Well guys i was really skeptic about akido till i began training , first 3 days you feel like you will never learn it and you actualy cant feel how powerfull is it , once you feel your body your balance and harmony also when u feel how much pain in 1 basic technique you feel i know it doesnt look so impersive and it look like they playing some game or its not real but once you feel the pain from 1 technique or make a 30 kg heavier men to kneel with 2 basic movements you will beleve ! And actualy i didnt wanted to train akido just beacuse i was imagining it in real fight ,tomorow is my 5th day i just bought my equipment , guys whoever want to train that art you need to beleve in the rituals it has the history of it the philosophy of it ! Aikido is martial art which is made to make your opponent give up from you to remove his aggresion to you and make him go away ,aikido will make you good person with clean spirit living in harmony with your body and soul dont compare it with aggresive martial arts like MMA boxing , kick box muay thai or etc. And 1 last thing , grabbing the wrist is the training edition you can use every technique in aikido with someone whos going to punch you in the face like a boxer for example you just need to be really skilled so you can see the incoming punch :) Whatever, there are people for all martial arts , aikido is for these guys who are not aggresive in their nature, if you are calm person you dont like to fight a lot but you want to have perfect self-defense, body and soul harmony , great balance and extremely flexible body go and sign in some aikido club ! :)
Akido is a fascinating martial art with a very interesting philosophy, you become an expert in movement and locks and it’s as much as training the mind as the body. However as a form of self-defense it suffers from excluding the strikes and kicks of it origin Jujitsu.
I'm assuming this is a troll "grabbing the wrist is the training edition you can use every technique in aikido with someone whos going to punch you in the face like a boxer" "but once you feel the pain from 1 technique or make a 30 kg heavier men to kneel with 2 basic movements you will beleve" jesus dude if you're serious I hope you never get in a fight. You will get the shit knocked out of you.
I was impressed by Sensei Mori's sense of humour, his humbleness and of course ,skill. What is immediately apparent is what a great time every one is having. I wish I was at that seminar.
I don't get why so many people are hating on some martial arts, especially Aikido... One of my first senseis told us "The most important purpose of each and every martial art is not effectivity but to improve, learn and stop comparing you to anyone" If your understanding of martial art is to learn some cool moves and skills to beat anyone then martial arts are not for you... Every art has its up- and downsides but what angers me the most are people who never took a single matial art lesson and criticize things they know nothing about
It's because they are a bunch of ignoramuses who don't understand aikido (or budo in general) and are probably terrible martial artists themselves No real martial artist would ever claim certain arts are 'fake'....Real martial artists see the value in different arts
***** You're a perfect example of what I'm talking about....Your posts are not only ignorant, they are illiterate I can "assume" you aikido doesn't work in the street, or "assure"? I assure you, aikido served me very well on the street when I was attacked, and I was only 5th kyu at the time
***** didn't really got the point of your post but let me tell you something. I do not live in any kind of "manga world" nor am i brainwashed. I am a 26 year old medicine student from Graz (Austria). I practice martial arts since i am able to walk mainly because my father himself has his own kick-boxing training centre. I have black belts in aikikai aikido, judo and muay thai. I have also trained kick-boxing, brasilian jiu-jitsu and i had the pleasure to train pencack silat in indonesia for a good year. Of al this experiences i value my aikido training the most. Not only because of the self defense (wich is more effective than you can imagine) but because of the great amount of mental training and harmony. It seems to me like you are nothing more than an internet warrior with barely any knowledge of martial arts and literally no knowledge of the meaning of "budo" Its sad to see people like you critisice arts you cant even understand but it really doesnt matter. Have a good life
Rui Almeida Hey there :) I am practicing (as well as teaching) the Aikikai style. But i do have some experience of Iwama Ryu (Takemusu). In fact i did participate in several seminars of Paolo Corallini Shihan who is a 7th dan Aikikai AND Iwama Ryu teacher. May i ask what dojo you are training in?
To all that doubt aikido; I heard a true story once; The aikido master once traveled with a train with his teacher (even bigger master). And one drunk huge muscular guy was attacking and being all agresive to people on the train. And the student said to his teacher; "Now I will show you what I've learned." And prepared for fight. And a teacher calmly said back; "No, now you will learn again, watch me" And he stood up, went to the drunk guy and asked; Hy! what did you drink? It was probably good? And the drunk guy confused, replied; "Sake"! And the teacher said with a calm voice; "Oh Sake (rice wine)! I love Sake! Why don't we go off the train and I buy you some sake, we can drink together?" And the drunk guy calmed down and suddenly started to cry, saying; I'm really sorry, my wife left me, I don't know why I am like this, I'm really drunk...". And the aikido teacher hugged him, said that it's all ok, and everyone was fine. And then the teacher said to the student; "See - this is how you really use aikido!" (sorry, I shortened the story due to youtube comment lenght restrictions, but it's the true story).
Matej Bukovec This story, while very nice. Can be applied to virtually any martial arts style. The idea is always to try and defuse the situation, to avoid the fight entirely. Physical defense is always the last resort, or it should be.
Wodinn I agree off course, but I have also been training kickboxing and my teacher always wanted to fight someone, and when he did, he was bragging about it next day in the training. That's why I stopped training it. That is probably the main difference between "eastern" (judo, aikido, karate...) and "western" (boxing, kickboxing...) martial arts. In eastern they teach you respect towards yourself and you opponent and non agresivness in everyday life. , in western they only teach you how to fight. That's why I prefer eastern martial arts.
Being an individual in a wheelchair. This form of self defense technique is quite fascinating. For example. I can spin and rotate a shoulder around to manipulate the shoulder cuff for leverage. But I cannot, physically, spin my chair while pulling a man's arm, in the same direction. That is actually physically impossible in a wheelchair. However, I could rotate the arm, and with the opposite arm, spin away from the opponent. I'll have to keep studying different Akido techniques.
+Gottlieb M. I'd carry a Tazer, and pepper spray. But I won't carry a gun. I do not care for them. There are other, just as effective, none lethal ways of self defense. Such as the other two you mentioned.
im sorry, but taser and pepperspray are useless. they can incapacitate your opponent for a few seconds or few dozen seconds, then what? you aren't going to run away in that time on wheelchair.
I always seen a person said in youtube comment about aikido like "try to grab a boxer fist" or "try to catch a boxer punch". .it is completely they dont know anything about Aikido. .i'm not a person who train aikido, or what you called as Aikidoka. .i learn a Muay Thai under my father instruction and has been in the ring over 35 times. .but my father has a friend who teach aikido and believe me, he really can pin lock you even when you used "high speed punch". .my father, me and one of my father student has taste it for ourself. .he not simply just catch the fist or a punch. .what he do is catch the elbow. .pull you for a little to off balance and take you down for his sub-mission. .what he told me is simple. .you can withdraw your fist so quickly, but your elbow is still there. .it is such a logic explanation to me. .his reaction is so fast. .it is not as slow or as dumb as it show in demo. .try it with any aikido teacher around you. .i think all of them has same reaction to real fight. .fast, brilliant, and deadly. .i have taste it myself. .he said, in real fight, it is just you, your technic and your brain. . My father want to send me to learn Aikido from him. .it maybe in my another semester break. .it is honour to me if i can get to learn how to become more faster like him :)
Mori Shihan really shows the true nature of Aikido. His dynamic movement and unique style is a pleasure to watch.We particularly love his use of evading multiple punches / kicks and strikes and then executing the appropriate technique or movement to his Uke. Highest Regards to Mori Shihan and his Uke,s.
Well, great demonstration, but it's just a demonstration. Aikido techniques are used in military and police training, maybe not as such, but as added techniques with other Martial Arts. I served in the Legion as a Commando/ Sniper and learned some of these techniques there...and believe U me they do work, but mastering them takes a long time and lot of repetition. I'm an old man now, but the great thing about Aikido is that U don't have to be extremely fit to be able to use these techniques. It's all about timing and balance. I'm not here to argue, but someone said, that it doesn't work against a larger/heavier opponent. I'm 6'2 and in the legion days i weighted about 192 lbs, so have to say that these techniques do work. Does not matter if the opponent is 6'6 and weights 250...they will go down if one is faster and has knowledge about the technique, timing and balance. Be Well, and argue with finesse and respect, Adjutant D'Aho.
I see a lot of interesting comments from people saying this isn't a real fight, etc. Very true. First off, I will list my experience so I can establish I know what I am talking about. 2nd degree black shotokan karate, black shito-ryu karate, brown judo, black jui-jitsu, master of kali-escima, training in gracie jui-jitsu with the american marines in Mayport, Florida and training in aikido when training in close protection/bodyguard work. I also have 20 yrs military experience, unarmed combat instructor and 5 overseas tours of duty. There is NO superior martial art, only superior men at applying their knowledge. Aikido demonstrations always look lame because they are done slow to prevent injuries. Aikido is taught in some form to the Secret Service members protecting the President so it must be effective don't you think? I have personally used joint locks to disarm people trying to hurt me with knives and on one occasion a very angry individual with an axe. Lots of armchair critics in here would do well to simply look at it for what it is, a demonstration.
