Awesome videos! I studied Aikido in NY under Hagihira for a few years. Plus, I've studied Kung Fu and Karate. I am a retired Police Officer and Aikido does work on the street. Keep up the great work!
Saw an old school aikijitsu video. Only 3 principles. Step off line. Deflect and counter hard. Crush opponent at your feet. My summary of what I see in Seagals art.
Ben Baker I have taken AIKIDO for two years. I'am enjoying your teaching. My AIKIDO will be a lot better because of you. Thank you so much. Stay safe and God bless.
I learned this exactly the same way many years ago. My teacher was a mean old man. You bring back memories of me looking at the ceiling before I hit the floor. Keep up the good work!
Sly, I'm a big fan of aikido and the arts, I have to say that he instructional videos are excellent. Not only do u explain why each step is important, but u also demonstrate and explain very well the results of each step. This helps learn it in a more understandable way. Keep up the great work. Belts and ranks are used in respect to the art, it has nothing to do with real world application. U got my vote all the way. I love watching ur videos.
First: good Comedy!!I'm down on my knees by laughing. Remote-Nikyo.But these Iriminage Apps,the Hand deflections... what can I say,just Impressive!Seriously.Pure Power.As it should be!THX for sharing your knowledge and greetz from Germany ---and,please,keep it up!!
Lenny, I've practiced aikido for a long time. Our school teaches fairly traditional aikido but the emphasis has always been being able to apply what we do in practical application. (Although we play around a little lighter than you guys...we like making it to work the next day. Lol). Great video. Don't be bitter about what the Internet "experts" have to say. It's not worth your time to engage them. You have some great technical instruction in this video and your breakdown and demonstration of the arm deflections is invaluable. There aren't many people teaching that part of the art (Gary Boaz is one of the few others that come to mind). Keep it up. There is plenty of good practical technique in traditional style aikido, it's just tied up within an impractical approach to how someone would be attacked in the real world. That's the stepping stone. You're simply proceeding further down the path....Don't stop! If you get a chance, look up "Gordon Muller combat aikido disarms". Gordon is one of our other instructors who's a police instructor. You'll enjoy. Lol
Keith Kruger great comment. I have also been doing Aikido for a while and I love Leni’s videos because of the no nonsense practical approach that he brings; which I believe is missing in a lot of traditional dojos.For example, this past weekend I went to a seminar with a bunch of “advanced students” who did not even want to get thrown let alone take a break-fall. Felt like I was in a retirement home doing tai chi.
I wish I could learn this type of aikido designed for the streets. It would definitely enhance my Hapkido practice. I think you are a down to earth practitioner of your art. Thanks for the videos that can really save your life.
I have noticed that some of the movements of hapkido is very close or similar to aikido. I do have a great respect for aikido as well. I do not know when I would ever get the chance, but I would love 😍to implement aikido techniques into my training. Have you ever considered in making reasonable priced training DVDs? I feel and know you are a true artist of your skillful art. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge to the public. In the hands of a great master, all materials is productive.
Hello Shihan Lenny I forgot to thank you for inspiring me to study Aikido. I have been practicing for two years prior the lockdown. I have recently returned My school is similar in mind set as yours Aikido is a martial art, so thank you very much and lots of success
Chasing ranks, doesn't expand your martial arts knowledge to help you deal with real world situations. Once again thank you for your knowledge that adds to my martial arts skills!
Lenny, thanks for bringing Aikido up to date, to be applied on the street. This is the spirit in which O'Sensai began Ajkido to begin with. I have 2 young girls who have taken their very first steps with Tomiki Aikido, and even while they're developing their foundations, I'm encouraging them towards double handed deflections and getting a feel for finger locks, to take them from awareness to familarity to skill. To ensure they can save themselves if they ever need to. Love your work, and thank you to your Uki as they cop a hammering in order to display the very necessary. Keep on keeping on, Real.
Lenny, just wanted to add to Keiths comments below. What a great video. This has to be one of the best demonstrations and explanation of this technique that I have seen. Thank you very much for taking the time to share this. Stuart over in Scotland. 👍
Thank you for the clear and concise instruction! I have seen a lot of instructors with good skills, but they cannot get anywhere near you with instruction. Thank you so much brother. You freaking rock!,!, Awesome video. Keep up the great work,,,, BAM!,,,,,,
This is perhaps the most epic rant in RUclips history. It does nothing to dispel the notion that Mr. Sly has anger management issues. However, the possibility that Lenny is psycho is why we love him. BTW- excellent Aikido demos. Keep 'em coming.
