- Part 2 here: • Aikijujutsu Concepts -...
After class Discussion: Former US Navy SEAL, Ken Good practically demonstrates the idea of using "Triangulation" and weight shifting to destabilize opponents and gain advantages. Nothing is in this realm is gained without deliberate and intelligent practice. No free Lunch out there!
Apologize in advance for the Low Audio Quality...Need to up our game!!!
There is no what we call Aiki in this video
but there is a "Jujutsu" demonstration of the principles of using the body perfectly.Congratulations to the gentleman, great video!
Even these mechanics are often berated. I stay away from trying to show "Aiki" on TH-cam. What is "Aiki"...exactly? Ask me, and I can provide answer based on what I can perceive now. Ask somebody else, get a different answer.
I have had the opportunity to see, feel and be coached by several amazing teachers of Aiki Jujutsu arts. They do not agree in their answers.
An insight on the obvious here: Many things can be shown with mechanics at the same time, many things are beyond mechanical sequences. I have personally been on the receiving end of powerful mechanics and I have been on the receiving end of things I still have no clear explanation of, yet there I was flying through the air and meeting the ground once again without my conscious compliance.
@@progressivecombat - Very true. Across the entire spectrum of aiki arts practitioners, they don’t agree. But at this point, I feel the evidence for aiki being an internal body skill primarily developed through tanren / taiso taught as okuden separate from waza is beyond debate. That said, I think the demos and principles presented in your videos (this one and part 2) are excellent! Maybe the best, most practical clarifications for inducing kuzushi using efficient external body mechanics when in contact with an opponent one can find! And such kuzushi is the desired result of aiki.
What I see here is a clear and comprehensive explanation of triangulation which is 100% a core component if Aikijutsu. We worked this principle extensively in my Aikijutsu school. I was fortunate enough to train with serious heavy weight such as Bernie Lau, Neil Yamamoto, and Don Angier
What is aiki? Is it magic?
@@josephmalone253 For some it's magic. For some it is biomechanics and physics. In our opinion, it is a mental technique in which many principles are used together.
Demythologizing Aiki- this is good stuff….
As a former martial arts instructor, people would sometimes ask me which is the best martial art. I would always answer, the one you know...
Jiu jitsu
Good to see you still working ! Will never forget my lessons in balance, awareness, sensitivity, and efficiency!! Of course the skeptics have returned to their old ways, but thats on them! Outstanding video!
Probably the most basic easily digested demonstration of “aiki” I’ve seen. Good stuff yall. (I play with Muy Thai, Kempo, Toyama and Nami Ryu)
I really liked this illustration. Ive been teaching this same concept to my jitsu students for years, but ive never used the kettle ball as an illustration of weight manipulation. Good stuff Sir
Principles are principles... if it works it works and I will use it. I love rediscovering or finding common principles in martial arts! Awesome information.
Great work and descriptions as always, Ken. It's good to watch you teaching again.
It’s refreshing to see a proper demonstration of Aiki. Nice!
Other than the supposed agony/painful sound effects, everything is well said.
Pretty straightforward explanation of kuzushi without any of the mystical mumbo jumbo. I enjoyed the content. Thank you for posting it.
"If I relax and move my hips, and just let the weight do the work."
Amazing! When he relaxed the person resisting relaxed and stopped resisting.
3 minutes in, this is already awesome! 🥋🔥🙏
Excellent presentation, as expected. Kudos
NIce Demonstration and explanation. I think that Don Angier would approve.
Thanx Mark. I had limited contact with Don, but he had a significant impact on my perspective of what could actually be done. I was a skeptic (always have been), but when I witnessed first-hand and more importantly felt first-hand the principles in action, my trajectory of training was forever altered. He came up to me several times in the seminars I was fortunate to to attend and offered personal insight into things that I am still unlocking today. I only stand near his shadow.
