48th All Japan Aikido - Ueshiba Moriteru Doshu

[blockmasterscott]

I've been in a group of several people in a Hapkido demo like the end of the clip. I either had someone in front of me so I couldn't touch the guy or I was either redirected into one of my group.

[GreenDistantStar]

It's easy to see who's doing the most work here.

[farizhutamaputra]

if they flip when not touched it's CALLED CHI .aikido not only physiclly movement but Chi movement too

[BabaCiccone]

gently epic.

[lsalsa7]

Actually yes MrBeetle26...these guys are flipping even before they get touched...

[Branwolfe1]

Aikido looks like they are just redirecting the force of the attacker into another direction, only to have your opponent take all of that energy himself?

[GenghisCohen1]

@Branwolfe1 Yes. You give them he space your body is in and direct their energy for them.

[JokZer0]

There is a reason y they have to go slow. aikido is base on counters in to throw or submission, if they go too fast there will be arms bending the wrong way. and i dont think the master wana break his student in this demonstration. 

[lsalsa7]

Sorry...just a demonstration of technique...Aikido is not very effective especially when the students are flipping for their master..sometimes they flip even before the movement..lol

[MrBeetle26]

@lsalsa7 have you ever tried aikido? if you have, you would know why they flip...

[loremdolorfu]

@MrBeetle26 Yep. I took my kids to their classes when they were little and tried it myself. Pretty effective and deadly I must say.

[bryster415]

talk about wrist control lol

[bakarone]

at 3:11 it becomes ridiculous

[DHL428]

Aikido when you've mastered the true arts, you should not hurt the attacker. If you do, it is not real Aikido and it is against the founder philosophy. Some people learned the Aikido techniques and turned it into hard art... such as the founder of Hapkido studied Aikido and turned it into hard art and gave it a different name. Also in the movies it looks good to do hard style like breaking elbow or wrist; I guess people love to watch those moves.  We should be in harmony with everyone.

[DHL428]

Not many professional fighters (boxers of MMA fighters) can retain their skills at old age like O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba (78) or Sensei Moriteru Doshu Ueshiba. They still have the energy and excellent skills. I wish I can retain my skills and have the energy to perform these moves when I am at their age. This is the beauty of using energy instead of brute force. Aikido is a spiritual art to enlightenment. The objective is to turn enemies into friends and be at one with the universe.

[DHL428]

If you know how to use ki/chi energy, you do not need to use muscle power! It is hard for many Westerners to understand the concept of ki/chi. There are many masters from the West who know how to use ki/chi and when they do, everything should be smooth and effortless. This is the highest level. Bruce Lee demonstrated his one inch punch using ki/chi power. If you got hit with his punch or side kick it felt like you got hit by a car or truck.

[leptiric51]

gaidenblade TRUE.

[gaidenblade]

This is demonstration, these moves are designed to really hurt people, dislocating joints and forcing or smashing people into the ground. These guys jump around and flip on purpose, but thats the correct practice technique to avoid being hurt, no one on the street would know to flip over to avoid a broken wrist.

[Assajnzxc]

May I ask why everyone is charging towards the old man and getting thrown around like a baby?

[Hayden8181]

watch the old guys hands... his not even flipping them... they are doing it on their own. ;L

[alangoat]

good dancing

[aikidolala]

Beautiful!!!!

[houyuanjia83]

such continuity of motion ... marvellous.

[JungleFuury]

He seems to sorta just touch them sometimes and they fall down >_<

[MKHasd]

they got owned one by one and then they got owned all of them together

[r2d2rx]

what does he do against a kick/punching combo ending in a doubleleg takedown and a sidechoke? I d try those aikido guys.

[pathman2]

@r2d2rx Send in the video of it, as I could do with a good laugh, or give the address of the hospital you are in.

[slouttop]

@r2d2rx HE WOULD PUT FINGERS IN YOUR EYES AND BITE YOUR EARS OF SHOWING THAT MMA IS A SPORT THAT IS UGLY AND NOT READY FOR THE STREETS LIKE THE REAL MARTIAL ARTS ARE DESIGNED TO BE.

[terrorista31]

I like the last part because they can do random attacks and the sensei need to react fast, there you can see how they apply they knowledge :)

[Ikenaiko974]

mdr nan quand même à partir de 7min 16 on se croirait dans un vieux film de karaté des années 60. ILs tombent comme des mouches mdr

[Ikenaiko974]

C'est super jolie et brillamment réalisé.. Mais qu'en est il dans la vrai vie quand le mec arrive comme une balle en te ruinant de coup de poing? Là on dirait une danse et l'assaillant ne force pas beaucoup, il se laisse aller, la mise en scène est un peu exagéré. Néanmoins respect c'est un très bel art martial

[kakssil]

trop classe

[jonnystor]

Le Kung Fu est supérieur ;)

[dalkonio]

@jonnystor Tous les art martiaux se valent seuls leurs pratiquants sont supérieurs ou non aux autres ^^

[jonnystor]

@dalkonio J'avais oublié avoir écrit ce commentaire,du coup quand je vois le tiens j'ai cru que c'était moi qui avait mot pour mot écris ça xD Tkt je pense de même,mais je trouve qu'il y'a quand même des cas à part ne me dis pas que les techniques de défenses de l'Aïkido vont valoir quelque chose face à un Kung-Fu sec et explosif comme le Jeet Kune Do de Bruce Lee par exemple :P

[dalkonio]

@jonnystor Ouai c'est sur qu'après face a du jeet kune do ou du wing chung faut bien maîtriser vu la vitesse des coups ^^

[amaurythewarrior]

it's almost ridiculous how easy it seems for him. i can't help wondering though, how effective it really is in real wold situations ....

[mwall444]

1:39 instant failure in a fight. As Aikido royalty, he should know better than to shihonage so high in the stance. Deplorable.

[bbroegger]

@mwall444 even the greatest make mistakes. 

[Aria132]

@mwall444 It would be ok if you do it fast enough

[mwall444]

@Aria132 the throw doesn't off-balance the attacker unless you perform it low in the stance, and this technique doesn't require speed but leverage. I admit, though, he's performing rather than teaching in this segment.

[orhideea95]

@mwall444 I would like to see you doing it better ^-^

[mwall444]

@orhideea95 I would like to see you do it at all, 17-Year-Old - or give technical insight into the Shihonage, or even know what that is. ^_^

[orhideea95]

@mwall444 I would like seeing me do Shihounage as well as he did. Are you a sensei?

[huget00n]

@mwall444 May I ask what is wrong with this shihonage? After the inside irimi-tenkan-irimi, the uke was so out of balance, that he would fall directly even if tori just walked away there was no point to crawl under his arm. Sure that would not work so well if you did it in kyu level "static" mode. Also you should be aware that each Aikido master develops a specific form. Being unable to recognize an Aikido principle because You face an unusual form is Your limit not the master's.

[CheetaReborn]

As fluid and effortless as O'Sensei was. Really amazing demonstration

[darkeningsky]

@CheetaReborn where is kiai?

[jounguer]

vraiment super geniale

[adwana]

I like this too! =)

[thkun33]

good to see the tradition is inheriting

[SuperBob909]

Thank you for the excellent videos.
