AIKIDO ATEMI -

In this NEW video Aikido Atemi #puttingharmbackintoharmony. Lenny sly sensei of the rogue warriors training compound goes over some striking options that can be used to supplement your aikido techniques. Sly sensei demonstrates off a shomenuchi attack what you can do once the evasion is done and a strike could or needs to be applied to either open up an attacker for a throw or takedown, or to just purely stop an attacker.

As with all of your videos, I really appreciate the nice, clean lines you use in redirecting and entering. You guys do a great job of demonstrating the sword concepts, e.g. footwork, timing, body position that is unique to aikido.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Jissenkan Aikibudo Thank you!

[@rogerbyrd3524]

Very nice stuff Lenny !!! Thanks for your time and effort in making these videos.

[@fujowpaiyingjowpai2885]

I love this!!! And I REALLY love the realness that Lenny has stated! I train to save my life. Not to win a purse or a trophy! So I can relate to his comments.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

fujowpai yingjowpai Thank you. There's a lot video's like this coming.

[@fujowpaiyingjowpai2885]

I look forward to it everyday! Keep it coming!

[@maximuscassius3121]

Dude you are a Maniac...but I like it...and I learn a lot

[@OmniphonProductions]

Videos like this are why I subscribed...and why KZbin needs to add a LOVE icon!!! The intro video was a bit long, but it was also awesome! I noticed another great option once entry is made. Rather than switching hands on the hair grab, maintaining grip with the right hand (when entering from the side shown) also allows for pull-down into some right knee strikes. It's obviously more Muay Thai than Aikido, but (A) a solid knee to the head certainly promotes the goal of knocking the guy out, and (B) it saves the added manipulation of a hand change. To be clear, I loved everything you showed; I'm just offering an additional option. Finally, I love that you included, "Better judged by twelve than carried by six,", "There are no rules on the street,", and, "Prepare for the worst; hope for the best." I have lost track of how many times I have told people ALL of these SURVIVOR'S MINDSET concepts. It's great to see you teaching them, too. P.S. Great to see you...period. I've been away for awhile. Looking forward to catching up on all the videos I've missed. If they're anything like this, I'm in for a great time.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

OmniphonProductions Hey brotha great to see you back on here. Thank you for your great post. All the options that you mentioned, their included in other video's that I have on my online class program. Although I'll be uploading more video's very soon. Thanx again, keep in touch.

[@1m2t10n]

Lenny, you made my Saturday morning! You deserve a dan-bump for the hashtag alone. Really excellent. Thanks for another great vid.

[@jeremysy5467]

First time to hear this technique pulling of hair, thats very practical. Nice idea. Thanks

[@raziel6373]

So excited to see a new video!

[@gr888dad]

Just practice this with my son. I'm going to practice this some more.

[@76carloslegendre]

Espectacular!! 🙏🏻 Oss

[@jordanfrankel-securityexpe8666]

Really loved this particular video. Excellent!

[@bmbb1234]

Thanks Lenny for these videos. Amazing stuff(hand deflections).

[@shannonvo0910]

Love it. Thanks Sensei.

[@luckygambitz6082]

The rogue warriors I like your stuff and how you make things more realistic to what actually would happen. I wanna take a class when I have time to make the trip up there. There's a problem I need to address with you before I do your training. Your opponents often step forward (switching stance) while they strike with the hand that's on the same side as the moving foot. Nobody does this on the street. Only traditional martial artists in the class do it. No one seems to ever notice this huge flaw. It's easy to execute counters when someone attacks you while switching like this so it gives a false sense of your own capability. No one does this in real life I promise. I'm not trying to talk shit either because I love that you make aikido more applicable. I think I can help you by saying this though.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Josh McCormack Ok. Maybe you should do some research. Many boxers and street fighter step and punch with the same hand and foot. Also what I'm showing in this video is striking against an aikido attack, not how someone would exactly strike you on the street. Furthermore.... When I was a bouncer I can day from experience that I've seen more fights in bars and fights outside of bars as well as been in both of those situations that I just mentioned where people did exactly what you say people don't do. Maybe you wouldn't attack or strike someone that way doesn't mean that a million people would do it the same as you. Thank you for posting.

[@keithhill9047]

Great effective technique 👍

[@STOCKBOY-fu5sd]

Real deal this guys no joke#Respect !!!

[@misanthrope4life]

Thanks for the great video mate. I do enjoy them for sure. I wish I had some of this knowledge years ago when I got mugged. And many thanks to your wrist locks video. I actually have been using it in my training and it works.

