@kungfufyr Sensei Thambu is definitely NOT an ego-maniac. He is a stickler for correct ettiquete and for form who expects the respect he shows to his Senseis. As far as being a 'hack' Sensei Thambu has earned a world wide reputation for excellence. Your opinion seems to be based on dislike rather than observation.

Great demonstration. powerful, yet full of Aiki, especially the sanindori jiyu waza. I'd like to feel his technique. When i go to melbourne, hopefully i could drop by.

@packoftwenty Your a dumb ass...the stance is there because aikido is from sword fighting. if they both had swords they would hold them up to each other as a way to prepare to block. Since this is an Aikido demo. Thambu let his guard down as a way to offer a peaceful resolution and his uke denied it so he attacked.

@packoftwenty its a stance you dumbfuck...it had no correlation to the actual attack

Hi 8)

Just so u know (as in I'm not trying to be a dick), a mate of mine was head doorman for yrs for a very popular bar in my city

He's a kickboxer

After yrs of xp he said that Aikido, Hapkido, Jujitsu, Kick Boxing & basic Wing Chung where the best things he saw on the street but Aikido students where the only one's where age, size & strength seemed to be irrelevant to their ability to defend themselves.

Again, just for info's sake 8)

@packoftwenty ur an Fake-ido idiot if you thing tht the Kumai stance is bullshit, we know tht people on the streets arent going to come up to us standing like tht & they may throw wild punches at us, but tht stances is wat we (the person defending themselves) uses to remind ourselves of the power of forward movement & centring urself. if you watch ul realise tht wen they are stood like tht, unlike karate or judo: everything is 4ward we arent turned 2 the side, meaning all powr is utilised. twat

@packoftwenty That's Kumai you fucking idiot it's the stance that you learn Aikido in and it's formal to do it before performing a move...did you think he just decided to put his hands up and then back down?

[packoftwenty]

1:24 - freeze it right there! That sums up 'Fake-ido' in its entirety! A willing 'victim' who doesn't know how to fight properly, holding his hands out like an idiot.

The problem that the cretins who follow 'Fake-ido' have is that it DOESN'T WORK, and there is no EVIDENCE that it works, so they spend their entire lives trying to defend their stupid 'art', saying "We don't use it for fighting" and other such bullshit. Who are the cretins who PAY to learn this crap?
