That's the first time one of these videos has acknowledged that the aggressor doesn't stand there like a limp lettuce. Very good.
Jiu Jitsu guy here...thx for the respect. Great video 🤙
I give u a 👍 but i don't like jut yitsut,,,I love Aikido and Craf Maga,,,anywey Thanks ALOT🙄👍👍👍👍
@@RAVEN-uj5zq I train Aikido and BJJ they actually work together really well.
@@lewisb85both are grappling and wrestling
I watched a couple of your video's and what you are showing is what I learned from aikido and jiu-jitsu as being the" most important ". Keep it simple, getting close to your opponent, keep moving, be realistic in fights. Thanks for giving credit to aikido. Lots of people here on youtube saying it doesnt work, haven't got a clue. Sometimes is just about learning the extended technique to be able to keep it simple.
Facts!
"Sometimes you have to run before you can walk" ;)
They should try telling Steven Segall Aikido “doesn’t work”.
"atemi is 90% of Aikido" is something O-Sensei said. So everyone who says a punch is not part of Aikido, must have missed something.
Its not about the art, its about how its taught
I had the blessing of a teacher that made us pressure test our techniques
I took a few Aikido classes when I was living in Massachusetts and there is an excellent Aikido master there. He had trained in Japan for 20 years. We actually did a lot of ground techniques. I guess it depends on the instructor.
What you actually do is to integrate other martial arts into aikido -that's why it works --love it.
Presure testing is a must, you're absolutely right --otherwise people have a real shock when shit really does hit the fan. If it doesn't work in the street don't teach it.
William Tomlinson it really doesnt, theres a reason aikido isnt a part of MMA anywhere in the world
I like how you are advancing aikido like the founder wanted.
kinda like ron L hubbard and Scientology huh?
Actually, Roy Dean incorporates aikido into his style successfully. There are some solid principles in aikido. They just need to be modified, pressure tested, and modified again as needed. That’s the path to perfection.
That's kinda non-sense... if you want a "harder" form of Aikido, just practice Aikijujitsu, which is the "true" form of Aikido, made for the battlefield... Aikido is a tuned-down educative version of Aikijujitsu (but still a good self-defense system though), just as Judo is a tuned-down educative version of Ju-Jitsu (by the way, Ju-Jitsu also derivates from Aikijujitsu).
Debiruman said it before I could put it down but yes, Aikido is derived from Daito-Ryo Aikijujitsu. Everything he's showing here has been done for the past thousand years by practitioners of the art. He's just relearning everything we already know.
@@Debiruman1666 Isn't Aiki-Jujitsu a school of Ju-Jitsu not a derivative, there's also Shodokan, literally "hard Aikido"
The first guy that passed by lowkey ignored them
The lady though "I put my money on him!" xD
Thanks. I didn't catch what she said. Funny
likewise, thanks
This is very practical and more realistic video compare to other practitioner performing their arts. He shares his knowledge with a heart.
I respect Aikido and have never been a huge fan. I have seen Aikido work in real fight situations and i have sen it go terribly south. But I like the way this guy thinks. He cares about applications and wants to evolve his art. Much respect, and thanks for sharing.
Great video! I'm so tired of people saying Aikido sucks and would never work! I totally agree its all in the way you train! Like if you're a boxer but you've only ever hit a punching bag then you're probably going to get your butt kicked in a real fight.
But here's the uncomfortable elephant in the room: Boxing doesn't encourage you to just hit the bag and never spar. Boxing has a culture that really encourages free sparring, live drilling, and active competition.
Aikido doesn't. That's what its progressive practitioners are uncomfortable admitting. Culturally, you're very, very unlikely to find a dojo where people are actively applying Aikido techniques on fully resisting opponents.
You will never see anyone training aikido realistically because they would seen discover that it doesn't work.
if you dont spar,youre not a boxer while aikidos entire system involves no sparring,what part of that is not obvious to you?If aikido was made effective ,it would look nothing like aikido,it would just be sport grappling.
I'm really with you here Azu. Thanks for sharing and evolving Aikido
wut??????
yo my favorite Aikido channel what's up
from these examples, he shows some aïkijujutsu techniques because he uses some strikes.