Congratulations, Sir, on the most intelligent and informed comment on this page. Sadly. most of the negative comments come from those who know nothing but don't listen because they think they know it all... and they don't listen.. so their ignorance is eternal.
WOW! YOU THINK YOU CAN BE MASTER FOR ALL YES U CAN BUT AVOID PENALTY OF TAX OF GOVT SOMETIMES FOLLOWING LAW IS THE ESSENCE OF PROTECTION TO SELF AND OTHERS A BODY IS MEANS OF KI ENERGY ENERGY MEANS YOU CAN CONTROL ANYTHING USED SPEHERE RATHER THAN FAIR SQUARE...
I used to work in prison with a guy in his late 40's who had practised Aikido most of his life. We were understaffed, and at one stage he was with 3 aggressive prisoners by himself. I was at the end of the hall running towards him and all I remember was those 3 guys flying in 3 different directions. They were half his age and he just flung them around like ragdolls when they tried to punch him and they stayed down. They couldnt land a punch on him. To all you haters, I have seen this work in a real fight.
Did they throw a punch and then not retract their arm until a technique was applied? Like what doesn't go on in real life? Imagine hardened criminals who leave their vitals open so one can render a technique? LMFAO!
Adramalech people get pissed because they see aikido as impractical. i can see that but aikidos idea is to defend and attacking is impossible because you need an opponents punch or grab to use the techniques
Jätkä The Meikäpoika Then just don't look at it. Aikido has an aggresive form, is called Aikijutsu. Also, if you know that Aikido was made using sword moves you ussualy know why you are in an Aikido Dojo. Nobody gives a fuck that you want to do that or that using Aikido and it doesn't work. For me it works because i'm into swords. You can't be clueless about a martial art and say ''it doesn't work because I've been into Aikido 3 months''. Also a martial art doesn't pretend to show you all the possible moves or tehniques avaible in the world. A martial art is the basis of your own style. I'm into Aikido and I can attack. It's not neccesary that you give me your hand, I'll take it from you and do my tehniques. And I don't want to hear that bullshit ''you can't grab my hand because I'm a superfast MT champion''. In a fight everything is relative as fuck.
I think it's because most of the combat aspects are gone. aikido used to have striking. my dad used to know an aikido master who could pair strikes with his joint locks
Yep, I can't really see if this is Yoshinkan or Aikikai. I suspect the latter due the somewhat unauthentic attacks (or that might be fear of the uke to strike the sensei's head :) ) You should search for Joe Thambu sometime (Yoshinkan Aikido).
THE BASIS OF APPLIED CONTROL IS NOT ON FIGHT BUT ON LIFE THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF TECHNIQUES IS SELF LOVE IN POWER OF AIKIDO TO HURT THE OPPONENT IS TO INJURE YOURSELF TO NOT FIGHT AT ALL IS CALLED PEACE...
Excellent demonstration! I have to say that I practice Aikido, and these techniques absolute work exactly as he is doing them, the person being locked is not acting! For those of you who are skeptical of whether these techniques work in practice or self defense, i can tell you they are devastating, and if you don't go over your arm/wrist/shoulder will break/dislocate. If you think i'm lying find your nearest Aikido class and have a go, see how well you do resisting against the Sensei
This is a great self defence art from. This one time I was mugged at knife point, the guy FULLY COOPERATED and allowed me to preform a wrist lock and throw him. Aikido is great.
WOW, me too, one time this guy stood rock still and let me hit him with my crane stance karate kick and he went flying across the the street, Karate is cool!!!
Aikido is a self defence martial art, not for attacking. This art uses the opponent's force to redirect back to the opponent to overcome him. Suitable when your opponent is stronger than you or big in size. For old people who wants to defend himself, it is more suitable than Karate. Not much force needed.
Min Maung Maung it's also really great in small confined spaces like a bathroom stall, elevator, places where you can't really throw a good punch, which gives aikido the advantage. What's even more amazing is how anyone can do it, and with enough training and practice, someone like me who weighs only 160 pounds can throw a giant 280 pound beefcake like they're only 10-30 pounds. It's a beautiful style of martial arts.
No not true even MOREHIE O SENSIE DONT USED BRUTE FORCE TO PIN DOWN OPPONENT HE USES GOODNESS HE ALLOW BAD HAPPEN TO HIM AND REDIRECT THE ATTACK INTO HARMONY BY MEANS OF NOT FIGHTING AT ALL... THE TRUE WISDON IS SELF BRAVERY THE SELF BRAVERY IS SELF SAVRFICE IN THE POWER AND TRUST ON GOODNESS AND LOVE ❤
In an old Jet Li movie he was asked what the purpose of the martial arts? He replied, "To defeat your opponent" "Wrong!" He was told. "The purpose of the martial arts is to improve yourself. The best way to defeat your opponent is with a gun." The martial artist who is never called upon to use the arts for violence has succeeded.
Actually,the martial artists never called upon to use the arts for violence has no clue whatsoever whether what he/she is practicing is in any way effective. Hence full contact competition like boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, MMA, and other combat sports. Sure, they don't simulate a street-fight PERFECTLY, but they're a hell of a lot closer than doing forms and compliant drills excessively (as most TMA schools are wont to do). What's more, the people you fact on sparring and competition are often better fighters than the bums who try to attack you on the street. Or at least, this rule applies to combat sports like muay thai and judo - not so sure about a lot of the traditional martial arts styles and RBSD groups. And another thing - stop quoting movies. movies are entertainment, and are often very much divorced from reality. particularly so in the case of kung fu movies.
tom jeffords I knew perfectly well what you were saying. You are just a childish fool, who can't think up a retort to what I wrote. As a result, you resorted to claiming I didn't understand what you said. I understood perfectly well what you said. What you said is wrong.
Ryson Ominikara It's not that the martial artist is not to ever use the arts but that it is not their purpose. Self-improvement is. Sun Tzu (a pretty good fighting man) once said something along the lines of the greatest victory is the one won without a blow being struck. Is fighting, even if you are victorious something to brag about, to be proud of if you don't have right on your side? If it could have been avoided? If you spend life in the martial arts and never get in a fight, should you be ashamed? Is a jogger who never enters a race not a true runner? Is a weightlifter (like myself) who never enters a weight lifting contest (as I never have) not a true weightlifter?
This all works really well if you manage to figure out where the punch is comming from an if it is really strong and fast punch.. i train Japanese Jujutsu and we do simmilar stuff and they hurt and work amazingly IF you are able to capture..
I personally think that this teacher is not very respectfull towards his uke. Constantly making the locks and overstretchings of the joints very painfull is not my idea of proper teaching but merely a form of an overstretched ego.
Well, that might be the case big easy but: 1. There are only budoka's there and 2. He clearly is explaining a technique. Now I understand that sometimes there is a need to show the effectivenes of your techniques, after all I am a 3rd Dan teacher in Aikijutsu, but there is a limit to that, believe me.
Jan Kooijman not clear either way. not too sure myself. i guess every teacher is different. my school just closed down so i'm kind of screwed. was a good school too
A lot of people just slap Aikido into the beat up and brawl category and then diss it because its 'soft', ITS NOT!! If you wanna be try-hard tough boy and go round KO'ing everyone on the street go pretend to do MMA or something! I say 'pretend' as even a well trained MMA fighter has self respect and inner strength NOT to go smashing peeps heads into the side-walk. Its the same for Aikido. Its about defence and mental training. I know for a fact I feel a hell of a better knowing I could probably take most people down without being arrested and probably jailed for 5 years for manslaghter if that jerks head starts to bleed inside because of these hollow macho KO's. Leave that sit to Hollywood and silly drunks on drunks at You Tube guys.
+Nemo Smith When a child or an old man/woman paralyzes you with one of these techniques (which is entirely possible, because these techniques require almost no force), then you will understand the effectiveness of Aiki Do
Gonna tell you right now, if you're going to train aikido, get ready for being thrown around, pain in your arms and wrists. But after about 2 weeks your wrists and arms are going to really toughen up and falling down will feel like falling on a bed.
+Dom/\triX Can confirm that , lol. I've done it for about 1.5 weeks now and I have gotten used to the falling but not the pain in the arms/wrists. Still love it though. The funny thing about this martial art is that you barley have to use any energy when fighting against people as you are using their energy/momentum against them, well thats when you get a hang of the technique.
It's so sad that such many people misunderstand Aikido. There must be no wonder how great it is if you know how much Aikido skills make use of physics and human body's movements. To many people who underrate this footage, those students may seem to be falling or jumping on their own just for making the master's skills work for real. But, their moves are already techniques all to protect themselves. Also, any other forms of martial arts, as long as it's originally focused on self-defense, require you to first master how to protect yourself by practicing basic routines over and over. Just because the demonstration is not in real fight style doesn't mean the skills presented are useless.
