  • @localumberjacks if I were you mate I'd think about the gate the technique starts from rather the attack that comes in. It may not be a common attack, but moving to the outside of your opponent's arm is a common response and this technique has a lot of merit. I'm not a Aikidoka, and I'm sure my take on this could be greatly improved by training with Aikidokas, but in essence I've pulled this off in free flow drills plenty of times.

  • Aikido is not "MMA for Dummies." The attacks and techniques are FORMALIZED in order to teach FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS. The techniques are not even Aikido. They are all Jujistu/Judo techniques, but the precise STYLE of their implementation and the choice/attitude committing to that, reliance on those fundamental skills: that is Aikido. Waza < Jitsu < Do. Thinking "this is no good in a real fight" means you don't get it.

  • Some idiot from the local karate school who just achieved his yellow belt might....lol

    it is a sword attack simulation....or even a knife attack simulation.

  • @Aikidostenudd Then how do you expect to apply it to a real fight if people in the street come at you with hook punches and swift, fast jabs, you idiot? You just admitted that you train as if someone's coming at you with a sword cut, but real fighting has nothing to do with this. Thus, your training has nothing to do with real fighting. You aikidokas are blind to reality.

  • @localumberjacks Think of it as an angle of attack - someone trying to smack you with a beer bottle for example.

  • U can use iriminage for straight punch too... so iriminage is a very useful thing :)

    greetings from Hungary!

  • krav maga uses hammer punch

  • @kscman In the beginning most techniques can be a bit awkward. You will get through it and it will make sense. And everyone has to start somewhere, having 6th kyu is not a bad thing. In fact, you are in excellent company for every aikidoka will have 6th kyu.:)

  • It's just one version of a technique which can be adapted from many different attacks. Don't be stupid.
