I love how in all these kinds of videos, the students playing as attackers always do a perfect break fall as they “pass out.” Because that’s realistic. 😂
You see... It's because of their... Training that they can be instinctive and allow their chi to control their body in moments of stress and pain. At this point the ability surpasses the breathing and control of a regular martial artist and becomes Special ultra chi deluxe ex featuring Dante from Devil May cry.
That's because they are taught how to break their fall so that they don't take damage from the joint locks or the throw. Further that's also adds to the demonstration.
I have a theory about what I just broadly label as "no-touch masters" although not all of them do the no-touch thing. My entire life I was really interested in both martial arts and magic, as in stage performances not hogwarts, and in the past 5 years or so I made the move from magic performances to mentalism. A mentalism act is similar to a magic act in some ways but also dramatically different in some important ways. One of the things I can do is basically make naive people think I'm psychic(mostly cold reading and barnum statements) but I don't do that for the same kind of reason I don't go around trying jiu-jitsu submissions on random people without their permission(because it is unjustified violence). So all of that was just background for the theory. The basic idea is that what I think is happening is that highly suggestible people end up gravitating towards them and either consciously and directly or unconsciously and indirectly these so-called masters use suggestion to pull off these tricks. I really do think of them as being like cheesy magic tricks. It makes sense since the kinds of people who end up around faith healers, no-touch masters and so-called psychics share the common trait of high suggestibility(as in hypnotic suggestibility). Roughly 2 out of 3 people can be hypnotized, roughly 10% I can get to do almost anything that doesn't cross normal moral boundaries and about 5%(what I call "people pleasers") will do stuff that crosses those lines if it is framed correctly. When I do a mentalism show I tend to filter the crowd based on their perceived suggestibility level and only pick the ones higher on that scale to use in the act. I bet that same sort of filtering process happens in these mcdojos. People who may be at least somewhat suggestible but their subconscious senses red flags and won't allow them to just follow along end up dropping out of the dojo or straight up being asked to leave and that leaves mostly the "people pleaser" types who's subconscious doesn't pick up those red flags. This same kind of stuff happens in cults in general with the exception being that almost everyone that ends up in a cult in the first place falls into that 5% so cults don't have to do that initial filtering process that mcdojos do.
Well stated! May I add the ones that seek advancement or other perks. Along with those in the "student body" that are consciously faking (stooges) to impress upon new, and lower initiated "students". Then there are Duped Agents. Example: I may not, as a "master" need to personally impress by Routine demonstration to a group. Only by deceptive demonstration to a person, or persons that already share confidence, or familiars with someone a person with established credibility. Just "belt" that person as a higher ranking "student". I just need to impress on that one person, or student. I may use unsteady mats, a slick spot, shifting mats, in a group "attack" I might have other "assailants" assure that a less then cooperating student that I seek to impress and make a Duped Agent goes down. Having "students" do repetitive "breathing", standing, sitting, flexing, just like Benny Hinn does with Music, anticipation, light trickery and "Raise your hands, look up upon God's Glory." To increase potential for delirium. So once I use deceptive practices to convince someone I see as a connection to others... Like a member of a church, a business, etc. Then those that know them may be more adopting of "fudging results". There's also the offer of "Well the best sparing students advance." Again perks to incentivize cooperation. All that, and factor in the Stage Hypnotist factor. Some just wanna Ham, and Show off, then somebody wants to one-up.
Thank you for pointing out the frauds in Japan. They don't get called out enough because people in Japan are waaaaaaay too afraid to call out bullshit. And before people get all angry I'm Japanese, born and raised.
I reassure my daughter (6) regularly that if she is being supervised by another adult - if something bad happens to her or she's made to feel uncomfortable or unsafe it's not her fault. And I tell her no one will get into trouble for anything if she tells me anything, but the best way to figure out uncomfortable feelings is to talk to me or her mother about it. Some of that is a lie though - god damn the person who's ever going to do anything to hurt her. They'll never find the body.
Just to point out, it's of course reasonable to be aware of any dangers around, and having a trusty relationship allowing you to talk about difficult things, but it's also important to not instill irrational trust on children. Adults can cause a lot of damage by having their fears and precautions (particularly if irrational/too strong) transferred to their children. Source: Studying psychology & education.
The first thing is to actually believe your child. Most people simply don't believe their children enough so the kid believes in the predator more than the parents.
Father to father, I think it is extremely irresponsible to teach kids something that does not work, claiming it will help them defend themselves. What if the child decides to try "self defense" and finds out that it does not work? These are reckless people.
For starters I tell my kids that adults don’t ask kids for help, they ask other adults. So if an adult you don’t know comes to you and say they lost their dog for example and the they need your help to find it, get out and come and find mum or dad.
I don't have kids, but I'd tell a kid that no adult should ever ask them to keep a secret from other adults, especially not from their parents. Hey Rob, I sent you an email about being a guest on the podcast, if you'd be interested. Thanks for the great videos man!
It works for the Sensei is because of the strict budo traditions and respect automatically owned to the teacher. The rituals and adherence to hierarchy means students don't question and callange the teacher verbally of physically, but as a students they are totally oblivious , as this unquestioning reverence is programmed in from the start. I was lucky enough to learn Aikido ( to 2nd Dan) from a teacher who actively questioned himself and encouraged that from his students. We would also train monthly with a Jeet kune doo club, which taught the student how to deal with combatants outside their own martial art and the limitations their techniques. It would also ensure neither groups gained a cult-like belief in their own martial art.
I will write ,I guess, a defence of the technique itself. I practiced aikido for a couple of years, and we trained with the Bo. Some of hte more advanced students got to try using the Bo to do locks on us. The point of the practice was to learn to get the opponent to a bad position if they grapped your weapon. You can, in fact, get the opponents hands to a wrist lock IF (and only if) they keep holding on to the weapon; any sensible person would, however, let go. In a way, that would be the intention of the practice; force the opponent to let go in which case you can use your weapon again, or force them to break their wrist. (the aikido wrist locks do still work, they just tend to be a bit impractical). This is nothing to say about Yoshida as shown in the video, as I have no idea about him. (To point out, our aikido coach was very down to earth, and realistic about that aikido could not be used as taught in practice, and encouraged crosstraining, and did that himself as well). That being said, for example in the video it seems they do a lot of ridiculous stuff that is just pure illusion (which sadly happens a lot with aikido/aikijutsu), and through that I am kind of pushed to believe it's just pure bs that he teaches here as well. This post is mainly to point out that such training CAN serve a purpose, although does not necessarily always do so.
