Aikido: an alternative education system for humanity? | Christophe Depaus | TEDxUBIWiltz

  • This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What is Aikido and how can it help us to find solutions to modern-world issues like radioactive waste management?
    In a surprisingly animated talk, Christophe Depaus gives us the chance to see aikido's spiritual pillars explained in action - on just a 12m² stage! - and how to build a bridge between two worlds that seemed incompatible before.
    Christophe Depaus is a mining engineer, philosopher of sciences, expert on nuclear international law and management of radioactive waste with a thirty years-long intensive Aikido training that brought him to reach the level of 5th dan at the young age of 37.
    His very different experiences reunited by a strong holistic approach allowed Christophe to develop his own vision of Aikido's application on education and society that he proposes in his dojo since 2006.
    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    I find it comforting that being an aikido pratitioner aligns with my values as a disciple of Jesus Christ!

      Well, Morihei talked about that in his book "The Heart of Aikido." I suggest you read it. It's very interesting. Morihei, by what i've read, was something like a saint.

    I have never thought of aikido as a martial art that directs against a partner, but one that you use with a partner as a teaching medium of instruction in civility.

    My aikido sensei once told me "aikido isn't what you do, it's how you do it." Which is of great comfort to me when I rememer how terrible I am at aikido.

    Watch close as he steps in to engage. Very direct and the first contact is a hidden strike! It stuns the opponent to throw them off. Then you throw them. But you always seem to engage them a half-step before they engage you. Basis of JKD, also.

    For the uninitiated: Ai-ki-do was a self-defense system originally devised primarily to address chaotic street violence where you might be attacked by multiple assailants.
    Think the attack scene in the beginning of World War Z.

    Is it fair to say that aikido isnt a martial art if its about "peace"?

    • @nathanielsolum3908
      @nathanielsolum3908 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No, because aikido is a way to meet conflict, but with the intention of reaching mutual understanding and peace. So you have to be equipped to handle situations where someone might attack you. Cause you don't solve a lot of situation by taking a punch to the face or a knife in the back. So by seeing the attacker and doing an appropriate response you can educate them to put it that way. So if someone attacks you by putting them on the ground you reach a position where you might be able to talk to them and show that you don't want to hurt them but you see them and you are willing to help them on the right path.
      But take it with a grain of salt cause this is only my interpretation.

    • @Zorlag

      И да и нет. Айкидо не работает против компактных атак и комбинаций. Однако я был на разных политических демонстрациях где люди начинали атаковать других людей, и там совершенно другая механика. Нет времени играть в игры, все двигаются, и люди себя кидают в атаку с настоящей энергией в надежде кому то голову снести. На меня несколько нападало, я использовал дефлекции из Айкидо, включая дефлекцию удара ногой. Один прямо на меня летел и потом ногой полетел прямо в пах. Я среагировал дефлекцией, продолжая его путь мимо меня, он хорошо пролетел и упал жопой на асфальт.
      В более раннем случае на меня бомж нападал. Как только руки пошли в боксёрскую стойку, я придавил дистанцию и взял его за кисть и локоть со стороны где он другой рукой бы не достал. Он рыпнулся и сам отлетел в сторону. Всякое бывает.

  • @eliolopez3107
    @eliolopez3107 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    With all due respect to the sensei, this is why a lot of people think Aikido is not a martial art. In the end, it's about fighting and should be practiced as such. It is not a kumbaya thing. If you don't know how to roll out of a technique, you will break an arm, wrist, or elbow. That's not exactly kumbaya. Train under Shibata sensei and then talk about kumbaya.

    • @stevenlyon4348

      Martial arts are like an iceberg. You only see the tip. The physical techniques. But a good deal of traditional martial arts are internally focused. Ueshiba Aikido is based upon Daito-ryu Aikijutsu which is a martial art born on the battle field. But even in Daito-ryu it teaches to reach center. Not only within yourself but also a mutual center with your opponent. The goal is take it to from a conflict to a conversation.

    the nikyo he does in the 4th minute doesn't feel loving to an untrained person. i don't no if this technique is the best for a public demonstration. of course the rolls and the throws in the rest of the demo will look and feel different too & he is a bit up, isn't he?

    • @enlightenone4284
      @enlightenone4284 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      but you can't tell how painful nikkyo is until you experience it.

    • @marcovanheugten1387
      @marcovanheugten1387 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      my point is that a nikyo shouldn't be painful: uke should be trained to move with it. outside the dojo and demo's law enforcement effectively uses the nikyo in arrest techniques on non-practitioners; i'm not really interested in any other 'proof', i'm interested in supple training techniques in the dojo and in ethics and doing what the mouth says ('love') in demonstrations.

    • @enlightenone4284
      @enlightenone4284 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ah, I see your point.

    • @zenmanproject
      @zenmanproject 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nikyo is misunderstood. Nikyo is designed to move Uke vertically downward. Sometimes it is important to move uke to protect them. As an example, if a third person is wildly swinging a bat and uke would get hurt, Nikyo, while painful, can allow nage to move them to protect them with little effort. Sankyo moves in rotational vector. Yonkyo a forward vector.

    • @JeremyMcMillan
      @JeremyMcMillan 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Having been some time since your earlier comment, has your opinion changed, or is it persistent? If you persist, could you offer a counter-demonstration within the same lecture context?

  • @qtpie2630

    avoiding the escalation of violence is better by teeping, you know people who want to kill you don't actually charge toward you with their wrist forward waiting to be thrown right?

  • @knottreel
    @knottreel 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm not really sure for the purpose of the demonstrations. Somehow doing choreographed moves with another Aikido partner doesn't seem like a good example for real life situations, whether as an allegorical lesson or a lesson in self defense.

    • @accaliastone9666
      @accaliastone9666 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      gooood. aikido isnt for self defense, not in the real world. every true sensei will say that. aikido has a whole 'nother philosophy.

  • @chrisvargas6857

    Instead of using aikido for his system as he sounds like a Frenchman perhaps savate is better for him???
    Aikido does not wrk maybe the joint locks after a clench or something but otherwise it's useless!!!Besides it only works on people who can't fight wth no training or unless someone is running towards them wth momentum👎