Aikido uses stikes. I agree though that his application is similar to aiki-jujutsu. That's because it is so linear. The misstakes that most experts make is that they don't instruct the importance of maneuvering. This is true with Azu; he overly relys on hand trapping because he is squaring off with his opponents. With true, well taught, well done aikido most of these things he is "teaching" interferes with the functional use of aikido.
Rokas! I knew you’d be lurking around the corner. :)
OG at 5:28 "Ain't none of my business, let me keep walking"
Facts! :D
Hitting someone with a rolled up newspaper? That's bad news!!
LOL
but at least not FAKE News ;)
A rolled up newspaper was an old street fighting trick that used to be used back in the day. Some martial arts actually still teach the use of it.
:D
yeah ... I did it with a newspaper roll, could be very good learning.
Best episode yet
Fantastic!
I'am Aikido Black belt and now I have Just started trainning BJJ here in Brazil.
Aikido is an art of breaking the balance of the oponent: learning new technics and martial arts is Very important to amplify our chances in a real fight.
TKS guys!
Congratulations for The video.
Fabio
Aikido do have attacks, like short hitting on the face of the opponent like the Gwa Chui 掛捶
of Gungfu or Sui Fist 水形 of Xingyi.
Again, I'd say Aikido is based on peace philosophy. Your techniques may be better and improved, while aikido people hurt the opponents less. Yes, as you said, it's beautiful----and more human !
I practiced and taught aikido for 24 years both in the US and Japan. Great channel. Most of the TH-cam channels demonstrating that aikido doesn’t work fail the fundamentals of aikido the moment they come under pressure. If you find yourself desperately trying to “perform” a technique, you will very likely fail.
Atemi, positional advantage, and flow are all key.
I am 65 yrs old and have been training since i was 15.studying Boxing, Wing Chun and TKD over the years. I believe its often more about the man than the art. I certainly would not criticise an art i have not studied like Aikido, only after trying it. A ninth Dan TKD i trained with for some time told me that all martial arts are 90% the same at core, relaxation and breathing, the other 10% is the different techniques the individual arts teach. I was not sure what he meant at the time, I am now.
great comment, I have very limited martial arts background but the main thing I have learned is that at the core they share much. what works, works, so most if not all styles have similarities, and even if technique is very different , maybe one uses more circular motion another more direct straight lines, they are ALL using the same principles, they just apply them in different ways/contexts, but they all use fulcrums, they all focus power with the same principles of physics at their core. In fact I would say almost ANY physical discipline shares aspects combat or not, balance is essential, footwork is essential, timing is essential, knowing movements to the point of fluidity is essential so that thinking and acting are done at the same time. Each Martial art has been developed in the context of its surroundings, and is very valid in that context, some have wider context than others but they all have value. The practitioner is key as is the training and preparation over style
@@jacksmith4460 Quite so!
My thoughts exactly! My training included real atemi (including many specialized striking techniques I've been doing a series about on my channel) but we did not include much newaza (ground techniques)
I've learned that aikido once *did* include newaza, just as it did real strikes (atemi waza) and I'm looking to get into some of that next on my channel, once I've finished with the atemi and fundamentals series that is.
Thanks for being one of the few showing aikido as it *should* be 🥋☯️🙏
Welcome back, Azu. Thank you for the demonstration, I'll share this video with the members in our dojo. We have to keep in mind these mistakes and do more pressure tests.
Outstanding! As a BJJ black belt, I appreciate the nod and the realization that pressure testing is #1.
Very well done!
Thank you! With your ideas Aikido has a future as a martial art.
THIS^
Love your content! I studied aikido as a child in Japan and loved it! I earned my blue belt but we moved and to Crete, Greece and there was nothing like that on the Island I had access to. I think a lot of times Aikido TH-camrs don't show the strikes is the add the Mystique to the techniques. Kind of like not putting all your cards on the table. That's just my two cents. Keep creating great content. You guys rock!
One of the best videos of Aikidoflow. Really liked the examples. To adapt without losing the core teachings of aikido is one the most challenging deeds. Keep up the good work.
