i train martial arts for few years. i hold black belt in itf taekwondo and hapkido. also red belt in ninjutsu. however, from this kind off attack there is plenty of defenses, if attacker didn't hug you at full power. if he attacked you with full power none of this tehniques want work. only sure defense from this is awareness and knowing situation.
I believe Aikido can have some smart answers but it doesn't mean that every technique works against anyone. I practice martial arts for more than 20 years. This technique would work against someone who is not experienced in grappling. It would never work against a wrestler. Every experienced grappler would grap me lower and much more firmly and he would close any "gap" to secure the lock then he would lift me to throw me down. It would be impossible to go under him. We should have in mind that
Or at 0:25 put a lot of pressure to the back of his neck, there for pushing him to the ground. If you still have hold of his hand, you can simply hold him down with it.
ALL these comments against Aikido is making me ill. Take what is useful and throw away what you don't agree with OR, find this teacher's class and tell him what he is doing wrong. Better yet find the GRANDMASTERS he has learned from and tell them they taught him wrong. I'm sure they'll be glad to demonstrate on you FULL SPEED in front of their black-belt students 0_0
Errm...great. Now can you do it at actual speed? I can sort of imagine you getting away from your great aunt Mildred's unwanted affections, but that's about it.
The trouble with this one seems to be apparent towards the end, i.e. you have to think about which hand is on top, and thus whether you will go left or right.
@kepstein8888 I understand what your saying, but with all techniques you encounter in any martial art, with practice comes fluidity. If you practice a technique enough, it'll just happen, there will be no active thinking "ok, his right hand is on top i have to go this way"
@CheetaReborn Yes. In most martial arts, techniques are to be learned, ingrained, and then forgotten. Once individual techniques are no longer applied, but a fluid form of movement evolves, then true martial arts has begun.
The chokehold is almost exactly the same. Physics: bend the opponent forward and off balance, then you can lock or throw him.
You can also add a nikyo grip to help open his arms up. Forces him to think about his thumb and less on his hold. Stepping on his toe is also a possibility if he is more to the side.
A bear hug such as this is usually used to lift someone off the ground, it is imperative to lower your centre of mass immediately in order to minimize the chances of this
It's the only move I dont like.. If a 7ft tall person bear hugs a 5ft5 person their feet wont touch the floor.. And this would be most likely someone who would get you in a bear hug.. Every move I have liked exept this one.
This can not work! without a proper hitting the opponent in between legs or some suitable kind of preparation or so on... If i´d catch the men from behind he would never be able to escape just with this technique showen in the movie.. :)))
Thanks for your clever, well thought out & clearly highly trained comment.
You have added something most knowledgeable & helpful here, perhaps you could tell us which Dojo you currently train at or run so as to give us all a chance to learn from your wisdom first hand.
many of the techniques used in aikido are merely a demonstration of the art of it...with aikido i just pick a handful of techniques that would be basic and useful and just try to master them...techniques are all effective if you master them...juz stick to the ones that work best for you
well he could have said "switch hands for me because I want to do this from the same side" rather than say "switch hands for me" that way there would be no confusion!
Here's my take on the whole "don't use aikido in a fight" situation. Aikido was developed when the main form of hand to hand combat was very structured. Aikido is great against people who would use said structured techniques such as karate. But in a street fight, it wouldn't be very effective, because all they want to do is pound you. However, I've used some of these techniques to my advantage. If you've seen some of the other vids that aren't learning ones, you'll see that it CAN be useful
Agreed. Good Aikido can be useful, but, you're right, it's useful 1.) only if you're good at it; and 2.) generally in more "structured" fights. It's a strange martial art, in my opinion, in that it tends to work better against people who know another martial art. It actually "punishes" an opponent for knowing how to fight in a style. Granted, I'm more of a BJJ/boxing guy, but that's been my limited experience.
