@ironfisteagleclaw Onegaishi masu!
I really disagree with the idea that techniques which are stronger, or more destructive, are not Aiki. If you are facing an attack which is focused and destructive, you should blend in with it. Aikido does not, IMHO, seek to dominate an attacker, but rather to give pause and reflection in a heated moment. The best way to deal with a real hothead who will not see the futility of pressing the attack is to help him appreciate all of the consequences of violence.

I just read Gozo Shioda's Aikido Shugyo, and what you're demonstrating is, at least according to him, the secret to atemi, and what makes it aiki or not is whether nage is focused and intent on capturing uke's aggression and dissipating it. In the moment you begin that sayu undo/sokumen movement, if you really connect with uke to show him the opportunity to take ukemi, it doesn't mean you got evil if you redirect uke's resistance back on him. You gave uke a moral choice. That's very Aiki IMHO.

"Not very Aiki, but I find it street effective." Well said. Thanx 4 posting this. Haymakers can be very disconcerting if you don't prepare for them. Also, love the way you stop them from completing their move.

hi. This is another stunning technique and I love it. However, it can only be used when we are not blocking too late. How can we determine if someone is going to attack early enough?

This can be done from a shirt grab as well. Trust me you hook that elbow hard even if you are blocking to slow it will still work. It just takes work but it can be used. My best to you. Peace!
