Azu - very well-done, sir. I am a black-belt level practioner of hapkido, the Korean sister art to Aikido, and your movements look very much like what we do. Your clearly know your aikido.
It absolutely work....If someone who attack you just make 1 movement.
Just started watching you guys the other day. I love your techniques. Just amazing to me.
Need to slow it down and explain the moves in detail
As explained in the video, there are some scenarios you need to attack somebody. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Sensei Azu is stressing the practical application of Aikido. Cheers!
+nikon celis You you are spot on Nikon, YES
+Johnnie Campbell
Aikido can be found all over the world....as can ALL other martial arts INCLUDING places where guns are allowed.
But it's ok....we're happy with our low homicide rate so other countries can keep their guns.
+Johnnie Campbell
Firstly I said low HOMICIDE rate, secondly cybercrime is hardly unique to the UK, thirdly....pretty sure your gun's are not going to fight off cyber crime either.
But nice try at changing the subject. American, right?
Protecting another person is the obvious situation for "attacking" using Aikido. But it's not an interesting point to me; I've got a lot of Karate training and Aikido's greatest value is for situations when many or one person is already targeting you. For that matter, it has very few aggressive techniques that would work well in a fighting situation where you weren't already being targeted actively.
If you are not being targeted you are not in a fighting situation. Sure you might be near one but you are not actively involved.
If you have to join in to stop something and you are not being targeted currently then you have the chance for a totally unopposed attack and there is plenty you learn in aikido to do that.
Alternatively you can step into an attack meant for another target and proceed as normal from there.
That said there is plenty of value in learning more than one form. Add in a bit of Karate to improve your strikes, a bit of BJJ to improve your ground work etc. No one form is complete in and of itself.
As always good moves mate..
I like when an instructor shows the technique, then the evasion. That's important sign of common sense. Well done, Sir.
Love ur channel you guys keep it real with aikido
Azu u are the f***ing man I appreciate your teaching and am learning so much here in the states
Great videos as always, really enjoy how you present. For technique #4, I'd love to see that where you're controlling the wrist that's holding the weapon. I've trained in Aikido also, and I agree that #1 works and works quickly ( and painfully ). In response to Bauchnabel, I agree that some training with other martial artists would really be interesting to help improve everyones awareness of different types of attacks and counter attacks.
I was training in Tang so do many years ago. But the school closed. I believe this would be very interesting training. Northeast Iowa.
love you dude! you are the man!
Hey Azu... I got question about kotagaeshi #1 takedown technique.. When preforming kotagaeshi sometimes opponent can resist and it becomes impossible to preform kotagaeshi. Is it different when preforming kotagaeshi from side and opponent starts to resist at point when comes "pull in" part isn't that tricky/dangerous thing to preform?
What is the name of the intro music track playing??? Straight up jam.
my name is perry and i have made several comments before i just want to say that you folks do such a great job and it a pleasure watching perform your system i look forward to watching all of you do something different and new. great work folks it is a pleasure
+Perry Sullivan Thank you Perry.
in reality, no one holds a knife to your throat like the movies, they either slash or stab motion and thats a dynamic defence that would require years of reflex and mental training to protect from.
Good thing Aikido recommends training for 20+ years... even one of the throws is called (not jokingly) "the twenty year throw" because it takes twenty years to master (to the point where you can do it reliably; I can execute it correctly most of the time after seven years of training)
Kevin Phillips I know, I didn't say aikido is bs, I know it isn't. What I am saying is the training is futile.
Your original point was that it takes years of reflex and mental training to protect from a knife attack
But Aikidokas are recommended to train for years from the first place
I don't understand where your notion of futility is coming from on this issue
You won't get it down overnight, probably take at least a decade to get a little bit consistent... definitely something one can improve at though with effort.
my original point was that the particular method of defensive training portrayed in this video , under the same scenario of attacks would take at least 2 decades. not including the mental
Maybe so, but it's still not futile. Just a bit of an undertaking.