THANK YOU. I try hard to explain this to people who don't understand, that one part of learning aikido is learning how to NOT GET HURT by it, and that's what you see in demonstrations and how we train. It makes it seem choreographed when in reality it's two halves of a whole, where if you only know one half you're not gonna feel too fantastic being on the receiving end. 😂
I took Aikido for 2 years in college and once you learn it you understand what they are doing in these demos. It looks choreographed and unreal but the basic moves are possible and can be applied to real self defense situations. This is really a great martial arts for people who think that they lack size and strength to defend themselves.
Yeah all school are basic princple of aikido but when reaches on top they easily go other way its NO PATH it means no values no true rules no trust no teaching to others...
I am not an aikido practitioner..but I can appreciate skill. I suspect he could kick the asses of most of the armchair bound critics commenting on here.
Hahahaha 😂 you also crazy borther check my comment you are so dissapoint on others you want to eager to buy a discount on wallmart you waited not aikido but on sale come to think of it dude VALUE MORAL VALUE RESPECT OVER CRITIC.
WARNING: Aikido is an excellent martial art applicable only to choreographed situations and demonstrations. For any other circumstances please use other martial art or just die without any resistance. For better results try to film the video with opponents extremely lighter than you and without any previous experience in martial arts or defense techniques. A previous agreement with your opponents about not fighting back is suggested. Additional advice is available at the closest Aikido school in your home town.
Edwin Cuadros Juarez Search on your dictionary the meaning of sarcasm, and then read my comment again. There is always someone with limitations, incapable to read between the lines.
'cause is a MARCIAL ART!!! please read more before comment

Aikido is much beyond the line of just an ordinary marterial arts. The reason they don't use Aikido in fights is that it could be extremely dangerous for those who don't know how to fall. You know Steven Seagal, he's an aikido master who was taught by Ueshiba Morihei, the founder of Aikido himself.
Thats a valid point. I train in Aikido, our school takes this realistic approach to training. We have multiple defense lines where you must apply technique to random attacks. This way of practicing teaches a lot about the techniques and how to get them to work in a un choreographed manner. We deal with a lot of joint locks that are very painful if resisted. When training in Aikido, you as the attacker must be aware that resisting too much will get something broken. Then nobody can train. :)
Hi Yoshinkanboy (I like your username), Thank you for taking the time and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube family. I hope you a nice day! =).
I think Aikido could be effective off of somebody grabbing you. Not so easy to grab somebody's wrist or hand in mid air when they're swinging at you full speed. and if they're a trained Fighter...forgot about trying to grab their wrist or hand, you won't even see the punch coming before you're knocked out.
I practice Aikido so I can hopefully explain this properly. We learn that when defending against a punch, you aren't grabbing for the wrist. That's impossible. You move quickly and grab their upper arm. From there as you turn you guide their arm downwards and, while maintaining connection and grip, move your hand down to the wrist. From there, they are off balance from having their arm swung behind him and forced to the ground by your own stance. Then you can step back and apply the kotegaeshi. Honestly, martial arts always talk about what'll happen in a real fight. In a real fight, there are so many variables there is no real way to say what will happen. The greatest martial art is adaptation
Germkiller42 i totally agree with you and i also pratice aikido and aikido is execellent because it calms the mind and i been doing aikido for 3 years now and i been told that if you where to do a move when someone grabs you is after you break the connection and grab their wrist their is a pressure point in the elbow and if you where to apply enough pressure to it you could damage it if you where to do that
Germkiller42 Do you do sparring sessions or have competitive fights in Aikido? I agree with you when you say you can never know what will happen in a real fight. That's why any martial art is useless unless you actually fight/spar with a considerable amount of resistance, in my opinion. You can be in for a big shock when you get into a real fight and find out your opponent won't allow you to get that arm lock that seemed so easy in the gym against a person who was allowing you to do it with little resistance.
randmnumber that would be the case if the people I practice with don't give resistance. In early training, there is little resistance so they can practice the movements fully and learn the flow of it. Once you get to higher ranks, there is no going easy. They resist a lot. And we do have something like that. It's called randori. 1 man vs. multiple men. In higher ranks, they are allowed to attack whichever way they choose. They can kick, grab, punch, elbow, bite etc. There is absolutely no resistance in a proper randori. Aikido when applied against someone with no training on taking ukemi is dangerous. That's why there are all the flips and rolls in Aikido. It's to protect the uke
you can say that YOU won't see the punch coming. martial arts are not just technique and some fitness. It's honing you reflexes, your action speed. Just shows me that you are nothing but puncher. As one who trained years in kararte and ikido, and now doing mui thai boxing year and probebly more, i can tell you that this stuff are also importand and ultra usable in combats.
I practiced Aikido years ago and neither did my sensei's or fellow sempai's ever "toss," or "humiliate me." They were helpful and encouraging and very patient with me.
+321puca a friend of mine was a semi-pro Judo practitioner but after that he got alot of injuries he started Aikido and he finds it a lot more enjoyable. I myself have been practicing since my tenth but now due to education I have stopped for a while going to any dojo. No doubt that I will pick it up when I have found some rhythm in my life again. And I found out that one of my new classmates father is a 7th dan aikido practitioner so yea talk about coincidence haha.
This video becomes real charade from the point when he starts to throw man with one hand. And when two and more start to hold this hand, you can really see that he really got no shame.
The point is to use the manipulation of your own body as well as the joints of others to 'throw' it's completely real you just need to understand how to do it
Increible como me gustaría aprender al menos unas técnicas no paro de mirar y admirar como se mantienen tan tranquilos en una situación de ataque. Es mas el nervioso es el otro jajaja
very hard to apply in real fight cause one of the hardest part to catch is the wrist. Usually you get to catch the forearms and arms but never the wrist.
templar you need to distract your opponent to grab the wrist. grabbing the wrist can happen just as fast as a punch to the face if you think about it. once the aiki practitioner has that wrist, it's game over. that's what atemi is for. some styles use it to injure, but most aikido styles use atemi for distraction
i studied kali i know how to distract but still its hard. I try to incorporate other martial arts technique. What I do sometimes if I missed catching it ill trap it by flexing my arm sort of a pincer grab then he'll try to counter it but what i'm really waiting for is he's counter etc.
Nobody said aikido it is easy, you need to practice so hard all the time, just after a lot of years you can move like that and remember that aikido it's not a offensive art, it's defensive because your looking for peace and stop the fight, not continue fighting, that one of the meanings of aikido: peace and be part of universe.
I have training in multiple styles (Jiujitsu, Aikido, Okinawan Karate, Ninjutsu, even some Kung Fu) and have found strengths and weaknesses in them all. This demo is okay in that he has a couple of decent take downs. People, its more about the martial artist and less about the art. It would be effective to use a solid kick from Karate to disable an attacker if you know how to use it, or it would be effective to use a strong hijiotoshi (elbow drop) from Aikido if you know how to use it; or to just choke them out Jiujitsu style...if you know how to use it. People get way too hung up on the specific art, and therefore miss the point. IMO get tools from them all and learn how to use them REALLY well. This demo showed a couple of useful techniques but as a demo not live combat. Take it for what it is and move on.
Any staged demonstration in many arts can look spectacular. On the street or war if it is not simple, it will not work. Basics of Aikikdo, Karate, Kung Fu,Judo, Boxing, Muay Thai, etc.. are great. Anything beyond basics will not serve most people in real combat. Not to mention there is no longevity in complexity of movement. If people want to train for life, it is healthier for the body to simplify.
Many comments saying "this is fake" "won't work in a real fight" man... if sensei really applies the movements with no intention of demonstration all of those guys would have broken bones for each movement they participated on... First take some classes then take a side, don't be stupid.
Id love to see Bj Penn or GSP knock this guy on his ass. Aikido is fucking dumb that joint lock shit don't work with a closed fist going 100 mph at your face.
The result would be even more dynamic. Aikido take the energy of the attacker and uses it against them in subtle, and not so subtle ways. The more energy, the more effective the art.
The biggest benefit of the art is not the physical advantages that it provides, but rather the awareness, and mental stability to avoid a situation to begin with. In the real world, an Aikido technique will never look as pretty as it does in the dojo. What it will do is provide you with the physical advantage (if you were unable to avoid the altercation) to defend yourself better than the average person.
This is what AIKIDO looks like,when people try to show it as another martial art. It's a demo,not a real fight,of course. But there is nothing in there,anyway. Bleah.
You al forget something. THIS IS A DEMO. Not a real fight. In a real fight these would be reaaally faster. I have been doing Krav Maga for almost 10 years now. I have encountered with an aikodo master before and it sucked. Couldn't do anything. This shit is intense...
The problem with they way they train their attacks is how unrealistic it is. Usually its one person running full tilt with their arms extended like a zombie, or catching a punching by the wrist and doing some complex move. Most people retract their fists(even someone untrained) and they'll be more punches than one coming or a knee to the stomach. An assault is not a pretty thing. Its vicious and you need to train that way.
***** Calling someone an imbecile is not a real rebuttal. It's something children do when they realize they are wrong, but have not other argument. Aikido is based of the marital arts practiced by the samurai in feudal Japan. Although the effectiveness is in question in the martial arts community, with a doubt an Aikido student is much more well prepared for combat than someone not trained in any martial art at all. "An oriental is an oriental" That's where your credibility fell apart, you revealed yourself to be an ignorant racist that just makes fun of the things he can't understand. Also, with that logic, how is England any different from Italy. Or how is Germany any different form France. They're all just European barbarians that believe the same nonsense and are such awful fighters they had to use guns to even make a name for themselves, right?
