you are really an expert, i always watch your videos

[KungFuKid1015]

@GinXYZ I know what you mean. Where I go, we don't do these types of attacks. We practice with real world scenarios. What we like to do is ask, "What if". And then we work out the problem. But I can still see where these techniques can be built from. I agree with you, I do, I am just giving respect to the art.

[KungFuKid1015]

@GinXYZ And I understand what you mean. I too have these concerns. But I think the problem is people are trying to run before they can walk. Too many schools jump into teaching Chi or Ki. Yet it takes a life long commitment to understand this. Not just a few classes. So I get what you mean. And agree 100%. But that is not to say that the spiritual and philosophical aspects are not useful. In fact it should be the ultimate goal of every martial artist.

[GinXYZ]

@KungFuKid1015 That's true; however, the unfortunate reality is that most Aikido schools around today are based off of Ueshiba's ideology from his later years. Post WW2 aikido gradually changed into focusing on the spiritual and philosophical ideas of aikido and using ki against attackers. It's very rare to find an aikido school that engages in truly alive training under realistic circumstances. That's the problem here.

[GinXYZ]

@KungFuKid1015 And therein lies the problem. There's not enough alive practice much less practice against attacks such as hook punches or knives.

[KungFuKid1015]

@GinXYZ Aikido came from both Judo and Jujitsu (Japanese Jujitsu, Not BJJ). And it was designed specifically for self defense, not sport, unlike Judo and BJJ, even though both are very nice arts in themselves. But this technique, like most techniques in Aikido, works on the principle of the motion, not how someone will or will not strike.

[KungFuKid1015]

@GinXYZ Thats why you can practice with a hook punch, or if the guy has a knife. He is using the same motion either way.

[GinXYZ]

@naifgobory It's all 'could be' and 'maybe'. Aikido just isn't that great for practical self-defense. It's wonderful if you want to immerse yourself in an MA that, although a gendai art, tends to train in koryu art and really gets you involved in philosophy and culture...there's nothing wrong with that at all. However, if you want real world self defense skill, then judo or jujitsu are much better.

@GinXYZ

ok,as I mentioned ,it could be useful against the slap or round hooked bunch ,

[GinXYZ]

@naifgobory The point is that the demonstration isn't very reflective of reality. You see this happen nearly all the time in aikido demonstrations. People don't strike that way. Aikido demonstrations always have the uke essentially have them simply extending a limb to the tori as if to say, "hey there...here is my arm/leg...please do something with it. I won't resist.' This is why it takes so long to acquire any practical real world application with aikido.

@Kakaaa10

yes,it can be useful against round hooked punch .
