90% of self defense is staying away from stupid people and stupid situations. Best advice an instructor ever gave me. No bars, booze, drugs, shady relationships or crazy women. Haven’t been in a fight in 25 years since walking away from all of that.
@natepoodle9132 and don't forget, there are bullies running rampant. If you're in a situation, they feel like they just HAVE TO make you look worse, by laying you in the floor. I try every way possible to not be in a fight. I was in fire and rescue for over two decades, because I liked HELPING FOLKS, not hurting them. If they persist, I always ask them if they like HOSPITAL FOOD. That's their last chance to leave me be. I'd say, it's been over 50 years since I was in a fight.
It works for guys well, but when you are a woman, everywhere could be the bad place for you. You go just to your car from the store, or gi home after work. Walking autside in the bright sunlight - it doesn't matter . We have to be on allert even in our homes...
@@djbigk9765 Practice drawing everyday, you get good at drawing. Practice an instrument everyday, you get good with the instrument. Practice hitting people in the face everyday, and you get good at it.
Did something similar back in high school this bully who was 2x my size put me in a chokehold from behind, I reached down and squeezed the living shit out of his testicle 😫😫
Just my two cents: I'm an IT guy, not really used to fights and so on. When I was 22 I got into a confrontation with 4 guys really wishing to hurt me and they clearly stated. Reason: my girlfriend was the ex of one of them - typical bullies. I was sh**ting my pants, I was alone with my girlfriend, no friends, nothing. They were waiting outside. I couldn't do much, so... I called a cab in front of the club, asked a bouncer to see us out till we get in the cab and escaped the trouble. Now, I'm 42 years old, I'm a Taekwondo practitioner for over 15 years and I still avoid confrontations. I'm not scared anymore, but my main concern is this: I have to get back home the way I left: no bruises, no harm done. If I'm with family and friends I would just defend them or people in need who can't defend themselves. I've been to prison for 3 weeks till the Police and prosecutors saw some footage and decided I was not guilty after a fight in the streets defending three 12 years old girls coming from school. Yet, they said "You will pay a fee for potential mortal hits and the hospital bills", I paid, but I'm still alive and still trying to stay away from trouble. My simple advice: mind your own business and don't hit anyone unless you have to and if you hit, be the first to hit and make it count. Again: stay away from trouble, you have a life to live, you're not a superhero, we are all people and should use words to solve problems. If you have knowledge of Martial Arts or other sports that taught you to fight, fight to defend yourself and other people, use it for protection only - that's the only way to prove something - you're a good citizen, the good guy. If you want to prove that you're tough, then... that's all you are - a tough guy with 100% muscle and minus 100% brains.
@@yuri7674 Hi, Adam! Yes, at some point you might be right, when fighting different styles and fighting professionals, TKD might not be effective. But, with all do respect, it's too much to say that TKD doesn't allow you to defend yourself or anyone. TKD first teaches you how to dodge hits, how to rather avoid the hits instead of hitting, and when you create a good scenario and position in the fight that will allow you to strike and KO the opponent, then I should say TKD is good. Any (real) Martial Art is good to defend yourself as long as you see the Martial Art as a way of living, not necessarily to always think of everybody in the street like they are all potential enemies. Is much more than that, but always before using my physical force and fighting skills I always use my brain in finding the most effective and efficient escape together with the person I'm defending. The bodyguard courses teach you how to get out of situations without hurting yourself or others and escape with your "objective" clean and untouched. Anyway, thank you for your comment, I appreciate it. All the best!
@Koter alexous Hello Koter and gratitude for the nice words, I do appreciate them. I couldn't agree with more than this. TKD taught me how to exploit my weak points and solidify the core of my strong ones. I'm humble because I like to listen and understand, get the information, classify it, store it or not and how/when to use it. Information is more useful than just labeling and judging. That's how I auto-educated myself and perhaps being an IT also helped me in being more analytical instead of jumping to conclusions.
Glad to see that you included the haymaker because the overhand right is the number one punch in street fights, and yet it is seldom dealt with in dojos.
It's because if you're in a proper dojo, it's something you learn passively as you train against real punches that are barely telegraphed or better. If you can handle yourself a single haymaker (as in no feints involved) shouldn't hit you if you're even half ready.
@@turbomanmechachrist The haymaker is the overhand right. Most dojos, proper or not, practice strictly against straight punches because that is traditional. It is a rare dojo with an enlightened instructor that will practice against an uppercut, a hook, or an overhand right. So I disagree with what you're saying about picking it up passively. If you don't drill it in the dojo, you are at a disadvantage in a real encounter.
@@turbomanmechachrist "Haymakers" I 've repeatedly observed are loose, circular, swinging punches starting with the arms hanging naturally to the sides of the torso targeting high to the sides of the head that use the inside edge of the fist as a striking surface and not the front knuckles. Straight punches and angular crosses also, not using a guard ( completely open) with the arms hanging naturally to the sides of the torso targeting high to the head (front of face) using their knuckles is the other most common punches used by statistical probability in a street fight. The type of punches I've mentioned here are performed by untrained thugs. against lighter weight, shorter and lesser arm reach crime target victims.
@Bloods They actually do work. I have never understood why people fail to understand. it's probably because nobody is explaining it. if you do not believe it works, try it with somebody. you will see. but like everything in life, the more skilled fighter will win, fighting style is irrelevant. that is why a karate fighter can beat a boxer in a fight, and then a week later a different boxer may win against a completely different karate fighter. karate was not stronger than boxing one week, then the next week it got weaker. its all down to the skill of the individual, not the Art. So if you believe you are not skilled enough to apply these techniques in combat, blame your lack of skill, not the technique mate.