Honestly, from what I can see most of the video is he escaping from grabs or putting his opponents in locks as such the only thing out of place is the reaction of the students which is probably an aikido thing. The video is just a little too harsh and poorly researched. Also a child can also get out of the grabs of an adult if he employs proper technique. It's just basic martial arts demonstrated in every dojo. I don't think most of the people here have any experience in martial arts.
When my friends and I were 14 we would take turns throwing “chi balls” at each other, like, “oh wow man I felt that one, my turn!” …….I was 14. These are grown ass adults. Wtf 😂😂😂
I personally would tell my children early on that there are some bad people out there and that they should stay away from adults who make them feel uncomfortable/ they have a bad feeling about. Moreover, I'd like to have the kind of relationship with my children where they know they can trust me to take care of them should anything ever happen to them. I would also make an effort to get to know the adults in my children's lives so I know who's a potential threat way before it ever becomes a problem.
You should watch videos of George Dillman. I was taking Aikido with a great sensei Once I BS about the Chi. He gave demonstration. He said your hand is no balance.. Then he swung my arm I'm a circular motion down. Your body goes. This is sabaki, or technique (loose translation). I think I got this Chi from Tai chi
I did talk to my child (he's over 20 now), as I was molested as a child. I said that if anyone did something he did not like or if one of his friends talked about anything similar he should tell an adult he trusted. And if any adult ever told him to keep a secret it would be a bad secret. Bad secrets should be told. Things along that line. As to behaving in the streets we told him that if anything happened he should go to anyone wearing a uniform. (Our thinking being that it would be a employee somewhere and that they would be working. So acess to communication, a higher likelyhood of help and so on.) Physical defense, or defensive violence more or less came down to "scream loudly: - this is not my parent!" and try to resist as strongly as you could. Wrestling matches, of course friendly ones. Hitting coach mitts and when he was old enough we did some light sparring.
Wow, sorry about what happened to you, I hope you're in a better place now. I'm going to borrow your method, I have no kids but I'm the "crazy cool" uncle, my family is in a cult and i'm the only link my nephews have to the normal world or average sane person, I worry sometimes about them but never knew how to approach the subject with them. Much luck to you and your family.
@@chelizard2516 Cool and crazy uncles, or other adults showing how the world is full of interesting things and perspectives, are the greatest. I hope that your nephews can get the space to make their own choices, helped by your example. I hope my examples help. Thank you.
Honestly, you are just teaching him wrong. Anything bad happens to your child you should be the first person he talks not some adult. As such most of the school staff for example will try to bury such stuff by threatening the child instead.
@@gamingdragon1356 I disagree. Sometimes fear of how the parents might react can keep the child silent, in a misguided attempt at protecting the parents. Notice also the caveat of "an adult he trusted". It could have been me, or his mom or a parent of a friend. That trust you gain by your actions, not your commands. As far as I know, I have the trust of my son, despite my history and whatever issues that caused. I hope that I have earned it fair and square. I am sorry that you have bad experience with school staff. I have some bad, some good. I wish they all were good.
@@ulfhazelcreek8108 The child will only fear you based on how you usually react. So if you have been a good parent he will never hide things from you. You are his first line of defence, if he can't trust you to help him or sympathize with him then he can trust no one. I didn't have good or bad experience with the school staff but based on most media reports the school or any institution does try to hide sexual misconduct because it affects their reputation leading to poor enrollment and revenue. They have to answer to the school board. Even if it's a government school the principal would still get into trouble and so will the teachers so the most common thing is to brush it under the rug.
I would ask my kid to show me what they had learned in class today. This way I could understand if the kids is having fun pretending or if they actually think this is real.
I spent the first half of 2023 trying to train in Aikido again. I trained in Aikido for 15 years, then several years of BJJ, then my health got messed up, and I wanted to start slow. But oh Sweet Moses how did I immediately run into all the Aikido Archetypes. Smarmy, self-assured people, teaching me stuff, resisting my Aikido techniques. One time I f*n snapped. This guy was doing pretty cool irimi nage, I was like, "cool", then it's my turn to throw him, and he freezes out like a statue. I try to move him in a different way, he freezes that out too. Instead of switching to BJJ mode and double-legging him, I ask him "what are you doing", and he says that "the energy in my fingers is wrong". I shrug and tell him, "okay, I will do the same to you". When it's my turn to be uke again, no more cooperation from me. I freeze him out, he tries to move me differently, I freeze him out too. Dude hisses and punches the air in front of my face, I switch to boxing guard which I learned from 6 months of crappy boxing, hide chin behind my shoulder, he yells "f this" and runs away to the opposite end of the mat. Another time I was at the seminar of the head teacher, and some dude kept coming up behind me and rearranging my limbs, pushing me around. I turned around and said "please don't do THIS", and gave him a few "one-inch punch" sort of shoves on shoulder and chest area that made him lose his footing. I am NOT putting up with any of the invasive behaviors in Aikido anymore. The worst one was when I ran into "myself from 20 years ago", this guy who believes Aikido "works at high levels". He said "you wouldn't be able to do anything to a [smarmy Nth degree blackbelt we just trained with]. I told him, this guy would be a helpless baby the moment he ends up on the ground. He said "Aikido has kneeling techniques to deal with the ground". He also said that he doesn't understand what I mean by "wanting to switch from Aikido to BJJ and bulldoze that guy". After all, technique is technique, and if I can't do it with Aikido, I can't do it with BJJ! trololololol?? Finally he said that when I trained with him, I was "too physical", and made a passive-aggressive play at being an enlightened Aikidoka who doesn't see all these Aiki-douche bullies that I see. In reality, what it means, is that he's putting up with deception and abuse while pretending it's enlightement. I USED TO DO THAT 20 YEARS AGO. HE IS ME. I have this recurring wish to go back to that Aikido dojo, switch to BJJ and just gently bulldoze a couple of folks who are behaving essentially like bullies.Like the smarmy black belt who decided to start bumping his stomach into me to show where ... center... energy... ok let's face it, he was trying to establish pecking order by slamming his beer gut into me. When I trained Aikido like a good little neophyte a long time ago, there were some boxers and Judoka who visited the dojo. I could TELL they were restraining themselves, but I had this illusory sense that if not me, then a blackbelt would be able to handle them. Just like this guy, the "younger me". I need to start training BJJ again, where truth is truth, before I lose my mind.
