I think I have watched this about 80 times already . Positioning , balance and timing are beautiful . You make it look easy , all those years of dedication and training . Well done shihan .
I'm glad techniques like this are getting more recognition as fitting in with aikido.
I love aikido i mean i have been practicing it since i was 12 and now am 18
And it really help me alot through my life aikido for ever
素晴らしいビデオありがとうございます。最近4級をとったので更に練習する気が出ました。来年まで初段を目指します。押忍！
Nice moves. I could see how aikido would blend well with other grappling arts. Id love to learn aikido from someone as skilled and technical as this sensei.
This is poetry. Beautiful understanding of energy and harmony.
InstaBlaster...
I like the practical sense of feeling your opponent energy instead of responding to it.
The best aikidoka I ever seen In my whole life.
Excellent! VERY GOOD!
I'm a prior Police Officer, Combat MP Veteran and getting on in my years (66 years old now)
Your video is showing what can help even older guys can do if we do right by our mind & body fitness & training.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm subbing your channel now.
Starting at 2:12: key is to step back in harmony with the pressure of the attacker, putting him off balance. Once he has lost balance, defender has many options. Very clear demonstration.
So can you find any video of the scenario that you describe playing out in real life?
If you can't, it's safe to say that this is training for something that doesn't happen.
People do grab in fights but they don't over extend and it's usually only after they have landed the first shot. When they do grab you, they grab high and it's not the grabbing hand that you should be worried about, it's what's coming from the other hand.
th-cam.com/video/lS37OgfVTis/w-d-xo.html
It is one the principles of all aikido techniques. Unbalance in fundamental.
@@baldieman64 if it has a video, it is probably not "real life". You simply won't find a video of a martial arts master using its knowledge in real life (and by real life I mean life and death situations) because they are clever than that. You can of course have a video of CCTV cameras in which people are fighting for real, but most likely they are not martial arts masters.
However, your comment is good to remind us that this kind of video is dangerous (as the own video shows at the end). PLEASE, don't think that you will know how to react to violence by watching this or by training some of these techniques in the tatami.
@@diegoaragao9404 I have more than a passing acquaintance with Aikido and while I'm not saying that the techniques of Aikido don't work (they do, and can be devastating), I will say that the training methodology is useless, rendering the techniques useless.
As for the idea that "masters" of Aikido, or any other martial can somehow miraculously transition into someone with invincible skills when threatened with real violence is laughable - as Yanagi Ryuken and pretty much everyone who has crossed hands with Xu Xiaodong have shown.
@@baldieman64 Maybe I didn't express myself clear enough. I am not saying that martial arts masters become somewhat invincible. I am just saying that they often won't need to use their technique in life and death situations. Masters don't do that. Just as an example: remember Mr. Miagyi in The Karate Kid: "To learn karate in order to don't have to use it". Only morons start to fight the world with a couple of techniques learned in the tatami and pretending to be "real and dangerous". These are not masters.
I am just saying what I have experienced. I never saw a real master teaching to its students "wow, learn this technique, i will make you invincible. I am invincible btw". People that I saw saying something like that were surely not masters, but pretenders.
About the Yanagi Ryuken videos, I didn't know him. Thanks for mentioning. I found his videos stupid and for me he seemed to be a "bullshit master" as it was stated in a video. A serious aikido school does not practice "no touch" while saying that it is a secret power to real violence situations. This does not make sense and anyone who does that is lying. In fact there exists "no touch" aikido, but it is a way of practice and not a fight.
Amazing! I can't stop watching this.
It's so interesting to watch how Aikido has continued to evolve from the original art of Osensei.
There are some moves in here that I would totally use in a Judo setting. This is the most practical Aikido I've ever seen.
Nobody is resisting. How can you tell?
Which moves?
@@hurricane8886 0:12 would work, because I've done it to someone for real, 0:20 would work because it's based on good body mechanics, 0:23 works, I've done it for real, 0:25 is yama arashi, a technique on the judo forbidden list, 0:43 works, 0:49 works, because I did it against a resisting opponent in rondori the other day, 1:00 works because that's soto makikomi, a high percentage maneuver, 1:04 works, because it's just O Soto Gake with head control.
