THE ROGUE WARRIORS - Where Warriors are FORGED I would love to train with you if I get stateside you think along the same lines as me with regard to effectiveness of technique in the real world,otherwise someone will have false belief in their ability to defend themselves and get a very rude awakening someday.
I'm just beginning to understand the elbow cutting in my class and now your vid makes me have more insight now. Thanks Sly Sensei and thank you Osensei for allowing me to better myself.
There is so much Frankenstein attack in an Aikido dojo and I mean into the higher levels, that teaching how to get outside the Frankenstein is a whole new lesson.
This was a learning experience for me on the use of the square. I come from a karate background and no one has ever given any guidance on how to control your space. Excellent job as always.
The martial arts community has gone totally out of it's mind!?! My greatest inspiration of all time was the book titled: Aikido and the dynamic sphere. The founder of Aikido was one of the greatest Japanese martial artists A master of: Ju-jitsu, Aiki-jitsu, Kenjitsu, Shotojitsu, Bojitsu, Tantojitsu, and Yawara. To study Aikido is to embrace the spirit of the samurai. Without samurai tradition, it's not authentic (as far as i'm concerned). I would practice my Aikido with intensity, as if I were preparing for ancient battle. Where is the honor and dignity in imposing one's size and strength in a publicly demeaning manner, on a padded floor crowded with people? I would find it more practical in adding realistic attack scenarios that would be properly handled by Aikido tactics: Defense against a wrestling takedown, defense against every possible chokehold, headlock,`boxing blows, Thai kicks, etc. You might as well say-If Aikido doesn't work, then being a Samurai doesn't work? My entire point for learning Aikido. Obviously, original martial art schools, and mma gyms are not the same thing. I loathe mma!!
oh wow...i respect your statement but somehow all things change...evolved...hence, here we are, living in this world. But the fact that if a person selected to practice the traditional ways or means, will just be a matter of faith. Aikido is part of the so called art...martial arts category, so, it has its own characteristics that can be retain throughout the years and there will be a way that it will change anytime in this world. Just like a religion. One belief towards salvation but so in so many forms and practices. All the best! happy holidays 2022!!!
Yes Aïkido is beautiful and great to practice. Though is see it more like a niche specialized martial art. Like English boxing is ultra specialized in punches or BJJ on the ground (bad at standing, bad in takedowns...though it improves fast those years)
The thing I love about Aikido is you have choice to put someone in a world of hurt with out crippling them or crippling the,you will defiently walk around with confedance.
do you ever make it to the salt lake city area? i practice judo and bjj and would love to see if there are any aikido techniques i could incorporate into my training and use. i took aikido when i was younger and it was so much fun.
I’m a wing tzun guy and I think this is very good stuff. People don’t realise how devastating traditional martial arts can be when they have been pressure tested properly. Glad you left Izzo he’s not in the same league as a martial artist
I like the footwork inherent in aikido's randori, the timing, the movement, the relaxation, but the techniques I find dubious for real self-defense. If you are facing multiple attackers, the risk of dying outweighs noble concerns. Move like that guy in the video while learning to strike instead of contrived "non-violent" grappling techniques!
Sensei, I am not quite understanding Osae Nage. I fail to see the applicability against a larger attacker. Does the energy for the "throw" come from the weight of the Nage, or is it simply a hard angular chop to the uke's elbow? I fail to see.
As best as I can tell, uke has to keep his arm connected to his center for the technique to work. When you strike/cut at my arm like that, what's to stop me from just absorbing the shot by relaxing/dropping my arm rather than allowing you to pick up my center and take me to the ground? Beware of relying too much on cooperative/choreographed training as a measure of your skills! Truly random attacks which better test your ability to respond spontaneously can be simulated while remaining within a reasonable envelope of safe training.
DracariaEntertainment it's already filmed and it will be uploaded mid next week or sooner. Part is fantastic I'm sure you'll love it! Thank for your support, i really appreciate it.
Question : if Hijishime were applied to me, when my elbow is raised to force me over - before a elbow lock is obtained, what if I were to carry forward with the motion and seek a headlock to regain control?
Hay hi you doing I’m Greg I live in New Orleans and I want learn how to do your style I watch a lot of your videos so I want learn more on how study your style I’m your biggest fan I love watching your clips more videos
Will these randori videos be on the paid instruction training site? Some videos are only available on TH-cam. Excellent instruction; it's really improved my aikido! Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice!
tiburonsam1 The RanDori video's on this channel were specifically made for TH-cam. The upcoming Randori series i mentioned in the video will be a complete breakdown of my interpretation of tenshin Aikido randori and will only be available through www.roguewarriorstraining.com & the online training.
do you have any videos explaining the concept of kokyu ho and kokyu nage and how to.... do it I guess. Have read and heard a lot of confusing, wishy washy woo woo type stuff but few get to the point and explain exactly whats going on...the principle of kokyu and the many variations of throws that come with a kokyu name attached to techniques....Ive seen HIrohito Saito demonstrating a very powerful kokyu nage for instance but it doesnt come with much explanation. All I was told was it means 'Breath throw'. Is it a principle or method that you can apply to the basics or is it a separate technique on its own or???.....Well, Im lost and am trying to find the answers myself. Have practiced aikido for a few years and it feels like 1 step forward and 2 or 3 back and I am TIRED of the all the love, peace and lets all be nice to everyone bs in teachings and dont practice aikido for philosophy lessons. ....because that won't get you out of a scrape and is more likely to get you hurt thinking any of the traditional stuff make make a shit of difference to a threatening situation, not that I plan to get into any but I also dont want to learn fluffy techniques that have no benefit besides distributing synovial fluid around and looking graceful. .Hogwash!!! .....sadly thats all I have access to. I watch your videos with a keen interest and have done for some time.
