Tomiki Tournament - sumiotoshi2

This is a short clip of a Tomiki Tournament in Japan. I have huge respect for Tomiki practioners because unlike other styles of Aikido they actually step up and compete.

Ki-Aikido is third rate Aikido at best.

[nappyheaded]

bwahahahahahah

[Hooyahh]

Foolish and mockery of true aikido? Well how come they still allow to have a tournament like this and JAA Still recognize this system? and to think Kenji Tomiki is the first Pres. of Japan Aikido Associatin...

[nappyheaded]

leave it alone hooyah. People like him think of Aikido as more of a religion than a martial art.

[Aikidoka2]

All im saying is that this is second rate Aikido.

[nappyheaded]

What gives you the right to say that? Have you went to a Tomiki dojo and tried these guys out? Randori and doing drills are completely different things. When I say randori I mean going hand to hand with these guys while you both are trying to throw each other. In other words sparring.

Did Ueshiba dismiss Kano's judo because it had competition? No. The two held one another in great regard. This technique works exceptionally well against stronger opponents- I've thrown a 100kg opponent with it in competition (I'm 70kg). I'm sure denouncing those who chose a different approach based on personal bias goes more against the "true teachings of aikido" than trying to understand one another and treat others with respect.

If this is second rate aikido, pleas explain what is first rate aikido? and what are the qualative differences?

Im not knocking Aikido, i train Tomiki Aikido and kungfu. So i get a lot of sparring training. 1 thing iv learned for certain, if you don't practice some form of sparring, in a street fight you will have problems.

"it is all strenght wich would not work if your opponent was stronger" "horrible technique"

Welcome to the world of combat, it sometimes isn't pretty and if your counting on a flashy move working on the street 4get about it. Aikido is seriously powerfull and dangerous.But u will not complete 1 technique if your not used to dealing with resisting opponents.

As for being "foolish and a mockery of true Aikido teachings"ETC..

1. Ueshiba told his students to make aikido there own, so thats what they did, so def not a mockery of true teachings.

2. Tomiki Aikido has a big advantage over other styles of aikido being the willingness to put there skills to the test.

[patrino]

The founder Ueshiba told his students to go and make aikido there own. Kenji Tomiki was also a high ranking Judo expert as well as one of Ueshiba's best 1st generation students. Tomiki Aikido is a great style and the only Aikido that has any interest in testing against resisting opponents.
