It's not about self-defense. It's not about Steven Seagal. It's not about improving your concentration. What *is* it about? Michael gives an introduction to aikido.

This was only my second time working with footage not filmed 100% by me, and it was a project for a class.

  • well said. back to training

  • @Tenor45 Thanks for commenting.

  • To add pressure and challenge, you could invite real people to really attack you in high degree tests. It would be amazing to show the world how you neutralize them without harming them. It would be important in our scientifically growing oriented society, to guarantee the future survival of Aikido, a non-fantastic Way of Peace.

  • @sebastianvalle Sounds good to me, but I'm a videographer, not an aikido practitioner. I'll ask Michael what he thinks.

  • @ccaikidoguayaquil Thank you for posting such beautiful words.

  • I used to take aikido. This is why I quit. One day, while still a white belt, my sensei asked me to attack him. Being a new student, I had not yet learned the names of the different techniques/strikes. He said something in Japanese, and, thinking I understood what he said, I attacked him with a strike to his head. I was very surprised when he was unable to defend himself, and I smacked him across his face, and his glasses went flying across the room. Embarrassed, he scolded me in front...

    respect is something different from delusional fanaticism. aikido is on a bad reputation coz of this idiotical so called aikidokas

  • @geitekop507 dont worry about him. he is just trolling

  • @xChuckNorrisKickx i Dont mean to sound like a jerk, but you are proving our point.8D

  • you can only understand aikido once you are at the dojo the rest is just words that come and go. Aikido is like Love.... no words can really explain it. Give yourself a chance at least to go to a dojo and train with a really qualify sensei. Open minded actitud is needed. It is no about techniques it is about human relations and love