@@WestcountryDude no one can resist to aikido. Unless you're aikidoka and trained more than him.
Sankaku jime...
もの凄い技をやっているんだけど清々しくて爽やかでカッコイイなぁ！
Great! Absolutely the best Aikidoka in the world!!!
That's subjective
Which must mean he is the least effective
I love your practical aggressive hard style Aikido. I've scene some of these techniques pre-covid from a bouncer buddy of mine who studied a "hybrid Aikido" for law enforcement. These techniques work great to neutralize a situation. I wish you had a school or system taught in the states. I'd love to learn it to add to my current skill set.
Also I think in the modern world of lawsuits etc an art like this is incredibly useful because you can alter the intensity level as required and it does level a lot of physical evidence like say multiple punches to the face does....
@@ZATennisFan unfortunately doesnt work in real life
L aïkido mélange avec les atemis et les coups de pieds du taekwondo itf fonction très bien j'ai eu l'occasion d'experimeter en combat libre contre des pratiquants de takewendo itf
全ての技が柔らかいし綺麗。凄すぎる😍
I Love AIKIDO. 👍👍👍👍👍
THANK YOU !!! 😀😀😀
FINALLY...someone knows how to do real life attack and defense!! I got tired of these attackers walking into the assault
Seeing Sensei perform his art is amazing. Communication to your oppenent thru rational movement rather than striking force is superb.
I love to watch this beautiful of poetry of Aikido how the master is throwing around the attackers like a logs to the ground:))))) Kudos for his awesome skills. I think I am in love with Aikido now ❤️🙏😊
Are you from Slovenia?
As a practitioner for many years of hard and soft martial arts, I can only say. You are wonderful, that’s marvelous. Many of this techniques are for real and can be used in any real world fight.
I love aikido I don't practice like I use to but my flow has never felt me. I'm still confident in getting off the line and throwing ukei respectfully.
احسن حركات واحسن اداء شكرا
The best moves and the best performance, thank you
Thank you for the lesson Master Shirakawa blessing be to you.
Nice video! You've brought back memories of when we were learning Aikido appropriately nineteen/ twenty years ago.
Nice demonstration on technique, I made it to 2nd degree black belt in Hapkido. One of best videos I've seen for Aikido. Your partners have train well,everyone looked awesome
ここまで極めたらすごいとしか言いようがない。
Очень красивый вид боевых искусств
The footwork is incredible and flows beautifully love this art.
AWESOME!!!!!! Respect from Brazil!!!!! 🇧🇷 🇯🇵🙏🏻❤️ 🥋
日本の武道は素晴らしいですので、日本に到着したらすぐに、私は合気道で空手と剣道を学び始めます！
Amazing guy - he did a whole presentation of very practical techniques yet almost ALL of them were new to me and I have had some considerable experience training under Sensi Sugano in the '70 in Australia. I think he's a Brilliant innovator.
Pode aprender um pouco dessa otima arte marcial, por cerca de 2 anos. Pena que tive que parar. 👍☝️👏🇧🇷
相手を傷つけず、ダウンさせるのではなく、降伏させるというスタンスは素晴らしい慈悲のある武術だと思う。変な日本語あったらごめんなさい。
使い勝手がいいよね。
殴らなくても制圧できるし。必要なら無力化もできる。
全く同感です！
Great workout Es Selâm 💙💚💛 thank you very much for tutorial video 👏
Aikido is nice when really get and that shows how to apply it in the streets and the dojo. Great control and discipline.
白川先生の身のこなし方が美しいですね､素晴らしいです❗️合気道､興味あります〜‼️
You are incredible, i watch you on instagram as well, your like the wind, so fluid. Thank You for posting.
一瞬で相手の力の方向を崩す反射速度が凄い。
見とれてしまいます。
Thank you for your technique. Its very good. I really love Aikido!
Me too love from India🇮🇳.
Keep the practical aikido coming...keeping it simple is truly the way...