@@progressivecombat we all stand in his shadow. He was a true legend and every bit as lethal at 80 as his was at 30
Very interesting to see the concepts in this context. Subscribed!
Excellent demonstration and explanation. Thank you!
The best demonstration I have seen explaining Aikido. Thank you, Hooya!
Interesting display of what I presume is the fundamental concept behind the body of techniques
David, I have been exposed to various legitimate Aikijujutsu teachers over several decades. This is one idea/principle. The use of Triangulation, circumvention and circumnavigation of tension/force, wave generation sequences, unbalancing on contact, proper footwork & weight shifting that leads to a variety of compromising situations for the attacker that can be exploited.
as a navy seal you saw allkinds of dedly hand to hand combat but you coosetraditional art,,,it is amazing..
Did you really have to show us by pulling his ponytail? hehe. Awesome video.
It seemed like the thing to do at the time...
Quite simply explained as "balance points". Breaking the balance, breaking the body's structure of strength.... It's actually a really simply aspect but requires repetitive training to gain a sense of timing and your own positioning.
Body mechanics.
Whenever possible, de-mystify, simplify and develop the ability to execute on demand while pressured.
@@progressivecombat absolutely. It's nice to see a a video that is easy to follow and we'll explained.
You talk of the triangulation point, I learnt it as balance points being 6 spots. Draw a cross (X) across the top of someone's head going from right to left/left to right which give the 4 diagonal off balance points.
Then your rear triangulation point you use in this video but also the opposite frontal (though this one is not as weak as the other five).
I've seen it take some people years to finally understand the basics because they focus on strength and not the subtleties of a technique.
I like your videos. Subscribed 👍
In physics we call it "the center of mass."
This is more of a geometry. They manipulate the center of a triangle. Standing differently creates different triangle shapes with different balance points. They want to lean the top half of the body want from the center of a triangle to fall the person. The person neutralizes this by shifting where that center is. Different stances have different geometry and different stability points. There is this idea of finding the triangle they are standing in and taking them away from the center of that triangle with the person adapting to this by changing their stance to create a new stability point where there wasn't. It's like watching an animation of a triangle constantly changing shape making it's center constanly shifting. This neutralizes what he is teaching.
Any chance of getting a full video series streaming, I've been following you guys since 1990s when you did the videos with James Williams. Would happily pay for this type of info.
aikido isnt worthless i was bullied before my bullies love to touch me alot or put there hand on me so i used aikido and wrist lock them ikkyo style they never put their filthy wrist over me again
Ikkyo is a standard armbar. If you apply a reverse wristlock that is nikkyo. Anytime wrist is bent during ikkyo that is nikkyo, a seperate technique.
1. Ikkyo- straight armbar
2. Nikkyo-reverse wristlock; 30 variations
3. Sankyo- chicken wing with wristlock
4. Kotegaeshi- standard wristlock throw
5. Shihonage- kotegaeshi by grabbing forearm.
Aikido is the jujutsu throws from karate kata.
In its raw form it’s called Ryu or Akido. People proficient in real Ryu cannot be defeated. Hapkido is also useful. Judo, jujitsu and Chi Na are types of things that are somewhat similar. Certain things, like Taijitsu, for example, are specifically engineered to be easily defeated by Ryu.
Is akijitsu a good discipline to add to my Kempo for weapons disarmament?
Considering the entire approach is formulated around a weapons-based, armored up, multiple adversary environment, the answer is yes.
Actually, the Samurai used these very concepts just as you described.
Very cool…. But please teach the man how to fall. Poor guy….
Agreed... :)
Good principles BUT its very hard to relax in real combat situation and this demo its overacted by the uke.
I don't get how you're making him fall with your arms extended out when he's grabbing your wrist.. It seems like he's just complying with you at this part. The triangle concept exists in wrestling and judo etc as well, though..or is he just too focused on trying to grab the gun to try to balance? It's very confusing
If he maintains his grab he is unbalanced and dealt with. If he let's go, he has deal with the fact my weapons are free.