@Bloods i don't practice Aikido. I'm simply saying its the fighter, not the martial art. on the street I would prefer to know Aikido, it's efficient and effective. in a ring, I would prefer BJJ, as its more aggressive. but because it's an external art it requires force. so there are weight categories. in real life, if you are not a big guy your BJJ will not work on anyone. only people smaller than you. Aikido has no height or weight restrictions it focuses on real life. the techniques are practiced slowly because if done fast, they would seriously injure the opponent every time a technique is done.
@Bloods I accept there is no real sparring, and that some of the demonstrations online are stupid. they throw themselves to the ground. no wonder it gets a lot of criticism. most of that is when there is some very high ranking teacher who is about 80 years old. The young student will pay him the respect and go down. or it will be when they simply roll out of a throw to prevent injury. in real life, the technique will be applied without the Uke rolling, as he wouldn't have the time, he would just hit the floor. your hate for these techniques clearly looks like you don't think it's possible to parry a punch or evade it, especially if its a combo. well only in the ring do people do combos or try put someone in an arm lock. on the street, EVERYBODY goes for the knockout. that's where Aikido is best. if you practiced Japanese martial arts you would know about mushin, zanshin and fudoshin. They are fundamental to the technique. you have to consider them when watching aikido techniques. you cannot separate them, or ignore them. These arts were not made for the ring, but for war. MMA is for the ring, but i have never seen an army train in that style for war.
I too am also good at taking a kick to the balls without even flinching. I think the pain is either psychological (people think their balls are more fragile than they really are or amplify what little they do feel imagining it's way worse than it is) or I'm just really not good at feeling or I've been training martial arts too long and my body is steel. Take your pick.
@@FringeWizard2 A straight kick I could see not being useful, but did you ever get a "flat footer". Example, years ago one of my cousins, for some reason decided to kick me in the groin from behind, his foot struck the bottom of my sack flat...It wasn't a strong kick, but it felt worse than getting the wind knocked out of me. I think you're right about people thinking their balls are more fragile (or it's a psychosomatic reaction from the male ego's need to validating they do posses the jewels) by overreacting to a power kick. But I think there is something to a lighter kick that covers more surface area, like there are some nerves there that only urologists know of and they keep it that knowledge secret as all Urologists have for the last 3000 years.....yes that last part is not real, but seriously, light flat kick, I dub it "the grazer" has dropped me before, but those aiming to split the uprights from 60 yards only have a shot a t sending one of the boys up, and it will drop (thanks gravity) at least from a friends experience i"m aware of. Still "I just stand there and take it and watch them break all their toes.'' is now one of my favorite quotes.
I've studied Kung Fu, karate, ju jitsu & kick boxing from the age of 13 and have competed in the ring on many occasions won & lost but always tried my best
I really love these! The general public is not familiar with the realistic and practical side of Aikido; trying to explain it to the general public is extremely difficult, but you have done it!!!
@@KopyErr you'd see more of this utilized in combat sports. Sure this may work against someone who is absolutely incompetent/ has no idea how to fight/wasted.. However there are ALOT of people that have general idea of fighting, it's pretty popular.
Thank you, this will definitely make my job a lot easier. The kids at the daycare can get a little rowdy at times, so using one of these techniques will definitely help me out a lot.
@@x-force6010 you are apparently knowledgeable about aikido thinking that it only works with grabbing attacks ... That is actually the novice level but when you advance you start to Parry even sword attacks .. and doing things in slow motion during training is essential because it develops your muscle memory then you will do it without thinking ....
He’s got my respect and full attention. He’s showing us the real bridge between street and dojo. He’s a flawless communicator and a very experienced and effective fighter.
Very funny when he goes up on his lines and forgets the next move. Funny enough, but he had a good larf at himself and he didn't blame anyone for throwing him off his pace. Good dude.
Being calm can offset the aggressor. I trained in the art of Zen sword for seven years to get my balance back after getting mugged. I walked through an alley as a shortcut. I heard footsteps ahead of me. There was a corner in the alley. I realized that there was only one person in the alley. I didn't know where the person was so I went where he wasn't. As I rounded the corner I saw him standing on a crate with his fist set for a downward punch. I was far enough away to tell him that I didn't mean to scare him and you have to be careful walking in an alley at night. He stayed on the crate but didn't move. I told him that you could get mugged easily so be careful on your way home. I don't know if he tried mugging anyone else that night but he may have decided to retire from being a mugger.
Keeps your heart rate lower and that is something you can control. Most fights are over in no time from my experience. Plus my go to is to create distance... Even inches matter and angles angles angles it has probably helped me the most to avoid fuckery
bouncers are always calm, even if you're talking shit to them, they can only intimidate as they are trained or hired that way.. the worst thing they can do to you is push or shove.. unless you attack them first.. as the saying goes "calling out the devil is one thing, facing him is another"
@Alexander Supertramp Nope, i always like to get the m enraged. They don't think clearly and make mistakes, a mistake like swinging wildly like you suggested. Those spastic morons are the easiest to beat with just a jab.
You're forgetting the first rule guys. Don't be where the trouble arises. If it's getting too drunk, too rowdy, making you feel uncomfortable, just leave.
This guy is a great teacher. Wish he would open a dojo in the the states, specifically southern California. The techniques he demonstrates resemble American Kenpo quite a bit. I appreciate that he shows us a more practical approach to defending yourself on the street. Kenpo and Aikido tend to have overly complex techniques that are difficult to use in a real life situation. Thank you for the videos, please keep them coming and please open a dojo here in SoCal USA.
