@TheMirzu When we learn techniques at my dojo our sensei always point out options for atemi if you happen to get in a real situation and need to use a bit more force, but we don't do much with it usually because our specific style, Kokikai Aikido, places a really strong emphasis on minimum effort maximum effect so that theoretically you wouldn't need to use it. But I agree its very good to know your options for practical purposes and is even negligent to not be shown them.

love this one

@TheRogueMonk -- Understood. Good to see respectful and intelligent dialogue on Youtube of all places -- did something happen while I was away?? I spoke to my Aikido sensei about this vid -- as his style is similar to the sensei here. He learned it from a guy in St. Louis who was a student of Sensei Segal. I got a lot out of my teacher's style, and applied it to my other martial arts, where it has served me well.

@TheMirzu I agree pure aikido in combat could work against you. Atemis are a great thing to use.

@adaptiveagile i promote doing this... i just would like to keep principals intact... i am not saying he is not doing that. I just dont know the words to these techniques .. so its unfamiliar to what i know to be ordinary grading...
there is nothing wrong with adding and connecting .. the princiapsl are very important inner and outer

@TheRogueMonk - If it's a combination of moves you learn, then perhaps he has adapted them to create this sequence. I respect your perspective whether you're a traditionalist or progressive. I started out many years ago as a traditionalist but over the years my philosophy took a progressive approach (after Royce :-). Just me, not peddling anything. I like this guy's approach. I integrated Aikido and other traditional arts into my BJJ and especially Krav Maga. Made it my own and kept adapting.

@marcopolo2001 we dont have these techniques in aikido... i don tknow where he has them from but its a combination of moves we learn.

Obviously he knows about acupoints.
Liver 14 is - as the title suggests - the 14th point on the liver meridian.
In acupuncture and acupressure the point is used to move stagnant chi, relieve lung disorders, heart problems etc...
Really superb demonstration he makes it look so easy.

U can strike in aikido and its called atemi, u dont want to use pure aikido in real self defence.

stuff you know nothing about ,better you don't judge
I love the nonchalant understatement of the year, "very painful."
I have only the highest regard for the art of Aikido. Great instruction and technique-- thanks for sharing.
