Well, Morihei talked about that in his book "The Heart of Aikido." I suggest you read it. It's very interesting. Morihei, by what i've read, was something like a saint.
I have never thought of aikido as a martial art that directs against a partner, but one that you use with a partner as a teaching medium of instruction in civility.
My aikido sensei once told me "aikido isn't what you do, it's how you do it." Which is of great comfort to me when I rememer how terrible I am at aikido.
Watch close as he steps in to engage. Very direct and the first contact is a hidden strike! It stuns the opponent to throw them off. Then you throw them. But you always seem to engage them a half-step before they engage you. Basis of JKD, also.
For the uninitiated: Ai-ki-do was a self-defense system originally devised primarily to address chaotic street violence where you might be attacked by multiple assailants. Think the attack scene in the beginning of World War Z.
Please update the closed captioning? In some areas he is hard to understand and the closed captioning is off. (The room he trains in isn't a daughter, it's a dojo.) Thanks!
Hello to all viewers. Could some of you transcribe this great speech? I'm a spanish speaker and I can not understand everything he says. Thank you very much!
Hello Fernando, I would like to help you but I can not. Why don´t you contact with Christophe Depaus , maybe he can transcribe it for you and the spanish speakers. It is indeed very interesting his approach. Good luck!
И да и нет. Айкидо не работает против компактных атак и комбинаций. Однако я был на разных политических демонстрациях где люди начинали атаковать других людей, и там совершенно другая механика. Нет времени играть в игры, все двигаются, и люди себя кидают в атаку с настоящей энергией в надежде кому то голову снести. На меня несколько нападало, я использовал дефлекции из Айкидо, включая дефлекцию удара ногой. Один прямо на меня летел и потом ногой полетел прямо в пах. Я среагировал дефлекцией, продолжая его путь мимо меня, он хорошо пролетел и упал жопой на асфальт. В более раннем случае на меня бомж нападал. Как только руки пошли в боксёрскую стойку, я придавил дистанцию и взял его за кисть и локоть со стороны где он другой рукой бы не достал. Он рыпнулся и сам отлетел в сторону. Всякое бывает.
With all due respect to the sensei, this is why a lot of people think Aikido is not a martial art. In the end, it's about fighting and should be practiced as such. It is not a kumbaya thing. If you don't know how to roll out of a technique, you will break an arm, wrist, or elbow. That's not exactly kumbaya. Train under Shibata sensei and then talk about kumbaya.
Martial arts are like an iceberg. You only see the tip. The physical techniques. But a good deal of traditional martial arts are internally focused. Ueshiba Aikido is based upon Daito-ryu Aikijutsu which is a martial art born on the battle field. But even in Daito-ryu it teaches to reach center. Not only within yourself but also a mutual center with your opponent. The goal is take it to from a conflict to a conversation.
No, because aikido is a way to meet conflict, but with the intention of reaching mutual understanding and peace. So you have to be equipped to handle situations where someone might attack you. Cause you don't solve a lot of situation by taking a punch to the face or a knife in the back. So by seeing the attacker and doing an appropriate response you can educate them to put it that way. So if someone attacks you by putting them on the ground you reach a position where you might be able to talk to them and show that you don't want to hurt them but you see them and you are willing to help them on the right path. But take it with a grain of salt cause this is only my interpretation.
the nikyo he does in the 4th minute doesn't feel loving to an untrained person. i don't no if this technique is the best for a public demonstration. of course the rolls and the throws in the rest of the demo will look and feel different too & he is a bit up, isn't he?
my point is that a nikyo shouldn't be painful: uke should be trained to move with it. outside the dojo and demo's law enforcement effectively uses the nikyo in arrest techniques on non-practitioners; i'm not really interested in any other 'proof', i'm interested in supple training techniques in the dojo and in ethics and doing what the mouth says ('love') in demonstrations.
Nikyo is misunderstood. Nikyo is designed to move Uke vertically downward. Sometimes it is important to move uke to protect them. As an example, if a third person is wildly swinging a bat and uke would get hurt, Nikyo, while painful, can allow nage to move them to protect them with little effort. Sankyo moves in rotational vector. Yonkyo a forward vector.
Having been some time since your earlier comment, has your opinion changed, or is it persistent? If you persist, could you offer a counter-demonstration within the same lecture context?
I'm not really sure for the purpose of the demonstrations. Somehow doing choreographed moves with another Aikido partner doesn't seem like a good example for real life situations, whether as an allegorical lesson or a lesson in self defense.
avoiding the escalation of violence is better by teeping, you know people who want to kill you don't actually charge toward you with their wrist forward waiting to be thrown right?
Instead of using aikido for his system as he sounds like a Frenchman perhaps savate is better for him??? Aikido does not wrk maybe the joint locks after a clench or something but otherwise it's useless!!!Besides it only works on people who can't fight wth no training or unless someone is running towards them wth momentum👎
I find it comforting that being an aikido pratitioner aligns with my values as a disciple of Jesus Christ!
Well, Morihei talked about that in his book "The Heart of Aikido." I suggest you read it. It's very interesting. Morihei, by what i've read, was something like a saint.
As a Buddhist, I feel myself gravitating towards Aikido as well🙏🏼
When I do aikido incorrectly it takes strength but when I do aikido correctly, it feels like I've hardly moved, thank you Sensei Steve!.
Beautiful - love, power without aggression. Skillful means to empower and protect.
The Book "spirituality of Aikido " changed me is noticeable ways that others said they could see, amazing💜😍
I have never thought of aikido as a martial art that directs against a partner, but one that you use with a partner as a teaching medium of instruction in civility.
Excellent, a wonderful approach to Aikido...!!!! Definitely, a must see ...!!! Congratulations...!!!
He has an pretty amazing voice.
I practice Wado-Ryu/Kai karate and I found this talk to be very inspiring. Thank you.
My aikido sensei once told me "aikido isn't what you do, it's how you do it." Which is of great comfort to me when I rememer how terrible I am at aikido.
who's your sensei steven seagal?
Unless you are trying to be humorous,
You have a poor mindset.
this made me feel proud to be a Aikidoka
Why?
@@lionsden4563 maybe he took something from this that he needed.
Excellent talk and description for others to start to understand
Magnificent presentation and message.

Très bel exposé, merci Christophe !
I love this...❤
VERY nice display..
An Aikido newbie here but it sounds like Aikido is a codified system of combat with profound, beneficial non-physical opportunities.
Exactly.
For the uninitiated: Ai-ki-do was a self-defense system originally devised primarily to address chaotic street violence where you might be attacked by multiple assailants.
Think the attack scene in the beginning of World War Z.

Excellent video
You move with your adversary not against them
Это не атака, а подстанова руки. В поддавки играют

Thanks. It looked like Yiddish.
too bad people like Joe Rogan will never get this DERP DERP BEE JAY JAY YOU EF SEE EM EM MAY DERP DERP

but you can't tell how painful nikkyo is until you experience it.

ah, I see your point.

gooood. aikido isnt for self defense, not in the real world. every true sensei will say that. aikido has a whole 'nother philosophy.
this is talk so much do
Just a few tricks and he can't get proper breath😂😂....wow