You need a better aikido school, the principles of aikido and jujitsu are the same find a class that trains aiki how you want and not magic BS finding one is hard but worth it. Took me about 6 associations.
I know exactly what you mean. This describes my experience with Aikido over the course of 15 years. Luckily, a BJJ club rented the dojo on Sundays at the last place I was taking classes, so I went there and learned about how little I was capable of despite training in various martial arts from age 5-35). That aikido school is still selling the same BS (plus Systema!!) 15 years later and has lots of pompous acolytes.
If you’re on the east coast there are some skilled practitioners in DR that can demonstrate that the techniques are mechanically sound. I am at a BJJ gym now, been kicked out of a few aikido dojos despite holding rank and being a non compliant uke. I can personally say that while not explicitly fighting techniques they are doable and principally sound.
The saddest part of this video is...daito ryu aikijujutsu is one of the remaining schools from the feudal period created by takeda clan that is still alive today. Meaning when u hear daito ryu... u know these guys have used some of the techniques in battle before. But people like these.... just stain the legacy and name of the school
The origins of Daito Ryu date back around 900 years. Samurai were proficient in Aiki training and it has been watered down over time. There are elements of application missing as these videos are principles. The subtleties of the Aiki arts are where the power of taking balance and distractions can be used in a real fight. If there is no distraction (slap or punch to the face.) There is no technique that will work. I admire what you do. I also know there are aspects of every art or fighting style that are valid in real application. Your channel is very entertaining either way. Keep doing what you love. Respect!
As far as the question of the day goes, that’s a good question. My kids are getting to that age. So I gotta talk to my wife and figure it out together.
great video! as a teacher of hapkido and taekwondo, I am very careful to teach students the reality of techniques, I want people to understand what it would be to protect your life
Me and my kids love some anime but we never tries ro bring into the real world. These guys are geniuses. I'm about create kami-4thgear-flash-jutsu and rake in the green boys! Join me on the next episode of Master Shonen
How to handle predatory behaviour? Teach them to trust no one. From a young age. Hmm. Isn't daito ryu aikijujutsu an actual historical branch of martial arts? The precursor to both aikido and judo?
I would vet any adults around my child thoroughly and ask about their(child's) interaction experience with them, i am from Gary's state and we have lots of swamps there.
I had my test class in karate and even though it is by all means a McDojo (mainly because of the daycare vibe), at least the teacher hasn't mentioned any of this chi/magic/no-touch crap, they actually do sparring. This class is part of a government program in my country to give free classes to low income neighborhoods, and because I can't even afford a crochet class (I love crocheting too lol), I'm gonna stay for a while to improve my almost non-existing athleticism and get myself used to sparring. It was actually pretty fun, let's see how it goes.
I forgot to mention, there's no back room in the "gym", it's pretty much a classroom with glass doors and glass front, so parents can stay and watch everything that goes inside from the outside.
You tell that child to tell you all their concerns and that whatever they feel is weird to let you know right away. Open communication with your children. Now, you keep saying Aki but it's Ai(like the aii of Hawaii) then ki.
aiki techniques work as long as the attackers actually hold on till the end and its NOT MAGIC or SPECIAL KI .. its physics but the issue is who will hold on so long .. .BUT MAYBE if yoyu had knife or sword people might want to hold that long but in street fights people dont attack with holds like this
@@FightXScience-wh6kx that’s not what I said nor is that what they wrote. Happy to discuss live anytime. I go live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am eastern. If that doesn’t work for you let me know when does
el daito ryu es en realidad el jujutsu originario, uno de los estilos de lucha japoneses, del que derivan desde el aikido hasta el judo, incluido el bjj. Pero esto es magia pura peor que el aikido. Son como los delirios del O-sensei
That was so funny! It’s kinda like Gordon Ryan when he Butt Scoots in BJJ competition…. Zero martial application, funny as hell to watch! I would tell those kids to think critically, and if they want to learn to fight they should bounce for a living.
@@McDojoLife thank you for your answer, I just found your channel from a different social media app, and what I can see here with these cults is basically what happens in religion as well. Keep up the good work on entertaining us with these “mystical” creatures 🤭. It’s like watching the witcher 😆
I dont know how to talk to kids about pred behavior, i doesn't have any Fk trophies. Ill try to share your videos to people i don't even think would be interested. Maybe theyll watch and get hooked like i did tho. Thanks for the videos, Bud! Tell the guys that do the live streams alex said WAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHP!
I'd use Situation role to coach children how to react. Here's an 💡 w ouldn't it be something special to coordinate with Actual Dojos to have members attend a few of these demonstrations when around and then just casually start presenting the same quacky stuff with "random attendees". Stack the demonstration with nonbelievers then see how "The Master" and their "students" receive that. Of course during the demonstration use subtle phrases to denounce the bs, and at the end come full clean and use it as brief opportunity to challenge the Students to seek better legit martial arts training.
This is in fact a very useful school of martial art if you're being attacked by an overacting criminal who happens to be carrying a piece of string in one hand and has no intentions to actually hurt you.