You are definitely on the right track, keep the good work and good practice.
Why is everybody keep forgetting that Aikido has been developed by a master of a number of martial arts as a pinnacle of his achievement. The point to truly understanding Aikido techniques is to do other martial arts along side with Aikido
So completely onto it...everything you are saying and demonstrating is completely realistic and practical.
Finally someone who shares my philosophy! For me it’s Hapkido but I try to make these exact points to my students. They think I am crazy when I say all the fancy joint locks without strike training and ground fighting is completely useless. They say, then why teach Hapkido? I will just refer them to this video next time I get that question! Good stuff!!
Thank you Azu for all these videos. Hopefully the internet warriors will now stop regurgitating the propaganda that "Aikido is useless". Respect from a Shuai Jiao teacher.
Dude, u make a lot of sense. I have trained in wing chun, judo, kempo, and a bit of wrestling. Power is always a factor, and gross motor skills go out the window. When adrenaline is flowing, it’s best to stick to uncomplicated, simple moves, and bursting into the block, and counter. Most people fight the same way, first it’s intimidation, then pushing, then eithor a grab, or a punch to the head. And then it’s a power struggle, and usually it goes to the ground. Resistance always comes with a price. Yes using there weight and momentum against them is key, in some situations, but I have ended fights with certain blocks, that are aimed at pressure points in the wrist, and forearm. The harder they swing, the more they hurt them self’s when I connect with my block. But every fight is different. And never underestimate your opponent. Ive always held the highest respect for aikido, an always found it to be a very beautiful art form. Wouldn’t mind learning some. I have a bit of a bastard style, and like it that way. The best from every art, and am always open to new techniques. Love ur channel. Great vids, much respect.
AZU, Thankyou.. that is real life reality.! I've been kicked in the stomach twice in my life,so i appreciate learning to side step kicks😅 and what to follow up with👍.I just found you & I'm binge watching your videos 642am (est) since 2 hrs ago. Love the realness and humor you bring to your teaching/videos💚. Now almost 55, 4'11 and 235lb female, I'd love to learn how to prepare myself for this world change to protect myself, my husband and my home... But I can't afford training and my mind says I'm too out of shape for it anyway. THOUGH I'm still a fighter and a tad spunky so I am going to practice a few of your great -quick get away techniques with my husband to at least have something. Thanks so much for sharing your talented tips in videos with us here in Maryland, usa. 🙏🏿👍🙋🏾♀️
The best and true Aiki Do instructor!!!!Tanks for this video!!!!!
The founder of Aikido always said "Aikido is Irimi and Atemi" (entering and striking)
I really respect youre channel, vibe and passion on Akido even though am not a fan of it due to how many bad demos are out there. Great points brother.
aiki-jiu jitsu right there. love it. thank you for sharing this.
What you're saying and demonstrating is SO TRUE! I've trained in multiple styles of martial arts, but I'm not a black belt in any. I was interested in the fitness and self defense benefits of the arts. So I've learned that you can always improve, and you're likely to get hurt sometimes.
Man, you are absolutely right and I love your videos as a Budo practitioner and teacher in Spain (Aikido, Kyusho Jutsu and Ryushin Shouchi Ryu Ken Jutsu and Iai Jutsu). Maybe not everybody should teach or make videos, thats the problem. Greetings from Spain and thank you very much for your great job exposing Aikido with decency and proudness.
Love the "3 strikes for the price of 1".....your wonderful accent makes me miss London and "The Continent". Very curious what the lady with dog said that made you chuckle. What I think you are saying is that there are the martial arts in the gym and then, well; there's brawling in the street.
You got a great energy and happy attitude with your training.... like it !