What army taught me about "civilian" street fight: 1- you dunno the enemy, from definition; so walk away any way you can. 2 - if you can't walk away: deliver first and hopefully last blow: use maximal force (hands or whatever object come handy), for maximum damage (the worst the better), as quickly as you can. 3 - then, as soon as you can, walk away. What I learned: a fight is an EXTREME crisis. It's all-in. It's not a contest, it's survival. Martial arts can help, but what if the attacker has martial arts too? Nothing, NOTHING, trumps a pistol.
@@MeD-gd9vg Agreed Me D. Movies are just that, wishful fantasies. And as opposed to movies, never pull a gun as a deterrent, it's only movie macho hand-showing bluff and it only brings trouble. Only pull a gun only in order to fire it. Otherwise, it defeats the point of carrying a concealed last-resort means of defense.
The greatest wisdom I was ever given by my sensei was that what happens in the first three seconds of any encounter decides the outcome of that scenario hello from Australia
What I like about this channel is its actually realistic about the type of agro you are likely to meet in real life. By the way, in real life fights where you are getting attacked by multiple attackers, throwing them into each other has been remarkably effective for me.
LMAO.....this guy is great, very straightforward like Mr. T but a juxtaposition of bouncer tactical street survival with the more calm, focused Aikido "disabling without harm" aspects (but still using harm if the situation calls for it). It makes more sense than getting stuck in the repetition, movements, and hyper-focusing on technique, spirituality, etc. and forgetting a little something called situational awareness. Take awareness out of the equation (not to mention the dangerous unpredictable nature of the human species that increases exponentially when combined with stupidity enhancement drugs like alcohol) and you're left blindly dancing leaving fate to decide if you will hug spontaneous foes into submission. Please take my statement with a grain of sarcasm, and a dash of my insanity if I unintentionally offended anyone. I have great respect for Aikido and all martial arts. I love these videos and this guy is my new "UK Mr. T Akikai" hero. Always did love the A-Team growing up, Mr. T, always drinking milk, helping the kids, and not putting up with the crazy fool's jibberjabber. Although the constant drugging of a teammate to place him on an airplane against his will is much more disturbing these days as opposed to the 80's when it was....not.....as.....bad? Peace.
All these techniques work, Azu has really created an open door to where people can really experience Aikido in great detail, all the techniques that work and don't work in all types of situations. Don't be deceived by all the anti Aikido videos out there which there are plenty which claim Aikido doesn't work. Check some of these videos out and like me i decided to start training in Aikido and you will see for yourselves whether Aikido works or not, Azu, you are the man, thank you for all the great videos!!!!👍
Practiced aikido for a few years ago in my 20s. Seeing this brought it all back. I like to see different takes. Ya learn it and make it your own. Add some stuff. Fun and usefull. Thanks for the inspiration to practice again.
This is the guy everyone wants to be sat at home when they say "I'm going to get my Dad on you!" Love your energy, and humour, some great techniques here!
Can you do a video for short guys when facing a much taller opponent? I'm 5'5" and most guys already have a physical advantage over me. Perhaps show us 3 moves that every short person should know when facing a much taller attacker. Thanks again for showing us these tips. I really appreciate it.
Also can you do a video of how tall people can defend them self from a shorter person? Because alot of them shorter folks are usually the disgruntled one's. 🤔
Go straight for the balls! First thing I was taught was "It doesn't matter how big your attacker is he's never going to be able to withstand a kick to the balls" And the fact that this idiot claims he can just proves he's full of shit!
Great video, guys, thank you. I used to train in Shotokan karate when much younger and some krav maga more recently but as I get older and slower I want a way of protecting myself and family members from attack or feel confident I could use some effective defence. These moves seem possible even for a fit 65 year old with a dodgy knee!
@Aikidoflow We practice that move against kicks as well at my dojo! My father, who teaches, always has us practice blocking the leg, and then applying a technique. I thought we were the only ones that did this! Glad someone else thought of it too! Excellent video.
So many ways to attack, defend, and be attacked, so thus it's easy to forget all techniques (#4! lol). And this, guys, is why we train and practice. The more, the better. Because it not only helps us remember in our mind, but gives us body/muscle memory as well. Very nice videos, Aikidoflow! *bow* From a practitioner of your Korean counterpart, Hapkido *bow* :)
My aikido teacher always says you have to move slightly to te side. i'm glad that this important detaill is in the video. still need to train a lot to grow that reflex to move
@@jadekayak01 I just gave 1 example that I saw in the video. My teacher has a 8th dan, trains every year in Japan with other masters from all around the world. I think it's safe to say that he is not limited. thank you
@@mtlkicker as promisex im back. a oerson may have come to far forward for your prefered defence so you must move back to create space to execute technique. eg-front lunge punch and guy as a stick or knife in other hand-moving in proves fatal,remaing close if he has closed the gap is fatal. excelent counter is a kick to leading knee. sticking to the initial technique in the vid.you may have ended up face to face so you need to move back to execute this tevhnique(something else would be better but people have thier favorite techniques that they have complete control over) also some wrist manipulations wont work to close-you need space to work with
I love how you talk about techniques like ingredients, you're like a tv chef mixed up with a terminator ! I've always been a striking martial arts guy, but I love your videos. You guys make a lot of sense 👍👊
I've watched many youtube videos on Aikido which look so pointless but thanks for breaking down the practical use of the forms. Certainly this was better than the videos where the attacker just keeps walking out with a hand out like to shake hands just to flip over and over again.
I love the videos! I'm 193 CM and 22 Stone, 6'4" 310 lbs.(I did the conversion to GB), but I have a lot of trouble with people who want to test their skills against a Big American/Norwegian. I am a Big Friendly Teddy Bear, but like Mt. Everest, some people think they can climb this mountain. Your videos will help me stop those adventurous souls at Base Camp 1.

