Mr Stenudd Congratulations on your 10,000 subscriber. This compilation provides a wealth of information for various techniques.

Lots of people are too stupid to understand what is happening in this video. It is a pure pleasure to watch, so much is happening with the bear minimal movement. Some Karate people can see the beauty here, thank you.

[@saucysultanandhisangryraco1227]

so what *is* happening in the video?

[@baronvictor]

Congratulations! Thank you for all the videos

Dear Stefan, I am doing Aikido in a club that practices the Kitaura line. In my individual training sessions, I began to study according to your video lessons. According to this video, I have conducted two classes and have not yet completed all the techniques. Of course, we do all this at the club. But I like the way you combine techniques from a single attack. It is well absorbed. Thank you!

[@StefanStenudd]

Dear Андрей, I am glad that you appreciate it and find use for it.

Very nice ballet...it is so gracefull...thank you for this performance

[@StefanStenudd]

Thank you Goran, but I'm the first to admit that I'm nowhere near the skillful grace of ballet ;)

[@karatedoryugiki959]

Magnifique ! c'est toujours un plaisir que de découvrir les techniques de cet art !

[@newchapter6840]

Very nice aikido.

[@jate0001]

Mycket intressanta videos lägger du upp Stefan! De inbjuder till tankar och reflektioner kring kampkonst/kampsport. Jag har stor respekt för dig som kampsportare! Jag träffade dig för många år sedan på ett Sverigeläger. Fick stor respekt för för dig redan då. Tränade för Ulf men jag valde en annan väg när det gäller kampsport. Jag ser fram emot fler filmer!

I like the technique of shoving someone away that's over committing to a punch. Here have some wall. That's what people do in street fights so it works

[@terciary]

Please, defense against punchers. Not against runners.

[@stuartpaul9211]

Japanese form drills can be overly ritualised in Aikido so they become out of context with reality. But from what I've researched about aikido, the founder deliberately did that because he intended the forms not for self defence but mind/body exercise. hence they're more of a ritual harmony. As the defender you'd never leave your face and body open to someone punching, and they'd never in a million years do a step through, punch , stop and leave arm extended. But I can see the left parry, downwards block then elbow smash to the face. The aikido forms with knives should never be sold as self defence, they'll get someone killed. again, no nutter will attack you in one direction and how their arm out for you, and you're going to get cut to shreds. Even a cut to the forearms can kill you. Japanese medieval soldiers had leather and metal plate armour to protect them from cuts as they performed such grappling techniques to disarm a weaponised opponent. Taking the risk as a professional soldier in a period of history used to blood and gore is different to modern day self defence stood there in jeans and t-shirt.

[@lunelie7724]

True, for the founder aïkido IS an art, to connect with kami (gods) and a modern way to train body/mind for japanese and people (sport). But, most aïkidoka though that it can work in real attack. Aïkido can ben dangerous for aïkidoka.

[@Menyhard]

Like sir

[@jetn8654]

Grrrrrrr... He is delivering his center to you on a platter. His punch has no intention, other than to occupy the space next to you, of course you can follow up with good looking technique. Let him actually try to hurt you, with consciousness that he must not lose his center/balance (like a boxer does). Then there are extra steps to deal with him, or else you WILL get hurt. Please develop these beautiful techniques so they are useable against real fighters.

[@AikiTom76]

J ETN this is an aikido technique that has it secret

[@jetn8654]

@@AikiTom76 My problem is not with the technique but with the attack. It has no real intention or intelligence, therefore, it is quite difficult to develop the technique and instincts adequately.

[@AikiTom76]

At first sight, outsider tend to underestimate the quality of the punch and the intensity, and pls stop compare aikido to MMA, we learn aikido is to know aikido not MMA

[@paulbalko8139]

@@jetn8654 It's all about timing.This is cuki but it's exactly the same as a punch.When someone wants to hit me, I unblock the punch and go to the side.Then I'll do the technique.(I'm so sorry for my bad English)

@dangerdavefreestyle, I didn't know that. Probably because of the roundabout movement.

If someone tries these moves against some dude with even an average practice of boxing, s/he'll get a quick & nasty KO just in a few seconds.
