Aikido Demonstration - Suzuki Toshio Shihan - Kagami Biraki 2023 - 1/4

Aikido Demonstration during the 2023 Kagami Biraki & Budo Hajime, at the Nippon Budokan.
Throwing techniques by Suzuki Toshio, 6th Dan, Shihan.
Uke: Arima Hayato, 3rd Dan, Shidoin.
Aikido is a contemporary martial art founded mid-20th century by Ueshiba Morihei.
The founder studied several Japanese traditional martial arts while pursuing an intense spiritual practice. This leads to the transformation of the techniques, from “Jutsu” or “technical application” to “Do”, “the Way”, implementing a focus on the development of the practitioner’s character.
The founder used to say: "True martial arts are not meant for competing with techniques that rely on strength, but are a way for those who seek self-perfection".
Today’s demonstration consists of throwing techniques, grappling techniques, defense against knife, and free techniques, by a delegation from the Aikikai Hombu Dojo, the Aikido world headquarter.
The Kagami Biraki is a traditional ceremony that translates to "opening the mirror" (symbolically).
Taking its roots in the Shogunate, it is strongly linked to Budo practice and, naturally, the Budo Hajime (the first practice of the year) is celebrated simultaneously.
At the Nippon Budokan, the ceremony is held at the beginning of January and consists in:
- The Kagami Biraki, with a historical reconstruction (in armor).
- Budo Demonstrations (by the 9 "official Budo").
- Budo Hajime (the first practice of the year, all practitioners present can practice).
- The Oshiruko kai. “Oshiruko” is a traditional and popular sweet azuki bean paste soup with mochi (which symbolizes sharing the mochi that was broken before during the ceremony). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this last part has been canceled for sanitary reasons.

[@FreeSalesTips]

Your confusion is thinking that aikido is supposed to be a fighting style. This is a big mistake to attribute to aikido. Aikido was a martial art that was intended to be anti-fighting - the aikido defender cannot fight by using aikido skills. There is a strict dichotomy between fighting and aikido; anytime the aikido defender starts fighting, that defender absolutely cannot use aikido skills.

[@ryohamaru2272]

if not cooperate, attacker just smashing down to the ground. then you can use leg or hit him with another hand

Ho many people expert in all the martial arts in the comments?

[@ruialmeida818]

I usually dislike Aikikai's demonstrations and exhibitions, as they tend to be a bit sloppy. This one, however, is brilliant. His movement is much more similar to Takemusu than the run-of-the-mill Aikikai. Very nice to watch - if only every person posting aikido videos was half as good as Suzui Shihan is. I find that most people that post Aikido videos online are delusional about how good they are. 9 in 10 youtube videos of Aikido are horrible... Then you have people like Rokas, who thinks himself an expert because he is a first dan or whatever - I can guarantee that he wouldn't qualify for 3rd kyu in the dojo I train, let alone 1st dan...

[@MrQuest3]

Agree

[@piotrd.4850]

I was intrigued initially, but after he dropped few "discoveries" that were taught on my 3 month 'introductory' course to total noobs I got suspicious of Rokas. Can you elaborate on your point?

[@ruialmeida818]

@@piotrd.4850 Well, in most demos I see and arguments I see online, I find that people's techniques are lacking, and/or their interpretation is lacking. Take Rokas for example, when he went and try to do randori, he kept trying to do a technique (I believe it was kotegaeshi), when his opponent was 'closing', and he kept insisting, without any adjustment. His attitude was complacent, not active. His approach alone should be evidence enough - when he did randori as a mma practitioner, his attitude had changed - if he had the same complacent attitude doing mma, he would have had the same difficulties. People's egos tend to get in the way - a lot of people are convinced their technique is better than it actually is. Then you have people like mori shihan, that NEVER makes videos for youtube, and he is brilliant. Rokas also mentioned something in one of his first videos - that he trained for 13 years, and he was a second or third dan, and was teaching - I've been trainig for 15 years, and just got my first dan. Never taught, and I'm a long way to feel like I'm teacher material. That was already a red flag for me - aikido has a long learning curve, and I seriously doubt you'll be a good 1st dan with 13 years, let alone a 3rd dan... Finally, a lot of dojos have what I like to call 'the business approach', and this is not exclusive to Aikido - people don't like to get corrected, especially in the west, and they don't like to feel that they are failing or still learning, so, dan grades tend to be distributed like candy, without many criteria. Our dojo is small, and we don't get a lot of students (a lot of them quit and go to other dojos), because we actually care that our students learn and perform properly.

Funny you say that because the scenario of an opponent who chooses not to attack is indeed a good outcome. When that opponent escalates beyond debating with words or simply walking away, the opponent will use their energy to strike or throw the other guy. This is when the aikido defender will actively use the opponent's resistance against the opponent himself.

[@billh.1940]

This is the formal movement. You are practicing with friends, not a real fight, we don't try to hurt each other, but In a street fight the balance, foot movements come in handy, as you poke out attackers eyes and knee him in groin. Then take him down and dislocate his shoulders. Have fun kiddies!

Aikido is no longer a valid 'martial art'. Anyone trying to use Aikido in a street fight would get slaughtered. Any practitioner will look good if the other person is good at following through with attacks. However, on saying that, I thoroughly enjoyed the four years I spent practising Iwama Aikido.

[@FreeSalesTips]

Aikido is very much a martial art. The biggest problem is that too many people have a poor comprehension of the meaning of aikido and therefore they will probably fail aikido in the scenario of a typical street fight. The name of 'aiki' within aikido can be translated as 'energistic harmony'. A very big problem that people have is that they fail to achieve the state of aiki and therefore their movements are rendered meaningless. So what many people need to do is to expand their consciousness in a way that allows them to achieve physical harmony within an instant. The consciousness of too many people are too low whenever they encounter a street fight scenario.

Have you ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect Every art has a viability. Even if you can't see it immediately. You're selling yourself short by writing off any art. Then again, I'm assuming that you know and or practice ANY martial arts, and not some couch sitting, arm chair "expert."

I don't like this This is not aikido This is jukaido

[@arflabrelote1628]

As beautifull as it is, it is close to 100% useless in actual fight !

[@alexandrealves2877]

Of course. On the street, such a master kills an opponent with a single move, that much is obvious.

[@OneLoneMan]

Oh, no, we got a Chuck Norris on our hands. So how many people have you killed with your bare hands? 🤡

Aikido is a form of choreographed dance at best. It is completely useless in a self defense or a street fighting scenario.

[@alanpower8234]

Sounds like someone who has not trained real or any AIkido seriously for any period of time. Easy answer is from experience you are wrong, but as im practicing aikido right now I have to say I agree to disagree.

[@piotrd.4850]

@@alanpower8234 Because most of the time aikido is taught and explained badly, and taught badly, limiting to choreography only, without ANY GPP or physical conditioning necessry in EVERY sport and most importantly, taught without explaining were and how it was built to be used.

[@OldBeauty-op2cu]

Are you practicing Aikido? or at the best you are only talking?