Very hard to stop these adults and their predatory behaviour in a world full of social media. You just got to be on your kids and what they are doing….oh, and send them to a BJJ school 🤙
actually the technique he showed with the kids is working but the person shoudl have to hold on all the way through .. so i am not even sure who attacks in that manner
It's just leverage you have just to find the fulcrum. Every joint, the knee, the elbow,etc. Now, the appendage is the lever you apply the force. You generate the force by the rotation of your wrist, your foot on the mat. It's like judo and jujitsu. It's just using the arms as levers Chi? No It's like more inhale when you lift an object. The interpretation of Chi is puchido or pussy-do.😂
Zero clue how it happened but I'm assuming youtube purged your subs at some point since I was unsubbed without warning. Edit since I posted before I finished: Personally I just tell them "if someone does something that makes you uncomfortable tell me even if its weird" its what I was told and it worked out for me.
As if the hakama didn't have a bad enough reputation as it is. Did he even train Aikido, or did he just steal their outfit and make up the rest. How does a hack like this even get students?
@McDojoLife - you need to read Influence - Science and Practice by Cialdini for multiple examples of Cognitive Dissonance in practice. What it really is at its core is changing your beliefs to match your behavior. Thus, each time these impressionable folks throw themselves down, they are demonstrating to themselves that it works, and any beliefs they have in their mind that it might, is suppressed by proving to themselves that it does work, but throwing themselves down. I suspect this happens the first time because they really want to believe but that first one is not cognitive dissonance. However, every other time they throw themselves down after that it is 100% cognitive dissonance as their mind changes to align with their behavior and thus resolve the dissonance between belief (mind) and behavior. FYSA, this even works if folks are forced to execute behaviors that create cognitive dissonance with their beliefs. in other words, being made to do something they don't believe. For example, US prisoners of war during the Korean conflict were made to write essays about how fascist communist ideology was good for Asia. Interestingly, while they usually could not be made to believe that it was right for the West, they all came back stating that communism was right for Asia. The is the dissonance between what they were forced to write in their own hand and what they believed. Maybe not strong enough to overcome years of behavior fighting a threat of communism in the US, but strong enough to make them say otherwise for places where they didn't have so many reinforcing behaviors. ~ Enjoy!
A combination of factors. Stooges (not the three Stooges... but sort of 😂) Stealth grabs of the Gi, in multiple 'assailants' a Stooge (someone that knows it's all fake) gives glancing pushes to other less initiated students. There's the Ham factor, often fueled by One-upmanship. There's students seeking perks, or advancement.
@@parac0sm0naut26 I appreciate the reply. It would bother me something fierce if I was paying to be taught a martial art thats presumably used in defense of self to be faked and to be apart of that.
@@rhegafd It's that "Mystical Pursuit" that some have. Wanting something that distinguishes them from others. However only willing to commit superficially.
I don't have an answer to the question this time. But, I will say that it's sad how Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu has evolved into just a bunch of chi power nonsense. The martial arts of Aikido and Hapkido came from Daito-Ryu, both of which can be used [Aikido more depends on if you have a good teacher, though]
It's a sad world we live in where this crap continues to be a thing. There should be a law against it... or at least a team that is legally authorized to go to any suspected McDojo and expose them. Continue that good work brother
is it weird I would watch a bit of martial arts media where someone who actually knows how to fight beats the shit out of the con artists? like the dramatic tension would be more social but it would still be interesting if you ask me.
Honestly, i didnt see any no touch technique in the video. Most of what he showed was pretty much justified self explanatory to anyone who has done judo or karate. Aiki in japanese martial arts simply means to re direct the opponents own energy to escape locks and grabs. So he was right that you wont need to use your energy. I have been taught similar moves in kyokushin karate and they work brilliantly except for the fact that we didn't use the fancy falling of aikido or aiki jujutsu practioners. All in all a poorly researched video.
Came here to say this too. It's just leverage, angles and balance points. Drawing the attacker in as part of your movement so they become stuck to you - only because they want to attack/connect. There is nothing special or magical here - just connection and movement between bodies. The BJJ world even make use of so called "invisible jiu-jitsu" but there is nothing magic about it - it's just connecting and making use of levers that can't be seen with the eyes because the fulcrum starts inside the body and the lever extends out through and past it. I'm not even particularly good at it but I can probably teach anyone how to do it. It's kind of like another form of listening - through your body, through touch - which does take years to fine tune, but still can be explained and tested and experienced by beginners. It can be very counterintuitive because you have to learn to use your whole body to receive their incoming force, without using isolated muscle power to fight it. But this stuff is at the core of judo and BJJ too - it's nothing magic or special. The aiki demos are set up to illustrate possible extremes of what you can do with connection and leverage - but it's just listening into the body of the person providing force, and moving in spirals along axes where that can't be felt or opposed. If only the amount of energy spent verbally debunking this stuff was put into scientifically studying it... but people are quick to call bullshit when they haven't done that investigation themselves. It's a shame because you're missing something incredible and available to anyone with a body: how to listen through touch, a deep skill which over years improves almost every aspect of a person's life beyond measure. I don't want to be believed - go investigate for yourselves!
@@muteqx People just want to make fun of others rather than understanding what is happening as such it's easier to just laugh at someone than try to understand what he is doing.
@@gamingdragon1356 Shall I offer to talk with Rob the channel owner? I don't know. I'm not particularly invested in changing anyone's mind on the subject, though I could talk about it plenty? It's OK with me if I practise something that other people think isn't possible. Though it's sad they miss the experience of doing something so fascinating. It's not magic but it is extremely interesting and unbelievably useful in life, and actually quite beautiful too. But you can't learn it from talking about it or seeing it in videos - it's a nonverbal conversation which has to be passed on through touch. So I don't see much point in just talking about it, because I might as well be trying to tell you how to play play "advanced jazz bassoon" or something, you know? Also I am a literal nobody, just a person who studies things, and who practises with my own kids, who I want to be able to look after themselves.
