If someone grabs you in a bear hug, sink, lift your elbows up, strike the ribs with your elbow, grab one hand and go under the hand, twist the hand by moving shifting your hips to one side (keep the assailant's elbow parallel to the ground), then cut down the arm. For more detailed information, visit us at Florida Aikikai at 730 North Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304. Located in Holiday Park across from the Parker Playhouse.

anlamsız- Etkisiz ve kötü bir çalışma... Kötü..

grappling as a sport ok, grappling as self defence no,open hand strikeing, low kicks and stomping also not grappling back is better.

[haggholm]

Please do not empower women to place themselves in chokeholds. Instead empower them to seek out e.g. a judo dojo or Brazilian jiu-jitsu gym, where they will be taught how to grapple with people who are actually providing realistic resistance.

@jjhaywood It's nice to discuss these things with someone with experience in Wing Chun. Probably, that's the chinese art (as Choy Lee Fut and some old shaolin styles as well) to close to real Aikido core and martial development.

If you see this vid on Wing Chun, you could say you have just watched us practising atemis in an Aikido training session. These techniques and variations are part of the Aikido program and/or practised regularly and seriously.

@jjhaywood Anyway, even when the Aikido of the Founder O Sensei is plenty rich of martial resources, techniques and tricks, the core of that Aikido is not seen on youtube, DVDs or books. Nishio, Saotome, Sunadomari, Saito, Shioda, Kuroiwa, etc., learnt from Founder Ueshiba that from certain level the practise must be taught personally from master to pupil. And there's not even a single pic or film allowed during those sessions so as not to show them massively.....

@jjhaywood For instance: under Saotome Shihan training program, We practise the Aikido He likes, which according to him, is "the Aikido as I learnt from the Founder". On empty hands it includes A LOT of techniques from: Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Karate, Boxing, Muai Thay and Kung Fu (kicks). Using weapons we have a very complete training programm that includes Philippine Kali-Arnis (knives/stick), Kobudo, Sipalki, Iaido/Kendo, Kenjutsu, Shuriken-jutsu (ninja style), and the mastring of Yari and Naginata.

@jjhaywood Mate, Aikido, as Karate-Do, Judo or Kung Fu arts are, if well practised and understood, respectable martial systems. There's only one Aikido: the one it works. If it works it's Aikido, if it doesn't, it's not. Simple. Nishio, one of my favourites, used to teach what Aikido is: a martial art. The problem with some aikidoists is that they practise the art in a wrong way. But We can't blame Aikido but those who practise it incorrectly...

[dojomania]

how about atemi ? strike to the top of his hand, soften him up..he's bigger than you. Also to end your technique, you only have maybe two steps on him, you're not getting away easily. Dislocate his shoulder, then you can WALK away.

To be fair, you can't just say someone's right because they're respected. As soon as you push his arms up, they're going to tighten around his neck. You need to push his arms out, exit from the side, attack him first before he can attack you, then take the sankyo. Or at least that's what I'd do, as I don't want to get strangled.