[@drissedwayn9946]

misanthrope4life but you can't use this in real fight

[@petarspace]

2:35 transition from being badass to a wimp and back was priceless

[@Benji-kr7de]

Amazing video! Keep it up

[@live2win4freedom82]

This by far is my favorite

[@arjaysales7083]

this is what others do not see in our practice that is why they thought aikido is useless.

[@teodorstefanov984]

Yes

[@arshijonkhafan1456]

Nice Move I like that .you are right we should do some thing to defend ourselves.

[@keepcalm3795]

Your videos are so good, but it is only in English, and there are a lot of people that speak Spanish, like me I'm from Spain, and I don't understand all you say, but your videos are very interesting, thanks!! :D

[@drissedwayn9946]

Keep Calm I'm from Morocco and I'm always watching this channel

[@roadrunner734]

Makes complete sence, mr. Lenny sly .....DOES tenshin aikdo work on the st, as I've watched video's on pressure testing and your video's on pressure testing

[@roguewarhead1079]

Beautiful!

[@EduardoGarcia-iz7go]

Thanks is good to know To back home with my family

[@eliolopez3107]

Unless the laws have changed, (and they can vary from state-to-state), is clear that you will not go to jail as long as you are defending yourself and did not start the fight. If a man hits you and walks away and you chase him down and beat him you can be arrested. But if you defend and it's proved you won't be arrested. Unfortunately the attacker can still sue you civilly. But as Sly sensei said, "I rather be judged by twelve than carried by six."

[@JEV308]

Thank you for sharing

[@D.Fletcher]

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6 nails it on the head. If anyone is trying to attack you unprovoked in the street then they are looking to cause you serious harm or mug you. In this context this technique is completely proportionate.

[@mannysuarez2656]

well said

[@paulharding5922]

Yes we have that saying to in the UK to .Keep been plain spoken .

[@mervinmarias9283]

People should try to read the description in the videos and actually listen to what content creator has to say. Quite clearly he is trying to adapt Aikido to modern day combat. What is so hard to understand about that? What I would like to see is his partner using different kind of strikes to show how adaptable the techniques are though.

[@roadrunner734]

Thank you mr. Lenny sly, np......yes it was misunderstanding! My struggle is I do like the variety and the ability that you can get from arts like karate, kicks ect but I do also like the aikido art and what it's meant to do BUT here's the confusion for me, as I notice, aikido "tenshin" is the only one that teaches hand deflections and my believe that's key to make it effective on the st! MR. Lenny........if you HAD to choose between karate or tenshin aikdo.......wich one would you do and why........answer when you can!YES I'm accually really torn on this, they are both good arts

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Yes TenShin is the only style that actually does hand deflections. I’m also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do which basically is Korean karate. So I would continue to study TenShin Aikido. Why? Because I enjoy how TenShin methodology and how you can incorporate techniques within to any art for the most part.

[@theDaddyj1]

Love the real

[@davidwayne9982]

I like this intro MUCH better than that BANGING GUITAR crap that sounds like a rock musician was on dope and losing it.. ha. GREAT VIDEO-- as always.. :)

[@mysite1012]

Sensei, do you have any training videos with the jo?

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

my site Not yet. But I'm putting together a whole online class program on Kenjutsu and JO.

[@mysite1012]

THE ROGUE WARRIORS - Where Warriors are FORGED Thank you very much Sensei. I am new to Aikido, and dont really have time to go to a dojo. Is there any tips you could give me as a new student?

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

my site You can always learn from online classes, which is cheaper than paying to train at a dojo. I offer online classes if your interested. www.roguewarriorstc.com

[@mysite1012]

THE ROGUE WARRIORS - Where Warriors are FORGED Thank you very much Sensei. I will consider it.

[@mysite1012]

THE ROGUE WARRIORS - Where Warriors are FORGED My apologizes sensei, another question. Do you have a store online you can link me to for a bokken or jo?

[@arielolivera8913]

Domo arigato sensei👏

[@campeonmundial4546]

Por favor... Traducir los vídeos al español para poder entender.. Gracias..Máster.. Bs.As Argentina

[@MrFlolos]

Nice video,i practice aikido for about 5 years but still can aplied in real situation , i have a question what to do when you are about to fight but start shaking and feel fear how overcome that in the real situation and even if the attacker is agressive

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

MrFlolos Honestly I don't experience that. I'm not trying to be egotistical so please don't take it as if I am. I was a bouncer for 23 years so I had my fair share of alterations and just got to a point where I didn't get nervous, tunnel vision or have any fear. So I really can't tell you how to over come that, because everyone is different and deal with that their own way. Ya know.

