I trained in aikido for several years, but I'm not sure where I picked this up. When I started doing it, my sensi hated it, but since it worked for me, he turned a blind eye. However, I've used variations of this in real life a couple times and it worked really well. I'm really glad to see that it has a name and even more glad to see someone teach it with authority. I tell everyone who questions whether aikido is a viable martial art, that I've used it literally dozens of times, with tremendous success. Then I tell them that there's what I call "modern dance theory aikido" on the non-martial end of the spectrum, then there's the Lenny Sly end of the spectrum, which is very martial and likely the most effective.

2:10 In wing chun we call that move a QUAN SAO. It’s comprised of two simultaneous hands. One, the TAN SAO or KNIFE HAND. You’d probably call it. Palm up . The bottom hand is a BONG SAO. We do 3 main techniques from there. 1. LOP SAO a grabbing of the arm or clothes. 2. BONG SAO SHIFT (we’ll take distance and change stances) 3. QUAN SAO proper (This technique is used and the top hand stays in, grabs the back hand and presses it down.
After watching hundreds of Aikido video, this is the only teacher that explains the movement that I could understand. Dude, thank you so much for this video.
Lenny...I've watched and extracted this info from your other videos. Somehow I missed this one. The detail of your instruction and explanation of this deflection is top notch. Really great info. I love showing this to my own students. Hope all is well. Keep up the great work.
Black belt in shotokan Just joined an aikijitsu/tenshin school thanks for breaking down these hand deflections and how they can be used to blend an attackers punch and do wrist manipulation and all types of counters good to see o.g aikido still around
What I really like about this is all the attacks it can apply to. Punches, shoves, grabs, kicks, I can see this being viable for just about anything above the waistline. I mean sure, people don't attack like this, but these drills get the muscle memory down for the body mechanics. From there you can improvise all kinds of shit with it. I find that so many skeptics and MMA worshipers look to the style to give them the answers - when instead they should view the style as tools to FIND answers. On the subject of MMA, I've watched countless professional fighters overextend while launching bombs at their opponent - they are completely vulnerable to having this done to them. Honestly, my favorite thing about this channel is your ability to analyze the components of Aikido, take them apart, and put them back together like a mechanic. And how thorough you are when teaching every part. PS: I also need to thank you, Lenny. I actually ran into a situation in the store I work at with some fucking punks who thought it'd be funny harass people for a TikTok video. When I asked them to leave, one guy tried to shove me, and I'm pretty sure it would have gotten worse if I let him. I didn't have room to throw my customary kick to the face, and it all happened so fast that I didn't have time for a prolonged grappling engagement. I used the hand deflections and yubi dori I learned here for a quick choked and shove. It was rough enough to give me time to observe his buddies much like a randori. Nothing glamorous, but it worked. After the first guy squealed, the other ones didn't want any, and they all left. I more or less shadowbox what I see here, but I had a taste of what it was like to be prepared. Thanks, brother!
Interesting! That looks very similar to what in wing chun we call the yin-bon, or inwards/collapsing wing-arm. Except our strategy would be to follow up with elbow strikes, punches, etc. rather than turning to grab and control their hand. I'm really enjoying these videos, they're giving me a different perspective on my wing chun as well as a better appreciation for aikido.
Love this current series of you. Because of Covid19 have thought about doing a full virtual class (maybe over an hour) using something like Zoom or WebEx so that you can see all participants and vice versa? Limited to around 20 People across the globe. Would be an awesome experience I guess.
Very interesting, the lower form of this deflection is how we at my dojo practice tsuki kotegaeshi with a tanto. The idea being that if in a real situation you are late in your movement or if the tanto gets pulled back by the attacker, getting cut on the outside of your forearms is better than getting cut on the inside where all of your veins and arteries are close to the surface.
Big up Lenny Sly, you're a cool guy, always crack me up when you say brutal stuff like the nr 1 rule to f up and you bring reality to it. Hand deflection without tai sabaki is a big risk
@@IbrahimKhalil-bt9yh Not much aikido going on in the MMA video, he had a couple opportunities for Kochi nage . If he wasn't wearing Hakimas I wouldn't even have known the man practiced aikido .