If you were doing aikido you'd learn a lot of new terms. It seems like in Japanese language "nage" means technique, and the prefix, tenshin, Shiho or what have you, tells you how to do that technique. 😊🤝🏽😀
So glad I came across your and your friend's videos. I have permanent nerve damage from surgery to both legs and feet. And am hoping if ever needed your lesions would be of great help to me. Thank you for making these videos.
Hi mate.. I've been doing all sorts of pure defense moves for years now.. I'm 48 and I've lasted so far.. I have been watching you tutorials for many months now and honestly I'd love to come training with you.. I wish I had the balls to do what your doing.. Your tutorial style is very easy to follow and very affective when under attack. I'm in London most of the time but I live in the Manchester area.. We'll never meet but keep the vids coming you are an inspiration..
Thanks, come down to the dojo next time you are in London, just check our dojo page on our website and email me to make sure we are open the day you come, but we love to see you.

I would give more thought to the way you get out of the headlock, in reality they do not hold you the way your friend did. But thanks for your video good advice.
He's probably speaking from experience. Remember, this guy was a bouncer and he is just showing off the most common attacks that he had encounter while he was on the job. But yeah, no attack is ever the same.
You remind me of my old freestyle karate instructor. Every thing taught with practice and my brother and I practice breakouts at almost full contact helps a lot. Love your vids dude!
Don’t think you gonna learn some little moves and gonna be able to defend yourself. Remember this, a trained martial artist doesn’t have to think to execute his moves, it flows naturally through him.
At least they have a fighting chance. Instead of leaving them to wolves, they got a fighting chance. They will attempt to use the technique in a fight or flight response, then they will revert back to basic fighting if it proves ineffective. By your standard, I can imagine someone think well I am not going to win so I just should concede.
I always try avoid the fight and try calm the person down, been going Muay Thai for years now and I hate completely dominating someone and regret it unless they actually don’t calm down
I really like your videos and your personality too. I'm 69 and live in the U.S. I have had 12 major operations, mostly on joints. Right ankle and left shoulder joints replaced from to really bad falls. So I wouldn't do so well now in a fight. In my early 20s I did take Tae Kwon Do but now a days I depend on Chief. He is my service dog. Half Rottweiler. My next will be a full Rottweiler. I've had three full Rotts. With Chief and I there is NO starting an attack on me. You would have to be nuts. If you are nuts he would take you down. I did learn some things from your video. Thanks for posting them, BOB and Chief.
A point of order. Peaceful people rarely get into physical confrontations, while violent people get into them all the time. So when someone wants to hurt you, you are almost always going to be at an experience disadvantage. Unlike this guy, you haven't worked as a bouncer for 20+ years and will not be able to stay as clear-headed or relaxed. Your muscles and brain will freeze. Your fine motor skills will fail. Techniques you have practiced a thousand times will suddenly feel awkward. Avoid going for wrist locks initially, when defending the first attack. Large sweeping motions with your arm, manipulating the attacker's head and/or throwing your elbows, will be easier for you to execute when panicked. Use loose locks on the attacker's elbow. Move your weight into the attacker to keep them off balance. Get them to fall down as quickly as possible, with force if you can manage it. If they try to swing at you and you put them immediately on their ass, most people won't just get up and keep coming at you. It will unsettle them. They will think you must know how to fight very well and will back off. Likely it will become verbal rather than physical, as they try to save face before getting away from you. And even if it doesn't, you have bought yourself valuable seconds to calm down so that you CAN use your fine motor skills and go for wrist locks if they try again. It is always better to use techniques that do not require your hands to be grabbing the opponent. These are stronger attacks, harder to break free from and with much more of your own strength behind them if technique/leverage fail you. They tend to move your body against the attacker's, so that you are inside the minimum range of their punches. Wrist lock techniques require precision. They fail sometimes, and when they do you are in a bad position both physically and mentally. When possible, stick to techniques that are sure to at least move the attacker in a manner they didn't wish to move -- spin them, trip them, throw them, etc etc. They need to feel like the situation is not under their control, or they will keep coming.
I agree that untrained people should not be trying to take sankyo in a bar fight. But these videos are made primarily for people who train in aikido but might be wondering how the techniques they learn in the dojo apply to real-world situations. And for that they work quite well
I am in the entertainment business and sometimes I have crazies who want to fight. These tips are very helpful. I hope that I never have to get into a fight, but I really need to know how to defend myself. Thanks for the informative video.
I can see your time on the Earth is very limited. I guess the judge will take this into consideration when he give you your years in prison if you hurt someone.
@@dphilipson move, step aside, do a nikkio, lots of potential things you can do, don't more too far though, then he can just turn and hut you again, your main goal is to shift to the side get behind them and attempt some wrist lock to take them down
@@athenathechesscub7162 I trained Wing Chun for a little bit... i know that if i decide to take down my opponent then it's game over for me. I have shit ground work (good footwork tho) and my back is shot to hell.