[@MrFlolos]

THE ROGUE WARRIORS - Where Warriors are FORGED thanks for the answer well its kind frustrated couse it dont let one to take action and get beaten just for the tunnel vision and lack of confidence in field i mean in the street fight but thanks for the answer and the honesty

[@adramalech3385]

@MrFlolos You should meditate every day.

[@jordanfrankel-securityexpe8666]

THE ROGUE WARRIORS - Where Warriors are FORGED. In my personal experience you simply don't have time to think - you react and adrenaline instantly kicks in. The only time I remember being frightened is knowing well in advance it was coming. Like the days of being in school and meeting at the 3 o'clock bell. Unfortunately the waiting gives you lots of time to ponder. However on the streets as Sensei Lenny knows better than most anyone - everything happens in a blink of an eye.

[@asteriskcolon]

"If he does NOT have hair, you use the eye gouge to apply that... then you can groin strike, move in, and you can throw" "You okay?"

[@cypresspuz]

PLEASE can you do a video series with normal sport clothes? Many of us have a really hard time watching your footwork with the Aikido pants

[@teodorstefanov984]

cypresspuz yes

[@Royk49]

Nice 🤙

[@Lumabonsai]

Like 🙋

[@yjmsrv]

I'd LOVE to see Lenny get in the ring with some of these "unstoppable" MMA knuckleheads that keep talking about how useless Aikido is and show them how effective it can be. Of course, they would say "you can't do that, that's against the rules, no groin kicks, no hair grabbing, etc, etc, " but it would be the most popular video on KZbin to watch Lenny give them a good beat-down!

[@Markuden]

Well I do both krav maga and mma and I have to say adrenaline (and in my case high pain tolerance) makes hair grabbing and eye gouging​ not that effective. In a real fight you only have your gross motoric skills so you wont be able to grab the eyes that much for example. But the shit he does at 0:33 .... REALLY?! fighting multiple opponents and instead of lining them up so only one at the time can attack you, he runs trough all of them and because they are actors they crash in eachother. That is the worst thing you can do in a multiple opponent streetfight. If only 1 of them grabs you or your shirt you are stuck between 3 guys punching you. If a guy trips you, you are on the ground with 3 people stomping your face.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Says who you lol. Dude you don't even know me, so don't judge a book by it's cover. You have no idea what I've trained in other than aikido.

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

Mark you would be blind if someone ready poked your eye!!!!!

[@edi9892]

Justified defense... I keep hearing it on YT, but I haven't seen much of it. A cop once told me that if I had to defend myself, I should NEVER inform the police! The thing is, that if you go to the police it's like a confession. You're at the PD, whereas the ones that attacked you could be anywhere and the cops probably don't even know their names and they definitely don't have any confessions from them. Still, they need to make a number of arrests to get promoted, so go figure... At a place I know well, a guy started a fight with two innocent people. He was a trained boxer with alcohol in his blood and an entire shelf devoted to his crimes at the PD. He injured both and kept kicking the one on the ground against his head. The other victim didn't see any other way to save his friends life, than taking out his 5cm/2In blade Swiss army knife and stab him in the butt. Surprisingly it stopped the assailant, who got later the minimal sentence for assault, whereas the victim was tried for assault with a deadly weapon and got a longer sentence, since he attacked without warning and from behind... An acquaintance of my mother was once threatened with a gun and she managed to chop the gun out of his hand and crack his jaw with a second strike. Again, she got the more severe sentence, because she was a blackbelt (thus considered equal to being armed) and the other didn't harm her (yet). His gun was fake and it could not be proven that he actually tried to rape her... Both stories are from Germany, but I'm sure that they apply to quite a number of other countries as well.

[@raziel6373]

Leave Germany. Here in the States there is a whole lot less of that bullshit.

[@myrongaines5542]

edi German courts are for the criminals , its ultra liberal therefore not good for the law abiding citizen or victims of crime.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

edi Ok. I'm talking about the United States, I don't live in Germany so their bullshit laws don't apply to me or anyone here in the states. Thank you for commenting tho.