I am not sure the Expert Village is a good venue to post Aiki technique. The purpose seems to be very misconstrued by those who do not realize what Aikido demonstrations are for. It is the same as people thinking that paying dojo membership dues means they are 'buying' martial arts techniques.
aikido as i think is an art to protect one self and not causeing lots of harm thats why they dont have aikido as compatitve sport its something one use to protect not to attack
THIS is not a real fight! This is a basic technique from a STATIC attack. It is not at real speed or power. If the teacher and student just went at it full speed, no one would learn anything. How is this so difficult to grasp??? Oh, I know. There is no IQ test for gettin on the internet and posting idiotic comments.
In a real fight we don't wear a gi, stand and WAIT to be attacked, or FILM it for all to see! Geez, people!
hell yeah, you all are right, this is just a fake martial art. here is an idea for you, go to a Aikikai Aikido Dojo and attack the sensei, that false sensei, and film the action, then post in youtube the video. then you will prove to the whole world that aikido is a Fake.
It's a demonstration with a video camera in a static position. For the sack of this video, it makes more sense to have the hands in the position that he asks for, because if he were to perform it the other way, he could potentially confuse the students watching.
This technique can be performed in either direction, but you must be aware of the attackers hands to know which direction you'll be moving him.
I stand corrected. Apparently you don't understand.
But just as a bit of education, the "point" of saying all that, was to educate you, and other viewers the reasons why the teacher in the video asked his student to switch hands.
"But I'm sure you understand that" is what we call "Sarcasm", and it is a form of humour that you apparently have difficulty with. I'll make sure that next time, that I'm more clear when making comments like that.
NOT a good defence against bear hug. Much better is dropping your body down and twist your body, and when you have space go for the legs or strike with elbow. Important is react BEFORE hug is well fastened. DON'T start fickling with wrists or hands...
Rofl u fail! First of all that shows u how to control the guy not how to eliminate him dumbass. The thing is that u dont have to always kill or harm ur opponent cause in Finland (where i live) u get a penalty if u harm or kill someone even if its for selfdefence.
Bushwhacker2k; well, they pretend this to be a self-defence situation right? Normally the average agressor from this position will start breaking you down, maybe to rape you, or he may have a companion starting to beat you up ... Pretending wrist manipulation to be a good answer in this situation is false and dangerous. Whatever your defence ... almost everything may works better than going for the wrists.
You can only control the wrist if you can hyperextend it and this NEVER happens in real life fighting. Aikido give you an ILLUSION that wristlocks works because of the pain and effect when you practise them WITHOUT resistance as you do in Jujutsu, Taijutsu, Aikido, Aikijutsu etc. Test it out on some friends, same size or bigger than you using full force, wristlocks or wristmanipulation dont works when you fight with resistance, unfortunatly!!!
Agreed. There is far too much practice without resistance in all the disciplines that I have experienced. Surely this "could" only work after years and years of practice but if attacked in the mean time you need to rely on simple reflexes to get you out of trouble.
You are only partially correct. I have never had any problem with poperly executed joint locks working in a real scuffle. Now if your attacker KNOWS what nikkyo is and knows you are going to apply it, he CAN keep you from doing it, but then he would no longer be in position to effectivey use Nikkyo on anyway and an experienced Aikidoka should move on to something else like a throw. You are reading too much into this. We can what if forever. What if there is a sniper across the yard???
Deke101, I know high ranked Aikidokas and they openly admit they would never practice Aikido for sefdefence, IT'S NOT FOR SELFDEFENCE!!! It's not a sport either - its "THE ART OF PEACE AND HARMONIC MOVMENTS" - so when these "masters" pretend to teach you selfdefence it's simply FALSE and may harm ppl beliving in them. I have been teaching wristlocks for years in Jujutsu , but I would never tried to do them in a fight. I do respect Aikido as an ART, but selfdefence? FORGET IT!!!
Self defence? No. I would not call Aikido self defence. I would call it situation control.
