People think that we only defend against an atttack, but actually my Aikido instructor always tells me not to wait for the uke's attack but go in as soon as there is the slightest hint of there being an assault. Your video confirms this. WELL DONE
@@MrMattias87 because they think that defense means waiting to be attacked. But even I know, and I'm not yet training aikido (but will start soon) that sometimes defending means attacking first. If you can see that you will be attacked, and what I can tell by these videos, you can recognize the threat when it is comming at you.
As always, good advice. One thing my sensei used to say was "Don't just stand there and think you're going to block a punch and then put some guy in a wrist lock. That's not Aikido. The first thing you need to do is MOVE. Irimi to the left or right, but don't just stand there. That way, if your technique fails, the punch still misses." Easier said than done, of course!
Only recently found this channel. Glad I did. Extremely practical and pragmatic. The delivery is friendly to the point I find myself smiling with you guys when you do it. Great channel.
Never been in a physical fight since my time at school. I guess my height and build was just a deterrent to most people. Now I'm getting older, I have noticed drunks on a weekend are starting to target me - normally vomiting up anti black racist tripe. I will practice some of these techniques simply to ward off potential assault.
Don't use these. They won't work. Take boxing, mma or really any other defense class. Aikido is the least effective out there. Hell just getting in fights would be better teaching
@@dakotablount251 wdym i do aikido and no one can attack me and i have never learnt anything from a fight before i actually winned my first fight just bc aikido like years ago im 16 rn tho so yeah i still have a long way to go but it works for me at the moment also the pain that my teacher made me go through aswell like at my first day i had to do like 60 pushups which was kinda painfull but i was doin it slow so yea
Guys, I really enjoy the videos. Thank you for the work you put into making them, and for posting them on here. I'm really going to start training harder in aikido, and hope to find a good school in my area. Keep those videos comming.
Another thing: it will be EXTREMELY helpful if such a video (or even MOST of your videos) get to be seen from above!! Like, to hook a GoPro onto a tree brunch in the park. Slo-mo we could always get from TH-cam s menu but an above view is absolutely crucial to correctly understanding most strategies, the eye doesn’t quite get it from a horizontal view. Cheers!
totally agree! sure takes alot of practice but the idea of shielding first and advancing right after is really sound. i can see how this would allow the person to control the situation in the least violent way. Its a pity the dojo i go to rarely let us practise defences to punches aimed at the face
In firearms world to control breathing is also called sometimes "BOX BREATHING" . Box Breathing is where one can imagine a four corner box . And in between the the corners are intervals of seconds . So At each imaginary corner one will inhale and then at the next corner in the rotation, one will exhale . The space between lets say 4 seconds. Is the time in between the inhale and the exhale . Or the imaginary line between each corner = seconds . And corners = either inhale or exhale . Also remember, at least with this system to inhale trough the nose and exhale out of the mouth . This allows one to expel the maximum amount of Carbon dioxide as possible . The following may sound funny at first . However it is a great practice . Key word being "PRACTICE " YES practice Breathing . Breathing like this can become second nature like anything else . Such as the muscle memory you have unwittingly developed by putting your wallet away . And since Breathing uses muscles as well as the mind we can develope our muscle memory in this aspect as well . More oxygen brings clearer thinking and vision of your surrounding . God Bless
now this is the bomb. never fall back. lunge foward to bring the adversary down fast and a then finish him off with a elbow to the face!! this one is the best.. thanks men!!
Being fluid and moving is 100% correct.. Dont be an easy target.. As a guy I used to train with would say, "move your butt".. =-) Besides that doorman Azu looked pretty violent, I think he totally deserved it Ondrej.. =-) Nice job guys..
do you teach a combat version of aikido? less moves than the entire system but enough to be able to fight effectively? or is aikidoflow just that? a short and sweet combat style? great work guys i love your tutorials!!
That was a really good video. I practice aikido and sometimes I think "what if i am receiving a damn punch? Because anyone attacks with shomen " :P Congrats from a portuguese fan and a recent aikidoka :)
hola los tips que dan es para el público en general y no para praticantes? pregunto porque no dicen los nombres de las tecnicas. Solo nombraron el ATEMI. Saludos.
This is very nice but I feel that you should give people a few hints on how to slide correctly and efficiently to the side or behind the opponent. Like, your body should always face them centrally once you pass to their side, or face same direction as them once behind them (for kiri otoshi or other). I say this because I find the smooth, quick passage difficult (or it is hard for me only?) and it’s one thing that can be practiced even without a partner. Thanks!
LOL. Funny stuff , John John. But I believe the title is "How to defend against a "punch", not a flying, leaping, spinning, Chuck Norris back flipping, round house kick.
You guys should do a pillow fight lol. I'm kidding of course. Great video and excellent insights. I'm going to be taking copious notes on your offerings of knowledge.
tezmarnie192 oh man ! Everybody gets what they deserve in the end you don't really need to get involved. Aikido is a peaceful martial arts. And using it against women it just too low. I know you are just joking but in today's society we see too much violence against women from ignorant individuals...
Absolutely! What about Disabled People? Is there a way for us to defend ourselves from a wheelchair OTHER than my remarkably Bitchy mood and the cane that I carry?
Searia Vorza sure there is we have done few videos on similar subject, when one is sitting down this might help too but yes we can concentrate on this more, many thanks for your suggestion
If you want those kinds of videos,I think you'd be better served by seeking out a female TH-camr making those videos from an actual female perspective, and enjoy Aikidoflow for its perspective. :)
This we Chinese call 入身。i still suggest find the right timing or opportunity to get in. It,s really advanced skill. and most fake Chinese masters simply don,t know it.
I don't want to sound impertinent, but if all this Aikido works so well, then why is the one gentleman so battle scarred , broke, busted and disgusted. It looks like someone got the best of him and not vice versa.
yeah everyone have their hands ready and everyone punch like this, only fake systema can compare with aikido in bullshit level the real system works like voin or others
That is true you would have to move much faster and use atemi against trainer opponent it would be much harder but not impossible. The question is how many trained martial artists are starting fights ?
People think that we only defend against an atttack, but actually my Aikido instructor always tells me not to wait for the uke's attack but go in as soon as there is the slightest hint of there being an assault. Your video confirms this. WELL DONE
My instructor says the same thing! Go check out some of O'sensi's demonstration films, he engagues uke before the attack is even viable
Thanks Lenny
Same here it's all about anticipation.....and people still think that Aikido is a passive art because we only defend.
Same here, with most instructors I trained under in and around the USAF.