every form of martial arts has its applications. I never understood the need to put one down or have endless discussions about which is 'best'. (other than egos) People completely missing the point. I personally prefer Sibpalki, with all its weapons. But I know full well that I'm not gonna find a sword or spear if I get jumped down at my local.

90% of self defense is staying away from stupid people and stupid situations. Best advice an instructor ever gave me. No bars, booze, drugs, shady relationships or crazy women. Haven’t been in a fight in 25 years since walking away from all of that.
Staying away from all the bad energy is definitely helpful. And whatever another thinks of it it is his choice.
Yes, for most people. But like the guy in the video, a lot of people are bouncers, security, or police, etc.

Just my two cents: I'm an IT guy, not really used to fights and so on. When I was 22 I got into a confrontation with 4 guys really wishing to hurt me and they clearly stated. Reason: my girlfriend was the ex of one of them - typical bullies. I was sh**ting my pants, I was alone with my girlfriend, no friends, nothing. They were waiting outside. I couldn't do much, so... I called a cab in front of the club, asked a bouncer to see us out till we get in the cab and escaped the trouble. Now, I'm 42 years old, I'm a Taekwondo practitioner for over 15 years and I still avoid confrontations. I'm not scared anymore, but my main concern is this: I have to get back home the way I left: no bruises, no harm done. If I'm with family and friends I would just defend them or people in need who can't defend themselves. I've been to prison for 3 weeks till the Police and prosecutors saw some footage and decided I was not guilty after a fight in the streets defending three 12 years old girls coming from school. Yet, they said "You will pay a fee for potential mortal hits and the hospital bills", I paid, but I'm still alive and still trying to stay away from trouble. My simple advice: mind your own business and don't hit anyone unless you have to and if you hit, be the first to hit and make it count. Again: stay away from trouble, you have a life to live, you're not a superhero, we are all people and should use words to solve problems. If you have knowledge of Martial Arts or other sports that taught you to fight, fight to defend yourself and other people, use it for protection only - that's the only way to prove something - you're a good citizen, the good guy. If you want to prove that you're tough, then... that's all you are - a tough guy with 100% muscle and minus 100% brains.

Lol taekwondo suck, you will not be Able to defend anyone
@@yuri7674 Hi, Adam! Yes, at some point you might be right, when fighting different styles and fighting professionals, TKD might not be effective. But, with all do respect, it's too much to say that TKD doesn't allow you to defend yourself or anyone. TKD first teaches you how to dodge hits, how to rather avoid the hits instead of hitting, and when you create a good scenario and position in the fight that will allow you to strike and KO the opponent, then I should say TKD is good. Any (real) Martial Art is good to defend yourself as long as you see the Martial Art as a way of living, not necessarily to always think of everybody in the street like they are all potential enemies. Is much more than that, but always before using my physical force and fighting skills I always use my brain in finding the most effective and efficient escape together with the person I'm defending. The bodyguard courses teach you how to get out of situations without hurting yourself or others and escape with your "objective" clean and untouched. Anyway, thank you for your comment, I appreciate it. All the best!
@@groknow Thank you, you're most kind.
@Koter alexous Hello Koter and gratitude for the nice words, I do appreciate them. I couldn't agree with more than this. TKD taught me how to exploit my weak points and solidify the core of my strong ones. I'm humble because I like to listen and understand, get the information, classify it, store it or not and how/when to use it. Information is more useful than just labeling and judging. That's how I auto-educated myself and perhaps being an IT also helped me in being more analytical instead of jumping to conclusions.

Glad to see that you included the haymaker because the overhand right is the number one punch in street fights, and yet it is seldom dealt with in dojos.
It's because if you're in a proper dojo, it's something you learn passively as you train against real punches that are barely telegraphed or better. If you can handle yourself a single haymaker (as in no feints involved) shouldn't hit you if you're even half ready.
@@turbomanmechachrist The haymaker is the overhand right. Most dojos, proper or not, practice strictly against straight punches because that is traditional. It is a rare dojo with an enlightened instructor that will practice against an uppercut, a hook, or an overhand right. So I disagree with what you're saying about picking it up passively. If you don't drill it in the dojo, you are at a disadvantage in a real encounter.
@@turbomanmechachrist "Haymakers" I 've repeatedly observed are loose, circular, swinging punches starting with the arms hanging naturally to the sides of the torso targeting high to the sides of the head that use the inside edge of the fist as a striking surface and not the front knuckles. Straight punches and angular crosses also, not using a guard ( completely open) with the arms hanging naturally to the sides of the torso targeting high to the head (front of face) using their knuckles is the other most common punches used by statistical probability in a street fight.
The type of punches I've mentioned here are performed by untrained thugs. against lighter weight, shorter and lesser arm reach crime target victims.
I like it that you left the "I have forgotten" in 😂 makes you human and believable

