These are some great Aikido demonstrations. Well done! People who do not practice the art do not understand its practicality unless they get on the mat for a while. I switched to Aikido after 4 years of full contact karate. Don't knock it until you try it. Given all the choices in Japan many police are train with Aikido.

Because in world wars they don't use Martial Arts, they use guns...

Tai Chi is one of the most ferocious Martial Arts that exists, but nowadays people no longer practice its fighting skills. The "Martial Art" Tai Chi is nearly forgotten. That's too bad in my opinion.

I do not understand why many demonstraters feel the need to make the landings so loud. As a practioner of Aikido, I can say from watching my teacher demonstrate, and lecture, that it is entirely possible to do these without any sound at all (at least not the thumps). They are traditionally included to spice things up for a demonstration. Still unneeded. Over all, good video.

@Shiners09, try 10 years of practice, then start making questions...

@SunTzuKhagan being only 1 year into your training, yes you should be focussing on big, launched (very committed) attacks. These are best used in order to learn timing and technique. As you progress the attacks can become smaller and more (for want of a better term) realistic. After a while you should be able to say to your partner, "Attack me." They will say "How?". You can say, "It doesn't matter." :)

To try to end the MMA debate, I am a 3rd dan aikido instructor in brighton east sussex UK, last year for six mnths 3 times a week for an hour and half I was teach 5 or six MMA guys who worked out in the same gym as where Iwas teaching Aikido.

Well they loved, honestly! the techniques were smooth circular but very much to the point, (ever felt kotogaeshi from a full on choke hold?), Anyways the upshot, a students used kotogaeshi in a MMA match and got disqualified for small joint manipulation.

@Shiners09 Honestly, I think that the only difference between this video and the street is that, in street, people don't know how to fall without being hurted. My sensei's son has once won a fight against five men, and finished with just a bruise in the back...

People that say would this work on the street what a stupid question people seem to think that just because someone is a street fighter they are just major bad asses in reality most of them dont even know that much about how to fight and im pretty shure after one of these guys slammed them on the pavement a few times or broke there bones that street fighter would give up.