@@muteqx Talking won't do anything. A person has to practice something to know what it is as such there are definitely many so called MC dojos but even they can use legit techniques. If you break apart Aikido technique you would understand that it actually makes sense. In kyokushin, my teacher taught aiki on some days and it is the most useful thing. Anyway real life is most important. The owner of the channel might be earning through his channel same for the martial art master so both can squeeze a little bit of nonsense because that's what the people like to hear.
I probably will say the same thing before training aikido, but once I started doing, and knew the principle inside, it is not that magic. Anything is physics and balance. The problem of Aikido is just it is too ideal that lots of the technique not working for the people have much fighting experience or someone controls the balance very well. But training the techniques are just for the practitioners to remember and when or how to use is totally depends on the individual one who understands the core of the techniques better.

Roughly 2 out of 3 people can be hypnotized, roughly 10% I can get to do almost anything that doesn't cross normal moral boundaries and about 5%(what I call "people pleasers") will do stuff that crosses those lines if it is framed correctly. When I do a mentalism show I tend to filter the crowd based on their perceived suggestibility level and only pick the ones higher on that scale to use in the act. I bet that same sort of filtering process happens in these mcdojos. People who may be at least somewhat suggestible but their subconscious senses red flags and won't allow them to just follow along end up dropping out of the dojo or straight up being asked to leave and that leaves mostly the "people pleaser" types who's subconscious doesn't pick up those red flags. This same kind of stuff happens in cults in general with the exception being that almost everyone that ends up in a cult in the first place falls into that 5% so cults don't have to do that initial filtering process that mcdojos do.
Well stated! May I add the ones that seek advancement or other perks. Along with those in the "student body" that are consciously faking (stooges) to impress upon new, and lower initiated "students". Then there are Duped Agents. Example: I may not, as a "master" need to personally impress by Routine demonstration to a group. Only by deceptive demonstration to a person, or persons that already share confidence, or familiars with someone a person with established credibility. Just "belt" that person as a higher ranking "student". I just need to impress on that one person, or student. I may use unsteady mats, a slick spot, shifting mats, in a group "attack" I might have other "assailants" assure that a less then cooperating student that I seek to impress and make a Duped Agent goes down. Having "students" do repetitive "breathing", standing, sitting, flexing, just like Benny Hinn does with Music, anticipation, light trickery and "Raise your hands, look up upon God's Glory." To increase potential for delirium. So once I use deceptive practices to convince someone I see as a connection to others... Like a member of a church, a business, etc. Then those that know them may be more adopting of "fudging results". There's also the offer of "Well the best sparing students advance." Again perks to incentivize cooperation. All that, and factor in the Stage Hypnotist factor. Some just wanna Ham, and Show off, then somebody wants to one-up.
Thank you for pointing out the frauds in Japan. They don't get called out enough because people in Japan are waaaaaaay too afraid to call out bullshit. And before people get all angry I'm Japanese, born and raised.
Maybe the people in Japan do call out his bullshit but people abroad dont know that.
I reassure my daughter (6) regularly that if she is being supervised by another adult - if something bad happens to her or she's made to feel uncomfortable or unsafe it's not her fault. And I tell her no one will get into trouble for anything if she tells me anything, but the best way to figure out uncomfortable feelings is to talk to me or her mother about it. Some of that is a lie though - god damn the person who's ever going to do anything to hurt her. They'll never find the body.
Just to point out, it's of course reasonable to be aware of any dangers around, and having a trusty relationship allowing you to talk about difficult things, but it's also important to not instill irrational trust on children.
Adults can cause a lot of damage by having their fears and precautions (particularly if irrational/too strong) transferred to their children.

The first thing is to actually believe your child. Most people simply don't believe their children enough so the kid believes in the predator more than the parents.
Father to father, I think it is extremely irresponsible to teach kids something that does not work, claiming it will help them defend themselves. What if the child decides to try "self defense" and finds out that it does not work? These are reckless people.
I met one of these guys once. He tried his technique on me. I just stood there.
For starters I tell my kids that adults don’t ask kids for help, they ask other adults. So if an adult you don’t know comes to you and say they lost their dog for example and the they need your help to find it, get out and come and find mum or dad.
How my mom asked me if anything weird was going on at Taekwondo: "Any weird shit happening at your school? You sure? Alright good. "
Thanks!
Thank you for the support
I don't have kids, but I'd tell a kid that no adult should ever ask them to keep a secret from other adults, especially not from their parents.
Hey Rob, I sent you an email about being a guest on the podcast, if you'd be interested. Thanks for the great videos man!
Evidently you're not paying attention to the schools and other adults asking to keep things secret from their parents
It works for the Sensei is because of the strict budo traditions and respect automatically owned to the teacher.
The rituals and adherence to hierarchy means students don't question and callange the teacher verbally of physically, but as a students they are totally oblivious , as this unquestioning reverence is programmed in from the start.
I was lucky enough to learn Aikido ( to 2nd Dan) from a teacher who actively questioned himself and encouraged that from his students. We would also train monthly with a Jeet kune doo club, which taught the student how to deal with combatants outside their own martial art and the limitations their techniques. It would also ensure neither groups gained a cult-like belief in their own martial art.
The moment that they want to be alone or give you special time that is when you should watch out for it
I will write ,I guess, a defence of the technique itself. I practiced aikido for a couple of years, and we trained with the Bo. Some of hte more advanced students got to try using the Bo to do locks on us.
The point of the practice was to learn to get the opponent to a bad position if they grapped your weapon.
You can, in fact, get the opponents hands to a wrist lock IF (and only if) they keep holding on to the weapon; any sensible person would, however, let go.
In a way, that would be the intention of the practice; force the opponent to let go in which case you can use your weapon again, or force them to break their wrist. (the aikido wrist locks do still work, they just tend to be a bit impractical).
This is nothing to say about Yoshida as shown in the video, as I have no idea about him. (To point out, our aikido coach was very down to earth, and realistic about that aikido could not be used as taught in practice, and encouraged crosstraining, and did that himself as well).