Sound Critic FOR REAL
@Bloods
They actually do work. I have never understood why people fail to understand. it's probably because nobody is explaining it.
if you do not believe it works, try it with somebody. you will see. but like everything in life, the more skilled fighter will win, fighting style is irrelevant.
that is why a karate fighter can beat a boxer in a fight, and then a week later a different boxer may win against a completely different karate fighter. karate was not stronger than boxing one week, then the next week it got weaker. its all down to the skill of the individual, not the Art.
So if you believe you are not skilled enough to apply these techniques in combat, blame your lack of skill, not the technique mate.
@Bloods
i don't practice Aikido. I'm simply saying its the fighter, not the martial art. on the street I would prefer to know Aikido, it's efficient and effective. in a ring, I would prefer BJJ, as its more aggressive. but because it's an external art it requires force. so there are weight categories. in real life, if you are not a big guy your BJJ will not work on anyone. only people smaller than you. Aikido has no height or weight restrictions it focuses on real life. the techniques are practiced slowly because if done fast, they would seriously injure the opponent every time a technique is done.
@Bloods
I accept there is no real sparring, and that some of the demonstrations online are stupid. they throw themselves to the ground. no wonder it gets a lot of criticism. most of that is when there is some very high ranking teacher who is about 80 years old. The young student will pay him the respect and go down. or it will be when they simply roll out of a throw to prevent injury. in real life, the technique will be applied without the Uke rolling, as he wouldn't have the time, he would just hit the floor.
your hate for these techniques clearly looks like you don't think it's possible to parry a punch or evade it, especially if its a combo. well only in the ring do people do combos or try put someone in an arm lock. on the street, EVERYBODY goes for the knockout. that's where Aikido is best.
if you practiced Japanese martial arts you would know about mushin, zanshin and fudoshin. They are fundamental to the technique. you have to consider them when watching aikido techniques. you cannot separate them, or ignore them. These arts were not made for the ring, but for war. MMA is for the ring, but i have never seen an army train in that style for war.
And your like in your answers: bla bla bla, just like the guy in the video, bla bla bla, " if a guy comes at you, just do this" bla bla blaaaaa
4:55 "I just stand there and take it and watch them break all their toes.'' HAHA - Great video.
How does that work? What does he wear a cup?
@@shaylastruck4539 I guess they're made of steel (hehe)
I too am also good at taking a kick to the balls without even flinching. I think the pain is either psychological (people think their balls are more fragile than they really are or amplify what little they do feel imagining it's way worse than it is) or I'm just really not good at feeling or I've been training martial arts too long and my body is steel. Take your pick.
@@FringeWizard2 A straight kick I could see not being useful, but did you ever get a "flat footer". Example, years ago one of my cousins, for some reason decided to kick me in the groin from behind, his foot struck the bottom of my sack flat...It wasn't a strong kick, but it felt worse than getting the wind knocked out of me.
I think you're right about people thinking their balls are more fragile (or it's a psychosomatic reaction from the male ego's need to validating they do posses the jewels) by overreacting to a power kick. But I think there is something to a lighter kick that covers more surface area, like there are some nerves there that only urologists know of and they keep it that knowledge secret as all Urologists have for the last 3000 years.....yes that last part is not real, but seriously, light flat kick, I dub it "the grazer" has dropped me before, but those aiming to split the uprights from 60 yards only have a shot a t sending one of the boys up, and it will drop (thanks gravity) at least from a friends experience i"m aware of.
Still "I just stand there and take it and watch them break all their toes.'' is now one of my favorite quotes.

For me it's if you have no option but to fight then do not lose your temper. Staying calm will always give you an advantage imo
Being calm can offset the aggressor. I trained in the art of Zen sword for seven years to get my balance back after getting mugged. I walked through an alley as a shortcut. I heard footsteps ahead of me. There was a corner in the alley. I realized that there was only one person in the alley. I didn't know where the person was so I went where he wasn't. As I rounded the corner I saw him standing on a crate with his fist set for a downward punch. I was far enough away to tell him that I didn't mean to scare him and you have to be careful walking in an alley at night. He stayed on the crate but didn't move. I told him that you could get mugged easily so be careful on your way home. I don't know if he tried mugging anyone else that night but he may have decided to retire from being a mugger.
Keeps your heart rate lower and that is something you can control. Most fights are over in no time from my experience. Plus my go to is to create distance... Even inches matter and angles angles angles it has probably helped me the most to avoid fuckery
Half way there already ! staying calm is always good in any emergency situation !!!
bouncers are always calm, even if you're talking shit to them, they can only intimidate as they are trained or hired that way.. the worst thing they can do to you is push or shove.. unless you attack them first.. as the saying goes "calling out the devil is one thing, facing him is another"