Why wouldn't step back instead of falling. He is clearly allowing you to throw him to the ground. All he has to do is let go take a step then begin striking you. When someone is striking you such as boxing or kickboxing this training appears to be pointless.
Appreciate your skepticism, it's healthy. Several things. Given I have walked across the ground (forward and backwards) for over 60 years, I am generally aware of the process. This is drilling and an isolation of a few concepts and they not a key or tool to open all locks. What was being illustrated here (among other things) is "double-weighting". When one can move weight past the the triangulation point(s) faster that the opponent can step to stabilize themselves, they will fall. Gravity is a powerful, unrelenting and consistent ally. I point out in the video, that this not combat. It's not combat anymore than working a speed bag, striking heavy bag, & jumping rope are actually boxing. Those things are training methodologies & tools that create the capabilities within the boxer to exploit opportunities when they are recognized and available. The ideas I am presenting have been around for thousands of years for a reason. That reason is not because they don't work, it's because dedicated warriors wearing armor, facing multiple adversaries, armed with all kinds of of weapons on difficult terrain & conditions, determined they had value. Warrior clans/families cultivated sophisticated strategies to deal with their situations or die. They were not hitting each other with pillows on their hands, in a well-regulated, well-lit, rules based scenario.
All that being said, you do your thing, I will do mine.
@@progressivecombat I apologize if my comment was offensive that was not my intentions. Thank you for explaining your point of view.
@@mr_hard_ash_aka_smokingjoe All-good and you are welcome. Best to you.
there are other concepts that can solve the issue of the uke walking away. it is hard to step if weight is put on your quads, for example. imagine having weights on your quads, and having to maintain deep horse stance like posture to step out of my attack. you might be able to once or twice, but soon you wont. same concept if you are kicked in the quad or calf multiple times. your leg becomes weak. then the techniques become more effective. it can be seen in this video, but might not have been talked about. imagine uke does step back, and starts punching. what is stopping nage from ALSO stepping forward and maintaining the position, and countering those punches? you wouldent go into mma unless you knew how to punch and kick. its still going to be a fight. and if youve ever seen judo, you know what happens when uke starts trying to walk backwards. they get tripped.
Because it's a demonstration. Nothing wrong with a demonstration. All martial arts have demonstrations that are not full on fights to the death including MMA and BJJ. In a real altercation if nage does it correctly then uke wouldn't step back because uke (the attacker) is focused on getting the gun, the attacker (uke) can't put all his focus on taking the gun and stepping back at the same time because to get the gun he has to put his weight and energy forward and to step back he has to go in the opposite direction... Can you go forwards and backwards at the same time? Can you up up and down at the same time? Most people can't... (nobody can) in these exercises the nage is extending out and redirecting the force of the attacker (uke) beyond the attackers own center of power so the attacker is helpless to resist (again someone can't hurt you or take your gun and step backwards at the same time.) I hope that helps. If it's not done correctly then uke can step back and the technique doesn't work. Nobody is perfect. Think about what he showed here like a 5 foot 2x4 piece of wood that is fixed to the ground by a bolt that the 2x4 can pivot around freely but cannot be lifted up, it's attached to the ground by the bolt but it can go in a complete 360 degrees around the center of the bolt, it can also pivot up and down 180 degrees... now try to move the piece of wood... you can't push directly on it because it's bolted to the ground, but you can easily turn it around in a any degree that makes up a half-sphere... that's what he's doing here... extending the uke (attackers) appendage or contact point out so there is force coming out in that direction and the slack is taken out then when the force is going out then the nage moves around the attacker's (uke's) center (where the bolt is attached to the floor) and then he simply moves the 2x4 (the person) around like moving the bolted down 2x4. That's a simple explanation of just some of the aspects of Aikido, but it's not everything, but that's the main thing he's talking about here.