Love how you rip these shit talkers a new one and put them back in their place. you're always straight up about your experiences, techniques and who you are. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos which remind me to be grounded in reality and respond to potential threats combatively and not like I'm in a god damn boxing/mma match. *Salute* From Toronto.
You just earned my sub & notifications bell! I've been rather disenchanted with Aikido for being a Zen, Flowery, _"dance in a hakama "_ but you have brought real world effectiveness to it! Dig It! I'll look forward to seeing more of your stuff, Brother! Post Script: I also loved the rant in the beginning! The arm chair Warriors are everywhere! I loved you putting one of them in his place! Awesome! 😎
Awesome dude!! You had me rolling at the beginning. I should not have watched this video right before Aikido class. I’m going to break someone’s shit now. Thank you very much Leny, I’m probably getting kicked out of the dojo and it’s all your fault. Ha, ha.
Just one more thing. I was reading through the the comments and saw someone wrote what you do is invaluable. He is exactly right. Don't ever stop posting. You'll always have at least one like to every video you do, right here.
Even if I'm a little more on the peace and love side of the spectrum (I train with resistance and for realism but haven't abandoned some of the hippie aspects) this is great instruction and energizing to watch. Keep up the good work!
Hi Lenny! 😊 Lots of 'verbal atemi's' in this video; I'm shocked! lol! 😊 Seriously, I mainly practice somewhere west of London. It dissapoints me when sometimes I see the 'dancification' of Aikido; you know, big flowing movements etc. Yuk! It does no-one any favours. The best and most valuable instructions I have had, including some from my own Sensei's, is always when the Aikido is 'economical', and when the focus is on 'making Aikido work on the streets of London, Glasgow, Chicago etc.' Your video's have this in spades! 😊 Respect! 😊
Incredibly technique! You make it look easy, is specially difficult to do it. Your technique is perfect either left or right. I wish you had your school in Houston Tx.
The one guy with proper knowledge of technique, and applies it. I get the old ways, sure, but, ,, you cannot pray or peace and love an attacker down. Fuck yeah! Keep it coming! Your shit is dead on practical.
Lenny, I wish I had found this long ago! I trained in aikido when I worked as a police officer years back. I won’t say anything negative about my instruction back then, because it was great. I am however a bigger fan of the TenShin style (Seagal Shihan) aikido, because it’s practical & real. Too many people get wrapped up in rank & labels... traditional is great, but reality, is the world is about survival of the fittest. You’re either a wolf or a sheep. 🤙🏾
Hey Lenny! Just wanted to say I've training Aikido and Krav Maga as well. My Irimi Nage is ASU based but I in Krav Maga tonight we just did your version and worked flawlessly vs a Shominuchi with a bat.
I really loved this video and thank you so much for your hard work to put these lessons out there. I work such a busy schedule where I can't take classes but I've studied for years from your videos and others on my own and I train the best I can and my skills get better and better. Keep up the good work. Haters will always be there in all we do but just like you've talked about your always have an invitation for them to come to your dojo and challenge you but most of the time they just are talk big mouths who talk the talk but don't walk the walk. I'm same with people who talk where I'm from and I'm like let's go spare and they find an excuse to back out. Your such a great teacher you and team. Keep it up much love from a student to teacher. Keep posting more lessons. Could you do more videos about the black belt rondori test it's dangers but serious for a person to be a black belt and pass the ultimate test to prove to be a black belt? My name is Michael from Oklahoma but live in Utah
Those who pretend this is not a « do » style but a jutsu : you should try to see yoshinkan aikido school. The difference between « peace and love » aikido and more « realistic » ones are just due to the period at which ueshiba sensei taught : before the war for the realistic ones, and after the war for the peace and love style ( which is understandable. After ww2 you probably want to teach people to live in harmony rather than smash themselves on the ground). But both styles were « do ».
Awesome video , just found your channel as I was interested in learning but was afraid / nervous to start. Over that now thanks to your up front approach. I wish I lived closer as you would have a new student.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I ALWAYS LOVED THIS PARTICULAR TECHNIQUE WATCHING SS...YOU REALLY SHOW IT WELL AND I HAVE REALLY LEARNED FROM YOU...THANKS SO MUCH..ARIGATO SENSEI
Sensei Roid Rage!! :)))) Jocking and all, I love this channel, makes me proud of practicing Aikido and I have actually better some of my techniques because of this channel. Subbed and Respect!