@@Ema-nuel for this teacher this is pretty practical for his style he is usually more flowery and more of a dance but here he's trying to be more practical....I am more of a fan of Hiroshi Isoyama Aikido....
Loved it! Excellent execution of technique, excellent Uke!
I teach my son different techniques of aikido. Be it he ever gets into a confrontation. I love the heart of this art. To find balance
合気道はウサン臭い人も多いけど、この先生は実戦的で良いですな。
Aikido The Best !!
❤️🥇🥋🇯🇵
Absolutely you are great. I love your techniques
I love Aikido
Finally, some Aikido, moves that are effective in street combat . Good job!
When someone trys to kill you is a little bit more complicated. I really like Aikido, but I'd like to see some examples in a sparring with someone bigger and who can punch.
Great
I want to study aikido just so I can get to wear those cool pants
Our dream pants!
Very smooth and fluid. Years of dedication and perfection
Beautiful technique, relaxed and nonviolent (uke is not hurt) and no force is used. Also, timing and use of Atemi is perfect.
The opponent should be maimed or killed if they attack you.
Tf y. Do u know wat it is like to kill someone? Do you know how much of an effect it will have on you for the rest of your life?
@@jexpert7188 its the same feeling as crushing a bug.
@@JeffMcDuffie72MeridianGate may I recommend a therapist
@@jexpert7188 when a person is about to kill you or your girlfriend or wife etc you get back at me why they shouldn't be destroyed. Ending the enemy is the best thing you can do. If its in a real life or death scenario then you wont be thrown head first in prison. That's my message.
That confirmed Aikido is the best martial art, for street self defense. Art of peace. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱♥️🇯🇵🥋
Absolutely brilliant Aikido!!!
Very practical moves...just goes to say aikido techniques can be applied in situation like these.
発想力が素晴らしい。
It is hardly my place to give an evaluation about senseis. There are many, whom one can watch on TH-cam and of course meet in seminars worldwide. But from what I am looking for in Aikido, I really think you are the best Aikido sensei there is. Thank you for sharing this and inspire other practitioners. I hope to be able to train in one of your seminars in the future - apparently there is one planned in Berlin for May 2024. Maybe I am lucky... I kid you not, that would be a dream come true!
これ全部演武だから怪我させないようやってるけど、実戦だったらコンクリとかアスファルトに顔とか頭から叩きつけられるってことなんだよな。
関節も極めるんじゃなくてそのまま折るか、挫くか。
しかもこれに当て身技も加わるって考えたら五体満足では済まないよなぁ、やっぱり。
華麗で優しい柔の技しか見せてないけどそう考えたらやっぱり合気道は武術だよなぁってしみじみ思う。
相手もしっかり受け身取ってるから怪我なく綺麗に見えるけど実際は肘を何回折ってるのか分からないよね
Fantastic ! Pure skill applications.
There are a only a few Truely skilled Martial Artist out there. Never underestimate any Martial Arts if you have the Genuine Instructor you can make it work in todays time. Thank you
身体の構造を知り尽くしてる感じですね。
正に芸術！
白川先生いつ見てもすごい。うちの近くに道場あったら習いたいね。兎に角、すごいです。
Прелестно!!!)
Nice and excellent demonstration and application, the person never sees it coming, the more one resists the more pain they get or worse arm broken.
As a Krav Maga stylist I compliment your shirt and lapel grab defenses. They are fairly sound against a resisting opponent.🍻
I like this style
When will we see Shirakawa Sensei in a movie? It is so stylish!!
I feel like i become more inlove with this art hope i could practice this art this summer
He already is, it's called, "getting my ass killed in a real fight".
@@kenh.5903 i think you want to point the efficiency of aïkido. I have 3 of my friends that could use it, and 1 is blind (not joking). It realy depends on the situation, the level of the oponents... but honestly Shirakawa moves and techniques in a movie would be great to see. Best regards
@@phd3365 You can fool yourself if you will, but this has been proven again and again, whenever an aikido master fights a real fighter, and not a designated spotter, he fails miserably. Sorry to burst your bubble. Aikido is beautiful to watch, I agree on that, but this is not applicable to real life fights. The best way to analyze these kind of videos is not focusing on the master, but on the sparring. Watch how he moves and how he 'helps' the master to execute the technique. Totally unrealistic.