Once again, I have used Aikido to great effect in real life MANY times. Would I go looking to kick someone's ass with it? Certainly not. We seem to be arguing semantics here. What is effective? I have used the principles of Akido to diffuse situations before they became violent. I have used Aiki techniques when violence seemed to be the only solution left. I don't know any Aikidoka who look for fights.
Get into a ring and just see who can beat the crap out of each other? Stupidity. I would never use martial arts for such foolishness. I am 38 years old and do not have time for such silly nonsense. WHY would I put myself in a situation where I could become hospitalized when I have children to look after? All for what? A trophy???
Death touch? What are you talking about? Too much movies. .
You asked for what is effective? - in the context of "selfdefence"... and my experience is that martial arts that do a lot of full-contact sparring, like boxing, kickboxing, JUDO or BJJ - is the best BASIC to defend yourself when nessecary. The "death touch" was a JOKE, just an example on tecniques that definitly dosen't work like much of the Aikido stuff :-) You can find some "Death-touch masters" here on Youtube he, he...
I can't speak for any of the sanke oil salesmen out there. I would say that someone trained in any martial art would be better equipped to handle an untrained attacker than not.
If what you have done works for you, then more power to you. I like Judo.
Aikido does not work if you try to make it work. The techniques sort of fall into place themselves. I can't decide before an attack happens that I am going to do a certain technique.
@Deke101 You my friend are the most intelligent person I've seen on a video related to Aikido. I despize all these people who don't know how to talk about anything except "MMA beating the crap out of everything".
@CheetaReborn We have become a nation where everything is packaged for immediate and gratification. Reality has been skewed in favor of consumption of products. MMA is just such a product. It is not reality. I WILL acknowledge that laziness ocurrs in many dojos where technique can be watered down to non functional crap, however, this is not the fault of the art, but its teachers. Yip Man even said it is the man, not the art. Peace.
I have dedicated myself to a martial art that I have not found any flaw with for MY purposes. I use it's principles effectively almost every day. You can cease telling me it is ineffective. I know better from personal experience, not from what others have experienced.
I have not either, I actually like joint locks, you just have to know how to implement them. You can't just grab someone's wrist, you need deception and misdirection to cover your movement. MMA has become sport, it's predictable and boring. Bruce Lee would cry if he saw what it has become.
I use joint locks when it seems natural do do so. When the technique simply falls into place, THAT is when Aikido works. Aikido is not about deception, it is about natural flowing movement.
I would not say that MMA is boring. I WOULD say that it is a very blunt instrument for measuring martial arts ability.
Getting to a natural point to use a joint lock, is going to require you close the range without just grabbing their wrist. (unless they give you a bear hug, but I've never seen that) This is what I referred to as deceptive use or covering your intention, unless you're just waiting for them to grab you, but I like a little more offensive approach. I never said Aikido was about deception. Yes, I know why he said to switch hands, it's obviously for demonstration purposes. Still struck me funny.
I would never start a physical confrontation. I have never been attacked with a bear hug or even a grab from behind. The idiots I have encountered always seem to want to hit me from behind with some kind of blunt object. In this case, they just get thrown. I HAVE been grabbed from the front and Nikkyo and Sankyo usually seem to fall right into place. I was not referring to any other form or art since this IS an Aikido video.
I understand that you were referring to Aikido, however you seemed to de-value what I was saying based on that, I just needed to clarify my position. This isn't just an Aikido video, it is a demonstration of martial art, (albeit at a simplistic level) but people of any martial arts background with even the slightest interest will view it.
I would never start a physical confrontation either, I'm not talking about that.
A typed comment section is not a very good way of exchanging ideas without coming off as an ass sometimes. No body language, tone, or emphasis.
The info section of this video states that this IS an Aikido video. The instructor uses Japanese terminology familiar to those of us who study Aikido.
Martial Arts is a real as one would like to make it. But first one must ask himself, how he/she will use this training. When you reach maturity, you will realize that it's not the techniques that count, but the person.
Stupid f**K! THe switch was to keep the technique on the camera side. It was for video production reasons. He could have done it on the other side, but your stupid ass couldn't see it then.