That being said, for example in the video it seems they do a lot of ridiculous stuff that is just pure illusion (which sadly happens a lot with aikido/aikijutsu), and through that I am kind of pushed to believe it's just pure bs that he teaches here as well. This post is mainly to point out that such training CAN serve a purpose, although does not necessarily always do so.
Honestly, from what I can see most of the video is he escaping from grabs or putting his opponents in locks as such the only thing out of place is the reaction of the students which is probably an aikido thing.
The video is just a little too harsh and poorly researched. Also a child can also get out of the grabs of an adult if he employs proper technique. It's just basic martial arts demonstrated in every dojo. I don't think most of the people here have any experience in martial arts.
I don't play (fighting) video games anymore, I forgot the control combos so I'll still watch this for a refresher.
When my friends and I were 14 we would take turns throwing “chi balls” at each other, like, “oh wow man I felt that one, my turn!” …….I was 14. These are grown ass adults. Wtf 😂😂😂
The Bullshido is strong with this one
Every single guy when getting in their "pose" have some sort of I need to go to the toilet face.
I personally would tell my children early on that there are some bad people out there and that they should stay away from adults who make them feel uncomfortable/ they have a bad feeling about. Moreover, I'd like to have the kind of relationship with my children where they know they can trust me to take care of them should anything ever happen to them. I would also make an effort to get to know the adults in my children's lives so I know who's a potential threat way before it ever becomes a problem.
Not sure what's sillier. Believing in this or a mythical being with supernatural powers that no one has ever seen.
Obviously this, at least you can't disprove the mythical being. It would take almost 0 effort to disprove this.
You should watch videos of George Dillman. I was taking Aikido with a great sensei
Once I BS about the Chi. He gave demonstration. He said your hand is no balance.. Then he swung my arm I'm a circular motion down. Your body goes. This is sabaki, or technique (loose translation). I think I got this Chi from Tai chi
I did talk to my child (he's over 20 now), as I was molested as a child. I said that if anyone did something he did not like or if one of his friends talked about anything similar he should tell an adult he trusted. And if any adult ever told him to keep a secret it would be a bad secret. Bad secrets should be told.
Things along that line. As to behaving in the streets we told him that if anything happened he should go to anyone wearing a uniform. (Our thinking being that it would be a employee somewhere and that they would be working. So acess to communication, a higher likelyhood of help and so on.)
Physical defense, or defensive violence more or less came down to "scream loudly: - this is not my parent!" and try to resist as strongly as you could. Wrestling matches, of course friendly ones. Hitting coach mitts and when he was old enough we did some light sparring.
Wow, sorry about what happened to you, I hope you're in a better place now. I'm going to borrow your method, I have no kids but I'm the "crazy cool" uncle, my family is in a cult and i'm the only link my nephews have to the normal world or average sane person, I worry sometimes about them but never knew how to approach the subject with them. Much luck to you and your family.
@@chelizard2516 Cool and crazy uncles, or other adults showing how the world is full of interesting things and perspectives, are the greatest. I hope that your nephews can get the space to make their own choices, helped by your example. I hope my examples help.
Thank you.
Honestly, you are just teaching him wrong. Anything bad happens to your child you should be the first person he talks not some adult. As such most of the school staff for example will try to bury such stuff by threatening the child instead.
@@gamingdragon1356 I disagree. Sometimes fear of how the parents might react can keep the child silent, in a misguided attempt at protecting the parents. Notice also the caveat of "an adult he trusted". It could have been me, or his mom or a parent of a friend. That trust you gain by your actions, not your commands.
As far as I know, I have the trust of my son, despite my history and whatever issues that caused. I hope that I have earned it fair and square.
I am sorry that you have bad experience with school staff. I have some bad, some good. I wish they all were good.
@@ulfhazelcreek8108 The child will only fear you based on how you usually react. So if you have been a good parent he will never hide things from you. You are his first line of defence, if he can't trust you to help him or sympathize with him then he can trust no one.
I didn't have good or bad experience with the school staff but based on most media reports the school or any institution does try to hide sexual misconduct because it affects their reputation leading to poor enrollment and revenue. They have to answer to the school board. Even if it's a government school the principal would still get into trouble and so will the teachers so the most common thing is to brush it under the rug.
I would ask my kid to show me what they had learned in class today. This way I could understand if the kids is having fun pretending or if they actually think this is real.
I spent the first half of 2023 trying to train in Aikido again. I trained in Aikido for 15 years, then several years of BJJ, then my health got messed up, and I wanted to start slow. But oh Sweet Moses how did I immediately run into all the Aikido Archetypes. Smarmy, self-assured people, teaching me stuff, resisting my Aikido techniques. One time I f*n snapped. This guy was doing pretty cool irimi nage, I was like, "cool", then it's my turn to throw him, and he freezes out like a statue. I try to move him in a different way, he freezes that out too. Instead of switching to BJJ mode and double-legging him, I ask him "what are you doing", and he says that "the energy in my fingers is wrong". I shrug and tell him, "okay, I will do the same to you".
When it's my turn to be uke again, no more cooperation from me. I freeze him out, he tries to move me differently, I freeze him out too. Dude hisses and punches the air in front of my face, I switch to boxing guard which I learned from 6 months of crappy boxing, hide chin behind my shoulder, he yells "f this" and runs away to the opposite end of the mat.
Another time I was at the seminar of the head teacher, and some dude kept coming up behind me and rearranging my limbs, pushing me around. I turned around and said "please don't do THIS", and gave him a few "one-inch punch" sort of shoves on shoulder and chest area that made him lose his footing. I am NOT putting up with any of the invasive behaviors in Aikido anymore.
The worst one was when I ran into "myself from 20 years ago", this guy who believes Aikido "works at high levels". He said "you wouldn't be able to do anything to a [smarmy Nth degree blackbelt we just trained with]. I told him, this guy would be a helpless baby the moment he ends up on the ground. He said "Aikido has kneeling techniques to deal with the ground". He also said that he doesn't understand what I mean by "wanting to switch from Aikido to BJJ and bulldoze that guy". After all, technique is technique, and if I can't do it with Aikido, I can't do it with BJJ!
trololololol??
