AIKIDO VERSUS JAB [2]

A method of defending against jab using the Aikido technique "kotegaeshi." With practice, this technique can be used against more experienced strikers than my young partner here. For example, there are a few versions of a clip of Seagal Sensei showing this technique to/on Anderson Silva going around. Enjoy.

Interesting videos, but in this case, I think that with most people you just wouldn't have time to do an irimi to the side, the jab would be retracted much faster than what we see here.

@Igaluit Timing this is difficult, no doubt. One thing that can help is to use "musubi" or a kind of "sticky hands" principle to get contact on his forearm and ride it in as he retracts the punch... It certainly takes practice. Thanks for watching and for a thoughtful comment.

How about you have an AIKIDO VERSUS anything the other feels like throwing? Seems to me some of these drills want you to zig while others want you to zag. Too bad if you zig instead of zagging and walk straight into a roundhouse punch.

[EnsoAikido]

@BelloBudo007 Yes, it could happen. No technique or method works 100% of the time. But drilling specific techniques is not a waste. It conditions the neuro-muscular system so that you are able to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves in the moment. In order to play jazz, you have to master your scales, intervals and other exercises. These are the techniques that become the departure point for effective improvisation. Look for Aikido vs Free Attack in the future...

I've just watched a couple of your videos, and I'd like to say that I'm glad to have seen this.

Martial arts in forms like this are fantastic, and really do make me want to learn more about Aikido.

Also, lol @ this guy in the comments. Your verbal contact match the true form and style of your technique.

@obentozai Thanks very much. I was hoping someone out there would be able to appreciate what I was trying to do with that encounter. I hope you will consider subscribing. We have lots more AIKIDO VERSUS coming. Peace.

In this video, how do defend yourself against Santa.

@EnsoAikido I understand what you mean but in my experience it's difficult cause there's always a second shot waiting for you when you step closer . Side movements are difficult (slow) even for a pro fighter against a jab, it's easy to loose balance , and you don't have time to do anything else. It's good to contact the elbow as you say but not against a jab cause it's too quick .

@EnsoAikido First time I learn of "musubi", but I see it now that you mentioned it.. It would be interesting to see one or two other approaches,though, with the jab or dealing with a boxer.

you can't use aikido against a jab. you can reflexively avoid a jab. but if you wait for him to do a jab and he can choose when then he will hit you as you hesitate. aikido worksagainst large energy attacks. like if someone threw a ball at you, youd have time to see it/feel it and then avoid it. thats when aikdio is used.

I have added you to my favourites links. That's how aikido should be trained. This is exactly the way of aikido which is tought by Steven Seagal shihan. Very practical and effective.