Careful Planning I'm practicing Aikido since two years, I have some problems with the knees, a bit fragile, but I talked about it with my instructor and he considers my problems. Never had a issue. Moreover, most of aikido practitioners are not that tough like in the video, so don't be scared :) aikido is a non-competitive martial art, where it's really important to enter in confidence with your opponent, and reach the end of the technique together in order not to harm anybody, it's the art of "no resistance". Just try, keep trying, and if you don't like a dojo because they take it too seriously (really a few) try another one.
Some people train to fight against other fighters for sport. There is a complete difference in fighting another fighter and having longevity against a trained fighter or learning self defense. Most attacks on the street last seconds and that's what people like you that comment and bash aikido don't realize. You have seconds to react to an attack. You're not in a cage testing a style. Aikido works in real life self defense. I imagine most people training to fight aren't out to kill other people so I don't assume I'll be attacked by an MMA fighter. If I'm attacked, it'd probably be by some hoodlum. Sport fighting and self defense are totally different. Stop the bashing it's apples and oranges.
Also I know there is soft and hard styles of aikido. Where I train it's hard style and I even know kill strikes if I have to use them. Self defense isn't anything like the movies.
in what fucking world would learning akido be preferential over knowing a legit martial art lmfao, if a boxer isnt in a fucking cage are they just gonna forget how to fight and defend? akido defence is a fucking joke hahahahaha omg
+Keith Woods Aikido works against people willingly giving up their limbs, and doesn't have sparring to test your skills in a live situation. Boxing+BJJ works against trained killers in the UFC. But yeah let's keep on pretending Aikido has something up its sleeve....
I have also studied silat and youre right aikido is very complementary. Effectiveness of any technique depends upon training many years and training with an intensity and mindset that this will save your life. This is why bouncers are tougher then black belts.
daniel vanson Your opinion is born of ignorance, therefore it is meaningless Go to any aikido dojo and challenge the Sensei/Sempai (if you have the balls, and if you have any martial arts training yourself - which, by your comments, I'm guessing you don't)....Then come back and comment on the effectiveness of aikido
koko40800 I used to work out with Master Chun Lee in rosemead calif. He teaches Hapkido which is very much like Aikido, I asked him one day about Aikido and he said he understood it. He used his heel to kick me on the leg one time, hit a pressure point and my leg went numb. He also showed me those wrist locks, they are very painful. It takes years of practice to learn this stuff, I'm no good at at. I practiced the Hapkido on sat. an optional class, during the week I did taekwondo.
It's a self defense art. Going into the ring is not practicing good self defense. Aikido, with its roots in sword arts, would bring a sword to the fist fight if it had to fight, in the name of good self defense. And it's fair enough -- sword techniques are actually trained as a part of the Aikido curriculum, not so with Muay Thai, BJJ, wrestling, Judo, standard Karate, etc. You can swing a sword and have it actually be an "Aikido technique" ...or are you the kind of person who would make the same comment about a Kendoka? :)
Although i have practiced many arts in martial arts and boxing and others AIKIDO IS MY FAVORITE ART because it is very effective when done correctly to the students what is one lesson a master AIkido would teach you that AIKIDO DOES NOT ATTACK IT ONLY DEFENDS therefore with there own style and these words if i was one of the students instructed by the expert AIKIDO FIGHTER to attack i would simply say no and i do not recommend you to attack me less i have to show you my defense but ye we need to practice so maybe? i may attack him if he instructs for education reasons as he can then teach
you can still attack as there are attacks in aikido. just need to maybe improvise and adapt is all. aiki-budo does this. there's a good dojo in my city.
this is the last time ans. questions here...I used to work out with Master Chun Lee in rosemead calif, he showed me these techniques. This stuff is for real, and he also hit a pressure point in my leg and my leg went numb and I couldn't move. I might add I've known him for 20 years and he's a real Korean master.
+Jacob Barats Not necessarily. One trains martial arts to improve his physical abilities. To improve his mindset. Or just because it's fun. And if you have fun, you'll always win :)
Agree with you rosg24... Such a pity, the more I look at this video, the sadder I am to see this pathetic so called "Shihan" showing so few respect for his partners, himself and true aikido shihan ...
Well guys i was really skeptic about akido till i began training , first 3 days you feel like you will never learn it and you actualy cant feel how powerfull is it , once you feel your body your balance and harmony also when u feel how much pain in 1 basic technique you feel i know it doesnt look so impersive and it look like they playing some game or its not real but once you feel the pain from 1 technique or make a 30 kg heavier men to kneel with 2 basic movements you will beleve ! And actualy i didnt wanted to train akido just beacuse i was imagining it in real fight ,tomorow is my 5th day i just bought my equipment , guys whoever want to train that art you need to beleve in the rituals it has the history of it the philosophy of it ! Aikido is martial art which is made to make your opponent give up from you to remove his aggresion to you and make him go away ,aikido will make you good person with clean spirit living in harmony with your body and soul dont compare it with aggresive martial arts like MMA boxing , kick box muay thai or etc. And 1 last thing , grabbing the wrist is the training edition you can use every technique in aikido with someone whos going to punch you in the face like a boxer for example you just need to be really skilled so you can see the incoming punch :) Whatever, there are people for all martial arts , aikido is for these guys who are not aggresive in their nature, if you are calm person you dont like to fight a lot but you want to have perfect self-defense, body and soul harmony , great balance and extremely flexible body go and sign in some aikido club ! :)
+Velizar Stefanov perfect, exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
Akido is a fascinating martial art with a very interesting philosophy, you become an expert in movement and locks and it’s as much as training the mind as the body. However as a form of self-defense it suffers from excluding the strikes and kicks of it origin Jujitsu.
Velizar Stefanov What style of aikido do you train and are you still training?
I'm assuming this is a troll
"grabbing the wrist is the training edition you can use every technique in aikido with someone whos going to punch you in the face like a boxer"
"but once you feel the pain from 1 technique or make a 30 kg heavier men to kneel with 2 basic movements you will beleve"
jesus dude if you're serious I hope you never get in a fight. You will get the shit knocked out of you.
Dude 😂😂😂😂
I was impressed by Sensei Mori's sense of humour, his humbleness and of course ,skill. What is immediately apparent is what a great time every one is having. I wish I was at that seminar.
I don't get why so many people are hating on some martial arts, especially Aikido...
One of my first senseis told us "The most important purpose of each and every martial art is not effectivity but to improve, learn and stop comparing you to anyone"
If your understanding of martial art is to learn some cool moves and skills to beat anyone then martial arts are not for you...
Every art has its up- and downsides but what angers me the most are people who never took a single matial art lesson and criticize things they know nothing about
It's because they are a bunch of ignoramuses who don't understand aikido (or budo in general) and are probably terrible martial artists themselves
No real martial artist would ever claim certain arts are 'fake'....Real martial artists see the value in different arts
***** You're a perfect example of what I'm talking about....Your posts are not only ignorant, they are illiterate
I can "assume" you aikido doesn't work in the street, or "assure"? I assure you, aikido served me very well on the street when I was attacked, and I was only 5th kyu at the time
***** didn't really got the point of your post but let me tell you something. I do not live in any kind of "manga world" nor am i brainwashed. I am a 26 year old medicine student from Graz (Austria). I practice martial arts since i am able to walk mainly because my father himself has his own kick-boxing training centre. I have black belts in aikikai aikido, judo and muay thai. I have also trained kick-boxing, brasilian jiu-jitsu and i had the pleasure to train pencack silat in indonesia for a good year. Of al this experiences i value my aikido training the most. Not only because of the self defense (wich is more effective than you can imagine) but because of the great amount of mental training and harmony. It seems to me like you are nothing more than an internet warrior with barely any knowledge of martial arts and literally no knowledge of the meaning of "budo"
Its sad to see people like you critisice arts you cant even understand but it really doesnt matter. Have a good life
DukeZodiac cheers my european friend (I'm Portuguese). Might I ask what style of Aikido did or do you practice? I Practice Takemusu myself.
Rui Almeida Hey there :)
I am practicing (as well as teaching) the Aikikai style. But i do have some experience of Iwama Ryu (Takemusu). In fact i did participate in several seminars of Paolo Corallini Shihan who is a 7th dan Aikikai AND Iwama Ryu teacher. May i ask what dojo you are training in?
To all that doubt aikido; I heard a true story once; The aikido master once traveled with a train with his teacher (even bigger master). And one drunk huge muscular guy was attacking and being all agresive to people on the train. And the student said to his teacher; "Now I will show you what I've learned." And prepared for fight. And a teacher calmly said back; "No, now you will learn again, watch me" And he stood up, went to the drunk guy and asked; Hy! what did you drink? It was probably good? And the drunk guy confused, replied; "Sake"! And the teacher said with a calm voice; "Oh Sake (rice wine)! I love Sake! Why don't we go off the train and I buy you some sake, we can drink together?" And the drunk guy calmed down and suddenly started to cry, saying; I'm really sorry, my wife left me, I don't know why I am like this, I'm really drunk...". And the aikido teacher hugged him, said that it's all ok, and everyone was fine. And then the teacher said to the student; "See - this is how you really use aikido!" (sorry, I shortened the story due to youtube comment lenght restrictions, but it's the true story).
