It was nice to see a clear explanation of the knuckle into the nerve thank you

[@nikosskeptikos6295]

one of my favourite instructors, another great video, so much information and I appreciate the humour!

We, as non-Japanese, are so very lucky. We have freedom. Something that the Japanese have no idea of. You can freely talk about things, and not get into trouble. But, to do that in Japan, is heracy and you would be quickly put back into line, or outcast. A totally different world. I am enjoying your conversations none the less. You put across valid points. As you said, ,most attacks are from the sword. I have also heard that, from day one, that Aikido comes from the sword. Yet, I have yet to see any aikido practitioner, Japanese or otherwise, who has studied the sword, or holds any rank in a real traditional sword style. I was fortunate enough to study Yagyu Shinkage-Ryu, a 600-year-old traditional Japanese sword style, when I lived in Japan. I found out, through the late Stanley Pranin (the late editor of Aikido Journal) that O-Sensei also studied Yagyu Shinkage-Ryu. That particular sword style finally made things click, make sense, in relation to Aikido techniques. The mind, body, spirit is the same in sword as it is supposed to be in Aikido. The similarities to what O-Sensei wrote about Aikido, mind/body/spirit and this particular sword style is same/same. All the very best. Paul Araki-Metcalfe in Western Australia

I had any interesting conversations with Stan over the years, a lovely man, he even translated some stuff for me to do with saito Senseis earlier years. I chose a long time ago not to follow blindly a koryu, but instead to surround myself with good people and to apply a scientific method to training, constantly examine and never take anything as "gospel" unless evidence supports it. You are spot on that many Aikidoka quote "the sword" as thier heritage with little or no real understanding.

Outstanding , always learning even after 48 years of Aikido. Domo Sensei

Hey Robert thanks for the kind words. We try to be open and promote the sharing of knowledge as it benefits us all.

"Why hurt people if you don't need to" = best martial quote

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

Absolutely. I think in the age of mma we sometimes forget that

[@CarlaCasteneda]

not one of the techniques I find I can apply on a lot of people especially with thick wrists but this made a good point about the nerve strike beings less important which i agree with

[@mushotoku_ro]

thats my vision too From my experience . thank you for sharing your opinion Sensei

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

good to hear! Welcome to the channel!

[@NeightWolf49]

Always enjoy seeing you as the instructor. Great stuff! I enjoy your teaching methods and delivery.

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

Appreciate the kind words !

[@sahh7089]

Thank you !

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

You are welcome

[@Clarity2020Australia]

very good class

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

thank you very kind of you to say so

[@vano-559]

You get quite close to joint lock basic ideas from Daito-ryu. If you want to search in this way you may consider to stop pulling limbs to make lock and also try to take uke's balance without pushing him but lifting him like in Judo. It makes your techniques quite soft and powerful.

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

Looked into that about 20 years ago, for a smaller guy like me with a spinal deformity (kyphosis) and knackered shoulders that route isnt very effective, but I do teach it sometimes if I think it would be useful for the particular student. thanks as always for contributing

@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE Aiki people usually strong not 'cause of their athletic conditions. Take care of your health.

[@Clarity2020Australia]

@@vano-559 Sensei often shows variations to different students depending on their physical limitations like mine (old, crap lol) or their jobs like with our prison guards and police officers

[@tandendo]

All you need is thumb and index finger, which acts like a bottle opener, to apply yonkyo which transfer a pulse through the opponent's elbow to his shoulder finally to his tanden. I learned I need to grab with pinky. I found out that it was all wrong.

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

Good points - as I say early on in the video, MANY ways to apply this but I'm never very convinced by this when applied as "Just a nerve strike"

[@tandendo]

@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE I do not mean any nerve strike. It is about leverage and wave transport. nerve strike is a bonus. you should try thumb and index finger method. It surprisingly works well. Imagine a can tapper to make a hole on a can. It would work exactly like that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l37Koqhpp993mbM

[@RetrogasmicPodcast]

I never really understood why this technique was the "4th teaching" of Aikido when it seems so ineffective on many people.

[@jdaimaoh765]

It Is 4th because It Is hard to understand