@@sergiotl7378 Hi Sergio, thank you for your comment. Don't worry, i don't fool myself about Aikido, i don't mind to convince anybody. I was just saying two different things : 1st - Shirakawa moves are very cool for a movie, like when you see stylized fight in some action movies. 2nd - I have said that aikido have been effective for 3 friends of mine in real trouble. One did Kotegaeshi (impossible tecnhique against knife but he broke the rist of one of the guys who tried to steal is suitcase ) One did Ikkyo against a drunk guy who tried to punch him, the last (the blind one) threw down, with Irimi-nage (the most ineffective technique of aikido) one of two guys who wanted to harass and eventualy rob him - So they leaved like cowards they were to annoy a blind old man. The efficiency of Aikido depends on multiples factors, like for all other martial in a real fight… (like the level of the oponents). At last, i think that Aikido is not the most effective martial art, Shirakawa has a very good sparring to emphasise his work, and most of the good fighter of mma, jujutsu… would kick asses of lots of Aikido masters. But also Aikido have historical foundations, used by the Kempetaï (japanese gestapo) for exemple, that was not to joke… and some techniques and principles can eventualy help if you have the opportunity to use it, even for real troubles… Best regards
Айкидо очень хорошие приёмы силы противника использует на него самого 🔆💕
素晴らしいです。尊敬してます！
I like this style of Aikido, it's a direct approach.
Ah ! Some really fluid and dynamic aïkido!
The exact reason I study aikido, I want to be this good in the future.
Thank you for sharing the video! I enjoy watching other martial arts.
Very nice to see a teacher perform the techniques with such grace and control, shows how aikido should look in action, but remember, these techniques are being applied with a compliant adversary, to help show successful submission by teacher, its, choreographed . would really like too see adversary who, is less compliant and has no knowing of plan. With that said, Much respect for teacher !! for showing a beautiful display of skill and competence. Thanks Much !!
Great technics Sensei well done! Keep up the good work and inspire us with all these nice videos!
Amazing techniques, very beautiful and fluent.
Keep in mind an attacker is different from an uke. He'll probably resist and use different attacks, probably no katatetori or shomenuchi.
Hermoso❣️ Especial para los que dicen que el aikido es solo una bonita danza! 🙂👍
El aikido sirve si lo añades con jujitsu 😎y muay Thai yo hago shaolin kempo
Just watching your aikido ,sir has made my practice 1000% better!
Que aula espetacular, nem o covid 19 escapa. Parabéns.
YOU´RE AMAZING SENSEI SHIRAKAWA. FOR ME, THE BEST.
Magnífico, gratidão.
You are amazing guys! Tanks for this video 👌 I'm a new subscruber now 😊💪🥋😎
I ❤ Japanese art allways wanted to do that.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing it with us all! Superb performance and style.
many of these techniques look practical .
..IMO. Many look cool. Notice there are no follow through from UKE. Noone with intent to harm just grabs.
A punch is coming a fraction of second later. That punch changes the dynamics of the situation.
Aikido is nice to know for it's circular movements and a few locks, but I'd go for MMA/Boxing.. this coming from a Taekwondo practitioner
@@animated000 not for all Aikido clubs today, but these Aikibudo techniques (predominant expression of Aiki in the 20s and 30s) practiced here will also be practiced with resistance and follow through. Is just that when its practiced with resistance and follow through, the techniques stop becoming singular ie you have to set it up and change midway. So a grab is normally a control or an unbalance, depending at which point you are able to react, dictates the technique. (Even in TKD, to teach distance etc, a set of techniques is launched on a 'hanging' attacker.)
These Aikibudo sets were the basis of Kano (having been impressed) sending students to Ueshiba and Tomiki developing a competitive Aikido and influencing Judo's Goshin-jutsu.
