yea i like this one

The founder of aikido said aikido was 80% hitting (atemi). Something that has been forgotten. In the original rules for students was a comment that they should be very careful using aikido because one blow could kill. When I first learned that I wondered what happened to those skills. The rather silly attacks used in teaching aikido might be studied more and made effective rather than embarrassing.

Were they drunk or what?

I like to learn Aikido because it may come in handy one day.

nice !

Excellent point. In line with O’Sensei’s early beliefs that Aikido was anything that worked using martial principles - plus 80% of ‘interactions’ begin with Atemi. Great video!

Thank you for this. I am a Wing Chun guy and have literally done the opposite. Aikido started to make sense to me from an inside fighting perspective. After you get that first stun strike, you can do Akido all day.

good video, I watched half a dozen other videos on self defense, but this was my favourite

Mixing it up is the way forward. No one style or system has all the answers because the knowledge of past founders was limited because of geography, real fight experience, etc.

I think it's the best mix...

Only works with a fully compliant subject ?

Its the same intichi.

Only do this if someone swings first, that dont mean let em hit but aslong as they,ve swung first you can do this

About 3/4 of the way through the video lost sound.

Real beautiful moves, I love this channel

No Damage needs to be done to anybody...just empty fist, good banter and being a good Bouncing cooler! I worked doors in Blackpool before SIA cards were needed, a Veteran, lived on the streets, saw ahit took more shit...youre technique is aggressive dude...want to take someone out, do it, behind the club in an alley, want to show off, youve done it on 'KZbin'...dont piss about I have seen guns and knives on the doors...Good obs skills wins, not showing off brother!

Given up on Aikido, have you?

Meanwhile, here on ‘Chaos Island’, aka Hong Kong… Thank You for the ‘Shout Out’ to what we get up to. (Not Exactly….) Love you Guys!

Amazing! I've got a lil question for both of you. Did you incorporate Wing Chun's Straight Blast in your Aikido? Steven Seagal did! D'you know why? Because he's ABOVE THE LAW! haha the way Steven punches that board in one of his films makes him HARD TO KILL...Anyway, keep pushing, guys! Love ya vids and ya great sense of humour! ( Oh yeah, in OUT FOR JUSTICE, Steven uses a combo of 3 Wing Chun punches, kind of a straight blast against the guy that says : '' I like pain, you know! '' )

Try doing any of this while rufied.

Wouldn't boxing work well with aikido also?

Tan Sao or Spreading Hand is a great technique. The key to wing chun is everything is going forwards towards your opponents spine to break their centre of equilibrium. The tan sao acts as a spiral, so when your forearm crosses your opponents, the rotation of the forearm and turn of your hips moves their arm and upper body off centre. Rather than a clash and chasing of the hands

Steven Segal is a loser and also a rapist.

i was thinking about adding muay thai but that works too

One thing people have to understand about Akido is that it’s looks all pretty in the dojo due to certain factors but in the street it’s dirty but just as effective.

However I would suggest an open hand strikes as opposed to clased fists as suggested by Rickson Gracie.

Also tai sabaki. You could also use the low level kicks / from wing chun.

Excellent

It’s works within the realm of aikido but is mostly ineffective in mma

Not many people know that Steven Seagal not trained wing chun only with sifu Sam Kwok,but also trained wing chun with sifu Randy Williams in 90's and after he implement a lot of wing chun techniques to his style,especially in movie Glimmer Man

I like FMA for cross training, check it out!

When I was practicing Aikido thirty years ago I thought, man, some Wing Chun or Jeet Kune Do would work great with this!

Shoulda been a 3 second video

It is all about body position, and wing chung entry does put you into good positions for Jujutsu-Aikido

Right on!💯🙂✊🏾👍✌️!

Can you say..."Jeet Kune Do?" (LOL Someone already beat you to this method). But it was a good tutorial. Thanks.

Sounds a bit confusing

bullshido

I always thought learning Wing Chun would be a benefit for the Aikido practitioner. Great video. I'd like to see this explored further.

This is very good as always adaptation allows knowledge and insight into every way to succeed and gives the proper way to go about having the next move plan ahead and what to possibly expect and what to possibly be prepared for which is to be the very best and to put the enemy down for good no mercy no hesitation no restraint same thing with weapon usage no matter this way or that way all arts are designed to be fun cool and to be the very best of course no rules in a street fight eliminate your target there well done

Embarrassing garbage.

Using no limitation as a limitation

Really good ideas.. my friend specialised in Wing chun ... Good to see the mix .

Of course.. it complete perfectly

As Lee himself said, "absorb what is useful" .. KEEP ON GROWING, AIKIDOFLOWERS!

The Wing Chun block that Azu uses is a Tan Sao.

Yes!

cuz u rellay couldnt got a grip???

When yo shared your arts with another martial artist years ago at Barbados and you heared a wow from an Aikido practitioner, guess nufff said... Maybe you see this video Brian, I was impressed by your techniques too

I think someone needs to combine Aikido and Wing Chun, in fact just train Real Jeet Kune Do Wing Chun practioner with doorman experience would be bad ass, Aikido doesn’t work the best as primary weapon, Wing Chun is better on the reception and meeting an attack