You win every fight that you don't start
Matej Bukovec Amazing. I actually had a similar experience with the man who later became my teacher. Thanks for sharing :)
Matej Bukovec This story, while very nice. Can be applied to virtually any martial arts style. The idea is always to try and defuse the situation, to avoid the fight entirely. Physical defense is always the last resort, or it should be.
Joe Fuller Exactly!
Wodinn I agree off course, but I have also been training kickboxing and my teacher always wanted to fight someone, and when he did, he was bragging about it next day in the training. That's why I stopped training it. That is probably the main difference between "eastern" (judo, aikido, karate...) and "western" (boxing, kickboxing...) martial arts. In eastern they teach you respect towards yourself and you opponent and non agresivness in everyday life. , in western they only teach you how to fight. That's why I prefer eastern martial arts.
What if your opponent has no arms?
+Mellon Head impossilble
what if your opponent has no head
Legs dude
Then you run... as they are... invincible...
Diamond WHY THE HELL are you fighting someone with no arms?!
Being an individual in a wheelchair. This form of self defense technique is quite fascinating. For example. I can spin and rotate a shoulder around to manipulate the shoulder cuff for leverage. But I cannot, physically, spin my chair while pulling a man's arm, in the same direction. That is actually physically impossible in a wheelchair. However, I could rotate the arm, and with the opposite arm, spin away from the opponent. I'll have to keep studying different Akido techniques.
+Gottlieb M. I'd carry a Tazer, and pepper spray. But I won't carry a gun. I do not care for them. There are other, just as effective, none lethal ways of self defense. Such as the other two you mentioned.
+Gottlieb M. I agree
im sorry, but taser and pepperspray are useless. they can incapacitate your opponent for a few seconds or few dozen seconds, then what? you aren't going to run away in that time on wheelchair.
@@wilhelmu taser incapacitates your opponent for a bit more than a few seconds
Mm ! Interesting personal perspective !
Excelente instruccion
I always seen a person said in youtube comment about aikido like "try to grab a boxer fist" or "try to catch a boxer punch". .it is completely they dont know anything about Aikido. .i'm not a person who train aikido, or what you called as Aikidoka. .i learn a Muay Thai under my father instruction and has been in the ring over 35 times. .but my father has a friend who teach aikido and believe me, he really can pin lock you even when you used "high speed punch". .my father, me and one of my father student has taste it for ourself. .he not simply just catch the fist or a punch. .what he do is catch the elbow. .pull you for a little to off balance and take you down for his sub-mission. .what he told me is simple. .you can withdraw your fist so quickly, but your elbow is still there. .it is such a logic explanation to me. .his reaction is so fast. .it is not as slow or as dumb as it show in demo. .try it with any aikido teacher around you. .i think all of them has same reaction to real fight. .fast, brilliant, and deadly. .i have taste it myself. .he said, in real fight, it is just you, your technic and your brain. .
My father want to send me to learn Aikido from him. .it maybe in my another semester break. .it is honour to me if i can get to learn how to become more faster like him :)
Im sorry. I know this is 5 years ago but thats fake as fuck
Good for you... Aikido is fun if you have good teacher and classmate to learn from them in life and values on aikido...
Mori Shihan really shows the true nature of Aikido. His dynamic movement and unique style is a pleasure to watch.We particularly love his use of evading multiple punches / kicks and strikes and then executing the appropriate technique or movement to his Uke. Highest Regards to Mori Shihan and his Uke,s.
Well, great demonstration, but it's just a demonstration. Aikido techniques are used in military and police training, maybe not as such, but as added techniques with other Martial Arts. I served in the Legion as a Commando/ Sniper and learned some of these techniques there...and believe U me they do work, but mastering them takes a long time and lot of repetition.
I'm an old man now, but the great thing about Aikido is that U don't have to be extremely fit to be able to use these techniques. It's all about timing and balance.
I'm not here to argue, but someone said, that it doesn't work against a larger/heavier opponent. I'm 6'2 and in the legion days i weighted about 192 lbs, so have to say that these techniques do work. Does not matter if the opponent is 6'6 and weights 250...they will go down if one is faster and has knowledge about the technique, timing and balance.
Be Well, and argue with finesse and respect, Adjutant D'Aho.
Truly excellent. Thank you for uploading
I see a lot of interesting comments from people saying this isn't a real fight, etc. Very true. First off, I will list my experience so I can establish I know what I am talking about. 2nd degree black shotokan karate, black shito-ryu karate, brown judo, black jui-jitsu, master of kali-escima, training in gracie jui-jitsu with the american marines in Mayport, Florida and training in aikido when training in close protection/bodyguard work. I also have 20 yrs military experience, unarmed combat instructor and 5 overseas tours of duty. There is NO superior martial art, only superior men at applying their knowledge. Aikido demonstrations always look lame because they are done slow to prevent injuries. Aikido is taught in some form to the Secret Service members protecting the President so it must be effective don't you think? I have personally used joint locks to disarm people trying to hurt me with knives and on one occasion a very angry individual with an axe. Lots of armchair critics in here would do well to simply look at it for what it is, a demonstration.
Congratulations, Sir, on the most intelligent and informed comment on this page.
Sadly. most of the negative comments come from those who know nothing but don't listen because they think they know it all... and they don't listen.. so their ignorance is eternal.
WOW! YOU THINK YOU CAN BE MASTER FOR ALL YES U CAN BUT AVOID PENALTY OF TAX OF GOVT SOMETIMES FOLLOWING LAW IS THE ESSENCE OF PROTECTION TO SELF AND OTHERS A BODY IS MEANS OF KI ENERGY ENERGY MEANS YOU CAN CONTROL ANYTHING USED SPEHERE RATHER THAN FAIR SQUARE...
Heheh, at 4:20-ish, he seemed to have a lot of fun bringing the volunteer up and down, up and down. Look at that grin.
I used to work in prison with a guy in his late 40's who had practised Aikido most of his life. We were understaffed, and at one stage he was with 3 aggressive prisoners by himself. I was at the end of the hall running towards him and all I remember was those 3 guys flying in 3 different directions. They were half his age and he just flung them around like ragdolls when they tried to punch him and they stayed down. They couldnt land a punch on him. To all you haters, I have seen this work in a real fight.
bullshit
Lith3on lol
What movie did you see this in 😂😂
Bullshit. Video or it didn't happen.
Did they throw a punch and then not retract their arm until a technique was applied? Like what doesn't go on in real life? Imagine hardened criminals who leave their vitals open so one can render a technique? LMFAO!
I'll never get why so many people get pissed off about Aikido. If you don't like it just leave it dude.
you are right! got my lessons in aikidio and they were perfect!
Adramalech people get pissed because they see aikido as impractical. i can see that but aikidos idea is to defend and attacking is impossible because you need an opponents punch or grab to use the techniques
Jätkä The Meikäpoika
Then just don't look at it. Aikido has an aggresive form, is called Aikijutsu. Also, if you know that Aikido was made using sword moves you ussualy know why you are in an Aikido Dojo. Nobody gives a fuck that you want to do that or that using Aikido and it doesn't work. For me it works because i'm into swords. You can't be clueless about a martial art and say ''it doesn't work because I've been into Aikido 3 months''. Also a martial art doesn't pretend to show you all the possible moves or tehniques avaible in the world. A martial art is the basis of your own style. I'm into Aikido and I can attack. It's not neccesary that you give me your hand, I'll take it from you and do my tehniques. And I don't want to hear that bullshit ''you can't grab my hand because I'm a superfast MT champion''. In a fight everything is relative as fuck.
I think it's because most of the combat aspects are gone. aikido used to have striking. my dad used to know an aikido master who could pair strikes with his joint locks
Aikido is a brilliant martial art that utilizes the opponents momentum, footing and even weak muscles to take the opponents down,
This has to be one of the most effective Aikido demonstrations I've seen yet. Very good center control.
Yep, I can't really see if this is Yoshinkan or Aikikai. I suspect the latter due the somewhat unauthentic attacks (or that might be fear of the uke to strike the sensei's head :) ) You should search for Joe Thambu sometime (Yoshinkan Aikido).
hash brown Joe Thambu? I shall. Thanks.
Aikido vs street fighter :
Street fighter - Here have my arm.
Aikido - Thank you. Aplies a aikido technic.
6:31 this i can do ..
THE BASIS OF APPLIED CONTROL IS NOT ON FIGHT BUT ON LIFE THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF TECHNIQUES IS SELF LOVE IN POWER OF AIKIDO TO HURT THE OPPONENT IS TO INJURE YOURSELF TO NOT FIGHT AT ALL IS CALLED PEACE...
Incredible! Aikido works so well if you play along and let the guy do what he wants.
