Aikido Sparring: for Teacher pt2

[@ChungsMartialArts]

You truly seem to be solving this puzzle in a way that makes sense. Thank you for sharing so much.

[@ChuShinTani]

Thanks for watching!

[@ian485]

This is superb! I really like your tactical take on the whole thing. I wish we did that in my dojo when I trained - would not have ditched Aikido

[@onikenji88]

Thank you so much for sharing your aikido research with us !

[@vesaliusnotdead]

This approach makes sense both from my understanding of Aikido and also self defense. Thank you

[@NinjaAttorneyAtLaw]

This has been super insightful. Thank you so much.

[@JeanMichelAbrassart]

Nice! I really like how you created alive training for aikido!

[@cagedraptor]

just found your channel. went back to the early videos for a bit and then thought I'd check out the present. Enjoy your channel.

[@ChuShinTani]

Glad you like it!

[@franciscordon9230]

I really liked this video and learned from this drill!!!

[@ChuShinTani]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrSamurai137]

You are on to something here

[@yarrowmadrona7252]

This is a great way to use live drills. Only one school out of at least 5 I have trained at even did just the evasion part but without the live aspect. The only incredibly depressing part is that there is no way on earth we are ever going do this where I train. Oh well, I guess you need to take the best of what your teacher is interested in and offering you.

[@ChuShinTani]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@RichardBejtlich]

These are great drills. We did the unarmed evasions in Krav Maga too, although it wasn’t systemized. It was just the “Zombie drill.” :)

[@ChuShinTani]

Glad you like them!

[@positiveandhealthy2728]

Thank you so much… I am looking forward to more

Hey, I wanted to ask you, what's your view on Tomiki Aikido and those "competitive" style matches?

[@ChuShinTani]

I think Shodokan (Tomiki) Aikido is cool.

[@AskmntrAV]

I m really curious about the metronome at the background! My guess is you use it to set a pace sometimes?

[@ChuShinTani]

Yes, we use it for timing drills.

[@AskmntrAV]

@@ChuShinTani That s great!! I always thought it would be a useful tool but i ve never seen anyone use it. You re great btw! Really enjoy your work!

[@ChuShinTani]

@@AskmntrAV thank you! Glad you enjoy my work!

[@rashidmartialarts9513]

[@ChuShinTani]

Thanks!

To make it short: 1. Aikido isn't a fighting martial art cause it has no sparring. 2. Aikido is an art about 'getting out' of your opponent territory. Yes it's better not even in lion territory than facing the lion head on. Because you brought this up. Isn't aikido the only martial art who deal in this distance? The other one would be capoeira, tricking, & bagua zhang. Edit: Let say you solve aikido problem by a lot. Now, it might be out of topic, what's your solution to martial art that dealt in close range but not being a grappling art? What's your solution to wing chun? They clearly not long distance martial art.

[@ChuShinTani]

That's about right. The solution to those arts is the same- be aware of what is going on, make energetic accords early (make friends), keep distance, keep position, get suppression- if all that fails reset with kumiuchi. If you can't do any of that, you should use other systems for their prospective ranges/contexts.

[@tavtav3526]

@@ChuShinTani your answer surprisingly good enough ppl can't hate it lol. I also train wing chun that's why I ask this question. Edit: Thank you for your answer. I also think of good content for you. Can you make a video about how aikido can be a good use to other martial art? Recently I watched some wrestling technique on yt. The technique is something called 'russian neck tie'(?). I amazed on finding that it's basically half shihonage execution, but I know no one will approve it since aikido have bad reputation lol.