Love your videos.... for one .... and study them intensely. There are alot different ways to handle a double leg take down sometimes unavoidable (always by the perpetrator ) what are some counter techniques that YOU would apply ... thanks Stan
Brother you know your shit. I totally agree, rank is shit, ability is all. Just watched several of your vids and subscribed. You remind me of my Aikido intructor in Vegas. Its nice to see true combat Aikido, very effective, not enough of that in this art!
Great demosntrations, things might be better kept safe at dojos but must be tough outside, i like your point, the sensei must teach his traines that the real world is a way different from the dojo .. respect ,from Algeria
Lenny... all the naysayers have never had a street beef in their lives. They have either been in tournaments where their confidence is predicated by the security of a controlled environment or they have never even been in a fight. But for those of us who have had to make arrests. Who were held accountable for every injury inflicted on assailants. Those of us who have done law enforcement work, wether it be police or peace officer, understand why Aikido is so effective. When you are the protector, you appreciate the subtleties of Aikido. The greatest thing about Aikido is that it is as hard or as soft as you want it to be. Your approach is quite hard. In today's world hard approaches are quite nessecary in dealing with street threats. Again thank you for the amazing post. As always.... great work. I have lots more to say to the naysayers. But I'll just leave it at thank you sir. That was some funny assed shit at the end😆😆😆😆😆
I've always loved how those movements look first time I saw it in the Steven Seagal movie being a big pro wrestling fan I recognized it as a clothesline immediately with other movements to set it up looks really cool and it's very quick your movements are quick and crisp
By the way Lenny I love it when you stick your face right into the camera real close it's what I call up close and personal keep doing it I love it I'm sure a lot of people are scared s******* when you do that good they ought to be
@@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13 hey Lenny Craig Bolton I want to request something from you if possible can you do a video sometime for kids that are getting bullied in school or older people that don't have the dexterity you do or they can be throwing people all over the place can you come up with something real simple that they can take away with them after looking at the video and implement it right away so that's easy enough and effective cuz a lot of these moves that you do if you're not practicing with somebody you can forget very easily so if you could do one video and keep it simple sometimes simple is better keep up the good work I'm putting the word out there still regarding Roadhouse 2 I understand you have quite a following in the hardcore biker world well it's understandable those guys fight a lot lot of it is turf wars
@@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13 you're a legend in the biker world Lenny that's all I can tell you don't take that in a bad way by the way they love you I know they get a little rough but you know they come from a rough world but then you get rough too in a good way they learn a lot from you Lenny because those guys fight a lot and they fight fight amongst different biker clubs and and so on just like an all aspects of Life Lenny there's good people and bad people there's good people in your world and there's some bad ones there's good people in the bike world and there are some unscrupulous ones they're a good cops and there's plenty of bad cops out there you can pull up all the videos of unscrupulous things cops do on these videos matter of fact I made quite a bit of commentary on them and it wasn't very complimentary I don't mess around I'm not afraid of my own shadow I've been challenged some of these a-holes to come out here and grab me by the neck like they do some of these old ladies and these videos and beat the crap out of them there's one you ought to take a look at she won a $3 million dollar lawsuit she supposedly was trying to steal a little potted plant from Walmart she gave it back to them she tried paying for it she was walking along the highway three cops caught up with her and beat the crap out of her it was enough to make your blood boil and I'm being kind when I say that I said to myself boy if Lenny can only get his hands on these three cops I don't think there would be anything left of them I assume you got my message about doing a video on something that a kid could do at school that's getting bullied or an older person that's not very dexterous or agile like you are some they can learn real quick and walk away and put it to use like I said sometimes simple is better cuz your method is fantastic but it takes a while to learn in most cases just a thought keep doing what you're doing you're growing quite a clientele out here and trust me I'm putting out the word every site that I go on I try to mention rogue warriors by the way there's a lot of martial art videos out there man some of them will get you killed or hurt at the very least it's pretty pathetic a lot of them check out Crista Jacobson she's like you fantastic and appears to be a great teacher when she moves her arms and hands you ought to hear the sound it makes it's so fast it's a blur and I'm not kidding I had to rewind it on how many times I said man I can't even see that man maybe you can have her in Roadhouse 2 yeah I'm still pushing Roadhouse 2 I'm going to do everything in my power to make it happen Lenny but remember