This is a very interesting point Aikidoflow makes and has really got me thinking. When I was a kid in eastern Hokkaido (in 1991) I was lucky enough to end up being taught Daitouryu Aikitaijutsu by Sano-sensei with the at the time very small remaining band of men practicing at the time (now regrouping well). Sano-sensei constantly encouraged the use of Atemi. He used light body blows, presumably to reduce the risk of hand and foot injuries (and the chances of ending up in a court of law or with a greater number of enemies seeking vengeance for an injured or killed friend). He used the hand as either a palm, blade, Karate-style fist, a fist with index second knuckle protruding (to induce pain rather than cause damage), the back of the hand across the eyes (preemptively), the top surface of the foot (slapped to the groin or ear) and the elbow (into the back and sometimes lightly into the face). An example would be (in the video around 10:03) after he came around under the other bloke's arm and had some space on his outside, Sano-sensei would always place an atemi into the base of the lower trapezius where the curve of the ribs is greater. My Japanese at the time was not good enough to understand his explanation, but he said it had been done like that for a long time (something about not using a blow before then so that the other bloke is taken offguard and isn't bracing - and so it hurts and shocks). Daitoryu is basically a traditional combative form of aikido descending from the mixed budo of Takeda Shingen (including proper swordplay and other arts). It existed in a time of chivalry and traditional weapons and expectations, and so atemi were often used as far as I can see to shock/teach/ensure respect and to soften them up before a lock, rather than to devastate or main. But In the dojo I went to there were exceptions. Sano-sensei always taught the use of a vertical elbow strike into the back/neck/kidneys with a downed opponent who had been recalcitrant or was strong. A downward full force chopping strike to the back of the neck on an opponent face down on the ground always seemed surprising to me, but he advocated it. I asked the dojo's resident judo-therapist (bonesetter) if it would have any effect and he mentioned targeting vertebrae (I still don't really understand, but the idea may have been to land on a joint (rather than between joints) so as to displace it. It seemed that Sano-sensei had a range of atemi for different purposes - proportional force. These days, with every second punk doing MMA style training, taking steroids or using methamphetamine, stronger atemi, as Aikidoflow shows us, seem to be the order of the day. Pure Aikikai style practitioners may not want to take on this approach as their aim is less about street self-defence than other goals. Daitoryu and other more practical ryuha would, I think,see Aikidoflow's suggestions as suitable for current applications. It's an indictment of the age but there it is (there is no honour in street fights today). It might be prudent to use atemi as proportional force, choosing to shock but not maim only where the other bloke seems sensible enough to get the message to stop or face major injury if he persists (this protects you from being sued or convicted of using disproportionate force once they find you do martial arts). If he is in the state of mind in which he would drop you then stomp your head, or if there are a bunch of them, or if weapons are involved, going full force with each atemi would be the only way to walk out alive without creating enemies you otherwise would not. have.
I have no experience of aikido. I have from streetfights krav maga kick boxing muay thai and karate as a kid. But i totally agree with everything you said bro. Keep it up! Nice video. And first time i saw an aidido version that i believed that it have a chance on the streets with any agresive attacker
You fight like you train ..love you guys :)
I love watching you,,you make so much sense ,,your techniques are awsome,,thx
aikido is a martial art, and it works just fine if you apply it as intended. great approach getting rid of the weaknesses (that every martial art has).
Greeting from Vietnam. I'm inspired by your enthusiasm as always (except for the time when you said you were leaving Aikido). These aspects you mentioned are often overlooked in Aikido nowadays (atemi, dealing with combined attacks etc). Sadly it is exactly these things that keep Aikido from being a dancing art. Keep up the good work!
1. Never train with wrist grabs in Aikido 2. Don't wait for the punch kick etc, move in quick and attack 3. Move of line to the dead size of the uke's attack, apply the technique and open hips and throw 4. Always use a strike 5. Never allow uke to get so continue the attack before he can get of the floor 6. Never train to fall over. Can't do the technique? Then do it so you can 7. Don't train Aikido to fight? Go to a tail chi class. After 6 years and a Shodan those are my two pence worth.
Realistic Aikido, respect.
GOOD JOB GUYS, I APPRECIATE IT!!I LOVE LEARNING ABOUT AIKIDO!! ALL GOOD PRACTICAL STUFF!!
Azu, I like how you improvise and take it one step further, I worry about if I am ever in a situation on the ground, I see these guys in situations getting attacked kidded in the face and all over when they are on the ground, it a very vulnerable place to be your so right need to know what to do in that situation and when to do it! Thanks and excellent video!