It would be very helpful if you could do techniques in slow motion. At the speed you execute, its difficult to study the technique. Love your videos! :)
You can change the playback speed
Nice techniques man. Thanks :)
+Joe Stewart-Paul ....COOL
Is there a name to the technique in #5?
but,when someone grabs your arm isn't it easier to do shihonage and djust place his ha d on the floor so he cannot stand up.One more thing,is it weird I have 3rd kyu and I'm 14
#2 would not work. I'm 6'3" and I could not get underneath someone who is shorter than me like that. #1 is also absurd. Nobody would risk their life by spinning a knife like that right in front of their body.
Another awesome video, thanks! Could you maybe make a video on how Aikido has helped you in real life scenarios, like the one Azu mentioned for the number 1 takedown?
+spudman Thanks Spudman.If you look at the video we made about "Why Aikido is the best martial arts", you will see that I talk about techniques I've used in real life.th-cam.com/video/-VOb2YBBr7EA/w-d-xo.htmlzu (Aikidoflow)
+Aikidoflow Has there ever been any real life scenarios that Aikido has failed you in??
+spudman When first began training I was grabbed around my throat by someone much bigger and stronger than me. I tried to perform a lock on his arm but it didn't work. I realised years later that I was trying to battle him with strength and I wasn't moving my whole body. I think that situation would be a lot different if it happened again today.Azu (Aikidoflow)
Hi.Can you make a video about when you are pushed to a wall by someone and in other hand his having a knife and threating you?Thanks!
We did make something like that, look at some of ondrej's early videos
It would help me if you could please show each move in slow motion.
If you want to be severly injured, or worse, use these techniques against a knife!
more Aikido takedowns for MMA please
Why does the belts you guys have say Karate Do
XXIII 9 cuz they are fake obv
Nice
+Krystian Trocha Thank you
nice
1:54
Guy on the ground:A-are you going to take the knife?...No..ok i will just stay down here
What does his belt say õ.õ First I thought it said karate-do but then again that first character doesn't seem right.. Anybody wiser, please?
Hi! I have practiced both karate and aikido to black belt so I can confirm that these instructors are wearing karate belts. I also can say that some of these five techniques are variations of karate than aikido tanto dori as O'sensei taught. You can search TH-cam for these tanto dori by Japanese instructors for the original move. A key to Aikido technique is totally controlling the attacker without harming him. In the end, the knife must be away while dead lock to his body. Thank you for your question.
Azu, that takedown in scenerio 3 looked like a Judo takedown!!!!!
Three rules in a knife-fight is run fly or equalize. When you fight someone with a knife you will get cut. Question would if you get an experienced knife-fighter, the experienced knife fighter won't just leave the knife out to be ready for a take-down? A good knife fighter hides the knife and keeps it close to his body and will slash the person before the kill; wont it be hard to take-someone down then?
That is a good point
Try to study Kali, a Filipino Martial Art-- they deal mostly with knifes.
Not overly. The only time i've needed aikido was against a knife and it worked fine.
Yes a good knife fighter will keep the knife hand lower and cover with the other one but in aikido you don't attack. So when they try the slash (or stab) is when you defend through deflection and movement and use technique to take down.
We used to train unarmed against weapons quite a bit and there are a lot of ways to take a knife / sword / staff off somebody.
Love L in real life the move arnt slow, there at least 10x faster he's just slowing the move down to show us how it's done so when you come face to face with a dude about to cut-stab you you can do the move 10x faster and at that speed they won't know what hit them
A very proficient martial artist I know, a mid-level black belt in hapkido who learned it from the hardcore instructors in Korea while stationed there in the U.S. Army, once told me that a knife concerns him more in a fight than a gun, since a knife is so easily-concealed, and takes virtually no training to use effectively and to lethal effect. Moreover, experienced "shiv" men in prisons, for example, work in teams - one guy to immobilize the target, another to stick the blade into victim. My friend once said "Only the dumb knife fighter shows you the blade before he attacks." The street-smart ones keep it hidden until they're ready to rock-and-roll. Stay frosty, friend, stay frosty.
