That problem only arises when the angle between body and arm is less 90 degrees or less. The knees also need to be placed such that one is back of the arm and the other into the lower ribs, However, nice variation, but likely to be tricky in hakama.

This is a very high intensity 3 kyu grading, fasntastically demonstrated, congrats. I haven't seen head lock sankyo and kotegaeshi from fisting before. Very interesting.

Excellent stuff

well,it's not legal to walk around with a jo handy,so,strike one in the courts.Two,you might get glockswitched by a 13 year old.these people don't live on the streets and are as far removed from the reality of street danger as you could imagine.I suggest the Bruce and his 'gang".as they call themselves to go down to 12th and Jackson at 2 am and practice.

Ganbatte!

So the leg sweep is an atemi??

Marvelous!!!

踊り、ダンスやね

Learned something again!

Exceptionally clear teaching.

So helpful!

Solid

Thanks for sharing 👏👏👏🙏🏿

Good thanks! This is useful for my upcoming 1st Kyu grading. Practical part where you defend against someone with boxing gloves is a nice touch!

PHILOSOPHY THE KI TO WAR PaulTeich©️03/15/2024 My hands My hands have pounded rice My hands of hounded beans My hands have pale pebbles My hands have pounded rock My hands have been jabbed through buckets of all of these things My hands have broken boards My hands are broken five boards My feet have broken boards I broke five boards with my feet My hands have pounded railroad ties My hands have pounded telephone polls My feet have pounded telephone polls My hands have pounded trees My feet have pounded trees My arms, my legs, my body have been pounded by sticks Boken Hanbo Roku shaku bow And the iron arm I have been beaten broken I have beaten and broken I remember the snap of my tibia and fibula I have felt the sting of nunchuku As I have felt the soft throw sending me aloft 6 feet in the air and across the mat of Aikido I have felt the hip throw of Hapkido I have felt the highflying kick of tae kwon do I have been brutalized and amazed by Koga Ru ninjutsu I remember elements of Okinawan Kenpo Chinese Kenpo And American Kenpo And there was praying, mantis kung fu And jukafushido There’s more But I’m old now And I have only my grandchildren to teach my kung fu And the knowledge that we train and harden ourselves, so that we can be soft and know when not to fight Two hands must join together as their energies must join in common cause to form a throw and go in the same direction The one who knows that can redirect the other, and cause peace or submission, and end all fighting The one who knows that Can redirect the evil ones ki Like, stepping into the path of the sword Can place you in heaven #peaceandlove #martialartsjourney #ceasefirenow

interesting!

🥱

i see use too much force..

This was fun to watch! Congratulations to Ellen!

If this is shodan test why are they already wearing black belts?

Only works with a cooperative opponent.

Um. This is only in demonstration.

Excellent!

Good stuff as always.

Nice and simply explained even I got it😅

Uke lives matter!

What was it?? in aikido, use free sparring during the exam??

Super! Thanks)

Saludos desde México!!! Soy Yolanda, tengo 79 años, empecé a practicar AIKIDO a los 72 años, adaptado a silla de ruedas pues tuve un evento cerebro vascular, mi hijo sensei Julio Herminio Ramírez Alvarado del Dojo Tenayuca, de la Ciudad de México, es quien me ha capacitado, me he recuperado y mantenido muy bien. EXCELENTE SU AIKIDO!!!

You may have something to say that is of interest to me. I would not know because you mumble. If you post anything on KZbin have a look at it. If it is no good - fix it.

I like the takedown to the arm bar. Definitely effective. But why switch to nikyo from there?

Wow. Wonderful 🎉 practice. Well deserved Shodan.

Always great videos. Thanks for sharing.

An exemplary shodan test that sets a high bar. Deeply impressed.

👍👍👍

👍 Thank you sir !

I'm a first dan in Shotokan Karate. I should of been a higher degree but like everything in life things got in my way. Over all I have such respect for Aikido. During my years in karate as a student I was always on the receiving end of a technique. Understanding pressure point using gravity against someone strong or taller is crucial especial pain. In recent years you see people in law enforce, military using such technique but they don't understand the fundament of what they are doing when applying such practice on others. The ending result can be deadly. Great video thankyou so much for posting this. Much respect....

How many people would be so compliant in an attack? 😆

Uke needs to "mindlessly" commit to the attack. He was falling before nage touched him.

You must be joking.

😂😂😂🤣

Is there ever a real attack in aikido?

The best grading in aikido ever😊

I've been studying aikido for over 30 years now and Sensei and Kaicho, this was an awesome test, this young fellow was doing the best he could. You taught him well. I enjoyed very much. (And i actually learned something) i found the suwari waza and the koshinage exceptional and he kept on going no matter what.... admiration! Arigatou!

Looks great at 10 %

Good luck using that in a street fight.

You did it well!!

Awesome - I miss training with you guys!!
