I'm sorry for all the questions but I'm really just trying to know

because this style really interests me. I hope I will have the pleasure

to one day practice with you and experience your type of practice.

Again, thank you for posting the video.

Thank you for the appreciation and as for your questions. Yes we all came from the Manila Aikido Club / Philippine Aikiai dojo in Quiapo. The techniques came from the dojo itself and from research. We also love the Seagal style of aikido. This video was taken from one of the guy's company gym. Enjoy Aikido, you gain true friends in an aikido dojo.

Beautiful Aikido, thanks for posting this :)

When applied offensively, Aikido is mostly used against people who don't know how to break falls. The main reason why you see aikidoka so eaily falling is to REDUCE injury, that is, this is not a "realistic" battle scenario. If you don't break fall, and flow with the attack, you will certainly break bones.

Also you mentioned Matsuoka ukemi. Has any of you had the chance of practicing in any Matsuoka affiliated dojo?or Seagal affiliated dojo?Or these are products of your own efforts and research?Of the dojos I visited, and seen, yours is the only group in the Phils. so far who consciously practice and research on Seagal style. Sure, individuals in some dojos are interested and research as individuals, but yours is the only one I have seen doing it as a group. Again, my appreciation to your group.

[danrvil]

Sensei, then this is not limited to a few senior Aikidoka in your group?Would you say this is still the style being practiced in any MAC/Phil Aikikai affiliated dojos?

[danrvil]

Or maybe this is not Seagal Style

I see in the video but just what is really normal practice in your dojo?

Is there a conscious move in your part to adopt a Seagal style of Aikido

in your practice?Is this style practiced in all

Manila Aikido Club/Manila Aikikai affiliated clubs?

[danrvil]

I am just curious if the Seagal style is just an unintentional similarity, meaning this style is practiced from the beginning of Manila Aikido Club/Manila Aikikai by its founders, particularly Omar Camar Sensei, or this Seagal style is added by

other seniors of the club later on?

[danrvil]

I also notice similarities to Seagal style of Aikido (iriminage, atemi, I'm a fan of these techniques). From what I hear, the style in Manila Aikido Club/Manila Aikikai is a traditional style practiced from the 60's by Aikikai in Japan and hasn't lost the intensity and style ever since.

[danrvil]

I noticed from following other postings that you

have a relationship with the Manila Aikido Club/ Manila Aikikai in Quiapo.

I havn't had the chance to practice there yet but I hope to do so in the future.

By the way Senseis, where is this dojo in the video?