I will love akido lock.
It is a best and simple to use. Their is no taugh tecnices.
Thankyou. 😀😀😀😀🙂🙂🙂🙂😀😀🙂😠
Good videos sir you can easily tell this guy could pick you up and throw ya but he's got crazy ninja moves instead!!
Can you make a video that goes more into depth about the technique? In these videos you demonstrate them but don't tell it step by step. Thanks!!!
+Luke Kolk Hi Luke we are thinking about that, we are just trying to work out how we want to film it, we should have something in the first part of 2016
Awesome! Looking Forward to it!
Ikkio nikkio and sankio
+Filip Geber Nikkio hurts so bad......
Haha all of them probably hurts as much as giving birth
diceman199
+Filip Geber For my money (and wrist tendons) nikkio is the worst of the bunch
kote gaeshi its just badass!
Beatiful ! :) at 2:24 thats one powerful iriminage :D
I think it was tenchi nage actually. Iriminage usually refers to when you enter from the outside of the guy's arm if I remember correctly. Very nice move either way.
+brottarnacke thank you!!! i always asked myself whats the difference between these two
nice bike
Maybe could work but this is not Aikido. (I practice that for many years and passed the Shodan black belt exam)
Wow. The more I see of aikido, the less I respect it.
I still feel aikido has great potential - but it HAS to get out of the dojo.
I think aikido would benefit immensely if a dozen or so judo, bjj and general MMA guys studied it intensely and started openly expanding it to attack techniques. In fact, despite all the criticism he's received (and plenty of it justly), I get the impression Steven Seagal is on the right track. There needs to be a full dozen more people with the same attack orientation in aikido. Then it will truly blossom into a full martial art.
StudSupreme You just described Hapkido. Extremely popular in Korea. It's a Korean Martial arts that stems from the same root as Aikido. More offensive , more 'practical' in real life situations.
You conflate the art with the popular perception of it. There are many effective martial arts systems. There is no "one, best way" - one must be adaptable and flow like water - Bruce Lee showed all of us that. Aikido, properly done, is an effective martial art. Is it perfect? No, but then no system is - which is why mixed martial arts exist in the first place. Seagal, by the way, has bastardized and hybridized Aikido to such an extent that it isn't always recognizable as traditional Aikido. That's a good thing as far as I am concerned. Take what works from whatever sources you can find.
"Wow. The more I see of aikido, the less I respect it.
I still feel aikido has great potential - but it HAS to get out of the dojo."
The black guy in the video has been a bouncer for like 30 years and uses Aikido in real life every day as a bouncer
@@neutrino78x Which is why it's utterly failed to have any impression whatsoever on MMA..............
@@StudSupreme
"Which is why it's utterly failed to have any impression whatsoever on MMA."
Means nothing. Lots of things are not used in MMA.
Would you agree the US Marines know how to fight hand to hand?
Well, MCMAP is not represented in MMA.
Neither is Krav Maga. I doubt you're going to say that the Israeli Special Forces can't fight.
etc.
1:29 thats It, thats aikido. If you want and you are fast enough you can break anybodys anything xD
Awesome :-)🎃👻🍁😀
+Leanna Jacobo Thank you Leanna
I have always wanted to train in martial arts for the purpose of being able to "stand my ground", so to speak, during a fight; as I have never been much of a fighter. I have never really gotten into fights much as a kid, but of the 2 or 3 times I did, one or two I was losing, the fight was broken up by someone else. So I just learned to avoid conflicts as much as possible.
Now I live a a fairly ghetto part of town so the potential of being attacked is there, but I haven't been "confronted" over anything. . . Yet !
As an older guy (over 50) I want to learn a style that DOES NOT involves taking a guy to the ground and wrestle him like in MMA or Brazilian Jujitsu; nor do I want stand there toe-to-toe and box the guy, or to do a bunch of Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris jumping and kicking stuff either. I'm too damn old and a little outta shape for all that fancy bullshit.