Thugs? They call themselfs that, but why the fudge would you call 'm that? Do you think they are "thugs"? The only thing they do is to go out, look for some fighting, go home and repeat the circle....Those lowlifes must be teached some lessons!
at 0:56 you switch hand for me..... what if the person thats grabing u did it the other way... i dont think you can ask them to do it the other way, i am not disrespecting you but thats weird
he switched his hand to make the demonstration easier to see. they could have turned their left side to the camera or ask the camera man to record from the other side.
yeah, i thought about that just because im a sceptical person, but it's obvious that the only reason he has to switch hands is so that the camera can see what he's doing; if the hands where in the opposite position, he'd do exactly the same move, but we'd seen it from another angle
look at the technique again. In how many directions could Sensei Matison throw his standing opponent whose balance he has take and break his neck in the process? What if Nage (Sensei Matison) just continues with the choke into a hip throw over Nage's right hip without releasing the choke and goes to ground after Daniel (Uke) goes over his hip? All chokes are dangerous. What if Uke loses his balance accidentally and falls with that choke still in place. Look again at the Kata!!
right, that makes sense but how obvious is it when someone blacksout? How long would it take to do permanent damage, permitting the person does not break his neck.
There are a large number of factors involved. Hypoxia is name of the danger of oxygen deprivation of the brain which is the most sensitive organ effected by chokes and strangles.
My aiki-jitsu instructor would not teach detailed choking techniques until you were of dan rank, you had been choked out by him and you had been instructed in resuscitation techniques. Breathing restart is not always automatic when the choke is released.
If a choke or strangulation is administered properly than in about 6-10seconds the person should be out, at about 15-20 seconds they start losing brain cells from lack of oxygen to the brain, after about 60-90 seconds they can become paralyzed, and at about 2minutes they can die.
This technique dictates that nage has to out under the arm which is on top to get the sankyo grip. If he went out the other way the camera wouldn't be able to see the technique! If you ever stepped foot in a dojo you would know that instructors move around or stop mid-technique so students can see whats going on.
From the end position the defender could have thrown the attacker pretty much any way he likes. Maybe Ko soto gake or O soto gari from Judo. Or simply push him down with all his strength
No body bear hugs anymore, everybody knows the rear naked choke and when he tries to slip out they will lock in the choke. This technique is out dated needs to be modified for todays martial arts!
nice techique.remember aikido is a m art and a way of life-aikido is a lot of grapling so the m artist trains also in physical power of the arm(fingers,grapling power etc),hip power,and he can handle a lot of pain-for example more than a karateka can handle(lock arms,shoulders etc).when the oponent is bigger and stronger u just think about presure points and striking point to make him pain and at the same time u make the lock(4example strike his foot first).practise-only practise.
you idiots who are making fun of this video and saying it won't work, you're not going to learn this in a two minute video. that's not the purpose. after years of training, these are some techniques that you will eventually master.
not sure about this guy but most of our videos we film after a 2 hour class and all of us are a little winded hard to judge unless your actually there with the guy. and oooooh raaaahhhhh devil dog
I can't stand seeing overweight or out of shape Martial Arts Instructors. It counteracts their credibility. Even if they are legitimate, they have let themselves go and rest on their laurels for the remainder of their lives.
I saw your comment about America's health. I understand you don't find the instruction to know what he's doing or to be healthy, but not all of us in the USA are like that. If your so much better then post your own video and, being as in trainner in aikdo, muay thia, ninjutsu, judo, tae-kwon-do and US marine special forces, I think I'm qualified to judge your everything. Hope not all you people in Denmark are so judgemental and vein about everything. I'll be waiting to see your video soon.
It's very difficult to take any instructor/sensei seriously who clearly has so little regard for health and nutrition. The aikidô shinhan in 'Aikidô tankyû' or 'Hiden' are all in excellent condition, clearly exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet.
Want to end a fight with this guy? Throw a Big Mac at him.