This guy is a great teacher. Wish he would open a dojo in the the states, specifically southern California. The techniques he demonstrates resemble American Kenpo quite a bit. I appreciate that he shows us a more practical approach to defending yourself on the street. Kenpo and Aikido tend to have overly complex techniques that are difficult to use in a real life situation. Thank you for the videos, please keep them coming and please open a dojo here in SoCal USA.
What army taught me about "civilian" street fight:
1- you dunno the enemy, from definition; so walk away any way you can.
2 - if you can't walk away: deliver first and hopefully last blow: use maximal force (hands or whatever object come handy), for maximum damage (the worst the better), as quickly as you can.
3 - then, as soon as you can, walk away.
What I learned: a fight is an EXTREME crisis. It's all-in. It's not a contest, it's survival. Martial arts can help, but what if the attacker has martial arts too? Nothing, NOTHING, trumps a pistol.
Dario Di Claudio Yelp shows 2,638 martial arts venues in Southern California. For practical self defense check out Krav Maga.
@@@jeanfourcade and, if you use a pistol, dont stand it against the head of the opponent like in the movies.
@@MeD-gd9vg Agreed Me D. Movies are just that, wishful fantasies. And as opposed to movies, never pull a gun as a deterrent, it's only movie macho hand-showing bluff and it only brings trouble. Only pull a gun only in order to fire it. Otherwise, it defeats the point of carrying a concealed last-resort means of defense.
jeanfourcade Very well said, man, and very practical. These fancy skills are good for shows.
The greatest wisdom I was ever given by my sensei was that what happens in the first three seconds of any encounter decides the outcome of that scenario hello from Australia
What I like about this channel is its actually realistic about the type of agro you are likely to meet in real life. By the way, in real life fights where you are getting attacked by multiple attackers, throwing them into each other has been remarkably effective for me.
I pity the fool who pissed you off as a bouncer.
Hahaha I imagine he took his package, and I think he retired from being a bouncer
LMAO.....this guy is great, very straightforward like Mr. T but a juxtaposition of bouncer tactical street survival with the more calm, focused Aikido "disabling without harm" aspects (but still using harm if the situation calls for it). It makes more sense than getting stuck in the repetition, movements, and hyper-focusing on technique, spirituality, etc. and forgetting a little something called situational awareness. Take awareness out of the equation (not to mention the dangerous unpredictable nature of the human species that increases exponentially when combined with stupidity enhancement drugs like alcohol) and you're left blindly dancing leaving fate to decide if you will hug spontaneous foes into submission.
Please take my statement with a grain of sarcasm, and a dash of my insanity if I unintentionally offended anyone. I have great respect for Aikido and all martial arts. I love these videos and this guy is my new "UK Mr. T Akikai" hero.
Always did love the A-Team growing up, Mr. T, always drinking milk, helping the kids, and not putting up with the crazy fool's jibberjabber. Although the constant drugging of a teammate to place him on an airplane against his will is much more disturbing these days as opposed to the 80's when it was....not.....as.....bad? Peace.
Especially the men who used headlocks.
Haha!
“It’s all done and dusted”. I love it.
All these techniques work, Azu has really created an open door to where people can really experience Aikido in great detail, all the techniques that work and don't work in all types of situations. Don't be deceived by all the anti Aikido videos out there which there are plenty which claim Aikido doesn't work. Check some of these videos out and like me i decided to start training in Aikido and you will see for yourselves whether Aikido works or not, Azu, you are the man, thank you for all the great videos!!!!👍
Practiced aikido for a few years ago in my 20s. Seeing this brought it all back. I like to see different takes. Ya learn it and make it your own. Add some stuff. Fun and usefull. Thanks for the inspiration to practice again.

Can you do a video for short guys when facing a much taller opponent? I'm 5'5" and most guys already have a physical advantage over me. Perhaps show us 3 moves that every short person should know when facing a much taller attacker. Thanks again for showing us these tips. I really appreciate it.

Also can you do a video of how tall people can defend them self from a shorter person? Because alot of them shorter folks are usually the disgruntled one's. 🤔
Go straight for the balls!
First thing I was taught was "It doesn't matter how big your attacker is he's never going to be able to withstand a kick to the balls"
And the fact that this idiot claims he can just proves he's full of shit!
Great video, guys, thank you. I used to train in Shotokan karate when much younger and some krav maga more recently but as I get older and slower I want a way of protecting myself and family members from attack or feel confident I could use some effective defence. These moves seem possible even for a fit 65 year old with a dodgy knee!
That was very helpful. Great to know what you are most likely to deal with rather than what is not likely. “Less is More.”
To make this really applicable, the attacker must be a bigger guy than him.

So many ways to attack, defend, and be attacked, so thus it's easy to forget all techniques (#4! lol). And this, guys, is why we train and practice. The more, the better. Because it not only helps us remember in our mind, but gives us body/muscle memory as well. Very nice videos, Aikidoflow! *bow* From a practitioner of your Korean counterpart, Hapkido *bow* :)

a oerson may have come to far forward for your prefered defence so you must move back to create space to execute technique.
eg-front lunge punch and guy as a stick or knife in other hand-moving in proves fatal,remaing close if he has closed the gap is fatal.
excelent counter is a kick to leading knee.
sticking to the initial technique in the vid.you may have ended up face to face so you need to move back to execute this tevhnique(something else would be better but people have thier favorite techniques that they have complete control over)
also some wrist manipulations wont work to close-you need space to work with