I've study Aikido for so many years and I never get tired of this demo so awesome!!
Excellent demonstration! I have to say that I practice Aikido, and these techniques absolute work exactly as he is doing them, the person being locked is not acting! For those of you who are skeptical of whether these techniques work in practice or self defense, i can tell you they are devastating, and if you don't go over your arm/wrist/shoulder will break/dislocate. If you think i'm lying find your nearest Aikido class and have a go, see how well you do resisting against the Sensei
This is a great self defence art from.
This one time I was mugged at knife point, the guy FULLY COOPERATED and allowed me to preform a wrist lock and throw him.
Aikido is great.
If people are interested in self-defense this is by far one of the worst martial arts to learn.
Then be good and strong enough to grab wrist and counter then don’t blame a art style for ur weakness
WOW, me too, one time this guy stood rock still and let me hit him with my crane stance karate kick and he went flying across the the street, Karate is cool!!!
Aikido is a self defence martial art, not for attacking. This art uses the opponent's force to redirect back to the opponent to overcome him. Suitable when your opponent is stronger than you or big in size. For old people who wants to defend himself, it is more suitable than Karate. Not much force needed.
Min Maung Maung it's also really great in small confined spaces like a bathroom stall, elevator, places where you can't really throw a good punch, which gives aikido the advantage. What's even more amazing is how anyone can do it, and with enough training and practice, someone like me who weighs only 160 pounds can throw a giant 280 pound beefcake like they're only 10-30 pounds. It's a beautiful style of martial arts.
No not true even MOREHIE O SENSIE DONT USED BRUTE FORCE TO PIN DOWN OPPONENT HE USES GOODNESS HE ALLOW BAD HAPPEN TO HIM AND REDIRECT THE ATTACK INTO HARMONY BY MEANS OF NOT FIGHTING AT ALL... THE TRUE WISDON IS SELF BRAVERY THE SELF BRAVERY IS SELF SAVRFICE IN THE POWER AND TRUST ON GOODNESS AND LOVE ❤
Those that dont understand how Aikido works should take it up, then you will understand how it works!!
Then you will understand that it doesn't work!
@@celebrity6781 lol
@@celebrity6781 then you clearly don't understand the purpose of Aikido
Who cares, master bate
@Sam another lovely example of “such” people, thank you
Beautiful technique and great spirit. This is what Aikido is all about!
In an old Jet Li movie he was asked what the purpose of the martial arts? He replied, "To defeat your opponent" "Wrong!" He was told. "The purpose of the martial arts is to improve yourself. The best way to defeat your opponent is with a gun." The martial artist who is never called upon to use the arts for violence has succeeded.
Actually,the martial artists never called upon to use the arts for violence has no clue whatsoever whether what he/she is practicing is in any way effective. Hence full contact competition like boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, MMA, and other combat sports.
Sure, they don't simulate a street-fight PERFECTLY, but they're a hell of a lot closer than doing forms and compliant drills excessively (as most TMA schools are wont to do).
What's more, the people you fact on sparring and competition are often better fighters than the bums who try to attack you on the street. Or at least, this rule applies to combat sports like muay thai and judo - not so sure about a lot of the traditional martial arts styles and RBSD groups.
And another thing - stop quoting movies. movies are entertainment, and are often very much divorced from reality. particularly so in the case of kung fu movies.
You sir, have no clue what I was saying.
tom jeffords I knew perfectly well what you were saying. You are just a childish fool, who can't think up a retort to what I wrote. As a result, you resorted to claiming I didn't understand what you said.
I understood perfectly well what you said. What you said is wrong.
Clown7916
but if the martial artist is never to use his fighting..why would it matter?
Ryson Ominikara It's not that the martial artist is not to ever use the arts but that it is not their purpose. Self-improvement is. Sun Tzu (a pretty good fighting man) once said something along the lines of the greatest victory is the one won without a blow being struck. Is fighting, even if you are victorious something to brag about, to be proud of if you don't have right on your side? If it could have been avoided? If you spend life in the martial arts and never get in a fight, should you be ashamed? Is a jogger who never enters a race not a true runner? Is a weightlifter (like myself) who never enters a weight lifting contest (as I never have) not a true weightlifter?

I can't get it to work I think they itches 1.0.6 :/
coz this shit aint logical XD
Pooltaucher rip english
Can verify.
Bug still exists.
I personally think that this teacher is not very respectfull towards his uke. Constantly making the locks and overstretchings of the joints very painfull is not my idea of proper teaching but merely a form of an overstretched ego.
Nah...he delayed the throws simply to demonstrate how with relaxed technique, one can control his opponent.
Abolutly agree with you ! Perhaps some time on a tatami !
i'm not saying you're not smart. just not a smart comment. it's a demonstration. he wants the world to see that aikido can hurt too. don't you think?
Well, that might be the case big easy but: 1. There are only budoka's there and 2. He clearly is explaining a technique.
Now I understand that sometimes there is a need to show the effectivenes of your techniques, after all I am a 3rd Dan teacher in Aikijutsu, but there is a limit to that, believe me.
Jan Kooijman not clear either way. not too sure myself. i guess every teacher is different. my school just closed down so i'm kind of screwed. was a good school too
A lot of people just slap Aikido into the beat up and brawl category and then diss it because its 'soft', ITS NOT!!
If you wanna be try-hard tough boy and go round KO'ing everyone on the street go pretend to do MMA or something! I say 'pretend' as even a well trained MMA fighter has self respect and inner strength NOT to go smashing peeps heads into the side-walk. Its the same for Aikido. Its about defence and mental training. I know for a fact I feel a hell of a better knowing I could probably take most people down without being arrested and probably jailed for 5 years for manslaghter if that jerks head starts to bleed inside because of these hollow macho KO's. Leave that sit to Hollywood and silly drunks on drunks at You Tube guys.
***** Yoshinkan Aikido, which is demonstrated here, is referred to as Hard Style, not soft.

I didnt mean that, I meant soft as in for pussys.

Tell that to the Japanese Police who are all schooled in Aikido before the ever go out on the street.

+Nemo Smith When a child or an old man/woman paralyzes you with one of these techniques (which is entirely possible, because these techniques require almost no force), then you will understand the effectiveness of Aiki Do
Fantastic demo! Thanks for uploading.
Very impressive. thanks for sharing
Gonna tell you right now, if you're going to train aikido, get ready for being thrown around, pain in your arms and wrists. But after about 2 weeks your wrists and arms are going to really toughen up and falling down will feel like falling on a bed.
in 1 month u can fall from 3 floors, will be like feather weight
***** Yes and you won't get only strong arms, you get strong legs too from the Ukemi Waza. You can easily avoid a really dangerous fall.
+Dom/\triX Can confirm that , lol. I've done it for about 1.5 weeks now and I have gotten used to the falling but not the pain in the arms/wrists. Still love it though. The funny thing about this martial art is that you barley have to use any energy when fighting against people as you are using their energy/momentum against them, well thats when you get a hang of the technique.
+Dom/\triX lmao falling down feels like a bed :D
BPS JØΨ Unfortunately yes. Aikido requires a lot of wrist manipulation.
It's so sad that such many people misunderstand Aikido. There must be no wonder how great it is if you know how much Aikido skills make use of physics and human body's movements. To many people who underrate this footage, those students may seem to be falling or jumping on their own just for making the master's skills work for real. But, their moves are already techniques all to protect themselves. Also, any other forms of martial arts, as long as it's originally focused on self-defense, require you to first master how to protect yourself by practicing basic routines over and over. Just because the demonstration is not in real fight style doesn't mean the skills presented are useless.
THANK YOU. I try hard to explain this to people who don't understand, that one part of learning aikido is learning how to NOT GET HURT by it, and that's what you see in demonstrations and how we train. It makes it seem choreographed when in reality it's two halves of a whole, where if you only know one half you're not gonna feel too fantastic being on the receiving end. 😂
lame. aikido sucks
Everyone thinks that Aikido is soft until they experience a joint lock first-hand. Trust me guys, it's the real deal.
I have jsut begun my Aikido journey and i have nothing but huge respect for people who are at this level.
ちょっと、ちょっと、先生。かっこよすぎやしませんか？
運動音痴なのになんか習いたくなっちゃいましたよ・・。
I took Aikido for 2 years in college and once you learn it you understand what they are doing in these demos. It looks choreographed and unreal but the basic moves are possible and can be applied to real self defense situations. This is really a great martial arts for people who think that they lack size and strength to defend themselves.
Yeah all school are basic princple of aikido but when reaches on top they easily go other way its NO PATH it means no values no true rules no trust no teaching to others...
Uke is either overreacting or mr. Shinan is being unprofessionaly rough.
I agree with you Sir Simon
Agree
I agree
well with the food step it looked kinda overacting tbh
Haereticus Sacrilegum men don't have there friends fake getting beat up to make themselves feel good
Sensei Mori Shihan teaches Aikido because is happy.
Aikido works great if the opponent is passive - even waits for being thrown or placed in a lock.