Keep it coming. Love your training

Love this! The realism is fantastic! "Oops, sorry!" Haha, even someone with training could get hurt...even when doing a demo. It works!
Love the positive nature of these videos. Lots of smiles

Hi there unfortunately not sure what you are saying could you ask in English please ? :-)
This is very nice but I feel that you should give people a few hints on how to slide correctly and efficiently to the side or behind the opponent. Like, your body should always face them centrally once you pass to their side, or face same direction as them once behind them (for kiri otoshi or other). I say this because I find the smooth, quick passage difficult (or it is hard for me only?) and it’s one thing that can be practiced even without a partner. Thanks!
do you have videos of a situation where you are on your back defending yourself against the mount?
Do you mean ground techniques ? Yes we do !
Yes ground techniques that you can use whilst laying on your back, defending against someone sitting on top of you.
bjj is for that my fiend
Stripling Warrior yes we do, it's called what your aikido teacher didn't tell you
it take courage,presence of mind to go in & take him down when he is just piss off,tipsy,insulting
I would like to see you try that aikido stuff against my flying dragon, spinning, upside down kick. I got ten black belts (one with a cowboy buckle).
LOL. Funny stuff , John John. But I believe the title is "How to defend against a "punch", not a flying, leaping, spinning, Chuck Norris back flipping, round house kick.
these Punches come from Los Angeles, where there's so many crazy people throwing punches everywhere but i hope these techniques can help me out.
the time that distance really matters!
Excuse me, how can we defend to uppercut by ourself in aikido?
Yunus emre Öztürk we will have look into this
Mokoko Okokom I think you should try to pull off a kotagaeshi.
is that queens Park?
Barry O'Sullivan yes
Pretty awesome guys!
Thank you
what he has a pointed stick?
Hello! I want to learn aikido. Im 20. Am i too late to start learning aikido? I want to defend myself and my girlfriend.
mikael abad it's never too late just come down to our class
mikael abad I just started Akido and I'm 39. 20 is a great age to start.
It fun and it's self defense. I been doing it 2 yr half now I'm on my third 3 kyu
the right one is so funny!😂😂
Alexandre Dupont 😊
Good thecniques of our way of Life