So, If I just gotta fight someone I want to be able to Throw Punches, Deflect & Block Punches, Counter-punches and kicks, and basically just devastate an opponent to end a fight quick and clean with him on the ground and me still on my feet.
I've seen a big change in the way Steven Segal fights in his movies. He doesn't seem to run around and do a lot of his fancy jumping kicks and karate moves anymore, in one of his last movies shows him blocking, deflecting and throwing people more while landing punches and chops that leave the guys lying on the floor thinking to themselves: "Holy shit, that was stupid. I think I'll just lay here and groan."
So I'm thinking to myself if that is what Aikido is, then that's what I want to learn.
But I have TWO Questions; both are important and would like an answer to each.
#1. Am I right in thinking that Aikido would be a style suited for an old fart like me who doesn't wish to have a long running jumping, kicking fight, trading punches and/or falling to the ground and wrestling like MMA; Or is there a different style that would be better suited, like maybe Jujitsu or Ninjutsu?
#2. Once I figure which style I want to train in, how do you pick the right dojo?
I tend to think that different Dojo's are like car mechanics, some are better than others. Some guys really know what they are talking about and know how to train someone, and some are just as full of crap as they are skills.
So how do you know you have picked picked the right place?
Thanks in advance for your advice
+Corey Shier Aikido would work for you. It doesn't rely on strength but it does take quite some time to master. I'm not sure i'd take Segals movies as what aikido is in reality though.
For one thing it doesn't use punches and chops to deliver damage. What it does do is allow immobilization of an opponent with the option of breaking their wrist, elbow etc if there is more than one opponent and things are getting serious. It's a fairly subtle martial art in that very small changes in motion / posture / hold have a huge difference on the technique.
+diceman199
That's what I was thinking, thanks for the confirmation. But, if I may ask, are the differences and the Pro's/Con's between Aikido and Hapkido or Jujitsu, Judo? What about Krav Maga? That one looks interesting.
Could these work as well?
+Corey Shier
I don't know much about Hapkido so can't comment on that one.
Judo seems to need a bit more raw strength than aikido and is more about grappling.
Jujitsu is again more about grappling & groundwork than aikido is though both forms share quite a few techniques and a common root.
Krav Maga is quite an aggressive form and not so much about defending yourself so much as aggressively taking down attackers....which is a valid form of defense but more likely to cause injuries.
Like everything....it depends what you want to get to as an end result. You can study a couple of different forms to meet your needs. For instance you could combine Aikido, for it's defense, locks and holds, with some karate type style for it's strikes.
May I suggest Glock Fu Do?
Honestly, at your age and your unwillingness to improve your health and conditioning, you should really just get a concealed carry license and learn to shoot well.
Every practical and effective combat art involves strength and conditioning and getting your hands dirty. Fights WILL go to the ground. Your opponent WILL drag you to the ground with him in many takedowns. You have to be able to navigate "newaza" (ground combat) if you want to actually be effective in real life fights and confrontations.
But why do you plan on getting into physical confrontations as an out of shape 50 year old? Are you still going to the bars regularly? Avoiding alcohol and late weekend nights and large groups of men who are drinking late at night will eliminate 99% of your chances of getting into a physical confrontation.
Get a gun and get trained to use it for deadly force under life or death circumstances. That's the only kind of self defense situation you should even be worried about getting into. You have no reason to be getting into fist fights at your age and condition.
Aikido is a joke for real fighting.
Do it for the fun and recreation and "art" of it. But don't for a second think you're going to be able to use it on fully resisting opponents of healthy conditions. Especially healthy men with 15+ pounds on you.
Gixxer bro
not having a go, i know nothing about this style, but it did look like if this was real you may of got a few cuts. it looked very sloppy when it comes to knife control. its easy to grab a hand with i knife in it, but you kninda need to know what to do with it then. also dont think this style was ment for this knda stuff.