being I'm the one that's going through all this work to get you in Roadhouse you better have me in it in some form or another and not just a 10-minute spot either remember I love the camera I love attention I'm fun to be around good sense of humor an extremely tough when I have to be by the way I'm not skinny either I'm pushing 240 lb I work out with weights 7 days a week I took today off which is unusual I needed some rest most guys only work out maybe four or five times a week but I've been pushing it I've had a lot of health issues so I'm trying to bolster up my immune system and so on and so forth cancer no thyroid but I'm doing it almost a year and a half ago maybe a little bit more I was 120 lb when I was in the hospital I wait under a hundred pounds so I made quite a change in my body I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror I was all bones not anymore today is May 3rd 2022 keep being brutal and militant Lenny that's the only way we like it stay healthy and safe
@@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13 hey Lenny I forgot to tell you I left it on one of your other or I should say I left a response on one of your other videos I have the basic thumbnail sketch of what Roadhouse 2 will be all about I laid it out there sort of and it's basically going to be about bikers coming into your place and trying to take over your bar and you're going to be overwhelmed so you're going to have to call upon the local Mafia who you know not exactly something you want to do but you're going to have to solicit their help cuz it's going to be a little bit too much for when one guy to handle and the bikers are going to take your daughter which could be played by Dana they're going to use her in one of their bars as a dancer if you know what I mean without getting a salacious and they're going to do things in front of you to the daughter just to get to you to make you conform so that's a basic premise there's a lot more to it than that but it's going to be really a badass movie very violent don't worry Lenny you'll live we don't want nothing to happen to you in the movie we want to see a lot of broken bones and dead guys on the other side of the aisle but I'm a good writer and I can put things together real quick so incorporate me into the laying out of the movie if it's done right it will be a movie that nobody will stop talking about and it'll put you on the map who knows you might be able to put out a lot of DVDs movies like you know who I'm talking about let's make it a reality you can use some of your guys in there as Fall guys Chris knows how to be thrown around a lot I can see that Bob Frank rod you're always throwing him around I don't know how they do it be honest with you keep fighting the fight Lenny we'll get it done one way or the other
I know it's an old video man, but I've been doing aikido for 6+ years, and various martial arts for 35 years. What you present is very valid and completely useful. O'sensei I don't think could understand the modern perspective of practical application of aikido. And I think that even in my school, my Shihan was upset that I questioned the delivery of traditional aikido. Staged martial arts does NOTHING for you in the streets. Very few black belts now-a-days understand that...
Finally found someone teaching what I wanted to learn!! Thanks so much for posting. Got a new subscriber!
That’s fantastic glad to hear I still got it. Thank you
Awesome videos! I studied Aikido in NY under Hagihira for a few years. Plus, I've studied Kung Fu and Karate. I am a retired Police Officer and Aikido does work on the street. Keep up the great work!

Absoloutely Agreed sir.. Thank you for exposing the Truth..Your Approach is Brilliant and much Needed
And full respect to Uke for taking all the stuff that came...He was definitly hearing the bells ring in his head that night!.

hehe i remember this video from before. It has always been my favourite Aikido throw by far! Iriminage is just savage!
Hey Lenny! Just wanted to say I've training Aikido and Krav Maga as well. My Irimi Nage is ASU based but I in Krav Maga tonight we just did your version and worked flawlessly vs a Shominuchi with a bat.
ASU BASED, Who did you train with in aikido? My original aikido training was with ASU at the Chicago aikikai.
@@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13Chuck Greer Sensei he trained under Bill Gleason.
we are trying to start the only Dojo in Mobile Alabama. Closest one around is Montgomery, Pensacola, or New Orleans
I know who Gleason sensei is, I’ve trained with him a few times at seminars years ago.
Well I wish you the best of luck with the start of your dojo.
As always brother, keep up the momentum and great instruction.
Love your videos Lenny! Please keep this great effort

This is real world crazy good
Well and perfectly said Keith, and absolutely correct
Thank you for sharing Sensei. It's too bad you're not posting anymore. I am delving into the chest of gems on this channel.
you are fabulous sir. you are totally right. from the bottom of my heart, you teach the real thing. not the BS.
Those who pretend this is not a « do » style but a jutsu : you should try to see yoshinkan aikido school. The difference between « peace and love » aikido and more « realistic » ones are just due to the period at which ueshiba sensei taught : before the war for the realistic ones, and after the war for the peace and love style ( which is understandable. After ww2 you probably want to teach people to live in harmony rather than smash themselves on the ground). But both styles were « do ».
Love the Truth! Keep it real, it works as you have said!
And fantastic Uke!Respect!