[@edi9892]

It's not so much a problem of being liberal. It's a complex mixture of problems. Most of them can apply to non-liberal countries too: a) states saving money by reducing money on police and justice in good times, but failing to resupply it in time. b) minimal sentence for criminals in order to avoid revision and thus lessen the burden of courts c) punish those that take justice into their own hands, hoping to avoid further escalation (vendettas, people punishing the wrong ones etc.) and keeping down the work load for cops. Also, good guys tend to be too honest to cops and courts. d) Specific to Germany: they fear nothing more than resurgence of right-wing extremists. They thus make some problems taboo (allowing them to grow), crack down hard on vigilantes, militias and even fearing the prepper movement (cops being part of it, will be fired, because who believes in the decline of the state is ill-fit to represent it)...

[@edi9892]

I do remember that cops in the USA are also lacking everything, which results in some manipulating evidence to cut corners and get promotions. Thus, being wary of cops is always a good idea. Also, I do remember that burglars were suing home owners and getting away with it for ludicrous reasons.

[@natanaelsilva121]

👏👏👏

[@VgniK88]

Ur brutal bro good stuff, I would’ve went knee straight to the head ..

[@roadrunner734]

Mr. Lenny sly, you sound offended, first off just so your aware, I messaged you on fb and I went to check another message from my friend I was waiting on and I happened to see the message I wrote to you was gone...... that's ghosting!Second I respect things you have said and your ability and knowledge that's why I asked you your opinion but when a message disappears.....it's ghosting and gives impression that person doesn't want to answer! Third, mr Lenny sly, it does sound as though your upset or offended wich it wasn't meant to be iether of those so if I came across impatient i wasn't trying to but i had impression your ghosted......that's all! I mr. Lenny sly uf I'm ever in the states in your area of chicago Illinois (right) I was thinking maybe dropping by but wasn't sure! I didn't think I was expecting an answer too fast! As I said I wasn't trash talking as I do think you have knowledge I just didn't understand why the message was gone that's all! Thanks for taking the time to reply and it's great if your not upset or offended........it wasn't meant to do iether

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

I’m not upset at all. As for your FB message I have a few people that monitor my pages. So if it was gone I wasn’t the one who deleted it, I rarely if ever delete messages. So I apologize if there’s a misunderstanding.

[@aungthihaphyo3113]

This technique vs IrimiNage. which one is more difficult to apply in the streets?

[@temujinadonijah6365]

Hi I love aikido but is it always necessary that your attacker comes for you in the straight lines all the time?

[@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454]

No. Been there done that. Otherwise you would be defenseless against a left hook for example.

[@roadrunner734]

Yeah....... I tried messaging this guy on facebook kindly asking his opinion and he ghosted me! I appreciate his skill and know how of the arts and won't trash talk in anyway as he's knowledgeable but honestly after being ghosted, I'm done

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Really dude I’m ghosting you. How so because I haven’t gotten around to responding to your message. What do you think that I sit here and wait for people to message so I can message back ASAP. No I don’t. Dude I have a full time job and I’m constantly busy with shit. So relax man I’ll get you when I can.

[@chiayupeng9034]

😂😂

[@FrankDoe]

1 min 16 sec intro!? this guy must get a hard on seeing himself on camera

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Frank Doe Not as much as seeing your mom on cam.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Shut the fuck up troll

[@iijdspartan300]

thats really good but calling it aikido is too much maybe you can call eat aikijujutsu or mma style aikido or phillipino or many other arts but aikido is soft and only a way to become more spiritual at least thats what the official books of the Ueshiba familly write.....so thats your interpretation but nothing else! Aikido its a cult i am 15 years in good for you that you are rolling but you cant deny that is like tai chi or other internal arts as they call them! Continue the videos great ideas.....8-)

[@vestenmason825]

Just depends on what year you look at pre-war Aikido is different than post war Aikido. Or look at Aikibudo

[@bmbb1234]

I honestly have seen tons of pre-war vs. post-war aikido and NONE of it looks like this. Tenshin Aikido is different than all of it. There were NO hand deflections in either pre-war or post-war aikido I have ever seen.

[@bmbb1234]

And Lenny I would add that I heard you podcast with some dude that was interviewing about where Seagal got this and I agree that he had to have studied some form of Kenjutsu because of the precise angles, timing, and especially entering(Irimi) and deflecting. I remember from years ago(back in early 2000s, that either Reynosa or another student of Seagal's said it was Yagyu-shinkage Kenjutsu but it also could have been Kashima-shinto Kenjutsu too. Stanley Pranin did tons of research with Aikido Journal and O-Sensei studies Kashima-shinto ryu as the Aikiken has identical Kata to it.
