How to Develop Aiki

From the Saigo Ha school of Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu comes this interesting training method that claims to teach aiki in 90 days. Over a dozen individual and paired exercises are clearly demonstrated including:
•Breathing exercises from seiza (seated position)
•Various bokken suburi (swinging wooden sword)
•2 sword exercises
•Kokyu ho

Some people who will never understand aiki is these MMA jabronni's. They think thier shit dont stink and they talk all kind of bull crap about Ki and traditional arts whne they have no f'n clue what they are talking about. There is a serious lack of discipline and respect from these ham and egger wrestler who go through the martial arts like its some kind of damend buffet. REAL MMA has been around for centuries. the Samurai were REAL mixed Martial Artists. The battlefield was thier octagobn.

@EunusRex honestly most the Aikido Daito guys are wizards and not true warriors.

I think MMA and BJJ has done alot for Jjutsu Aikijutsu and getting ppl aware of them.

Most people aren't real martail artist and the ones who are....will find the correct path.

If people here doesn't know, I should assert that Yanagi Ryuken, that shitty 'kiai master' who got his sorry arse handed by an MMA student back in 2006 was a certified Daito-ryu instructor. It's all the same mumbo-jumbo.

@HomunculusProject the way i was taught how to do it may be different in other dojo or ryu but how i was trained it is not the fingers but the muscke just below the fingers on the knife edge of the hand and the fingers are clenched gently together and slightly bent the hand looking it was cupping water if it was not sideways.

@aikizendoryu MMA guts think to be well rounded you need to know western boxing, muay thai and BJJ..no no no. To be a well rounded martial artist and not a partial artist you must master the way of the closed fist (wei-jia) and the way of the open palm (nei-jia). that is why the martial arts have always used the symbols of the Tiger (wei-jia) and the Dragon (nei-jia). the game is more than just ranges, more than just stand-up, clinch and ground. it is also about internal and external.

@aikizendoryu yea, it is not magic but science. the MMA guys think that because they can kick and punch and tap people out that they are the shit but they only got a partial art and few if any evolve further into the internal arts. in singapore where they have bare-knuckle MMA for centures before th UFC, and the west knew what MMA was they had MA tournaments. One of its most feared champions was a master of neijia (internal school of martial arts).
