Interesting techniques but, blocking a mawashi-geri with what seems to be your knee is never a good idea, you might end-up with your kneecap flying.

@flooddrop Its not the knee, the shin, as they do in muay thai. And it is not a block essentially.

@thehymner The point of a demonstration is to show something. You may not like or understand what is being demonstrated, but that doens't mean its pointless. Maybe it is to you, but then again, some people might argue your posting is pointless and not a bit disrespectful at that. It is not so much a question of can I engage in real spars ( what is a "real" sparring match, if not a contradiction in terms if related to "real use or fighting") but do I want to. Not really. I have nothing to prove.

@JohnnyBoyCali At least I'm good at something. Once again, and I know reading is a bit difficult if you have your opinion already set: these clips were made in making a book. In shooting photographs for it. Having an opponent fight me at every turn would make for a not so good book. But if you want to close your mind, be my guest. See how far that flies.

@aikistok Sorry but I agree with everybody else that your demonstrations suck and that you're only good in slow motion against an opponent who is allowing himself to be easily taken down.

[aikistok]

@thehymer And thanks for worrying about my students. They are OK though. Maybe you would like to join the one day.

[thehymner]

rather then putting up pointless demonstrations like these, film an actual match/spar where you put it to real use. If Hapkido can engage in real spars, you should be able to do something similar. I hope your students didn't buy into your "skill" based on your showmanship.

Wonderful how every expert gets involved.....cross train..go try it. Every martial art has something to offer....people should learn to shut up....and ....well learn. Aikido is not the be all end all....it is an approach. Most people who yap, haven't even tried aikido....some who have, trained for a month......when you get to shodan....you only start to learn...then you appreciate what it is. Is it the magin pill? No it isn't.......the pill my friends does not exist. Only training does.