Magic pants and a big gut, typically American. No different from the pudgy Yanks wearing 'TapouT' shirts: ego ideals, enchanted attire, and a desire to be on camera.
I agree with you. The instructor is demonstrating the techniques slowly and with no effort, YET he is breathing heavy as though he ran up a flight of stairs. Maybe to get to a Big Mac! Lol!
Suppose he didn't switch hands? Hmm..lol I guess you'll have to learn to do it on both sides?!

0:57 op cant say that to an attacker (switch hands so i can do this escape right)
TENNSUMITSUMA 2 years ago 3
It's a demonstration with a video camera in a static position. For the sack of this video, it makes more sense to have the hands in the position that he asks for, because if he were to perform it the other way, he could potentially confuse the students watching.
This technique can be performed in either direction, but you must be aware of the attackers hands to know which direction you'll be moving him.
But I'm sure you understand that.
tychobech 2 years ago
are you serious. if you r so sure that i 'understand that' whats the point of saying all this
TENNSUMITSUMA 2 years ago
I stand corrected. Apparently you don't understand.
But just as a bit of education, the "point" of saying all that, was to educate you, and other viewers the reasons why the teacher in the video asked his student to switch hands.
"But I'm sure you understand that" is what we call "Sarcasm", and it is a form of humour that you apparently have difficulty with. I'll make sure that next time, that I'm more clear when making comments like that.

he just wanted to repeat the movement from the same side, if you got the hands "changed" you just use the other and you escape from the other side

NOT a good defence against bear hug. Much better is dropping your body down and twist your body, and when you have space go for the legs or strike with elbow. Important is react BEFORE hug is well fastened. DON'T start fickling with wrists or hands...
These Aikido "masters" really sucks!!
birlisa1 2 years ago
Rofl u fail! First of all that shows u how to control the guy not how to eliminate him dumbass. The thing is that u dont have to always kill or harm ur opponent cause in Finland (where i live) u get a penalty if u harm or kill someone even if its for selfdefence.
kazefin 2 years ago
Aikido doesn't use strikes, it's about disabling the opponent without harming him.
Also, to situations like this there are tons of ways to deal with it, just because you prefer a different way doesn't make this useless.
bushwhacker2k 2 years ago
Bushwhacker2k; well, they pretend this to be a self-defence situation right? Normally the average agressor from this position will start breaking you down, maybe to rape you, or he may have a companion starting to beat you up ... Pretending wrist manipulation to be a good answer in this situation is false and dangerous. Whatever your defence ... almost everything may works better than going for the wrists.
birlisa1 2 years ago
I don't really understand what you mean. If you grab their wrist and use it correctly you can completely control them.
bushwhacker2k 2 years ago
You can only control the wrist if you can hyperextend it and this NEVER happens in real life fighting. Aikido give you an ILLUSION that wristlocks works because of the pain and effect when you practise them WITHOUT resistance as you do in Jujutsu, Taijutsu, Aikido, Aikijutsu etc. Test it out on some friends, same size or bigger than you using full force, wristlocks or wristmanipulation dont works when you fight with resistance, unfortunatly!!!
birlisa1 2 years ago
Agreed. There is far too much practice without resistance in all the disciplines that I have experienced. Surely this "could" only work after years and years of practice but if attacked in the mean time you need to rely on simple reflexes to get you out of trouble.
tommyfaf 2 years ago
You are only partially correct. I have never had any problem with poperly executed joint locks working in a real scuffle. Now if your attacker KNOWS what nikkyo is and knows you are going to apply it, he CAN keep you from doing it, but then he would no longer be in position to effectivey use Nikkyo on anyway and an experienced Aikidoka should move on to something else like a throw. You are reading too much into this. We can what if forever. What if there is a sniper across the yard???