Finally he said that when I trained with him, I was "too physical", and made a passive-aggressive play at being an enlightened Aikidoka who doesn't see all these Aiki-douche bullies that I see. In reality, what it means, is that he's putting up with deception and abuse while pretending it's enlightement. I USED TO DO THAT 20 YEARS AGO. HE IS ME.
I have this recurring wish to go back to that Aikido dojo, switch to BJJ and just gently bulldoze a couple of folks who are behaving essentially like bullies.Like the smarmy black belt who decided to start bumping his stomach into me to show where ... center... energy... ok let's face it, he was trying to establish pecking order by slamming his beer gut into me.
When I trained Aikido like a good little neophyte a long time ago, there were some boxers and Judoka who visited the dojo. I could TELL they were restraining themselves, but I had this illusory sense that if not me, then a blackbelt would be able to handle them. Just like this guy, the "younger me".
I need to start training BJJ again, where truth is truth, before I lose my mind.
That was a good read brother 👍🤙🏻
@@silverfox8801 thank you
You need a better aikido school, the principles of aikido and jujitsu are the same find a class that trains aiki how you want and not magic BS finding one is hard but worth it. Took me about 6 associations.
I know exactly what you mean. This describes my experience with Aikido over the course of 15 years. Luckily, a BJJ club rented the dojo on Sundays at the last place I was taking classes, so I went there and learned about how little I was capable of despite training in various martial arts from age 5-35). That aikido school is still selling the same BS (plus Systema!!) 15 years later and has lots of pompous acolytes.
If you’re on the east coast there are some skilled practitioners in DR that can demonstrate that the techniques are mechanically sound. I am at a BJJ gym now, been kicked out of a few aikido dojos despite holding rank and being a non compliant uke. I can personally say that while not explicitly fighting techniques they are doable and principally sound.

Engine should teach their children how to think critically about what they hear or are taught 👍
Then the first thing they will attack is religion which no one wants.
As soon as i saw the Sensei Sifu outfit. I knew what's coming up!
The saddest part of this video is...daito ryu aikijujutsu is one of the remaining schools from the feudal period created by takeda clan that is still alive today. Meaning when u hear daito ryu... u know these guys have used some of the techniques in battle before. But people like these.... just stain the legacy and name of the school
What happens if two of these senseis fight. Do they both just have seizures
The crazy part of all this is..these are grown adults going along with this crap.
I don’t have kids yet but I’d try to teach ‘em that if they feel uncomfortable to speak up. I won’t be mad with them at all if they bring something up
Good acting! Wish Steven Segal learned to do this in his movies. Would of been awesome.
And here we go - just stringing people along!
Never doubt the power of the force....haha
The origins of Daito Ryu date back around 900 years. Samurai were proficient in Aiki training and it has been watered down over time. There are elements of application missing as these videos are principles. The subtleties of the Aiki arts are where the power of taking balance and distractions can be used in a real fight. If there is no distraction (slap or punch to the face.) There is no technique that will work. I admire what you do. I also know there are aspects of every art or fighting style that are valid in real application. Your channel is very entertaining either way. Keep doing what you love. Respect!
As far as the question of the day goes, that’s a good question. My kids are getting to that age. So I gotta talk to my wife and figure it out together.
I would tell my kids that there are no such thing as superhumans, and always tell me if ANYONE makes them feel creeped out
Is there a way to learn such powers?
great video! as a teacher of hapkido and taekwondo, I am very careful to teach students the reality of techniques, I want people to understand what it would be to protect your life
Is that some form of interpretive dance? Homeboy has a killer chi guard against those kids.

How to handle predatory behaviour? Teach them to trust no one. From a young age.
Hmm. Isn't daito ryu aikijujutsu an actual historical branch of martial arts? The precursor to both aikido and judo?
Its like mass hypnosis
*dumb-mass? 😂
I would vet any adults around my child thoroughly and ask about their(child's) interaction experience with them, i am from Gary's state and we have lots of swamps there.
I had my test class in karate and even though it is by all means a McDojo (mainly because of the daycare vibe), at least the teacher hasn't mentioned any of this chi/magic/no-touch crap, they actually do sparring. This class is part of a government program in my country to give free classes to low income neighborhoods, and because I can't even afford a crochet class (I love crocheting too lol), I'm gonna stay for a while to improve my almost non-existing athleticism and get myself used to sparring. It was actually pretty fun, let's see how it goes.
I forgot to mention, there's no back room in the "gym", it's pretty much a classroom with glass doors and glass front, so parents can stay and watch everything that goes inside from the outside.
Hooked on Robin has great crochet tutorials.
You tell that child to tell you all their concerns and that whatever they feel is weird to let you know right away. Open communication with your children.
Now, you keep saying Aki but it's Ai(like the aii of Hawaii) then ki.
aiki techniques work as long as the attackers actually hold on till the end and its NOT MAGIC or SPECIAL KI .. its physics but the issue is who will hold on so long .. .BUT MAYBE if yoyu had knife or sword people might want to hold that long but in street fights people dont attack with holds like this
Nope.

That was so funny! It’s kinda like Gordon Ryan when he Butt Scoots in BJJ competition…. Zero martial application, funny as hell to watch! I would tell those kids to think critically, and if they want to learn to fight they should bounce for a living.
Ive always wondered do they choreograph this shit or is it more like improv
Do they actually pay to go learn there? Honest question 😊
Yes unfortunately
@@McDojoLife thank you for your answer, I just found your channel from a different social media app, and what I can see here with these cults is basically what happens in religion as well. Keep up the good work on entertaining us with these “mystical” creatures 🤭. It’s like watching the witcher 😆

I feel stupid just finishing this video til the end 😂
I'd use Situation role to coach children how to react.
Here's an 💡 w ouldn't it be something special to coordinate with Actual Dojos to have members attend a few of these demonstrations when around and then just casually start presenting the same quacky stuff with "random attendees". Stack the demonstration with nonbelievers then see how "The Master" and their "students" receive that. Of course during the demonstration use subtle phrases to denounce the bs, and at the end come full clean and use it as brief opportunity to challenge the Students to seek better legit martial arts training.
