大東流合気柔術 Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu - Shihōnage with a Sword

Kondo Katsuyuki (近藤勝之 1945-) of Daitō-ryū demonstrates shihōnage with a sword.


Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu (大東流合気柔術), originally called Daitō-ryū Jujutsu (大東流柔術, Daitō-ryū Jūjutsu), is a Japanese martial art founded by Takeda Sōkaku (武田 惣角 1859-1943). Takeda had extensive training in several martial arts (including Kashima Shinden Jikishinkage-ryū and sumo) and referred to the style he taught as "Daitō-ryū" (literally, "Great Eastern School").

i jus wonder how would stand up to Brazilian jiujitsu

[asimov231]

@ronzzo45 I "jus" wonder how BJJ would stand up to a sword or a gun or a backstabber or an atomb bomb.

Try understand what the nature of Combat Arts and the nature of Budo are. Do not set arts against each other, rather see all as one. If you want transitory power, go buy a gun.

If you want real power, that is real mastery, then do anything at all as well as you can do it, as mindful as you can do it. It is not what you "beat" but what you are.

I am sure sword would "win."

[asimov231]

@ronzzo45 In the end there are no martial arts, only masters. Some see only people they want to beat, learning robotics with no respect for anyone. A person cannot see the path of Budo without respect for real masters. In BJJ especially, I find it sad when people are talking evil against their teachers. Without teachers no one would have anything. They would have to become Buddha to know all from nothing, so to say.

I have huge respect for Kondo Katsuyuki. It is not easy to teach.

@ronzzo45 To be honest Aiki-jujitsu has a different emphasis to Brazilian Jujitsu, as it's more about Weapons. However in my experience every Martial Art has something to offer, I did Jujitsu & Aikido & I found them both very useful.

well.. but if i woudn't wait until you supply ikee and just punch in a belly?

in regards to the perpetual arguments over practicality, this is only one of many techniques used in this style, and is being demonstrated in an historical context. Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu and the Aikido forms that have descended from it all have practical applications in modern self-defense situations. They are practiced cooperatively to perfect form and preserve the integrity of the art generationally, but when seen in real application they are indisputably and devastatingly effective.

Thank you for posting these great videos. I'm a student of Nihon Goshin Aikido and very much appreciate being able to see such impeccable technique work performed in the heritage my discipline descended from, especially the detailed demonstration of how the techniques evolved from sword fighting. Beautifully done.

@billgober2 This is all very theoretical. The audience worldwide has seen how things like Muay thai , BJJ , and eventually MMA dominate the world of no rule fighting. We've never seen fighters use such technique as shown in this video. The closest would be Steven Stegal in his movies which aren't real. I can imagine that this is useful in someway or the other but I want to see it in front of me to get convinced, just as I got convinced about BJJ after having seen the UFC1.

[billgober2]

@MazenAlsharief I do agree with you that if you are a ground expert and you just tackle one person, again one person, and they have no ground experience, then yeah you win. It just doesn't apply to this technique or why it does or doesn't work.

[billgober2]

@MazenAlsharief

Where were we talking about a one on one fight? This technique is for battlefield or multiple attacker situations or a situation where the people are armed. Daito Ryu has ground techniques and many are superior in application to the common jujutsu most other arts think they have. This technique wouldn't be used once someone started taking you to the ground. If you don't grab the wrists this technique doesn't happen another one does. Your point is null.

IF YOU LOVE THIS ART , LOOK IN YOU TUBE,, KU FU DALLA SICILIA CON FURORE

[MazenAlsharief]

@billgober2 In a one on one fight, taking an opponent to the ground is very practical, as a matter of fact. You have superior knowledge in ground fighting, while your opponent is like a fish taken out of the water, not knowing how to behave on the ground. It's a matter of where your medium is ^^ !

[billgober2]

@blackmetalwhiteguy

good way to look at it man you hit it on the head

[billgober2]

@MazenAlsharief That would be because the technique in the video is one of 2000 techniques so no its not designed for a double leg, its designed for a double arm grab that would prevent you from drawing your weapon. Does the technique make more sense now? In a real combat situation I'm not putting myself on the ground whether I'm on top or not because I don't want to get stomped or killed by the second guy, now the take down doesn't seem too practical either does it?