When I was learning Aikido years ago, when learning the Aikijutsu application, was different to modern Aikido in so much as emphasis in technique. There wasn't so much leading, circular movement tend to be inward (rather than the flowing outward movement that's become aikido trademark), arms brace in to the body to effect releases and manipulation, pins had a lot of kneeling on the neck etc etc. Because of the philosophy, a lot of these techniques were discarded or taught as a very small component of the whole.

While this is a demo against basic low threat simulated attacks or aggression, for those who think that such techniques wouldn't work, need to keep in mind a few things: the yielding and element of surprise the tori is using to respond (which is found in other arts besides Aikidõ), the good skill of ukemi that the uke is displaying (as these techniques would be more damaging on the average attacker that doesn't know how to fall properly), and lastly that both of them have slowed down the speed of the technique (and thus the momentum) for the purposes of this demo; and thus in real life things would be happening much faster, and odds are the attacker would be unconcious and suffering a few injuries.
And on a lasting note, for all the MMA fanatics who might put their opinion to this video or this art (as they do other effective self defense based arts) MMA is not the be all and end all of what is or isn't effective in martial arts as a whole. MMA is a sporting event and while it's practitioners are tremendous athletes, they are competing in a sport, which most of the time, is a very different set of goals than self defense. All martial arts, including what has become known as MMA, are capable of enriching the lives of their practitioners in ways that have very little to do with combat or fighting. That being said, martial arts geared towards self defense, the use of their tactics are done as a last resort, if the situation can't be diffused or escaped from; whereas MMA one can actually get penalized for not fighting or showing aggression. So it is never a good idea to criticize a system simply because it "seems" to lack what another system has, or it's goals differ from another system.
Well put sir.
My comment to you it's based on my life experience, you can take it as a gift or just simply be immature about it and get offended, the choise is entirely yours.
You expressed an opinion, which not necessarily reflect the truth. MMA it's a mixture of what you have in your arsenal and they made a sport out of it.
As far as real istuation well... you have not idea of what it means to be attack by people with the sole objective to hurt you! It's obvious, when I read your comment! I know what it feels like! I have jumped before and if you think that what you saw in this video will help you, or that you philosophical explanation has some truth; you are delusional.
You will get hurt! Not just that but when you convince others that this stuff will help them if they get jumped, you are lieing to them. Worst you could make them a target of some stupid bullies which thrive from the pain they cause o others. It's their remedy against insecurity and they never act alone or with someone of their own size.
PLEASE ! stop spreading your nonsense!!! I know I have been there!!! This stuff is beautiful, and should be kept alive and treasured as historical. But do not sell it as effective, it's not! Kick and punch few people so you can run away, that's effective!
Stay in denial. Hopefully u will not get into a real situation xD
Aikido is for low to mid level threat, it is design like that, unlike Judo and BJJ. But they are rooted to same art from Jujutsu a Samurai Martial Art.
While MMA is for mid to high threat, it is a system of combat not just for self defense but also for a fight to the death.
Both are good, but the chance from Daito Ryu or Aikido against weapon attacker have a higher probability to survive.
Neji Hyuuga if u truly think that, I think your chance to survive a person wielding a weapon trying to kill you will be Low.
I love this type of art very quick to shut someone down thanks can I learn this through your teacher
Cool as always 👏👏👏👏
Seems so natural and easy,,but we know how much work and practice is behind of all this ,
🙏 onegaishimasu
Is it that these videos are well made or what? I always enjoy watching this TH-cam channel
Always liked the defensive grace of Aikido. It's like a circular dance
Good night all my friends...very nice video..I liked 💜💜...my dedicated from Algeria😊✌✌
Outstanding! Realistic approach and flow!
Great. Thanks for this.
I feel sorry for these guys, you can see their pain but don't allow to show it. Beautiful Aikido btw, loves watching this channel.
So much love :-)
Cannot wait to train further... :-)
Good lockings .I love it.
Well, reality sets in when I watch him do that dive under the uke's legs, and I know - nope, can't do that now.
I fully understand the phrase "Youth is wasted on the young" now. Ah, the glory days, they pass you by!
Very good moves, best aikidoist I have seen so far.
