Aikido HAND DEFLECTIONS are INCREDIBLE (but why you NEVER see them) | EP8

[@eduardoalvarez2494]

great video and totally agree that we must include pressure testing on our training

[@Dan0rioN]

I like Aikido because there are alot of fight ending moves..

[@Madaster1917]

I need to remember to shave before filming. The camera picks up all the grey on my face. Great work! The footage you retook looks awesome!

Great video. I especially enjoyed the quote from Saotome-shihan. He was most of my teachers’ teacher.

[@kuzushi_kev]

Thanks 🙏

[@RuiChui]

Very informative, with great editing, which also made it fun to watch! Great stuff!

[@kuzushi_kev]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@anastasiafiandaca2888]

Great video, Kevin! I love the humor and movie clips infused throughout, and you make your point well.

[@kuzushi_kev]

Thanks Anastasia!

[@dedydet6646]

I did similar kind of deflect once or twice in mma sparrings but more of a yokomen continued with head grab/clinch. I wish i have more time and energy to spar

[@BadaBarreto]

Ótimo vídeo. Foi no ponto. Em situação real o Aikido serve para fitar, puxar e empurrar. Se der muita sorte sobra um braço para aplicar uma técnica,

[@jtilton5]

@themartialsauce You should check out Nishio Sensei's version of Aikido.

[@Tricepsgod]

Best Channel🔥💪🏻🥊

[@Ken-wn4ul]

well explained sir, i hope you make more videos like this breaking small details of aikido moves😊

[@kuzushi_kev]

@@Ken-wn4ul thank you! I have another coming out very soon in Tenshin Aikido evasions from a push. Stay tuned!

[@Ken-wn4ul]

@@kuzushi_kev do you have a dojo in Philippines ?

[@kuzushi_kev]

@@Ken-wn4ul I don’t own any dojos my friend, if you’re ever in California though, we’d be happy to see you

[@rashidmartialarts9513]

this was my biggest issue with aikido 10 years ago! Glad i left it. Have been training in boxing for the past couple of years.

[@luisgustavoaraizarios6671]

Nice!!!

[@mokusohajime]

Excellent!!!

[@goshuryusc]

Great video. Couldn’t agree more!!!!

[@jasonrudolph491]

Love the video! I do aikido and used to complain about this ALL the time! However- now I only address it in my private training because sadly mainstream aikido just doesn’t care. It’s as if one sees oneself as “above” violence then one will never have to address it Life on their terms but who gets that? It could just happen anywhere and one has to be prepared. The only issue I see that you’re still stepping. through. No one outside a traditional dojo does that- ever. Please put out a video dealing with a jab, rear hand and haymaker ( by far most common punch because most people are untrained). Work in Ukemi to get the hand to go static for a moment and then…………😎

[@mohammedhanif6780]

a haymaker is just a yokemenuchi. if you can handle yokemenuchi then the haymaker is a just a shortened version of it.

[@ericaragon6482]

Are you still training in the Sacramento area? I live in Salinas,Ca. You still train in Ten Shin Aikido? Thanks Eric

[@martialgeeks]

Lost me at "fight the urge to go for the wrist" I keep failing that challenge 😂 (sometimes even with big gloves💀)

[@jacobharris954]

Or you could study Wing chun arm blocks, and I say blocks I mean them in context of defence, basic blocks seen boxing like telephone block crash Kentic energy or recycle the power like pock sau

[@edtheangler4930]

Wing chun goes so well with aikido it's crazy

[@MP-db9sw]

Id love to see some of these techs applied to correct punches. I think some of them have at least some degree of potential. Maybe grab mouth guard and get someone with a couple ammy fights under their belt to work with you?

[@rifki_kus7991]

So in Aikikai style, for example in technique like shomen uchi irimi nage, we have to move off line the attack, to get behind uke, and blend with the attack, but that's mean we move too early, and uke can retract the attack or tracking us right? Thats why we need to deflect first, especially if the attack is honest right? Please explain to me🙏

[@kuzushi_kev]

@@rifki_kus7991 unless you are faster than the uke, it is very difficult to move your body out of the way of a fast slash. It’s possible but difficult. Hand deflections are much easier and more reliable, because even if the uke is faster than me.. I can beat them by using my hands properly

[@marctolbert6941]

That movie clip.. are you saying that was a punch to the face? It wasn't. That was an irimi nage. What are you talking about

[@Ken-wn4ul]

how to practice hand deflection without a partner?

[@kuzushi_kev]

@@Ken-wn4ul you can kind of train the movement by yourself almost like shadow boxing, but in order to get the most value you need to find someone to practice with. That way you understand how your body needs to move to avoid the strike

[@Timbo868]

What about Aikijujutsu ? Everybody worries about aikido's effectiveness. I think it's a great self defense MA, but not so effective in a street fight(depending on the practitioner skill level). I never hear about aikijujutsu. I was told it's more of a battlefield MA.

[@kuzushi_kev]

Aikijujutsu is the father of aikido… it’s an amazing art! I wish I had an opportunity to try it where I live

[@ChinaAikikai]

Blanket statements about all of aikido 🤔. It all depends on where you train and who teaches you m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHSZeIGve8aHoZY

[@kuzushi_kev]

@@ChinaAikikai I agree with you.. I’m generalizing … in my experience finding a good aikido dojo is like finding a needle in a haystack

[@DanTheWolfman]

Still against a B.S. stepping in lunge punch so doesn't even do what it suggests you're going to do. Still completely B.S. that's not how untrained or anyone throws a punch

[@goshuryusc]

Agree. Have to train with jabs, crosses, hooks and rushes. 👍 But the point of the video is bang on, I believe.

[@trumplostlol3007]

If you do real martial arts in slow motion, you get Aikido and Tai Chi. If you speed up all the movements, you may bring them BACK to some real martial art forms. LOL

[@SoldierDrew]

Above the Law demonstrates Tenshin Gakuen Bugei and not orthodox Aikido

[@hammerjulohenao8411]

I respect what you do but you are very deluded if you think these techniques are going to work with one or two people who want to hit you or kick you with full force nobody has reflexes as good as to intercept those blows as you show here I prefer to approach and use the john wick techniques that you showed before but this here is sincerely ridiculous greetings from Colombia
