also be easier to get permission to film them.

[Peekingduck]

There are a lot of assumption and a few things that are wrong with the theory about western and Japanese fighting.

Kendo, Judo, Naginata are all gendai-budo.

The footwork is very different in old Japanese schools.

Frensh fencing (today) uses something very close to 'sugi ashi' due to having a strip...

Just my five yen..

[GusgGet]

very interesting but i dislike the competition between karate and aikido, cos i think they r very different.

[Meadras]

I agree - I, at least, think that the Aikido master should fight Karate Masters with similar skill to his, instead of simply fighting lesser and younger students - I find it unfair

[compsog9845]

check out 'mind body kick ass moves - Okinawan karate'

this is master oshiro. amazing devotion and abilities.

[compsog9845]

its a shame they took the first part of this episode off youtube i liked it better when oshiro was trianing with his student.

[shavadavadava]

amazing.love your uploads.

[00RV00]

Vey interesting.