I've used number 2 like 3 times in 4yrs.
We use similar moves in the Bujinkan
What's up with the "close-lining" wrestling move in most of Aikido takedowns??? It's not going to work on someone who is big, stiff, balance, or any grappling training.
Untrue. Cloths-line moves work fine when the opponent supplies the necessary forward momentum and energy - and leaves his head/neck unprotected. Where the head goes, the body follows. And remember that the neck is one of the most-vulnerable places, anatomically-speaking, on the human body. Even a light strike there is painful, if not debilitating. Ever been hit in the larynx? I have - and it isn't pleasant. Not even remotely. Almost sent me to the ER, and my training partner didn't even mean to hit me.
Interesting as a showcase, but i didn’t exactly see how it was done..
sooo only thing you need for aikido is a friend who can take the heath and attracs knife robbers?
This is dangerous fantasy.
Please make just ONE video with a non-compliant opponent. Just one. :)
Brent McGrath he has one called Aikido vs Hardcore attacker.
That's a bogus charge, and here's why: For moral-legal-ethical reasons, no one in the modern world can train "realistically," i.e., in a manner which truly mirrors reality. To truly do "real-world" knife attack defense, you'd have to stage an actual edged-weapon assault and then disable or even kill the attacker. You aren't doing that, I'm not doing that. Why? Because of the factors mentioned above. You want non-compliant opponents? Join the cops, the military, become a bouncer in a night club, or - and I am not in any way condoning this - become a thug in a street gang. Otherwise, do us all a favor and put a cork in it, OK?
GeorgiaBoy1961 He is a Bouncer. He's mentioned it a few times on other videos. He has also admitted there have been times when the techniques didn't work. Don't think he is selling fantasies or he wouldn't have admitted those things.
Duane D. Smiley ok so you say that he admits that his techniques have failed before and that he's not selling fantasy. Than why would he make a video of this nature. I want him to show me some stab wounds to prove that they fail. Guess what he can't. Know why because he's not even that stupid to attempt them is real life. So whoever said selling fantasy hit the nail on the head.
kyle Vinson the answer is simple. There are situations he has been in where the technique has worked. It's just like any other martial art some techniques won't work at all other techniques will work. As a Bouncer he has been in multiple situations to test his techniques. And he has been honest in the past about certain techniques not working. So in my opinion he is credible.
but dont you get cut at 2:20
No, the blade is barely touching him. The blade will only cut when the edge is moving along the contact point with some pressure behind it (not sure if this is explained very well)
I get this is to represent an untrained attacker, but would even an untrained attacker threaten/attack someone with a knife from such a flawed position?
3:26
You guys are saying no one would hold a knife like that but you gotta remember most thugs on the street have no training and you have to prep for that
YAH...my man is riding a SUZUKI!
AIKIDO is a Gentlemen Martial Arts.
You need to slow it down a bit and get better camera angles. Still good though
If someone is pointing a knife at someone else his problem not mine and if they were "pointing" a knife at a loved one and you are standing out of their vision why wouldn't you just dope fiend them with your fist in their temple with everything you've got. Very affective seen it live and all over TH-cam. The sucker punch from out of nowhere never fails. Temple is not as hard as one's skull and even if your fist hurts a little it just takes one. Never seen any one of these techniques anywhere other than Steven segal movies. I am not a fighter like most watching. But I am smart enough to know the potential dangers in trying to execute any one of these in a real life scenario with an angry assailant attempting to gut you with a knife. Any one watching please do yourself a favor and run first chance you have from any one who is attempting to attack you with a knife. If that isn't possible than make as much noise as possible to give that someone who may care enough for you the opportunity to blindside him. The people who practice this art have read too many jack Reacher novels and have likely never been laid by a real female and try to impress them with degrees in black belts or badges to compensate for their lack of a mouthpiece. While the smart one's who lack swag focused on their bank accounts these one's who still have The mentality of an adolescent will wear their kids shirts in public and focus on their biceps. The makers of this video should be ashamed of themselves for potentially endangering the lives of those watching.
