I'm impressed that how we can so easily control their strength only with flowing their power. Also I like the spinning one, I always spin to dodge a attack, but that's on a whole new level. I enjoy taking your lessons and be your student, keep the great work.

Yes you do get old. So sorry. There is a completely different life most of us are no prepared to go through. Old age...got its incredible and tough to explain benefits but takes guts to deal with. Old age is not for pansies! You can be the best your anatomy and physiology can be but it will be old no matter what. Grins.
Impressive! I am taking your lesson in Covid 19 locked down, so far so good. Encouraging my wife, kids and friend to take your lesson too! What I like is practice with philosophy.
Cool stuff! And the philosophy regarding the soup was awesome! 🤣 It reminded me of my instructor telling us to think of sparring like the true meaning of Christmas. It’s better to give than receive.
Thsnk you Sensei for sharing more great tips with your quirky analogies. I use those analogies to remember the lessons. I guess in self defense we go from "no soup for you" to here, have bowl on me! #beagiver Looking forward to the next in the series.
I try these in my shadow boxing. I tried the pillow thing!. But then my little cousins stumbled upon the weird sight of me going wild my pillow!😅. Thanks for sharing these ideas sensei 💪💪❤❤🙏🙏
In Japanese, the principle you are discussing here is Tai Sabaki. It literally means whole body positioning, but that doesn't do the concept justice. The core principle is that someone who is off balance is fighting momentum and gravity more than they can fight you, and someone with their left shoulder and hip facing you cannot attack you with the right side of their body and loses binocular vision of you. It is like dividing an opposing army and making one half idle. Gaining position behind an opponent makes him/her very weak and vulnerable. And the easiest way to gain superior position is in melee combat is to pull when pushed and push when pulled. More advanced methods incorporate pivoting and stepping to specific places (in relation to your attacker) with precise timing. One cannot truly get good at this stuff without sparring partners, as almost all of it is relational (if-then propositions). It literally takes years of diligent and intentional training to develop a good arsenal of about 6-8 tai sabaki combinations that work against about 75% of the things trained and untrained attackers are most likely to do when entering and exiting (collapsing or expanding the gap). But someone can master the push/pull concept in a few months of partner drills. And that alone will put you ahead of the self-defense curve.
A lot of Baguazhang in this video, I dig it. The is a TED talk on the etymology of the word "ole", I found enlightening. Watch it if you have an opportunity to, humans
Things I'd suggest in a self defense situation is don't bite you may get a deadly disease. Another one is ig you can run away especially from a knife. Last one fight a little on instinct what i mean is let your body do what its yoused to you practice throwing that punch or kick your body will fall into the move on its own in the full motion if you practiced iy correctly of course.
Hi sensei I was just wondering what would be more useful if you're being attacked, would you're first thought be to run or to see you're attackers weakness?
The other day a guy tried to strangle me but I "helped" him push my throat Im kinda dead now lmao Kidding aside, that for the advice, great wisdom as always
You know you're depressed when even the words of Ando can't get you out of the dumps. Oh well, 2nd of 3 sets of 20 min ab exercises coming up, hope that summons the happy chemicals.
@@AndoMierzwa no sir she had challenged me for an Kung Fu vs tawakando fight (I have practice: wusu Kung, boxing, kickboxing and some wusu take down and animal style). So what to do not to hit her but make her submitted withow throwing Punchs on her soft face😊😊😊
in Judo we say " control the head, control the body" I like what you are teaching here. Keep it up.
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
"it would be like someone asking for a taste of your soup and you throw the whole bowl up in their face. because you're a giver..." #Classic
Thanks for the comment, Jeffrey! :D

Excellent insights, sir. I hope everyone reads them. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome stuff !
Much appreciated, sir! Thank you!
Nice, very informative.

These videos are so helpful
I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you!
This is great
Thank you very much!
That's when Yip Man says"thank you for letting me win" after a sparring match...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Owesome
Thank you very much!
Great advice Sifu :)
be the storm... I like it... cloud up and rain all over.
Should've had a trumpet flourish when you whipped out that "cape." Ole indeed!
Right! But I couldn’t find a royalty free one!😄
A lot of Baguazhang in this video, I dig it. The is a TED talk on the etymology of the word "ole", I found enlightening. Watch it if you have an opportunity to, humans
Thanks for the TED tip... will check it out!
As always, practical advice given with wry humour.
I appreciate your support, sir!

Thanks for the advice, sir! Practice is definitely helpful! :)
I can't think on anything else than the soup thing
Thank you. Try it at lunch! :)
I see judo emphasis this concept a lot (push and pull) and I know few other martial arts that have this concept too.
Absolutely! It’s a must.
Hi sensei I was just wondering what would be more useful if you're being attacked, would you're first thought be to run or to see you're attackers weakness?
Every situation is different. But wherever you go, it’s a good habit to leave yourself an escape path and position yourself accordingly. 👍🏼
@@AndoMierzwa Okay thank you. So find an escape got it 😀
You are talking about TAI CHI 💕
Big fan! ☯️
👏👏👏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ahh yes I learned good tactics from this video
Thank you for the comment! Stay safe!
that is basically the principle of wing chun in my opinion
Truth is truth! Happy training!
Great, as usual Ando. P.S.: you mean a HURRICANE (not a Tornado) :-)
The other day a guy tried to strangle me but I "helped" him push my throat
Im kinda dead now lmao
Kidding aside, that for the advice, great wisdom as always
Thanks for the smile!
@Prometheus Trembli A smile usually helps everything. :)
Sounds a lot like tai chi fighting strategy.
Ole!
Ha! Thank you very much! :)
LOOK AT PROFILE :(
I like my profile. 😁
You know you're depressed when even the words of Ando can't get you out of the dumps. Oh well, 2nd of 3 sets of 20 min ab exercises coming up, hope that summons the happy chemicals.
Sain how to fight with a girl with in respect of her privacy indeed pleas..... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🙃
Pleas make a video on that
You mean in a class setting? Ask her what’s okay and what’s not.
@@AndoMierzwa no sir she had challenged me for an Kung Fu vs tawakando fight (I have practice: wusu Kung, boxing, kickboxing and some wusu take down and animal style). So what to do not to hit her but make her submitted withow throwing Punchs on her soft face😊😊😊
@@aboy_rana I don't know what to tell you... boy or girl, don't hurt anyone if you don't have to. My face is soft, too!
@@AndoMierzwa but it's an challenge to the kickboxers and Kung Fu
@@aboy_rana Then make peace.
Aikido simplified
Wisdom is wisdom. 👍🏼
Good and informative video, its a lot more interesting without all the puns and theatrics. You are carrying a tension though.
The tension is usually hunger. 😁
wtf is this. Just suck it up, turn off the vids and learn some actual martial arts like Jiu Jitsu, wrestling or boxing XD
Did you just watch a video and then say don't watch videos? :D Of course, I agree--I hope everyone will join a school!