@@mythicrampage9909 did you watch part 2? He's an old man with one arm fighting a young mma guy with two arms. All due respect, did you see the footwork and neck chop atemi, and striking while opponent strike?
@@IbrahimKhalil-bt9yh I just watched part 2 and also watched 1 again . I didn't realize this man had only one arm , and his footwork was in aikido form . I suppose your aikido will be limited with one arm as well . Thanks for these valid points.
Sensei Lenny Could you or one of your experts address how you would deal with an aggressive hand shaker who won't let go of your hand. Had this happen once in a street situation and my first instinct was a left hook to the guys head. Just curious how you would handle this scenario. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Great video , great technique , also although you did not mention it, your back hand also was protecting your face as you enter in making the technique that much more effective. Also I observed that you created a lot of opening for atemi. Well done sir. I'm prior law enforcement and the technique you are showing, works.
There are countless techniques that people who aren't trained in them, should not attempt. Think of all the BJJ techniques there are, which BJJ guys can pull off, but untrained persons should avoid. I've personally used variations of the technique he's showing, in real fights and I've never had it fail. However, I trained hard in aikido and did so knowing that I lived where I might have to defend myself 2 to 3x per week.
Deflections is about angleing the attack away early and also letting the opponent keep his enertia at all cost to make it work. It's tricky to understand and a big advantage when you get it. It means not interupting the incoming movement path put still guide it away from it's target. Even if it is only a little bit. Often a little bit is enough if you also add angled or normal sidesteping or rotating the target bodypart the correct direction as combination. I recommend learning/trying these drills & learn the deflection principles and add it to your arsenal. This can give ANY martial art free options to pull something of. Even under pressure when learned. If you want to take your deflections to the next lvl watch this guys channel. And YES it can be done FAST with realistic speed and it is VERY effective, even if it does not look like it. He has a video demonstrating real speed too. But here you have a taste of deflections at a slow speed. Otherwise you cant properly see how it works. You cant see it, but he is moving his body or tilting his body at the right angle to get away from the lethal angle of attack, so keep that in mind. I'ts NOT ONLY THE ARMS doing the deflections. He take a step every first move or angle the target with the knife. hard to see and believe for many. Also it's a instruction, NOT a full speed demonstration. Watch your EARS!!! the first 16 seconds in the video: It's a Part 2: ruclips.net/video/HtQ4-IbI8jA/видео.html
I liked the warning about the nose. I had my nose broken due to a collision and suffered for many years of massive nose bleeds as a consequence and the crooked nose gets clogged worse than before in every sinusitis.
To be proficient in using Aikido to defend against punches and kicks, e.t.c. blend with your attacker, efficiency evading and often(though not always) facing his same direction.. Aikido takes competent,experienced instruction and years of dedication
Really enjoy your training videos. I'm always learning something new. Thank you. Grateful if you could possibly do a segment on front and side kick defences. Cheers.
first thank you. your video is clear. but some questions please. Do you make two points of contact? im thinking there is an elbow strike in there..im seeing a parrying that you do with a staff and also from karate an elbow into a backfist...is there a variation for kicks or for Shomen Ate? I see a high block covering the face but not the head blow. there are a few high parrying moves with the staff.
I messaged you mr Lenny sly, these hand deflections in aikido are like 'sparring drills" in other arts, wich art would you prefer to pursue, aikdo with the deflections or karate sparring drills?
Osu, Sensei , could you do a aikido flow drill against grips and grabs and clinch with tai sabaki, only catch is nage doesn't know what uke will do, uke can chose from push, pull, clinch, gi grips, wrist grips, take down, face slap. Uke move in with one chosen technique of previous. Naga diffuse the technique and gain best position, we freeze here and discuss strength and weaknesses and follow ups. We reset uke moves in with a new attempt from two arm distance. We isolate this section and repeat that randori, till uke gone through at least one type of 'attack'.
