  • Funny how this move done by an Aikidoka is "unrealistic" and "useless" but done by a BJJ instructor it suddenly becomes "legit" and even "cool".

    No offense to You, Ari, I'm just talking about the "TMAs suck" people.

  • You make a good point Hotoro86. Remember, I am both and if I put on my hakama for this video, attitudes seem to change.

    What is SUPER funny is that you can find this move in GJJ (BJJ) for their knife combative series.hmmmm...guess it must hold some water then huh ;-) I don't need to have others convinced about a move. I know it works because I've done it. I just want to share that there are more ways to skin a cat.

  • Ari, Can you post some of your tournament matches or some of your students competing in tournaments(BJJ TOURNAMENTS) . I haven't seen any.

  • Sure bro. They just started late last year. Here is one:

    we have another one coming up in a few weeks too. They aren't super common in our neck of the woods.

  • so everyone seems to say that these techniques would never work in real sittuatons... and that the uke (i believe is the term) having an understanding of the movements, assists.. i have always felt that Aikido has tons of practical applications (obviously if done correctly) in real scenerios. I am a fan of Bjj, MT, Judo, and wrestling.. valuing your input, what would you say to this common understanding?

  • The real question is if the person applying them understand the concepts behind the move and WHEN to use it. This lock isn't magically and found in every system of martial arts-including Gracie Jiu Jitsu. I've used this dozens of times in my job and it works wonderfully. The uke only assists in so much as not to get hurt or broken in a demonstration. When done to someone who doesn't know the move, the result 'looks' messy and uncoordinated-but then again-that is REAL fighting and combat.

  • Interesting, I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw Kotegaesh as the topic. I have a rank as well in Akido when I was dabbling in it. Beginners rank but I sucked up allot of my knowledge about balance and center from Akido and its helped my martial arts. Shihonage, Iriminage, Kotegaesh I always thought were very useful. Katenagi not so much so I hardly use it... But Out of the five, Ikio, Nikio Sanky Yanko and gokyo... I believe Nikio to be the best of them all. But yeah I hear ya Akido is helpful

  • aaaaaaa 5\5

  • i have a question:-

    Do BJJ has a weightlifting training or resistance training (bodyweight and other.....)?

    Can u give me a schedule?

  • You're right and huge KUDOS to you for showing people both ways.

    Keep up the good work! :)

  • when i was in middle school, this older kid came up to me, said "want to see something cool?" and i said "sure" like a jackass.... dude grabbed my wrist and did exactly the technique shown here...before i knew wnat was happening, i was on the concrete with the wind knocked out of me. i was surprised how effective it was!

  • The difference between practice, and street would be this: In practice, uke will jump/roll with the technique because he knows its coming. Torre also doesnt FULLY apply said technique. Thus, both partners still like each other after practice.

    Done on the street, you YANK on the wrist, the wrist breaks probably before the attacker ever thinks about leaving his feet or realizing what happens. Doubt it Try grabbing my wrist sometime in a dark alley. They do work done half way they hurt a lot