Deke101 2 years ago
Deke101, I know high ranked Aikidokas and they openly admit they would never practice Aikido for sefdefence, IT'S NOT FOR SELFDEFENCE!!! It's not a sport either - its "THE ART OF PEACE AND HARMONIC MOVMENTS" - so when these "masters" pretend to teach you selfdefence it's simply FALSE and may harm ppl beliving in them. I have been teaching wristlocks for years in Jujutsu , but I would never tried to do them in a fight. I do respect Aikido as an ART, but selfdefence? FORGET IT!!!
birlisa1 2 years ago
Self defence? No. I would not call Aikido self defence. I would call it situation control.
Once again, I have used Aikido to great effect in real life MANY times. Would I go looking to kick someone's ass with it? Certainly not. We seem to be arguing semantics here. What is effective? I have used the principles of Akido to diffuse situations before they became violent. I have used Aiki techniques when violence seemed to be the only solution left. I don't know any Aikidoka who look for fights.
Deke101 2 years ago
What is effective?
1) A solid experience in a full-contact sparring MA foucusing on strikes, kicks, throws, takedowns, imobilisations, chokes and locks.
2) Forget tecniques you can't implement in full-contact sparring as wristlocks, eye poking, "death touch" etc.
3) KEEP IT SIMPLE, forget the fancy stuff...
I agree upon staying out of situations before they became violent... - getting out of trouble without fighting is always the best.
birlisa1 2 years ago
Get into a ring and just see who can beat the crap out of each other? Stupidity. I would never use martial arts for such foolishness. I am 38 years old and do not have time for such silly nonsense. WHY would I put myself in a situation where I could become hospitalized when I have children to look after? All for what? A trophy???
Death touch? What are you talking about? Too much movies. .
Deke101 2 years ago 8
You asked for what is effective? - in the context of "selfdefence"... and my experience is that martial arts that do a lot of full-contact sparring, like boxing, kickboxing, JUDO or BJJ - is the best BASIC to defend yourself when nessecary. The "death touch" was a JOKE, just an example on tecniques that definitly dosen't work like much of the Aikido stuff :-) You can find some "Death-touch masters" here on Youtube he, he...
birlisa1 2 years ago
I can't speak for any of the sanke oil salesmen out there. I would say that someone trained in any martial art would be better equipped to handle an untrained attacker than not.
If what you have done works for you, then more power to you. I like Judo.
Aikido does not work if you try to make it work. The techniques sort of fall into place themselves. I can't decide before an attack happens that I am going to do a certain technique.
Deke101 2 years ago
@Deke101 You my friend are the most intelligent person I've seen on a video related to Aikido. I despize all these people who don't know how to talk about anything except "MMA beating the crap out of everything".

@CheetaReborn We have become a nation where everything is packaged for immediate and gratification. Reality has been skewed in favor of consumption of products. MMA is just such a product. It is not reality. I WILL acknowledge that laziness ocurrs in many dojos where technique can be watered down to non functional crap, however, this is not the fault of the art, but its teachers. Yip Man even said it is the man, not the art. Peace.

I have dedicated myself to a martial art that I have not found any flaw with for MY purposes. I use it's principles effectively almost every day. You can cease telling me it is ineffective. I know better from personal experience, not from what others have experienced.
Peace.
Deke101 2 years ago
I have not either, I actually like joint locks, you just have to know how to implement them. You can't just grab someone's wrist, you need deception and misdirection to cover your movement. MMA has become sport, it's predictable and boring. Bruce Lee would cry if he saw what it has become.
captainmutiny 2 years ago
I use joint locks when it seems natural do do so. When the technique simply falls into place, THAT is when Aikido works. Aikido is not about deception, it is about natural flowing movement.
I would not say that MMA is boring. I WOULD say that it is a very blunt instrument for measuring martial arts ability.