Nice...Some defense is better than no defense...Coming from Kenpo and Kajukenbo-Definitely a quick adjust and adaptation if the punch gets through. I come to realize in real fights, there is always over 50% chance you are gonna get hit, struck, pushed, kicked, gouged or bitten at least once...so end it fast..lol.
I do tenshin aikido, Japanese jiu jitsu, and now a little BJJ. I don’t know if you know who Matt Bryers is, but he is a respectful making his bjj more street combative. I think your minds together would produce brilliance.
Too much ego involved with the martial arts world. Hell, the entire world. Mix that with people's inability to properly process information without allowing emotions to disrupt that ability is the other problem.
A jui jitsu guy tried to put me in an ankle lock after putting me in an armbar. Shredded my arm muscle but he wasn't expecting the rock upside his head lol Streets ain't MMA
Sorry, me and some friends tested this at dojo, we think its not applicable. We think Nishio style more effective. Nishio always first try to do atemi to make opponent vision blur then unbalance. Imagine this style apply to karate guy. He punch and retract his hand fast back to normal position, so we cant grab his hand. Thats why atemi first to blur opponent vision.
MMA trolls: My 70 yo aunt just fought off a home intruder by applying nikyo on the bastard’s wrist. He had her pinned down on the bed and trying to strangle her. Then she eye-gouged him and removed his ski mask, which caused him to flee the house. Never learned aikido except for a few things I taught her. Next time you claim aikido doesn’t work or want to issue a challenge, remember this story. How many MMA fighter will survive an eye-gouge? MMA are not real street fights. You might do very well, but at some point someone might pull a move you’re not prepared to defend. Have a little shame.
Aikido enjoy 2 myth that contradictive. A) it's a safe art that doesn't have attack B) it's a magical art that destroys opponent. (Steven Seagel movie) It once attract students from both myth. Aikido is safe because it's rules : no sparring. Wrist manipulation is dangerous. ......... Deflect thrust attack can be done for punch & knife thrust. There's hundreds of movement, why on earth you choose to remember it all, when you can choose to memorize a few movement that works? ......... You can see the deflection above (slightly different) on other martial art, such as Jujutsu, Kempo, Karate, Hapkido, Pencak silat, Wing chun & some other kungfu. If it's works on other martial art, why some people thinks it doesn't works on Aikido? ....... Nice video Sensei.
Whatever... If anyone watching this wants to see how it really should be done? Then I can recommend you go and watch GOSHIN JU JITSU The Billy Doak Experience... rip. Sense Billy Doak was one of the greatest masters of Ju-Jitsu and his teaching was second to none. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed.
I checked him out and he's pretty impressive; very powerful (I've seen a bit of this before, so thanks for the reminder). Aikido offers subtleties that need to be experienced in order to be aware of their existence. Don't allow "whatever" to prevent you from discovering something truly incredible and inspiring. It has the power to augment creativity through any endeavor.
I have a soft spot for Aikdo i eventually move to BJJ and boxing but i i really learned from Akido is how to roll man and not hit face 1st lol it saved my ass a few times lol
I have a similar feeling, started with NGA in 2000 and ultimately switched to BJJ in 2003. Glad I made the switch but always hold a special place for Aikido since it's the 1st martial arts I did.
been askin' this question a lot lately:how to develop GRIP STRENGTH? i figured aikido should prove the IDEAL setting 2 find a reasonable solution. so there's yer topic 4 a FUTURE upload. thanks & take it easy.
Tx Sei Lenny, I visit your web and was looking for your video on Tenshin Methodology, but I can not find it?? Pls advise, thx Sensei,Arigato Gozaimasta..
