¿Advanced Aikido?

[kyushoaikiguy]

Well, "Advanced" was a title to keep the sections separate. Personally, I feel to have a truly "advanced" technique, it needs to be a fundamental technique done with proficiency. There are no real "advanced" techniques to me.

I like how you show how to deal with two attackers. Is it the same principle dealing with three or more? I would assume so. Do you have any videos showing how to deal with three or more attackers?

[kyushoaikiguy]

I find dealing with three is easier than two; you always have someone to put in the way. Four attackers is tough. Five and six now it's almost a cardio workout. You have to constantly be moving to the open areas, cutting and cutting.  In our dojo we only use 3 attackers at full speed. If you can do 3, you can do more. I will use five or six while practicing the principles of randori.

@kyushoaikiguy i always work with 5 attackers and agree that it is definatly a workout! i admire your technique and noticed that you use the same tactis as me (get them in each others way) being a 5" 16 year old girl fighting against 5 policemen and cagefighters is tough but aikido is a rare martial art that allows it to work

[kyushoaikiguy]

@eyore8 Thank you! I think it's awesome that you have the dedication and commitment to train in aikido as a 16 year old! I'm very impressed. I wish I had started at that age!!! Good luck to you and keep up the hard training.

@GingerOreo Also, with any ammount of attackers, you don't wait for them to come to you. you always go to them. If you wait for them, they can surround you, etc. Also, if two came, you'd go to the outside, take one out, use him as a shield maybe, go to the next one, etc. If it's a 3 person situation, never go down the middle. As soon as you go down the middle, the outer two surround you and you're instantly circled.

nice

@GingerOreo If I may, I have tried with a friend to attack a shodan. We did attack him at the exact same time and he did catch me so as to use me as a shield to protect you from the second opponent. It is not just about your technic but also your position and how you move. this kind of video helps you understand better what you can do. It does not teach you what to do in this or that situation because the possibilities are endless. Aïkido teaches you to understand by yourself what you can do.

well come try to attack me an i will.

[solenSenshure]

You move on the outside, in an open space zone, and throw the closest attack between you and the other attackers. They'll either stop or just collapse on the guy already on the ground.

[vrhunskimajstor]

yea write!!! trow me like that!!!

[GingerOreo]

May I know how do you deal with a situation whereby two or more attackers really fight you EXACTLY at the same time? The aikido videos I watched are rather more like one by one coming up to you, even this included. So what if while you're handling one attacker, another sneaks up behind you, and another comes up to you from the side and all grab you simultaneously?