It's basically a Japanese version of WWE
A better version
But it's real
The Sloth King it is not real you have fallen into the trap
Logan Tetu LMAO if you think this is real i feel so bad for you

Hahahaha 😂 you also crazy borther check my comment you are so dissapoint on others you want to eager to buy a discount on wallmart you waited not aikido but on sale come to think of it dude VALUE MORAL VALUE RESPECT OVER CRITIC.
I like how he so calm doing this.
a lot of fake falling downs can be prevented if you just move y our feet to where you were falling, just to balance yourself.
A demonstration in how a real fight will never look like.
Maybe for someone as untalented and impatient as yourself.
june191970 What an intelligent answer.
Wasnt a fight at all. It was a demo.
It's a demonstration. It's not supposed to simulate real combat. It's supposed to break down the mechanics of the technique.
And galhest1 demonstrates how stupid a person can look when they leave a smartass comment on a subject they obviously no nothing about.
The walking dead anyone?
all life is precious...
Lol I came here cuz of walking dead
indeedly doodly!
Thats why I'm here

WARNING: Aikido is an excellent martial art applicable only to choreographed situations and demonstrations. For any other circumstances please use other martial art or just die without any resistance. For better results try to film the video with opponents extremely lighter than you and without any previous experience in martial arts or defense techniques. A previous agreement with your opponents about not fighting back is suggested. Additional advice is available at the closest Aikido school in your home town.
start reading what is a "marcial art"... "ART", then you can understand the aikido, is not a "choreographed situation" you are so wrong.
Edwin Cuadros Juarez Search on your dictionary the meaning of sarcasm, and then read my comment again. There is always someone with limitations, incapable to read between the lines.

You're just being like very other ass "if it's so good, why don't people use it in street fight/ MMA?".
'cause is a MARCIAL ART!!!
please read more before comment
Aikido is much beyond the line of just an ordinary marterial arts. The reason they don't use Aikido in fights is that it could be extremely dangerous for those who don't know how to fall.
You know Steven Seagal, he's an aikido master who was taught by Ueshiba Morihei, the founder of Aikido himself.
Thats a valid point. I train in Aikido, our school takes this realistic approach to training. We have multiple defense lines where you must apply technique to random attacks. This way of practicing teaches a lot about the techniques and how to get them to work in a un choreographed manner. We deal with a lot of joint locks that are very painful if resisted. When training in Aikido, you as the attacker must be aware that resisting too much will get something broken. Then nobody can train. :)
Hi Yoshinkanboy (I like your username),
Thank you for taking the time and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube family. I hope you a nice day! =).
I think Aikido could be effective off of somebody grabbing you. Not so easy to grab somebody's wrist or hand in mid air when they're swinging at you full speed. and if they're a trained Fighter...forgot about trying to grab their wrist or hand, you won't even see the punch coming before you're knocked out.
I practice Aikido so I can hopefully explain this properly. We learn that when defending against a punch, you aren't grabbing for the wrist. That's impossible. You move quickly and grab their upper arm. From there as you turn you guide their arm downwards and, while maintaining connection and grip, move your hand down to the wrist. From there, they are off balance from having their arm swung behind him and forced to the ground by your own stance. Then you can step back and apply the kotegaeshi.
Honestly, martial arts always talk about what'll happen in a real fight. In a real fight, there are so many variables there is no real way to say what will happen. The greatest martial art is adaptation
Germkiller42 i totally agree with you and i also pratice aikido and aikido is execellent because it calms the mind and i been doing aikido for 3 years now and i been told that if you where to do a move when someone grabs you is after you break the connection and grab their wrist their is a pressure point in the elbow and if you where to apply enough pressure to it you could damage it if you where to do that
Germkiller42 Do you do sparring sessions or have competitive fights in Aikido? I agree with you when you say you can never know what will happen in a real fight. That's why any martial art is useless unless you actually fight/spar with a considerable amount of resistance, in my opinion. You can be in for a big shock when you get into a real fight and find out your opponent won't allow you to get that arm lock that seemed so easy in the gym against a person who was allowing you to do it with little resistance.
randmnumber that would be the case if the people I practice with don't give resistance. In early training, there is little resistance so they can practice the movements fully and learn the flow of it. Once you get to higher ranks, there is no going easy. They resist a lot. And we do have something like that. It's called randori. 1 man vs. multiple men. In higher ranks, they are allowed to attack whichever way they choose. They can kick, grab, punch, elbow, bite etc. There is absolutely no resistance in a proper randori. Aikido when applied against someone with no training on taking ukemi is dangerous. That's why there are all the flips and rolls in Aikido. It's to protect the uke
you can say that YOU won't see the punch coming. martial arts are not just technique and some fitness. It's honing you reflexes, your action speed. Just shows me that you are nothing but puncher. As one who trained years in kararte and ikido, and now doing mui thai boxing year and probebly more, i can tell you that this stuff are also importand and ultra usable in combats.
When you have great actors as your uke
this guy is for real!
Imádom ezt a harcművészetet! :)
I practiced Aikido years ago and neither did my sensei's or fellow sempai's ever "toss," or "humiliate me." They were helpful and encouraging and very patient with me.
Aikido is pretty much like a more fluent krav maga with a main goal of avoiding killing your opponent.
I've done Judo for tens years and I've also been looking for another martial art to do alongside it. Looks like Morgan found it for me.
lmao
+321puca a friend of mine was a semi-pro Judo practitioner but after that he got alot of injuries he started Aikido and he finds it a lot more enjoyable. I myself have been practicing since my tenth but now due to education I have stopped for a while going to any dojo. No doubt that I will pick it up when I have found some rhythm in my life again. And I found out that one of my new classmates father is a 7th dan aikido practitioner so yea talk about coincidence haha.
Go learn Jiu Jitsu and kick boxing those pair nicely.
Are u guys being serious
This video becomes real charade from the point when he starts to throw man with one hand. And when two and more start to hold this hand, you can really see that he really got no shame.
+OneCoinArcade well it does say demonstration in the title. this is probably just what they do in practise just like any other type of training
The point is to use the manipulation of your own body as well as the joints of others to 'throw' it's completely real you just need to understand how to do it
Aikido is deadly against opponents who lunge at you with their arms stretched forward. It would be very effective against zombies.
This guy is fantastic!!
Increible como me gustaría aprender al menos unas técnicas no paro de mirar y admirar como se mantienen tan tranquilos en una situación de ataque. Es mas el nervioso es el otro jajaja
SO MANY EXPERTS IN HERE 😂😂😂😂
Ikr
I've only ever done BJJ. How would this guy go in a comp? Standing wrist locks are those throws he does are legal in bjj
very hard to apply in real fight cause one of the hardest part to catch is the wrist. Usually you get to catch the forearms and arms but never the wrist.
See discussion above with GenuinePuncher. Watch carefully and you'll see that he is not, indeed, 'catching the wrist'.
templar you need to distract your opponent to grab the wrist. grabbing the wrist can happen just as fast as a punch to the face if you think about it. once the aiki practitioner has that wrist, it's game over. that's what atemi is for. some styles use it to injure, but most aikido styles use atemi for distraction
i studied kali i know how to distract but still its hard. I try to incorporate other martial arts technique. What I do sometimes if I missed catching it ill trap it by flexing my arm sort of a pincer grab then he'll try to counter it but what i'm really waiting for is he's counter etc.
Nobody said aikido it is easy, you need to practice so hard all the time, just after a lot of years you can move like that and remember that aikido it's not a offensive art, it's defensive because your looking for peace and stop the fight, not continue fighting, that one of the meanings of aikido: peace and be part of universe.
Punch against the face is also one of the hardest things to do...
I have training in multiple styles (Jiujitsu, Aikido, Okinawan Karate, Ninjutsu, even some Kung Fu) and have found strengths and weaknesses in them all. This demo is okay in that he has a couple of decent take downs. People, its more about the martial artist and less about the art. It would be effective to use a solid kick from Karate to disable an attacker if you know how to use it, or it would be effective to use a strong hijiotoshi (elbow drop) from Aikido if you know how to use it; or to just choke them out Jiujitsu style...if you know how to use it. People get way too hung up on the specific art, and therefore miss the point. IMO get tools from them all and learn how to use them REALLY well. This demo showed a couple of useful techniques but as a demo not live combat. Take it for what it is and move on.
Any staged demonstration in many arts can look spectacular. On the street or war if it is not simple, it will not work. Basics of Aikikdo, Karate, Kung Fu,Judo, Boxing, Muay Thai, etc.. are great. Anything beyond basics will not serve most people in real combat. Not to mention there is no longevity in complexity of movement. If people want to train for life, it is healthier for the body to simplify.
This Aikidoka Master is by far the best I've seen. Aregato gosaimas.
Many comments saying "this is fake" "won't work in a real fight" man... if sensei really applies the movements with no intention of demonstration all of those guys would have broken bones for each movement they participated on...
First take some classes then take a side, don't be stupid.
Morgan brought me here...
Same here
Same here!
those are some nice dance moves but i wonder how good his sprawl is....
interesante,bellissimo!!
Demonstration only , ai kido doesnt work in real situations ! Just a beautiful art.
