Munetsuki - Hiji Otoshi (irmi or entering)

Somehow I forgot to add this technique to the playlist. It's actually just about my favorite technique that I have on here. When done correctly, it has such an amazing feel of power; little effort but maximum effect. Yes, it takes timing which means practice. If you pull this technique off, you won't need another!

I have a question. I've worked with some boxers and they are trained to not step through with their back foot like your Uki.How would Aikido defend against an attacker with some basic boxing experience? Thank you for your time.

[kyushoaikiguy]

My answer to that is this: don't box a boxer. What I mean is, a boxer fights within certain parameters. He is trained to not block, but rather, move to deflect or absorb strikes. He will rarely overextend, but he still will do so on occasion. You have to give him the reason to overextend. However, my short answer to you is to make use of irimi. That's how I use aikido against boxers, or other non-committed attacks. Easier said than done though.

hi sensei i prctice aikido aikikai and i have a questions the entrance what do you say vs boxes punch is in irimi right?? but in irimi wich technique i can do? iriminage? kokyunage? ushiro kubishime? but wich more i can do?

i can do a tenkan to defend? thanks sensei grettings from venezuela sorry for my english

[kyushoaikiguy]

golfio13, I base my defense more on principle than technique. However, what has worked best for me in the past is iriminage and sayunage. Also be sure and work atemi because that helps lead the mind. Good luck!

[kyushoaikiguy]

You bet. Glad you took the time to watch and comment!

great breakfall ;D



[Patricdickson]

Aikido is a martial art. There are no competions, therefore there are no rules. Any atemi that can be placed is "allowed".

I think Steven Seagal has been a massive influence on you.

[dramsrle]

teacher what do you think about ninjutsu?on whole you tube you videos are the best for aikido.For ninjutsu-choson ninja

[DeStijlBenighted]

I completely agree with Kyushoaikiguy. The important point is ma-ai (distance). You cannot use the Boxer's psychological ground rules (same for most pugilistic approaches). This can be difficult if the opponent has a strong will (or Ki), you often see Aiki degenerate quickly when Ma-ai is compromised. If you frustrate a boxers attack distance he/she will either commit strongly or the situation will diffuse. As Sensei says, it is easier said than done and is every bit as phsycological as physical

[cerebralnation]

You can Aikido-box a boxer? Throw out all the punches and there is a lot boxing can offer Aikido which helps to illustrate my opinion that some-one needs to build on Morihei Ueshiba philosophy. At the most basic level boxers are taught to avoid the attack. Much like your first rule. If you can learn how to move like a boxer you can avoid a vast percentage of their attacks until you are ready to control the situation. Is this a contradiction?

[cerebralnation]

Is that a palm strike? Are strikes of any kind allowed in Aikido?

full speed is awsome
