Aikido and Physics

Dr. Dimakis, involved in the martial art Aikido, does a demonstration of the physics involved.

Aikido, the Japanese martial art, is distinguished by it's goal to defend while protecting the attacker from injury. Aikido deals with a blending of motions as well as redirecting of forces from the attacker which ultimately results in the expense of very little physical energy.

In the video, you will be able to see bodies in motion and hear descriptions from Dr. Dimakis of what is taking place in terms of physics.

This is just what I was looking for! I've just begun to take aikido classes again at a new school. These where some of the lesson my old teacher talked about repeatedly, and yet somehow i managed to forget most of it. Little awkward for uke, but i think it added more to the video. thanks