Fighting really ain’t force against another. A true fight is a art almost a dance. It’s really beautiful in a way
That's the cutest intro and outro music I've heard for a video like this!
Don’t think you gonna learn some little moves and gonna be able to defend yourself. Remember this, a trained martial artist doesn’t have to think to execute his moves, it flows naturally through him.
At least they have a fighting chance. Instead of leaving them to wolves, they got a fighting chance. They will attempt to use the technique in a fight or flight response, then they will revert back to basic fighting if it proves ineffective. By your standard, I can imagine someone think well I am not going to win so I just should concede.
I always try avoid the fight and try calm the person down, been going Muay Thai for years now and I hate completely dominating someone and regret it unless they actually don’t calm down

That when security cameras comes in handy cameras don't lie.
A point of order.
Peaceful people rarely get into physical confrontations, while violent people get into them all the time. So when someone wants to hurt you, you are almost always going to be at an experience disadvantage. Unlike this guy, you haven't worked as a bouncer for 20+ years and will not be able to stay as clear-headed or relaxed. Your muscles and brain will freeze. Your fine motor skills will fail. Techniques you have practiced a thousand times will suddenly feel awkward.
Avoid going for wrist locks initially, when defending the first attack. Large sweeping motions with your arm, manipulating the attacker's head and/or throwing your elbows, will be easier for you to execute when panicked. Use loose locks on the attacker's elbow. Move your weight into the attacker to keep them off balance. Get them to fall down as quickly as possible, with force if you can manage it. If they try to swing at you and you put them immediately on their ass, most people won't just get up and keep coming at you. It will unsettle them. They will think you must know how to fight very well and will back off. Likely it will become verbal rather than physical, as they try to save face before getting away from you. And even if it doesn't, you have bought yourself valuable seconds to calm down so that you CAN use your fine motor skills and go for wrist locks if they try again.
It is always better to use techniques that do not require your hands to be grabbing the opponent. These are stronger attacks, harder to break free from and with much more of your own strength behind them if technique/leverage fail you. They tend to move your body against the attacker's, so that you are inside the minimum range of their punches. Wrist lock techniques require precision. They fail sometimes, and when they do you are in a bad position both physically and mentally. When possible, stick to techniques that are sure to at least move the attacker in a manner they didn't wish to move -- spin them, trip them, throw them, etc etc. They need to feel like the situation is not under their control, or they will keep coming.
Aikido actually has techniques like that. It's surprisingly useful in spite what the MMA and some of the BJJ crowd would say.
I agree that untrained people should not be trying to take sankyo in a bar fight. But these videos are made primarily for people who train in aikido but might be wondering how the techniques they learn in the dojo apply to real-world situations. And for that they work quite well
That is why striking with intent to kill is the format of many martial arts for combat.
Brother! That’s a great tactic thanks for the tips
This is a great video, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge on this subject, appreciate it very much. :D
I’ll probably just crouch and whimper, but i love watching you strategize and defend offensively!
You're such a jovial and friendly guy. Surely nobody would ever want to hit you.
Except people with a death wish
I am in the entertainment business and sometimes I have crazies who want to fight. These tips are very helpful. I hope that I never have to get into a fight, but I really need to know how to defend myself. Thanks for the informative video.
I can't wait to go to the mall and find someone to try this on....
this got me laughing, nice
no try the pub, not in mall they too lame to pick on you
I do hope you are kidding since he is teaching self defense and not offence.
@@bobpeterson1906 hes just testing it out
I can see your time on the Earth is very limited. I guess the judge will take this into consideration when he give you your years in prison if you hurt someone.
Excellent job Big man. From a BJJ standpoint these moves are super efficient and ideal for multiple attackers. Subd!
Gods, it's so amazing to see this. You just want to listen and learn these moves. This what I'd call a true teacher. Be cool, and thanks.
Brilliant stuff . Can you do a scenario for angry motorists attacking cyclist. I do like your confidence and knowledge. Great channel.
If someone goes to hit you - step out of the way.
what if they're moving toward you with a barrage of fists? deth.
Ez
@@dphilipson move, step aside, do a nikkio, lots of potential things you can do, don't more too far though, then he can just turn and hut you again, your main goal is to shift to the side get behind them and attempt some wrist lock to take them down
@@athenathechesscub7162 I trained Wing Chun for a little bit... i know that if i decide to take down my opponent then it's game over for me. I have shit ground work (good footwork tho) and my back is shot to hell.
I only asked that question because in Wing Chun we do chain punches... and when done correctly they turn anybody into a bag of regret.
Everyone takes the piss out of Aikido but I've seen a lot of doorman use Aikido to control a roudy punter. There must be something to it.
every form of martial arts has its applications. I never understood the need to put one down or have endless discussions about which is 'best'. (other than egos) People completely missing the point.
I personally prefer Sibpalki, with all its weapons. But I know full well that I'm not gonna find a sword or spear if I get jumped down at my local.
Is the doorman Steven Segal.....at Club Expendables!😄😄😄😄
Nicely explained the movements. Hats off to you MASTER.👍🙏
Love your personality and attitude. Your fun to watch and I learned something valuable.

You are cool brother! I enjoyed this
My first instructor, John Korab, told me that when someone grabs you know where his hand is located; so, strike.
Strike first. Strike hard.
Thank you, Sir! Makes perfect sense. I really like your presentation style. Keep going!
