if you have trained aikido you would know it dosnt matter...either or you can still do this technique. It annoys me people that comment on somthing they know nothing about.

I think alot of ju jitsu and aikikitsu has infiltrated back into aikido. Ueshiba was very specific that i. you shouldn't be where the target of the attack is (mainly due to other attackers) ii. techniques are done with the feet not the hands (i.e. it is the subtle movement of body positioning through shifting your body that allows the technique to work).

Timing is everything eh, hence when a REAL punch comes you won't react in time. This is fairyland stuff. Keep it real, SPAR

[Gunslinger800]

hmmm, really good stuff! Some of the movements/techniques here are quite similar to Wing Chun.

@Junjokar i know!!! and you are absolutely right! i hold no grudge to the masters or the virtue by it self im just saying ==try defining your art to special needs and those are street alike. i dont want to hold degrees and belts and one day some newcomer asshole in brazillian jujutsu gets drunk and kicks my ass. trust me i saw people like that----they do not get inside of budo. they dont even care of martial art spirit. they train like classic boxer or wrestler.--no do no spirit no nothing,,.

@ookami3380 The only people thinking "this leg goes here and this one there" are unexperienced people. I learn Aikido in a structured way, but I know that perfection is the ability to use it instinctively.

@yanyanmustdie if you cant see a punch/stab/grab/takedown/gozil­la/whatever coming, it's over anyway

[ookami3380]

i tried aikido and for 3,5 yrs i really liked it,. but my perspective has changed when i met systema guys. they are playing it at the moment they are attacked. not thinking oh this leg goes here and hand there..-no ,. just instinctive techniques with maximum effectiveness. of course basic daito ryu aikijutsu is everpresent in all defensive techniques in any m.a. but instead of endless training the same things "if then else" type of locks throws etc. you try not to think too much and DO.

[yanyanmustdie]

what if you cannot see the punch coming?

[trevchar]

Could you please do a video of the turning/spinning variant of Irime Nage? I have no trouble executing the variant shown, but I just can't seem to make the turning variant work, no matter how many different tips and points of feedback my own sensei gives me. I'd be grateful for a different perspective. Arigato, Sensei

You could go into a choke from there as well very nice.
