I agree and also disagree.. its true that you cant prance around like a girl in a dress in a real fight..but there is nothing ineffective about the wrist control techniques and throwing techniques in real life. I would rather be kneeling over a downed opponent in any wrist lock than being on the ground with them trying to use a whole body submission like arm bar etc.

This sensei is fantastic. Clear instruction, good demonstration, and practicality in usage.

These techniques aren't predicated on brute strength. If you understand balance, momentum, and movement you will win. The wrist lock, at it's very heart, is a perfect microcosm of the art.

Too many kids that watch martial arts flicks think it's the martial art style that matters. It's what is between your ears that matters more.

How am I supposed to take this seriously when you're wearing dresses?

@dobberdoss You are right, but it is hard to explain and describe that with a video. I'm sure this guy knows what you are talking about. I do both Aikido and Chinese Boxing. When I spar, I will use an Aikido technique if the opportunity presents itself. The trick is to literally manipulate your opponent. This is very tricky and takes lots of work. It gets into advanced levels that I don't even understand yet, but know about.

@fairtradeandy it's not spiritual, it's understanding. Aikido comes from Jiu jitsu which shares the same ideas of balance and movement... as should Krav Maga.

@mmunis yeah saved my head many times.... the worst one is head on collision wih a speeding car.. im on bike.. i flew into the air landing at ground almost hitting the door (with face) of a still moving car.. i break the fall by my hands.. i suffered only minor bruises. hehe

@mystaBZA i know this is from 9 months ago, but agree. so flippin true.

[fnagel]

When you show it at full speed it becomes clear how effective Aikido can be.

Cheers

Aikido is the most beautiful martial art Ive known.

@MrRichard911 Please read and understand my comment before you reply. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY AGAIN. Also you CAN get out of a wrist lock. ( and I will teach you this UN-special technique anytime you like.)

Boaz Sensei I am a Krav Maga Instructor and I love your videos. I see that Martial Art has a (for lack of a better term) spiritual component that deals with balance or harmony and Aikido seems to address such real questions. I see that you address such things and I (After 23 years of practice) I finally began to see that to go to the next level being in harmony with attackers is a true objective rather than just hurting them. I love my style but I see that it is missing this spiritual component.

@H4I2I2EE The flowing hakama conceals the movement of the feet making anticipating uke's moves more difficult. The founder, Morihei Ueshiba, insisted that everyone wear the hakama, but he lived in a time and culture where it was standard formal wear. There are 7 folds in the hakama that symbolise the seven virtues of budo:

1 - Yuki... courage

2 - Jin... benevolence.

3 - Gi... integrity.

4 - Rei... courtesy.

5 - Makoto... sincerity

6 - Chugi... loyalty.

7 - Meiy... reputation, dignity