@@Djent7779 Hi there, I practice 3 martial arts: Aikido, Koryu Jujutsu (Classical Jujutsu, also known as Koppojutsu) and Kenjutsu (Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū). What I came up to realise after years of training, is that the footwork of Aikido is similar that at Koryu jujutsu, and Kenjutsu. After asking my Sensei, he told me that in Japan what came first were the martial arts with weapons (Kobujutsu) and then, after that, they develope hand to hand martial arts, thus there is the similitude. As always great video Lenny!
@@Djent7779 Kenjutsu is the sword art that defined aikido's footwork. Kenjutsu was battlefield sword work, which took into consideration many opponents coming from every direction. However, Kendo borrowed things from Kenjutsu, but since kendo is a one on one - points based sport, it altered the footwork drastically, to adapt it to strictly one on one. Kendo footwork is not aikido footwork. Aikido retains kenjutsu footwork because it is also concerned with multiple attackers, coming from all directions.
I get the Aikido basic principle of non-injury to your opponent. And, with a lot of thought and practice you "may possibly" be able to deflect his lunging strike. But how much simpler would it be to parry / counter punch that strike before going for a throw etc? This technique does "compliment" the Art (Aikido) but is very inefficient re actual combat. Sorry, but a boxer would pound the shit out of your ribcage.
So listening to you in this video, in your opinion it sounds like you believe aikido is VERY effective on the st.......is it better than any other stand up art? Karate, king fu ect?
Check out 52,blocks, same move, skull and crossbones. Great move, the problem lies in trying to catch a full speed punch.maybe I don't understand aikido. For me, the more natural follow up would be a straight right hook combo.then maybe some lock or arm control.no disrespect to aikido.
You might find the wing arm block in Wing Chun would compliment the skull and cross bones more before attempting a lock or throw. If you are thinking about including more grappling in your Boxing. The wing arm block, basically how this demo starts, can use the second hand to grab the wrist and pull the opponent into your strike, while keeping hold of the attacking hand. If against a boxer you need to be stupid quick to catch the hand, if working with other punching styles, you'll likely catch the first hand with more ease.
I keep hearing people say that an aikido master can’t win a UFC fight. Is this true, because when I see UFC fighters run towards their opponent while throwing a punch, I can only imagine seeing him be neutralize with the move shown in this video and continue with a submission. Right?
A lot of people say that UFC is real fighting, but concider this, it has: a scheduled time and place, one on one, timed, a referee, pads, no small joint manipulations, no eye gouging, etc, etc, etc. You can't use objects or weapons, there's no furniture or walls to work from. It's NOTHING like a street or bar fight, otherwise you'd avoid the ground like the plague, lest you get kicked in the teeth or your brains stomped out. To be clear, aikido isn't like real fighting either. So, yes you could use concepts from aikido in MMA and it would probably improve your performance. I've used aikido in many real fights and it worked remarkably well. An aikidoist moves in a way that's really foriegn to most attackers, so it's usually over in 2 seconds. The person attacks, you evade and capture their ballance simultaneously. You then perform a finishing technique. It happens too weird and too fast for them to protect against it. Also, most aikido finishing techniques aren't something you can recover from immediately. I've been punched and kicked hundreds of times in real fights, but never knocked out. But, if Lenny did a kotegaishi (outside wrist turn) on me, with intent, the fight is over! Also, it would take 6 to 8 weeks before I could use that hand again.
What is the history of Tenshin Aikido? Where can I go to gain some insight? Did Seagal develop this style or did he learn it from another Sensei? If so whom?
I trained in aikido for several years, but I'm not sure where I picked this up. When I started doing it, my sensi hated it, but since it worked for me, he turned a blind eye.
However, I've used variations of this in real life a couple times and it worked really well. I'm really glad to see that it has a name and even more glad to see someone teach it with authority.
I tell everyone who questions whether aikido is a viable martial art, that I've used it literally dozens of times, with tremendous success. Then I tell them that there's what I call "modern dance theory aikido" on the non-martial end of the spectrum, then there's the Lenny Sly end of the spectrum, which is very martial and likely the most effective.