Deke101 2 years ago
Getting to a natural point to use a joint lock, is going to require you close the range without just grabbing their wrist. (unless they give you a bear hug, but I've never seen that) This is what I referred to as deceptive use or covering your intention, unless you're just waiting for them to grab you, but I like a little more offensive approach. I never said Aikido was about deception. Yes, I know why he said to switch hands, it's obviously for demonstration purposes. Still struck me funny.
captainmutiny 2 years ago
Also, I never mentioned anything about Aikido. I said JOINT LOCKS. I know about 4 Aikido techniques, it is not the only system involving joint locks.
captainmutiny 2 years ago
I would never start a physical confrontation. I have never been attacked with a bear hug or even a grab from behind. The idiots I have encountered always seem to want to hit me from behind with some kind of blunt object. In this case, they just get thrown. I HAVE been grabbed from the front and Nikkyo and Sankyo usually seem to fall right into place. I was not referring to any other form or art since this IS an Aikido video.
Peace.
Deke101 2 years ago
I understand that you were referring to Aikido, however you seemed to de-value what I was saying based on that, I just needed to clarify my position. This isn't just an Aikido video, it is a demonstration of martial art, (albeit at a simplistic level) but people of any martial arts background with even the slightest interest will view it.
I would never start a physical confrontation either, I'm not talking about that.
captainmutiny 2 years ago
I am not trying to de-value anything you said.
A typed comment section is not a very good way of exchanging ideas without coming off as an ass sometimes. No body language, tone, or emphasis.
The info section of this video states that this IS an Aikido video. The instructor uses Japanese terminology familiar to those of us who study Aikido.
Deke101 2 years ago
You're correct about that, sometimes things are lost in translation. I respect Aikido, and I was interested enough to stop by.
And you're correct, it is an Aikido video, but my perspective is that the forum is going to be open to everyone who stops by with any interest.

yeah, i thought about that just because im a sceptical person, but it's obvious that the only reason he has to switch hands is so that the camera can see what he's doing; if the hands where in the opposite position, he'd do exactly the same move, but we'd seen it from another angle

swah555 2 years ago
look at the technique again. In how many directions could Sensei Matison throw his standing opponent whose balance he has take and break his neck in the process? What if Nage (Sensei Matison) just continues with the choke into a hip throw over Nage's right hip without releasing the choke and goes to ground after Daniel (Uke) goes over his hip? All chokes are dangerous. What if Uke loses his balance accidentally and falls with that choke still in place. Look again at the Kata!!
dc9912dc 2 years ago
right, that makes sense but how obvious is it when someone blacksout? How long would it take to do permanent damage, permitting the person does not break his neck.
swah555 2 years ago
There are a large number of factors involved. Hypoxia is name of the danger of oxygen deprivation of the brain which is the most sensitive organ effected by chokes and strangles.
My aiki-jitsu instructor would not teach detailed choking techniques until you were of dan rank, you had been choked out by him and you had been instructed in resuscitation techniques. Breathing restart is not always automatic when the choke is released.
I have no answer as to time to permanent damage.
dc9912dc 2 years ago
Your instructor was a choad, which makes you a credulous retard.
Blndrfist 2 years ago
If a choke or strangulation is administered properly than in about 6-10seconds the person should be out, at about 15-20 seconds they start losing brain cells from lack of oxygen to the brain, after about 60-90 seconds they can become paralyzed, and at about 2minutes they can die.

lORDELO2 2 years ago
This technique dictates that nage has to out under the arm which is on top to get the sankyo grip. If he went out the other way the camera wouldn't be able to see the technique! If you ever stepped foot in a dojo you would know that instructors move around or stop mid-technique so students can see whats going on.

nice techique.remember aikido is a m art and a way of life-aikido is a lot of grapling so the m artist trains also in physical power of the arm(fingers,grapling power etc),hip power,and he can handle a lot of pain-for example more than a karateka can handle(lock arms,shoulders etc).when the oponent is bigger and stronger u just think about presure points and striking point to make him pain and at the same time u make the lock(4example strike his foot first).practise-only practise.

It's very difficult to take any instructor/sensei seriously who clearly has so little regard for health and nutrition. The aikidô shinhan in 'Aikidô tankyû' or 'Hiden' are all in excellent condition, clearly exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet.
Want to end a fight with this guy? Throw a Big Mac at him.
