Shodokan Aikido Open Competition Summer 2008. Sheffield EIS, just tried to use the stuff that looked good that people filmed using my camera. Good effort to the Brazilian guys who flew over just for the event.

  • IT LOOKS PRETTY INTERESTING TO APRECIATE the reactons against a knife attack

    but it seems difficult to disarmn somebody without any strike

    great work

  • Yeah - achieving any technique is very difficult. The "throwing techniques" for safe competition are softened versions of strikes.For example, at 1min 25, a self defense application of that technique would be a softarm backfist to the nose or neck/collarbone. Similarly, at 4 min 08 - this would be a straight right or palm strike to the jaw/face.

  • this is just wrestling while standing up

  • Yes - whilst first trying to avoid a representation of a knife attack.

    Your point?

  • Was great to see you guys. Perhaps I get to try randori with you next time??

    melhor anseio

  • each one of those persons got cut several times while trying to disarm...while it is reasonable to believe and presume one is going to get cut during a knife fight...they got cut *a lot*.

  • @kmcbreeze Not all wrestling is about that! There are great techniques in wrestling just as there are in aikido. Just check out the lighter weight classes.

  • @sawdoctor130 Nothing wrong with that! ;)

  • Wooo sheffield aikido is the best blue belt one brown tag been doin it for three years lovin it and only 12

  • Orange belt @ 1:28 = nobber!

  • No strike = no attack, therefor no defense. In this case the attacker is motivated to strike as they can score too, hence opportunity for technique is created.

  • That is what U always say looking at the mirror. Don't You?

  • No it's not. Wrestling is about weight and power. Aikido is about technique and being soft - and that's why even a 5-feet 45-kg girl (i.e. me) can do aikido.