The most important fundamental with ground work is to not do the natural but in reality very silly thing of turning onto your belly to get your face away from an opponent just because you are being kicked/punched in the face.
It is a natural instinct but bad for so many reasons. Basically no defence you can do when belly-down. And the back of your head/spine is more vulnerable than your face/ribs.
Now you’re talking! This I’m sure it’ll work cause you’re not hoping to catch a full speed blow and hope the guy isn’t going to resist. You’re actually striking, doing atemi, so the guy is distracted or hurt and you can grab the opponent’s arm and apply the lock. Good demonstration, I liked it.
right on man, agree completely, have to keep it real and evolve the art.
For beginner aikidoka, who just want to grab the basic techniques, no pressure, full compliance of the opponent and no additional strikes (atemi) will really help. But after learning basics, you definitely need to try them in a more challenging and realistic settings to adjust and improve them, or learn additional techniques which will really work for you.
U are 1000% absolutely right in all 5 points! I'll testing BJJ this week and I'm shure it will help me improofe myself.
Man, I wish you live near me in the states I would love to train with you! Just by your knowledge and passion I knew you're the right trainer for me! It seems everything you said echoes the same sentiments that Bruce Lee had preached from 50+ years ago! This is a mark of a true learned martial artist, the more he knows the more similar his conclusion is to Bruce Lee!
really love the message here. Thanks for sharing!! As a starting aikido student I've noticed these things. That's why I'm looking at other martial arts like taekwondo and kickboxing to augment my abilities. Can you do an episode about other martial arts and what you have looked at to augment/completes your skills?
Great video! I agree 100% with your closing statements. I've trained in Aikido, Jiu-Jitsu and Kempo Karate, and I've mixed then in when I'm doing different techniques. I'm glad you guys think the same way I do @aikidoflow.
What a mature and measured approach to self defence , i like the presentation , i like your attitude and your presentation style . Your point on pressure testing is so true , if you do not experience the power and discomfort of really being attacked , how can you hope to defend yourself in the real world .... i think your video’s are great ...
Thank you for the AIKIDO techniques explanation,I am much appreciated
Even though I don't practice Aikido, I have taken part in some Aikido classes and practiced with Aikidoka. I am glad that this instructor was able to take a good, honest, introspective look at his art and share his insight with the martial arts community. There are still too many instructors and practitioners who can't (or won't) do this. This is what helped Bruce Lee to evolve as a martial artist: he was able to see the limitations of Wing Chun and other martial arts and make use of what was useful to him. For years I have questioned the practice of self defense techniques that involved executing one punch or strike and then leaving one's arm extended although no one in his or her right mind would do this in a real situation unless he or she were drunk, high, or stupid.
common-sense-self-defense Bruce Lee loved Krishnamurti. And Krishnamurti always said to be yourself. To don't accept outter authority if you could see that it was pointless. And be totally free. Because schools of thought, philosophies, religions, etc as soon as they become fixed they are dead and not really alive.
I agree, I really do appreciate this video Martial Arts is a family tradition, but its a dangerous world out their, and its good to know how to be prepared, just in case their is an assailiant. I was study Taekwondo, but was put into a real life situation and now Muay Thai Hapkido! Thank you for showing us your techniques! I look forward to seeing more!
I'm an OLD Yoshinkan from the US Midwest who has practiced in DECADES...
I'd be interested to hear more about how British Law defines:
assault and/or battery
Serious bodily injury
Terrific video! I left Aikido for these very reasons. When the training is all about staying true to Aikido the Art, we are not training to prepare for real life encounters. We were never trained to hit, to block, to move in any other way than traditional Aikido movements based on traditional aikido strikes. Totally useless on the street. Thank you for your video.
Respect said very eloquently! I agree with you 100% what ever Art you practice it must be a living thing evolving, developing, adapting, times change and we as martial artists, must adapt to our environment to make our Arts realistic and keep them alive for future generations! I am a big Aikido flow fan it's nice to see some realistic positive and inspirational skills being practiced and taught ! Keep doing what you're doing! Thanks
I see Aikido as a joke. But this take on it actually evolves and makes it more legit. No one is going stand around and allow you to hit them three times like that. But I will say with the right practice in real time it can become quite effective i imagine.
