    Actually yes, somebody will grab your wrist, e.g. if are going to pull a weapon. Remember that most of this is based on image of someone drawing a sword. Of course nobody walks around with swords today, but if that bothers you, what are you dong looking at Aikido videos?

  • Plus the "static" wrist grip is only on pedagogical purpose ; while really doing the technique, tori has already done half the way even before uke catches is wrist -if he even allows uke to grab it ; in some techniques (look to others videos), uke has the hand on the wrist, but never really grabs it, since tori already moved.

    Aikido is an art.

    And Christian Tissier Sensei is truly amazing.

  • Actually, of course no one will purposefully grab your wrist during a street fight.

    But the whole idea is to get the opponent to do it : he's gonna attack, you dunno where or when, so you literally offer him your wrist to get him attack you where and when you want him to. (The katana explanation works too, but is not as valuable in a normal context, therefore implies sorta roleplay.) This gives you the initiative.

  • Of course in a street fight no one grabs your wirst however grabbing wirst is just one of the way of training in aikido. And an aikidoka never let you to grab his wirst because if he understands that you will attack he will do the what neccessary to make you down.

    Plus if you are bad in what you do such as karete, bjj, aikido etc that will be your fault not the martial art's.

  • This sensei is amazing! Greetings from ryushinkandojo holland

  • @LA55A51N0 We don't expect people to grab our wrists it's just for training. Most of Aikido is body conditioning to retrain how you use your body and it's easier to do that from a wrist grab than it is from a strike.

  • @La55a51N0 Aikido is based on samurai. The first thing samurai would do in battle is grab their katana. You don't want that to happen.

  • Can someone explain to me the whole wrist thing in Aikido? If someone comes at you in the street they aren't just going to grab your wrist =/ I do Aikido btw, just never got my head around it =P

  • @TheRogueMonk

    His explanation emphasis on the way you should unlock the wrist. Wether to make a tenkan or not depends on your need. And as he said, at first you can't make those moves as soft and smooth, this is all a rendori preparatory work, and in other times it depends on effictivness.