The best thing u can do is to wear a stunt proof suit to make sure ur less likely to get hit and hurt
Aikido alone is useless but mux with muau thai, fma, wrestling, luta livre or bjj it can work. It s muxed very well with grappling art vut you need strikes too for this reason muay rhai, kyokoshin, boxing and silat ,fma for edge weapons znd krav maga for guns
okay im no hater from aikido but i do judo and mma and i don't think someone could take me down only holding my wrist
...mabye someone who is drunk and didn't ever had a training lesson
+Bauchnabel mit Bart We have tried this in the dojo when giving full resistance and it worked well. On the other hand someone with your skill and experience in a variety of martial arts may have the skill, knowledge and balance to counter it. We would love an opportunity to train with someone with a knowledge of several arts like you, I think we could learn a lot.Azu
Thanks for the nice words but if we would want to train together i think it's gonna be a little problem that i live in switzerland...
Mabye one day:)
+Bauchnabel mit Bart Come do the tourist thing and work a visit to their dojo into the trip :-)
+Bauchnabel mit Bart what you're failing to notice is that he's not only holding the guys wrist: on techinique n1, look how he uses he's whole body to take the other guy balance. Try this at your dojo: with your left hand, grab the other guy right hand, four fingers holding below the thumb and your between the metacarpais of the pinky and ring finger. But your right hand over his right hand like you're going to close his hand. Keep your left leg on the front of your body and your right leg behind. After that, use your right hand to close the other guy handm trying to also close his elbow and use the left hand to twist his hand to his right side. At the same time, advance your right leg with a big step and end with it behind he. Do not bend you own arm anytime. Try to do this slowly and you'll understand the movement. Of course, if you do it slow, he'll have time to ajust the stance and keep on his feet. But you'll understand how it works.
+Aikidoflow
Will you guys ever actually show yourselves sparring full contact in a real spar?
You guys suit up sometimes and then drill a move at 80% speed.
Would love to see your aikido used in a real spar, even all suited up. Not just a 5 second movement drill. Do a real 3 minute spar.
5 eays to get stabbed in every one of these you get sliced when the guy jabs or retracts in the movement. Bullshit
And suddenly he goes for attack... And why during attack he trying to grab you by your wrist what king of attack is this?
The belt says Karate
the first move was more judo tahn aikido
+OnLyKnOpPaS What they teach is by-in-large NOT Aikido; it is Jujutsu.
It's Aikido with a focus on Jujutsu-like techniques. Many techniques are shared between the two in the first place... Aikido was derived predominantly from Jujutsu, and then from sword arts like Kendo and Iaido to a lesser extent.
There are more powerful aikido takedowns but ok ;)
Take him down
BJJ
I dont think this is gonna work in the streets sry buddy😎
or anywhere
@@blaster2000 aikido is perfect for filming movies it got some cool takedowns but thats about it
this is karate, not aikido
+元首 Karate and Aikido both have many similar techniques.Azu (Aikidofow)
+Aikidoflow No! Different philosophy, different touch with the same move.
I've got nine years Karate training and seven years Aikido training
This is Aikido far moreso than it is Karate, trust me. But, it's normal for martial arts to have a certain amount of overlap... so it's an easy mistake to make.
元首 this is aikido karate have punch you stupi eshole
@Kevin Philips They complement each other well.
Aikido+Karate=Traditional Jujutsu. I might be wrong but It might be the explanation for the compatibility of the two arts.
Im sorry, mister, what you are showing is not akido, and you should put that info upfront. Unless you have some accredidation, i would drop the akido name. You are going to get people in trouble by what you are doing and its irresponsible.
Begging your pardon A pa: This is AIKIDO. I am 2nd KYU, and each of his techs *are based on* AIKIDO principles. You, however are not required or compelled to adhere to any personal techs as shared here, which are incorporated into any form of Offense or defense.
