Couldn't you have said from the beginning that you are a worthy representative of the failure of this society, without necessarily revealing it under every comment ? Unless you actually think you said something intelligent …

Hmmm.....I beg to differ. Ai Ki is an energy based art. Yes the demonstrations are face value ....but the principals of meeting force, following force, power/energy misdirections/ reversals simple 3 sided physics to totally dis balance an openet while simultaneously employing well practiced boxing to take down/ grappling are VERY real, not to mention a core principal in every REAL martial art. It's also about balance awareness... disruption....such as ....judo, shoot wrestling, core ju jit su.... Plus let's be honest here ....what it really comes down to is who the teacher is/was and how they taught it.....for example,. The man that taught me aikido concepts was an Olympic boxing coach to Roy Jones Jr and additionally one of the first Americans to knock a Thai Boxer out in Thailand.....safe to say the guy taught me how to street fight. He also taught me about flowing energy and how to manipulate it....then how to blend both with real functionality.... Tell ya the truth....I used to practice Ai Ki in mosh pits...no shit. Most fun I ever had ! Also had more people buying me drinks after taking a few minutes at set break to talk with all the guys I threw around like rag dolls but never let em hit the floor...it was just practice....wasnt trying to hurt people. Question to you.....how long have you trained martial art and what systems?

He was undefeafed for decades. When this video was made he was recognized as the leading martial artist in Japan and this was Japan gearing up for war. His ukes in these videos are all high level jujitsu practioners. I trained with one of his students in 1989, a 70 year old woman and she rang my bell. 15 minutes of my life where I desperately wished I was somewhere else. You simply don't know what you are talking about.

“Aikido was painfully debunked at the beginning of the MMA era” … “I think there is no need to add anything else, it's all Your Honor.”

My friend, I want to be kind with you. If you are looking for a martial practice that you can reveal to your opponent in the context of a competition, that's simply not Aikido. If, however, you are looking for an effective technique in the context of a real aggression by someone who does not know and does not imagine that his target is capable of defending himself, there are several, and it just so happens that Aikido may also be among these. While I don't want to change your opinion in any way (which in fact I sincerely hope remains unchanged), I hope to have at least raised the doubt that you and some other "debunkers" may simply not be able to contextualize a martial art, simply because your concept of martial art is limited solely to what happens inside a cage.

All of you people who try to deny the power of Aikido are so full of crap. Try me...

And so fake.

Did'nt you mean the most overrated?

@@longdongsilver4719 Do you know any other martial arts master who could read the thoughts of those around him (like Morihei)?

@@arjunadan3812 Do you have any proof that he could do that?

@@longdongsilver4719 I read about it în the book "The power of harmony" >the biography of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido - by John Stevens, but also many other amazing abilities of Morihei. Morihei Ueshiba is the greatest martial arts practitioner in history. At the age of 80 he could disarm any opponent, knock down any number of attackers, pin down his opponent with a single finger. In 1942, during World War II, he had his third state of enlightenment, realizing the absurdity of war, understanding that the true path of the warrior is the Art of Peace, the true spiritual warrior being the one who has the ability to conquer using the force of love. An aikido practitioner does not aim to destroy the opponent, but to control the aggression, so that the aggressor understands that it is not through violence that he will be able to get what he wants. Aikido is M.Ueshiba's gift to humanity, it is truly a spiritual path that can transform the practitioner in a profound way, on all level. Although invincible as a warrior, he was primarily a follower of peace, abhorring fighting, war, violence of any kind. Besides, Aikido, the martial path founded by him, translates as "Art of Peace". In 1925, following a fight in which he, unarmed, faced the furious attacks of a master swordsman, he had his first enlightenment, as a result of which he understood that a true warrior must constantly manifest Divine Love. In December 1940, following the practice of a purification ritual, he experienced the second state of enlightenment, after which he understood that the techniques should be used for the cultivation of life, virtue, wisdom and not for the destruction of people.

O'Sensei came from a fighting arts background. However, with Aikido, he specifically designed an art that aimed to protect practice opponent(s). The focus of this art was self development. There are many many full on combat arts available. Aikido is not one of them.

@@jeremymanson1781 Entonces no es un arte marcial, solo un ejercicio físico

@@jeremymanson1781 If that's true then I don't disagree. It's a visually pleasing art.

@@aguilabet1294 yes and no 🌻 Some of my Aikido Sensei have told us Aikido is not a 'martial art' in the usual understanding of that term. The ultimate goal is to be spontaneous and formless. And Aikido is non-competitive and has no 'rules'. The ideal is that when conflict arises it is resolved without any kind of clash. This is simply a 'direction of travel', as in reality, very few attain this and if conflict arises of course we first look after ourselves and worry about the aggressor very much as an after-thought!

@@jeremymanson1781 Si no tiene utilidad para el combate no es un arte marcial. En la guerra o la supervivencia tambien se corre, pero en un corredor no es una artista marcial. Los escritores tambien narran las guerras, pero eso no los hace artistas marciales . No se puede confundir a la gente, para hacer prevalecer un punto solo por interes propio.

If you watch closely, he takes their center first before throwing them and of course the defender is also demonstrating how to fall correctly(escape the technique) in different situations.

Of course, it is a scripted demonstration.

It would be less embarrassing to just say you do not understand what you are looking at.

@@alanpower8234 I knew a guy that actually fought a challmatch against Morihei Ueshiba in the 1950's. He said Osensei was very good . Most people do not understand that what you see in a martial arts demonstration is not a representation of that art's combat effectiveness, it is a showcase of the skills of the presenters in that art. Whether that is something like this video, karate students doing katas, TKD guys breaking boards, or BJJ students doing self defense demos.

How do you think samurai practiced disarming an opponent without killing each other? This is an ancient art made modern.

That's reserved for the Japanese only.

Some of the Imperial Japanese intelligence agents (sekihotai?) received Aikido training initially, but this was changed to karate later because it is quicker to learn and become effective.

All of the Japanese soldiers were trained in Brazilian juijitsu. Duh?!
