  • it`s easy i like it ^_^

  • and now, do it in the MMA

  • @StormbringerStudios

    I stand corrected thank you for your input.

  • this guy sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

  • @loktar1234 If I understand your question, the way to avoid being hit by the other hand is by staying tight to uke's body and keeping good posture. If you lean in, you create an opening allowing uke to gain a bit of posture and hit you.

  • @MrBohidarama Sorry, just have to jump in here. I've seen comments similar to your before. The "anyone with training" type ones. And my response to that is, if you were to get into a street fight, the chances of your opponent having any training what so ever are less than 5%. And yes, that punch is slow and poorly executed, but, done properly, this technique (not my choice for a fight) works well against any hook punch or diagonal strike.

  • @MrBohidarama No u havent seen it in the mma. but it doesnt matter becasue aikido isnt for the mma its for self defense. I would advise trying it before criticizing it. Besides most people on the street dont have any training. They probably just sit there watching mma and ufc then think that they are a pro fighter. I rest my case.

  • about the "it looks fake" factor..the only way to please these haters to break the bones of the uke every time in a demonstration...yea totally worth it :)

  • I can guarantee any one with any amount of training will not throw a punch like that. so that technique id basically useless. ever seen this in a street fight or mma match? I rest my case.
