Thank you Lenny. I think the "roll it again" part just closed a hole in my ikkyo ura. I hate ikkyo ura, so any re-try troubleshooting steps are always useful. Maybe the initial purpose of sitting pins was so you could reach the attacker's neck with a knife and kill them? Doesn't make sense in the modern world anymore, so my new dojo prefers standing pins, too.
love the video Lenny ty again so much ur a great guy great teacher!!! ur deffenety one of my favorites it's greatly appreciated and plz keep the vids coming plz ur friend as always Jack from mi.
Thanks Lenny. My Sensei also teaches us to use the same leg sweep or reaping technique. His extensive Judo background is a blessing for all his students.
I love that you opened with the acknowledgment that the attack "as taught" is unrealistic but then highlighted potential real-world equivalent attacks to which the technique might apply. Would stepping off his line of attack adversely affect the application of the initial deflection and/or grab? I ask because, especially if he's swinging a bottle or knife, you'd better be damned sure about the deflection. 4:55 - In addition to the leg sweep, and stomp to the back of the knee would be very effective. I know it's not in line with the peace-loving nature of traditional Aikido, but "starting the motorcycle" on the back of his knee would greatly hinder his ability to continue. I love your mention of the "tripod". I've never thought of it in those terms, but I love that description of placing his weight where is leg's *aren't*.
Viewed the clip just now Sensei Penny. Like the way, you explAined the breakdown of the defense ¿ Not just post it for entertainment. If ,n you into a person who happens to outweigh the odds of strength on his or her part ,you have the advantage otherwise. The examples is just like the components of a Judobthrow. There are three parts. 1. Kuzuahi ,Tsurkuri& ,Kake. Love it sir. Hope to meet you.
Ueshiba used to ATTACK with shomen uchi, and when the uke tried to block THEN he used Ikkyo. Saito Sensei said that was the only way to do Ikkyo. Any thoughts on that?
I'm with the Russian Aikikai school, and they teach us that ikkyo shoumen uchi should be executed during the "wind-up" or "backswing" of the attacking arm, in other words at the very first movement when the arm moves back overhead (before coming down with the strike). Applying it during the strike itself (as master Lenny is doing here) would be considered too late (due to situations such as at 5:00 in the video when the nage meets strong resistance from the uke's strike, effectively stopping the movement). When the nage has to deal with the force of the uke's strike, it becomes more of a matter of applying muscle strength, at which point the nage's victory is no longer guaranteed and he has to resort to more pragmatic elements such as leg sweeps, etc. However, the problem with applying ikkyo on the backswing of the arm is that it's extremely difficult to time, because the speed of the average strike means that the window is very small. Another problem is distance. You have to move into the uke's movement very quickly, almost pre-emptively, which means you basically have to guess when the uke will strike if your reaction speed isn't top-notch. I'm guessing this is why O'sensei and the others you mentioned applied ikkyo after striking with shoumen uchi themselves and prompting the uke to block. Attacking the uke allows you to 1. close the distance between you and the uke, giving you more time for the technique and 2. gain access to the uke's elbow by forcing him to block and lift it up. His lifting up his arm/elbow to block is the same as the "backswing" or "wind up" movement of a shoumen uchi, so you can utilise the motion of his blocking arm to apply the technique.
Love your series! I teach Ueshiban Aikido in a Corrections/Detention facility setting, so I use more pinning techniques for the purpose of cuffing/containing the inmate. I notice that you don't bend the wrist of the attacking arm until after you have uke on the ground. Is there a specific reason for this? I get more control of uke from the onset of the attack with this.
David Jerome : I would love to see the jab. That’s a place where our dojo doesn’t play enough w; those typical feeling out hits and chipping away at someone.
It depends on how you train, and what proficiency means to you. If your training is good and properly aligns with your vision of "proficiency" then really only a few years. People say shit like "oh it takes 20+ years to get good at aikido" but that's bullshit. If anything takes you 20 years to achieve proficiency, then you've wasted 17 years of your life

I am always impressed with your simple breakdown of detailed movements. Nice variations Sly sensei!
Thank you for the valuable insight.
Your explanation of maai and center line are realy great.Thanks.

This is basic Ikkyo. Technically you would been the wrist during application, you would do that applying nikyo.
good
cool vid lenny
oss
nice video sensei.👍👍👍
Aikido IS BEST EVER!
Only in the movies
Why do you never cover the truly important aspects; how do you keep your unagi so damn white? We want the secrets of the Rogue Warrior Laundry Room!
This technique can also be used against a jab. It would be good if you did a video on that application, also.
David Jerome : I would love to see the jab. That’s a place where our dojo doesn’t play enough w; those typical feeling out hits and chipping away at someone.
awesome
When he's late he has to use fighting mind.
How long does the average student take to become proficient with this art? I'm not slamming, I'm admiring it. Best wishes.