MMA trolls: My 70 yo aunt just fought off a home intruder by applying nikyo on the bastard’s wrist. He had her pinned down on the bed and trying to strangle her. Then she eye-gouged him and removed his ski mask, which caused him to flee the house. Never learned aikido except for a few things I taught her. Next time you claim aikido doesn’t work or want to issue a challenge, remember this story. How many MMA fighter will survive an eye-gouge? MMA are not real street fights. You might do very well, but at some point someone might pull a move you’re not prepared to defend. Have a little shame.
if your grandma can eye gouge, what makes you think an actual fucking athlete cant?????
They need a little humility.
Mr. Sly or lenny, what do you prefer!Please read my last message on live resistance prt 2 and tell me what you think
I can tell that you have been taught by a master even the words that you use sorry I liked it a lot 🏋️🧭💖👼✌️🤔🤓💪
nice vid..just wondering-a video on leg kick deflections would be awesome?
Aikido enjoy 2 myth that contradictive.
A) it's a safe art that doesn't have attack
B) it's a magical art that destroys opponent. (Steven Seagel movie)
It once attract students from both myth.
Aikido is safe because it's rules : no sparring. Wrist manipulation is dangerous.
.........
Deflect thrust attack can be done for punch & knife thrust. There's hundreds of movement, why on earth you choose to remember it all, when you can choose to memorize a few movement that works?
.........
You can see the deflection above (slightly different) on other martial art, such as Jujutsu, Kempo, Karate, Hapkido, Pencak silat, Wing chun & some other kungfu.
If it's works on other martial art, why some people thinks it doesn't works on Aikido?
.......
Nice video Sensei.
Nice
Whatever... If anyone watching this wants to see how it really should be done? Then I can recommend you go and watch GOSHIN JU JITSU The Billy Doak Experience... rip.
Sense Billy Doak was one of the greatest masters of Ju-Jitsu and his teaching was second to none. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed.
I checked him out and he's pretty impressive; very powerful (I've seen a bit of this before, so thanks for the reminder). Aikido offers subtleties that need to be experienced in order to be aware of their existence. Don't allow "whatever" to prevent you from discovering something truly incredible and inspiring. It has the power to augment creativity through any endeavor.
I have a soft spot for Aikdo i eventually move to BJJ and boxing but i i really learned from Akido is how to roll man and not hit face 1st lol it saved my ass a few times lol
I have a similar feeling, started with NGA in 2000 and ultimately switched to BJJ in 2003. Glad I made the switch but always hold a special place for Aikido since it's the 1st martial arts I did.
what happens if the person attacking retracts their punch back to their body?
been askin' this question a lot lately:how to develop GRIP STRENGTH? i figured aikido should prove the IDEAL setting 2 find a reasonable solution. so there's yer topic 4 a FUTURE upload. thanks & take it easy.
hostile graveyard Sword training or even a nice heavy bokken will get you a good grip.
Sir, can you show Aikido techniques against knife, sword, machete, steel pipes, short guns & long guns. Thank you Sir. (I'm your fan)
Lenny still think Seagal and Matsuoka need to come out and explain WHERE AND WHY the deflections became a part of their AIKIDO for posterity.
Tx Sei Lenny, I visit your web and was looking for your video on Tenshin Methodology, but I can not find it?? Pls advise, thx Sensei,Arigato Gozaimasta..

What happened to all your videos and where are you located. Recently moved to Missouri and would like to train.
What do you mean about my videos?
So i watched your stuff on the sword are you going to make more videos on the subject if not why
Yes
I am planning on doing more videos on that in the near future.
@@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13 awsome
What are the foot work drills , are you pivoting like boxing?
I’d have to do a video on that
@@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13 is it fair to say that aikido foot work comes from kendo? i love aikido
Actually I’m not sure
@@Djent7779 Hi there, I practice 3 martial arts: Aikido, Koryu Jujutsu (Classical Jujutsu, also known as Koppojutsu) and Kenjutsu (Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū). What I came up to realise after years of training, is that the footwork of Aikido is similar that at Koryu jujutsu, and Kenjutsu. After asking my Sensei, he told me that in Japan what came first were the martial arts with weapons (Kobujutsu) and then, after that, they develope hand to hand martial arts, thus there is the similitude. As always great video Lenny!