Aikido is useful until you need to fight
***** i know its useless
***** ok where can i find one? cuz id gladly say it
all i need to do is not give them my hand and do some fake flips and ill be fine
***** a fighting style with no strikes and only demonstrates flips that have the volunteer OFFER their hand everytime?
yeah sooooo dangerous
***** i know its total bullshit
***** tell me, which aikido master has won events in the ufc?
bet he can't stop a double leg
+datguy729 ask him and see what he says =)
+Dominik Doherty should I first ask super master sensei sempai don the third... Steven seagal?
Tyler Roberts in his prime sure but now he is just lazy
+Tyler Roberts bad day?
Id love to see Bj Penn or GSP knock this guy on his ass. Aikido is fucking dumb that joint lock shit don't work with a closed fist going 100 mph at your face.
I thought the idea was to stop when somebody is tapping out..
I've experienced that problem with Aikido too. BJJ guys are a lot better about that.
I would like to see this guy apply his techniques on someone who is trained and coming at him full speed.
The result would be even more dynamic. Aikido take the energy of the attacker and uses it against them in subtle, and not so subtle ways. The more energy, the more effective the art.
do you not think robert, that its more likely that someone who is trained wouldnt be attacking someone?
The biggest benefit of the art is not the physical advantages that it provides, but rather the awareness, and mental stability to avoid a situation to begin with. In the real world, an Aikido technique will never look as pretty as it does in the dojo. What it will do is provide you with the physical advantage (if you were unable to avoid the altercation) to defend yourself better than the average person.
immer wieder faszinierend anzuschauen!
This is what AIKIDO looks like,when people try to show it as another martial art.
It's a demo,not a real fight,of course. But there is nothing in there,anyway.
Bleah.
You al forget something. THIS IS A DEMO. Not a real fight. In a real fight these would be reaaally faster. I have been doing Krav Maga for almost 10 years now. I have encountered with an aikodo master before and it sucked. Couldn't do anything. This shit is intense...
And you're a lovely person. Take your pills honey and if you want an argument and if you're older then 16 you can message me...
Is this what RUclips turned into? What a shame...
very talented guy.. seemed he was a bit too aggressive on the attacker though..
The problem with they way they train their attacks is how unrealistic it is. Usually its one person running full tilt with their arms extended like a zombie, or catching a punching by the wrist and doing some complex move. Most people retract their fists(even someone untrained) and they'll be more punches than one coming or a knee to the stomach. An assault is not a pretty thing. Its vicious and you need to train that way.
EXCELENTE O ENSINAMENTO DAS TÉCNICAS DO AIKIDO...
A boxing fighter can knock you out faster than you can get there hand
Been thinking about trying aikido but... I have fragile wrists...
Careful Planning Through wrist movement type excercises during warm up your wrists will adapt.
***** Aikido is Japanese you ignorant fart
***** I get what you're saying... after all, every American is an ignorant fuck
***** Calling someone an imbecile is not a real rebuttal. It's something children do when they realize they are wrong, but have not other argument. Aikido is based of the marital arts practiced by the samurai in feudal Japan. Although the effectiveness is in question in the martial arts community, with a doubt an Aikido student is much more well prepared for combat than someone not trained in any martial art at all.
"An oriental is an oriental"
That's where your credibility fell apart, you revealed yourself to be an ignorant racist that just makes fun of the things he can't understand. Also, with that logic, how is England any different from Italy. Or how is Germany any different form France. They're all just European barbarians that believe the same nonsense and are such awful fighters they had to use guns to even make a name for themselves, right?
Careful Planning I'm practicing Aikido since two years, I have some problems with the knees, a bit fragile, but I talked about it with my instructor and he considers my problems. Never had a issue. Moreover, most of aikido practitioners are not that tough like in the video, so don't be scared :) aikido is a non-competitive martial art, where it's really important to enter in confidence with your opponent, and reach the end of the technique together in order not to harm anybody, it's the art of "no resistance".
Just try, keep trying, and if you don't like a dojo because they take it too seriously (really a few) try another one.
How about we see a boxer go up against this guy where it won't be rehearsed. This is like watching a soap episode
Some people train to fight against other fighters for sport. There is a complete difference in fighting another fighter and having longevity against a trained fighter or learning self defense. Most attacks on the street last seconds and that's what people like you that comment and bash aikido don't realize. You have seconds to react to an attack. You're not in a cage testing a style. Aikido works in real life self defense. I imagine most people training to fight aren't out to kill other people so I don't assume I'll be attacked by an MMA fighter. If I'm attacked, it'd probably be by some hoodlum. Sport fighting and self defense are totally different. Stop the bashing it's apples and oranges.
Also I know there is soft and hard styles of aikido. Where I train it's hard style and I even know kill strikes if I have to use them. Self defense isn't anything like the movies.
+Flyway seems like education is brainwash for you
in what fucking world would learning akido be preferential over knowing a legit martial art lmfao, if a boxer isnt in a fucking cage are they just gonna forget how to fight and defend? akido defence is a fucking joke hahahahaha omg
+Keith Woods Aikido works against people willingly giving up their limbs, and doesn't have sparring to test your skills in a live situation. Boxing+BJJ works against trained killers in the UFC. But yeah let's keep on pretending Aikido has something up its sleeve....
I have also studied silat and youre right aikido is very complementary. Effectiveness of any technique depends upon training many years and training with an intensity and mindset that this will save your life. This is why bouncers are tougher then black belts.
excelente video!!
me ha mostrado nuevas técnicas del aikido y sobre todo el poder del Ki como "esponja" de la fuerza física
FELICIDADES
he's using pressure points to disable him, I know this stuff looks fake but it's not. just take my word for it.
The skeptics always say aikido is fake, until they are on the receiving end of one of these techniques...Then they 'see the light'
daniel vanson Your opinion is born of ignorance, therefore it is meaningless
Go to any aikido dojo and challenge the Sensei/Sempai (if you have the balls, and if you have any martial arts training yourself - which, by your comments, I'm guessing you don't)....Then come back and comment on the effectiveness of aikido
koko40800 I used to work out with Master Chun Lee in rosemead calif. He teaches Hapkido which is very much like Aikido, I asked him one day about Aikido and he said he understood it. He used his heel to kick me on the leg one time, hit a pressure point and my leg went numb. He also showed me those wrist locks, they are very painful. It takes years of practice to learn this stuff, I'm no good at at. I practiced the Hapkido on sat. an optional class, during the week I did taekwondo.
This guy would be killed in an MMA fight unless he fought against opponents who will fly in the air with the wave of a hand.
i highly doubt this ... you must not realize how painful those joint locks are and how aikido works in general
It's a self defense art. Going into the ring is not practicing good self defense.
Aikido, with its roots in sword arts, would bring a sword to the fist fight if it had to fight, in the name of good self defense. And it's fair enough -- sword techniques are actually trained as a part of the Aikido curriculum, not so with Muay Thai, BJJ, wrestling, Judo, standard Karate, etc. You can swing a sword and have it actually be an "Aikido technique"
...or are you the kind of person who would make the same comment about a Kendoka? :)
The problem is people don't hand over their wrists.
You can't use swords in MMA.
But you do hand over your wrist when you attack.Aikido doesnt have to attack,is a self defence style
Although i have practiced many arts in martial arts and boxing and others AIKIDO IS MY FAVORITE ART because it is very effective when done correctly to the students what is one lesson a master AIkido would teach you that AIKIDO DOES NOT ATTACK IT ONLY DEFENDS therefore with there own style and these words if i was one of the students instructed by the expert AIKIDO FIGHTER to attack i would simply say no and i do not recommend you to attack me less i have to show you my defense but ye we need to practice so maybe? i may attack him if he instructs for education reasons as he can then teach
you can still attack as there are attacks in aikido. just need to maybe improvise and adapt is all. aiki-budo does this. there's a good dojo in my city.
This is very impressive and interesting to watch
this is the last time ans. questions here...I used to work out with Master Chun Lee in rosemead calif, he showed me these techniques. This stuff is for real, and he also hit a pressure point in my leg and my leg went numb and I couldn't move. I might add I've known him for 20 years and he's a real Korean master.
aikido is good
Good at making you laugh
good like a martial art
what is the point of "comparing" martial arts like get a life
+majestic waluigi you do a martial art to defend yourself, so people compare them to see which ones are the best to defend yourself.
+Jacob Barats Not necessarily. One trains martial arts to improve his physical abilities. To improve his mindset. Or just because it's fun.
And if you have fun, you'll always win :)
thats also true, its really just based on what your goals are.
I'll have to say there's no best nor worst martial arts. Because it's all you, what you prefer and how you utilize it and how you train.
Fake fake fake against blade and 2 or 4 guys !!
Ridiculous !!!
Agree with you rosg24... Such a pity, the more I look at this video, the sadder I am to see this pathetic so called "Shihan" showing so few respect for his partners, himself and true aikido shihan ...
i like this fighting style, because its like your saying to your opponent "nope! try again! nnnope!" its like your fuckin with them the whole time
as is this teacher. I have had many and Mori Sensei is one of the best!