Great video. Thanks for sharing
i appreciate your videos...i am also an aikido practitioner.
Awesome video , just found your channel as I was interested in learning but was afraid / nervous to start. Over that now thanks to your up front approach. I wish I lived closer as you would have a new student.
24:20 man, you seriously know how to make me wanna visit the states.
Thanks again for a great video Lenny.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I ALWAYS LOVED THIS PARTICULAR TECHNIQUE WATCHING SS...YOU REALLY SHOW IT WELL AND I HAVE REALLY LEARNED FROM YOU...THANKS SO MUCH..ARIGATO SENSEI
Lenny, you're awesome! Keep it up!
i must say this is how i think aikido should be in a street fight
Sensei Roid Rage!! :)))) Jocking and all, I love this channel, makes me proud of practicing Aikido and I have actually better some of my techniques because of this channel. Subbed and Respect!
hi Lenny, I'm learning so much, wish I could train with you, love your video's..
Where do you live
Love your videos.... for one .... and study them intensely. There are alot different ways to handle a double leg take down sometimes unavoidable (always by the perpetrator ) what are some counter techniques that YOU would apply ... thanks Stan
Thank you for showing us the really effectiveness and how deadly can aikido techniques can be ,once they are well Applied. Greatings from Ecuador
Brother you know your shit. I totally agree, rank is shit, ability is all. Just watched several of your vids and subscribed. You remind me of my Aikido intructor in Vegas. Its nice to see true combat Aikido, very effective, not enough of that in this art!
the music is epic in the beginning
Love real applications of ur stuff keep up the great work
Great demosntrations, things might be better kept safe at dojos but must be tough outside, i like your point, the sensei must teach his traines that the real world is a way different from the dojo .. respect ,from Algeria
Greetings from Sweden and to say you rock! much respect! very inspirational! I'm taking that energy to the dojo, you can quote me on that :)
A yes, up until 1:40 i actually wondered "What the hell happened to him?!" XD.
lol, i thought I'd throw you guy's off with that soft intro.
Lenny Great video brother from the U.K.
Great Video and application.
Bravo! I am digging it. This guy really gets it. In a real fight where adrenaline kicks in, simple is the only things that works. I love this guy!
Your speaking the truth brother...keep doing what you doing!
10 seconds and i'm in. Thanks mate.
Lenny your a badass and keep up the great work.
Thank you will do
excellent video
Nice video bro what you said is true I've practice aiki for years and i go to your videos for motivation
Train the technique....got the concept...I changed that open arm for an upright elbow. Bow to you sensei.
Lenny... all the naysayers have never had a street beef in their lives. They have either been in tournaments where their confidence is predicated by the security of a controlled environment or they have never even been in a fight. But for those of us who have had to make arrests. Who were held accountable for every injury inflicted on assailants. Those of us who have done law enforcement work, wether it be police or peace officer, understand why Aikido is so effective. When you are the protector, you appreciate the subtleties of Aikido. The greatest thing about Aikido is that it is as hard or as soft as you want it to be. Your approach is quite hard. In today's world hard approaches are quite nessecary in dealing with street threats. Again thank you for the amazing post. As always.... great work. I have lots more to say to the naysayers. But I'll just leave it at thank you sir. That was some funny assed shit at the end😆😆😆😆😆
I've always loved how those movements look first time I saw it in the Steven Seagal movie being a big pro wrestling fan I recognized it as a clothesline immediately with other movements to set it up looks really cool and it's very quick your movements are quick and crisp
Great stuff
By the way Lenny I love it when you stick your face right into the camera real close it's what I call up close and personal keep doing it I love it I'm sure a lot of people are scared s******* when you do that good they ought to be
I love your comments Craig, their awesome!!! God bless
@@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13 hey Lenny Craig Bolton I want to request something from you if possible can you do a video sometime for kids that are getting bullied in school or older people that don't have the dexterity you do or they can be throwing people all over the place can you come up with something real simple that they can take away with them after looking at the video and implement it right away so that's easy enough and effective cuz a lot of these moves that you do if you're not practicing with somebody you can forget very easily so if you could do one video and keep it simple sometimes simple is better keep up the good work I'm putting the word out there still regarding Roadhouse 2 I understand you have quite a following in the hardcore biker world well it's understandable those guys fight a lot lot of it is turf wars
Where are you hearing that I have a following in the biker world?