If only chi powers were real lol. Imagine a UFC where they just throw eachother round like jedi
Good question. First off is well adult instructors never ask kids for help. Know your own boundaries you set. Then these are kids.
I just love how people actually believe this stuff works. Seriously these people needs deprogramming to get them back to reality.

Fun fact. This guy actually trained Yoda
It's just leverage you have just to find the fulcrum. Every joint, the knee, the elbow,etc. Now, the appendage is the lever you apply the force. You generate the force by the rotation of your wrist, your foot on the mat. It's like judo and jujitsu. It's just using the arms as levers
Chi? No It's like more inhale when you lift an object. The interpretation of Chi is puchido or pussy-do.😂

@McDojoLife - you need to read Influence - Science and Practice by Cialdini for multiple examples of Cognitive Dissonance in practice. What it really is at its core is changing your beliefs to match your behavior. Thus, each time these impressionable folks throw themselves down, they are demonstrating to themselves that it works, and any beliefs they have in their mind that it might, is suppressed by proving to themselves that it does work, but throwing themselves down. I suspect this happens the first time because they really want to believe but that first one is not cognitive dissonance. However, every other time they throw themselves down after that it is 100% cognitive dissonance as their mind changes to align with their behavior and thus resolve the dissonance between belief (mind) and behavior. FYSA, this even works if folks are forced to execute behaviors that create cognitive dissonance with their beliefs. in other words, being made to do something they don't believe. For example, US prisoners of war during the Korean conflict were made to write essays about how fascist communist ideology was good for Asia. Interestingly, while they usually could not be made to believe that it was right for the West, they all came back stating that communism was right for Asia. The is the dissonance between what they were forced to write in their own hand and what they believed. Maybe not strong enough to overcome years of behavior fighting a threat of communism in the US, but strong enough to make them say otherwise for places where they didn't have so many reinforcing behaviors. ~ Enjoy!
And all this started with the granddaddy of all delusions Aikido.

WHY DO THESE PEOPLE PLAY ALONG? Seriously, I do not understand. They either really believe it or Im just not even sure.
A combination of factors. Stooges (not the three Stooges... but sort of 😂) Stealth grabs of the Gi, in multiple 'assailants' a Stooge (someone that knows it's all fake) gives glancing pushes to other less initiated students. There's the Ham factor, often fueled by One-upmanship. There's students seeking perks, or advancement.

I don't have an answer to the question this time. But, I will say that it's sad how Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu has evolved into just a bunch of chi power nonsense. The martial arts of Aikido and Hapkido came from Daito-Ryu, both of which can be used [Aikido more depends on if you have a good teacher, though]

is it weird I would watch a bit of martial arts media where someone who actually knows how to fight beats the shit out of the con artists? like the dramatic tension would be more social but it would still be interesting if you ask me.
Sensei Bullshida looks like he needs re-hab……..
Honestly, i didnt see any no touch technique in the video. Most of what he showed was pretty much justified self explanatory to anyone who has done judo or karate. Aiki in japanese martial arts simply means to re direct the opponents own energy to escape locks and grabs. So he was right that you wont need to use your energy.
I have been taught similar moves in kyokushin karate and they work brilliantly except for the fact that we didn't use the fancy falling of aikido or aiki jujutsu practioners. All in all a poorly researched video.
Came here to say this too. It's just leverage, angles and balance points. Drawing the attacker in as part of your movement so they become stuck to you - only because they want to attack/connect. There is nothing special or magical here - just connection and movement between bodies.
The BJJ world even make use of so called "invisible jiu-jitsu" but there is nothing magic about it - it's just connecting and making use of levers that can't be seen with the eyes because the fulcrum starts inside the body and the lever extends out through and past it.
I'm not even particularly good at it but I can probably teach anyone how to do it. It's kind of like another form of listening - through your body, through touch - which does take years to fine tune, but still can be explained and tested and experienced by beginners.
It can be very counterintuitive because you have to learn to use your whole body to receive their incoming force, without using isolated muscle power to fight it. But this stuff is at the core of judo and BJJ too - it's nothing magic or special.
The aiki demos are set up to illustrate possible extremes of what you can do with connection and leverage - but it's just listening into the body of the person providing force, and moving in spirals along axes where that can't be felt or opposed.
If only the amount of energy spent verbally debunking this stuff was put into scientifically studying it... but people are quick to call bullshit when they haven't done that investigation themselves.
It's a shame because you're missing something incredible and available to anyone with a body: how to listen through touch, a deep skill which over years improves almost every aspect of a person's life beyond measure.
I don't want to be believed - go investigate for yourselves!

It's OK with me if I practise something that other people think isn't possible. Though it's sad they miss the experience of doing something so fascinating. It's not magic but it is extremely interesting and unbelievably useful in life, and actually quite beautiful too.
But you can't learn it from talking about it or seeing it in videos - it's a nonverbal conversation which has to be passed on through touch.
So I don't see much point in just talking about it, because I might as well be trying to tell you how to play play "advanced jazz bassoon" or something, you know?
Also I am a literal nobody, just a person who studies things, and who practises with my own kids, who I want to be able to look after themselves.
@@muteqx Talking won't do anything. A person has to practice something to know what it is as such there are definitely many so called MC dojos but even they can use legit techniques. If you break apart Aikido technique you would understand that it actually makes sense.
In kyokushin, my teacher taught aiki on some days and it is the most useful thing.
Anyway real life is most important. The owner of the channel might be earning through his channel same for the martial art master so both can squeeze a little bit of nonsense because that's what the people like to hear.
I probably will say the same thing before training aikido, but once I started doing, and knew the principle inside, it is not that magic. Anything is physics and balance. The problem of Aikido is just it is too ideal that lots of the technique not working for the people have much fighting experience or someone controls the balance very well. But training the techniques are just for the practitioners to remember and when or how to use is totally depends on the individual one who understands the core of the techniques better.