Hey Ondrej how old were you when you started aikido?
I am 34 and have trained for 8 or 9 years if I remember correctly
+OMnutritionist “Ondrej Matej” I started age 14 now I'm 16
+Jack Yammouni very cool 👍🏻
+OMnutritionist “Ondrej Matej” also I love all the videos that you guys make😄
+Jack Yammouni thank you
that guys laugh is infectious lol
Hardcore Rains haha
Wahhhh! Hes going to punch me, ohhh he already did 😆
EXCELLENCE.
I like the fact that the trainer uses bigger attackers
great video
Razor 8j thanks
You guys should do a pillow fight lol. I'm kidding of course. Great video and excellent insights. I'm going to be taking copious notes on your offerings of knowledge.
love u guys
Haru & Ashni S4L thanks
Sweet
what about multiple attacks guy?
We have that planed in one of our next videos
exelent video
Thanks
Has no one ever wondered why there is two men fighting in the park? 😀
Great tips! 👍
Haha we don't know everyone just start running away when they see us 😂
Pre emptive strike is effective,but be aware of the law,especially if you have a martial arts background.
Then you'd be forced to actually defend yourself. And you'd get murdered. Because aikido sucks.
Nice irimi nage omote 2:30
thanks for the video my ex wife wont know whats hit her
tezmarnie192 oh man ! Everybody gets what they deserve in the end you don't really need to get involved. Aikido is a peaceful martial arts. And using it against women it just too low.
I know you are just joking but in today's society we see too much violence against women from ignorant individuals...
Ondrej you remind me of Dec from Ant & Dec. Sorry but you do!!
:-)
لمعرفةاصول لعبة الدفاع عن النفس لابد من ترجمة الشرح الذى يشرحة المدرب للغة العربية
Nyce, guys! Nyce!
As a women I would love to see more women in defensive positions in your videos.
Searia Vorza we do have few videos with a girl performing the techniques, feel free to check them out
Absolutely! What about Disabled People? Is there a way for us to defend ourselves from a wheelchair OTHER than my remarkably Bitchy mood and the cane that I carry?
Searia Vorza sure there is we have done few videos on similar subject, when one is sitting down this might help too but yes we can concentrate on this more, many thanks for your suggestion

solid
you want it to be his turn your turn no more turns lights out ?
ONE PUUUUUUUUUUNCH
Very few people understand the cross defense. It is both a defense and an attack. Is there anybody who understand what I'm talking about?
02:10 potential uchimata
its so great gays can get married these two must be really happy now
This we Chinese call 入身。i still suggest find the right timing or opportunity to get in. It,s really advanced skill. and most fake Chinese masters simply don,t know it.
Are you both doormen?
Nope only Azu
You use a lot of steps without saying so, want to know more about the moves around the attack
Please guys we need more shoulder movement advice
We can not cover every little step unfortunately the best thing is for you to train with us if you want to know more
Make mooooore videos
Stay at home being opionated on youtube. Never go outside.
I use to do aikido and then my teacher pass away
"keep your hands handy". thks. Totally worth the 4:10 of nonsense that would never work in a real fight.
They need to show the movements slower. That guy is so fast like Steven Segall
Should've did more slowly for us....
SLOW DOWN AND MORE SLOW MOTION AKIDOFLOW...ENTIRELY TO FAST AND NOT ENOUGH SLOW REPETITION.
This isn't traditional aikido... that's fine though ... I do see a lot of wing chun and jiujitsu hand techniques ... if it works use it.
If you have your hands low like that an experienced boxer with lighting fast arms is gonna put you to the ground fast nigga.
Do not be where the punch lands
:o)
I don't want to sound impertinent, but if all this Aikido works so well, then why is the one gentleman so battle scarred , broke, busted and disgusted. It looks like someone got the best of him and not vice versa.
Helmet
Oooops sorry lol 😂
1st
dudes in a real fight totally let you sneak up behind them and sweep their forehead. that totally happens.
yeah everyone have their hands ready and everyone punch like this, only fake systema can compare with aikido in bullshit level the real system works like voin or others
what about combination punches, this is something that would only work on the untrained assailant or the drunk guy. Waaaay too over simplified.
That is true you would have to move much faster and use atemi against trainer opponent it would be much harder but not impossible.
The question is how many trained martial artists are starting fights ?
They demonstrated combo punches in the end but the idea is to deflect and enter/irimi before the combo builds up.
qzeso;e / thqnks
too much speaking very less action ! In all your videos same. show something more pls.
I like the fact that the trainer uses bigger attackers
