Always with the grab the hand. I have literally never seen this in a street fight. It probably made more sense wielding a sword that people might wrist grab but unarmed it never happens and if the only thing keeping you in pain is holding on you’d let go unless this happens under extreme speed. Sometimes people will grab your chest in a bar fight but the common occurrence is over hands or straights with their dominant hand. All this makes sense if your wielding a sword against an unarmed person that your going to get wrist grabbed a lot to where developing techniques against it makes perfect sense occasionally maybe you get in a fight over a firearm and these techniques apply but it’s just such a specific toolset it’s a bit frustrating to watch any of the aiki type stuff. It’s so beautiful and a pleasure to watch but I wish someone was developing ways to move into these positions from a modern self defense perspective. Judo is becoming more and more recognized as it utilization in combat professional increases as well as various newaza styles, any traditional style wishing to survive must be seeking to adapt itself to an MMA format and it’s absolutely possible styles that were considered useless by mma even 3 years ago are becoming accepted as essential like wing chun and Tae kwon do. And aiki styles have value in combat you just need to allow your students to spar with mma fighters and see what’s applicable and it will take time and a lot of knowledge exchange but a lot of styles are going to die out due to being seen as non functional tradition and it’s often not true it’s just mma is not giving them a chance and the schools are not exchanging with mma. Mma is just continually evolving into the most reality oriented martial art with reason and the arguments about the exclusion of dirty tactics is deluded because anyone who can throw a punch can rip someone’s eye or throat or groin strike it’s not beyond them. They are just busy training their body to do maximum damage without dirty strikes but even school children groin strike. Anyways I love this stuff but I fear it will all go away because eventually nobody is going to want to pay to learn it when they can learn judo or jujitsu.
I don't know if you know that Judo is offered as Physical Education credits in the Japanese school system. Basically most Japanese practicioners of Koryu have years of Judo experience from school, and Koryu are passed along familial lineages, so unless a family goes extinct the art will survive. Now whether none Japanese practice it is another issue. Also if you notice most of the men in there are middle age or older just as most other internal arts its an activity done by older people. A good example is Ueshiba developed Aikido when he was retired.
I understand your statements, so i'm going to share with you my own experience. The confusing thing about aikido for most viewers is when they watch general footage like this. The full-time grabbing is obviously not 100% realistic, but you need a base for learning, so It's a mechanism for learning the principle of techniques, not a direct application (you don't train an specific technique for a specific counterattack, you train a set of physical-body-principles trough many techniques to apply them in a complex scenario) like the play of hand-arm-feeling and catching in wing chun it's not a technique per-se but more like a principle. Also you can see this type of mechanism of learning even in taekwondo, when two practitioners trow each other kicks in order of getting the rhythm of leg technique timing in combat. MMA and other combat-oriented-martial arts are actually pretty technical, straight forward and they focus on fast learning and force, but their lack of going deeper in principles makes then even more frustrating when a 1000 times practiced specific technique goes wrong.
This Sensei is a great teacher and an inspiration.
Excellent Thank you
So educational! Why are his classes so empty? I'd expect a hundred people would want to be in this!
Thanks. Unlike Aikido, Daito-ryu is more suited to learning in small groups. In fact, on a Daito-ryu scale, this is a relatively large seminar.
Amazing 👏
🔦 Thank You!
Nice 👍

Most people understand only one side of the coin , only the side that they wanna see. Grab hand, grab callar are only the method or reference