Aa sou let me try. imagine kokyo nage as if you were the axis of a revolving door. attackers come in to you and get sent on with their own energy with you interacting with them minimally. breathe in when then attack and breathe our when you throw. never grab or take hold but time your interactions with them so that they cant help but be lead by you. another way is to inagine you are a whip where you store the attackers energy for a moment and then crack it out with added force. for it to work never look directly at the attacker or s3cobd guess yourself if it is working. all these momentary losses of attention with interfere with the smoothness of the exchange of momentum between you.
You make fair points. Aikido is great in some ways and lacking in others. Check out this alternative perspective to supplement what you need: attackproof.com/
No one can really understand how powerful is aikijujitsu system fighting warrior art buy seen yet with the eyes private class or watching a video but it’s almost the same thing. Aikido looks very pretty beautiful dance but you’re missing the whole point the only way to understand and to figure out yourself it is to practice and feel the pain how powerful is the art my experienced you people do you need to practice aikido class before you judge anything
Phillip Montoya Taos is Craig Dunn's dojo, he was a direct student of Seagal's for along time. Not to mention he was in almost every one of Seagal's first 9 movie's as stunt guy for the fight scenes. So definitely go check him out.
Phillip Montoya if your interested there's always my TenShin aikido online training course at www.roguewarriorstraining.com We have over 100 video's exclusively for online members. The training video's are very easy to learn from, i broke down everything so people can learn at their own pace.
Once I get mats ill definitely consider that. Hopefully soon. Thanks again. If you know anybody interested on opening a dojo here. Im sure they'll get a lot of students.
Very much miss your videos, Sensei. You have legions of fans. You've helped more aikidoka than you probably know. We understand you got tired of dealing with all the pussies, mma idiots, and naysayers who've never been in a street altercation. That's ok, cuz they'll never measure up. Thank you for all that you've provided and sacrificed. We hope to see new videos from you soon. All the Best, Sensei Sly.
Respected , you so easily throw them,as if they did not weigh when u cut them . If he want punch , it does not use the other arm when u cut him elbow Or wrist? :/
антон андреев No you wouldn't use the other are if you we're defending against a punch. You actually would use Iriminage if you we're to throw or you'd use an evasion and follow up with another throw like Nodotsukiage once the attacker turned around.
I wish people would understand the difference between training and demonstration vs street combat and UFC fighting. I mean, your kata 3 doesn't do jack in the streets either. It is a basis for understanding, first, how the movements effect you, then understanding how they impact your opponent. As for "compliant" students, 95% of that "compliance" is for self preservation. Many of these technique can destroy joint and connective tissues. If you like the brute strength arts, cool. Doesn't mean that no Aikido principals work. In most cases, you are not going up against a big, strong 100% resistant opponent. If you are they're a jackass bully and you are not very smart. In that case, you apply different principals to survive and evade. Not every conflict in real life is a UFC battle.
Now i reaaally understood what randori means :) Tell uke what to do, then throw him.. hahahaaaa so very tough guy. Just try not to tell this mistakenly a judo guy, this miserable randori game may end in a hospital room.
Eugene S Do not be angry so much, i didn't curse jesus, just said randori means free fight, and if you "I believe very smart guys" see any free fight in this video, then I'm sorry that I cannot. Btw, I'm not living in states, but you wont get any problem to find a mid level free fighter to make a real randori there.
I got you point Haluk(sorry, can't easily identify your first or last name). I don't know where you live and I think ticket to US doesn't cost extremely much. So you can check everything yourself.
Eugene S I'm living in Istanbul- Turkey, Haluk Üçkurt is my real name, I'm 47 years old, I'm dealing with boxing, wrestling, judo and aikido for years, randori or sparring is my daily pleasure but when I see this horrified guy let's say I'm very frightened to get my elbow or wrist broken and that's why I'm not coming to states
This pisses me off...in a live randori uta nage will get you killed...from a hacidan! When I did my first real randori I stod against 3 hacidan opponents and your pissing away with one move...if tenshin would be that easy?!?
I can appreciate the philosophical aspects of this martial art, even how it may permeate beyond the dojo and into everyday life...But no one can seriously believe that this stuff will work against a strong, fully resisting attacker?
Why are the demonstration guys acting like they are being thrown head over heels when in reality almost none of these techniques would have that effect?
I'm not associated in any way with Lenny Sly or Rogue Warriors. That being said, I signed up for the online training course and it's worth every penny! I've been training in aikido for years. This trainng has only made me better. I love it and highly recommend it! OUTSTANDING LENNY, KEEP IT UP!!!
That explanation of triangle, circle square was never explained better Lenny. Uke's become a collection of energy and nage's at the wheel.
Lenny, always enjoy watching and learning. You have a way of teaching and explain that keeps my interested. Thanks again
Your videos are awesome Lenny. Seriously!

I love the way you did the move's, I have learned so much here! thank you so much!
Great video..Love the work you guys do

Thank you Lenny sensei. Really useful for me, as I prepare for san dan, to get this breakdown and summary of how the elements work together.
Thank you for your demonstration .

Hi, i have to re upload it. I'll be doing that this week, so it will be up very soon. Part 4 will be uploaded first though.
Thank you! The teachings your share with us are so inspiring! With Gassho...
more faleminerit for randori. respekteee
Does this work for the actual fight？
I hope so this works but I am not sure. What do you think guys?
yes this works but it messy! uke aka attacker will not get up in a real confrontation.
That's like asking if boxing training with a bag would work in an actual fight.
Also, it depends what you mean by 'actual'
fantastik video
Hey maybe if u do a video in 360 itll be easy for u to show from all angles
2 guys ? Ya need 3 guys to make it interesting and FUN ! Nice video though. Keep it up !
I like it a lot