@@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13 you're a legend in the biker world Lenny that's all I can tell you don't take that in a bad way by the way they love you I know they get a little rough but you know they come from a rough world but then you get rough too in a good way they learn a lot from you Lenny because those guys fight a lot and they fight fight amongst different biker clubs and and so on just like an all aspects of Life Lenny there's good people and bad people there's good people in your world and there's some bad ones there's good people in the bike world and there are some unscrupulous ones they're a good cops and there's plenty of bad cops out there you can pull up all the videos of unscrupulous things cops do on these videos matter of fact I made quite a bit of commentary on them and it wasn't very complimentary I don't mess around I'm not afraid of my own shadow I've been challenged some of these a-holes to come out here and grab me by the neck like they do some of these old ladies and these videos and beat the crap out of them there's one you ought to take a look at she won a $3 million dollar lawsuit she supposedly was trying to steal a little potted plant from Walmart she gave it back to them she tried paying for it she was walking along the highway three cops caught up with her and beat the crap out of her it was enough to make your blood boil and I'm being kind when I say that I said to myself boy if Lenny can only get his hands on these three cops I don't think there would be anything left of them I assume you got my message about doing a video on something that a kid could do at school that's getting bullied or an older person that's not very dexterous or agile like you are some they can learn real quick and walk away and put it to use like I said sometimes simple is better cuz your method is fantastic but it takes a while to learn in most cases just a thought keep doing what you're doing you're growing quite a clientele out here and trust me I'm putting out the word every site that I go on I try to mention rogue warriors by the way there's a lot of martial art videos out there man some of them will get you killed or hurt at the very least it's pretty pathetic a lot of them check out Crista Jacobson she's like you fantastic and appears to be a great teacher when she moves her arms and hands you ought to hear the sound it makes it's so fast it's a blur and I'm not kidding I had to rewind it on how many times I said man I can't even see that man maybe you can have her in Roadhouse 2 yeah I'm still pushing Roadhouse 2 I'm going to do everything in my power to make it happen Lenny but remember being I'm the one that's going through all this work to get you in Roadhouse you better have me in it in some form or another and not just a 10-minute spot either remember I love the camera I love attention I'm fun to be around good sense of humor an extremely tough when I have to be by the way I'm not skinny either I'm pushing 240 lb I work out with weights 7 days a week I took today off which is unusual I needed some rest most guys only work out maybe four or five times a week but I've been pushing it I've had a lot of health issues so I'm trying to bolster up my immune system and so on and so forth cancer no thyroid but I'm doing it almost a year and a half ago maybe a little bit more I was 120 lb when I was in the hospital I wait under a hundred pounds so I made quite a change in my body I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror I was all bones not anymore today is May 3rd 2022 keep being brutal and militant Lenny that's the only way we like it stay healthy and safe
@@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13 hey Lenny I forgot to tell you I left it on one of your other or I should say I left a response on one of your other videos I have the basic thumbnail sketch of what Roadhouse 2 will be all about I laid it out there sort of and it's basically going to be about bikers coming into your place and trying to take over your bar and you're going to be overwhelmed so you're going to have to call upon the local Mafia who you know not exactly something you want to do but you're going to have to solicit their help cuz it's going to be a little bit too much for when one guy to handle and the bikers are going to take your daughter which could be played by Dana they're going to use her in one of their bars as a dancer if you know what I mean without getting a salacious and they're going to do things in front of you to the daughter just to get to you to make you conform so that's a basic premise there's a lot more to it than that but it's going to be really a badass movie very violent don't worry Lenny you'll live we don't want nothing to happen to you in the movie we want to see a lot of broken bones and dead guys on the other side of the aisle but I'm a good writer and I can put things together real quick so incorporate me into the laying out of the movie if it's done right it will be a movie that nobody will stop talking about and it'll put you on the map who knows you might be able to put out a lot of DVDs movies like you know who I'm talking about let's make it a reality you can use some of your guys in there as Fall guys Chris knows how to be thrown around a lot I can see that Bob Frank rod you're always throwing him around I don't know how they do it be honest with you keep fighting the fight Lenny we'll get it done one way or the other
This is gold. Thank you
I know it's an old video man, but I've been doing aikido for 6+ years, and various martial arts for 35 years. What you present is very valid and completely useful. O'sensei I don't think could understand the modern perspective of practical application of aikido. And I think that even in my school, my Shihan was upset that I questioned the delivery of traditional aikido. Staged martial arts does NOTHING for you in the streets. Very few black belts now-a-days understand that...
Miss you guys, post very good videos really hope you guys come back very soon..