@@Djent7779
Kenjutsu is the sword art that defined aikido's footwork. Kenjutsu was battlefield sword work, which took into consideration many opponents coming from every direction.
However, Kendo borrowed things from Kenjutsu, but since kendo is a one on one - points based sport, it altered the footwork drastically, to adapt it to strictly one on one. Kendo footwork is not aikido footwork. Aikido retains kenjutsu footwork because it is also concerned with multiple attackers, coming from all directions.
bong sao in wing chun
I get the Aikido basic principle of non-injury to your opponent. And, with a lot of thought and practice you "may possibly" be able to deflect his lunging strike. But how much simpler would it be to parry / counter punch that strike before going for a throw etc? This technique does "compliment" the Art (Aikido) but is very inefficient re actual combat. Sorry, but a boxer would pound the shit out of your ribcage.
So listening to you in this video, in your opinion it sounds like you believe aikido is VERY effective on the st.......is it better than any other stand up art? Karate, king fu ect?
The art isn't the fight. The fighter is the fight.
Have you see how is jab of a boxer look like,
Beautiful but in real combat it won't work.
Santo R How much real combat have you been in, sensei?🤔
Check out 52,blocks, same move, skull and crossbones. Great move, the problem lies in trying to catch a full speed punch.maybe I don't understand aikido. For me, the more natural follow up would be a straight right hook combo.then maybe some lock or arm control.no disrespect to aikido.
You might find the wing arm block in Wing Chun would compliment the skull and cross bones more before attempting a lock or throw. If you are thinking about including more grappling in your Boxing. The wing arm block, basically how this demo starts, can use the second hand to grab the wrist and pull the opponent into your strike, while keeping hold of the attacking hand. If against a boxer you need to be stupid quick to catch the hand, if working with other punching styles, you'll likely catch the first hand with more ease.
This sum Ernie and Bert sesame street shit lol
Ok Ohio glassman.......i don't think we are watching the same video but ok
good man im faloying u from uk but i need a partner to practice hmmmm
Who cares what it is or where it came from, as long as it works that’s all I care about
I keep hearing people say that an aikido master can’t win a UFC fight. Is this true, because when I see UFC fighters run towards their opponent while throwing a punch, I can only imagine seeing him be neutralize with the move shown in this video and continue with a submission. Right?
A lot of people say that UFC is real fighting, but concider this, it has: a scheduled time and place, one on one, timed, a referee, pads, no small joint manipulations, no eye gouging, etc, etc, etc. You can't use objects or weapons, there's no furniture or walls to work from. It's NOTHING like a street or bar fight, otherwise you'd avoid the ground like the plague, lest you get kicked in the teeth or your brains stomped out.
To be clear, aikido isn't like real fighting either. So, yes you could use concepts from aikido in MMA and it would probably improve your performance.
I've used aikido in many real fights and it worked remarkably well. An aikidoist moves in a way that's really foriegn to most attackers, so it's usually over in 2 seconds. The person attacks, you evade and capture their ballance simultaneously. You then perform a finishing technique. It happens too weird and too fast for them to protect against it. Also, most aikido finishing techniques aren't something you can recover from immediately. I've been punched and kicked hundreds of times in real fights, but never knocked out. But, if Lenny did a kotegaishi (outside wrist turn) on me, with intent, the fight is over! Also, it would take 6 to 8 weeks before I could use that hand again.
What is the history of Tenshin Aikido? Where can I go to gain some insight?
Did Seagal develop this style or did he learn it from another Sensei? If so whom?
He didn't invent it. He made it famous.
Google it. The internet is your friend.👍
Please if you are real challenge Icy mike(Probably the best).if you win then akido is real
Sinsey your foot is not visible,only your hand is visible.
If this is true.....i'll stick with aikido