I think that this is a great art for the work that I do. I work in a psychiatric hospital and in an emergency department of another hospital so I am not trying to hurt any of the patients but I am trying to save myself from injuries and take a person down only if I need to do so. This art is great for that.
You just nailed it.
Those strikes in sankyu were there in earlier versions. As many styles moved away from practice applications, those atemi were lost within those schools. Thanks for keeping the martial in Aikido.
I agree.i findthat the frustrating thing is u never get to see martial arts out on streets.just in DOJOS, tournaments or in movies. So really DOES IT EVER WORK.... Thx .good info
I love your videos. I love aikido and I really like you be my sensei, my mentor, my teacher. Thanks for your time, thanks for sharing this. Azu
Once again guys great work keep it up. Thumbs up for me
We must not forget the origins of Aikido keeping in mind the bases of Daitō-ryū. Good practice to all!
Love the video, Big fan from Aus!
Good word. I train in the US and our dojo does incorporate a lot of this. Our instructor has put some Daito Ryu jiujitsu back into Aikido.
That seems that seems pretty cool kind of similar to what I've seen in movies and it makes sense you stun a person with a good blow regardless of his not a knockout they pause for at least three seconds or less giving you more about the opportunity to think clearly and act accordingly
I agree with the pressure testing. Even in training exercises, we should always give, and expect from our training partners some resistance to every movement, mimicking real life resistance. Like you said, it greatly improves our performance in actual situations.
I love your vid. I am allways watching, David from Venezuela
I love these guys, they tell it (combat fighting) like it is! Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do has the same philosophy: "Have no way, as way. Have no limitation as limitation". Lee studied over 100's of styles of fighting to develop a simplified (all styles) method for the street. These guys are right on the spot with their training, I wish I could train with them.
I always enjoy your videos as l learn something new. Either good techniques or wisdom.Thank you so much and God bless you 🙏
An awesome video!
Thank you!
love the aikido takedowns and the pressure testing is good although even in a supposed non contact style with enough practice some contact inevitably happens and one has to simply get used to it and continue. While a bit of a desire to seriously hit your opponent in pressure testing is good, I think it can easily get overheated and the 'intending to hit but remaining calm' is a better state of mind.
Great video great point about pressure testing you have to get used to being hit it's going to happen it's how you respond that matters in a real life situation
(Not being a fighter....at all) I get this impretion with most MA dojos. They do the same things over, structuralized training. Great insight for more than just Aikido in my oppinion.
Let's put it this way. I have met a fair number of Aikido practitioners who could handle themselves in a fight. Almost all of them had extensive training in other martial arts or lots of practical experience. Heck, every one of Ueshiba-Sensei's early students already had teacher-level rank in at least one or two martial arts. I think it really comes into its own as a post-graduate course for someone who already has a strong foundation.
Love the videos!!
Very cool and so on point! Cheers team, keep em flowing :-)
excellent points - great advice!
Excellent ....no b.s......practical.....
Domt see.tjat much glad to see good info for a change ...i have trained since 1980....few different martial arts ....keep up the good work I will watch and recomend
Great stuff. Real life situations, that's what make sense.
Hallelujah! Amen! Great points!
Great video! To be a fully rounded martial artist it's probably a good idea to do aikido, bjj, boxing, judo, HEMA, maybe join the army reserve and do some military training. All while holding up a fulltime job and looking after the kids.
This is great your preaching versatility ,great
What did the old lady say?
"keep my money in here", I think.
To me it sounds like she said "I put my money on him" as if she was placing her bet on a fight.
"I know kong foo,
ya punks..."
Excellent points.
Really confident stuff this guys. Very informative.
Great video, thanks for your views on aikido. All valid points !
Thought that old granny was gonna take you both down and beat you with her slipper 😂
you do well with your videos.thanks for masking them
This the greatest Chanel in the world
Manus Quinn Glad you like it.
As aikido student of the craft I say the same thing that’s what made me studied Krav Maga boxing as well. People don’t also understand you also have to find martials that work well for your physique and stature
