[@MrQuest3]

I have been practising aikido for 33 years and recently went to see a close friend teaching jujitsu in a 'gym' and my honest opinion, despite being great on the ground and one- to- one , there was no soul in the class. Aikido is magic and has class.

[@goodboyringo9716]

Aikido looks easy to learn but it isn't easy. You will fall in love with Aikido cause it is a beautiful art and the feeling you get is great.

[@cagedraptor]

Aikido, for me, helps me balance out my Kali and Bjj / MMA aggression. Always enjoyed my Aikido classes that much more after a cage fight. Always helped calm and balance all that aggression and high energy that I always had afterwards. Plus I no longer train as dedicated in bjj but I still am dedicated to my Aiki. The older I am getting the more Aiki I find myself.

[@guillaumeerard]

Thanks a lot, I wrote that music. I have added the link to the itunes version.

[@Fercelon]

The movement was so smooth. In aikido, producing a minimum sound when tumbling means a small impact force was received.

[@whitemike42085]

Aikido is a beautiful art that can be practical in a fight doing lets say a arm bar or a throw. It really teaches us to let go of strength and use lead. Breaking balance and staying slightly ahead of our opponent momentum to create a dynamic throw or take down. I study jujitsu that has many aikido techniques built in. Its so hard to get a irimi but when you do it feels effortless. I love this style and I believe aikido really shows the art in martial arts.

[@danvovil6154]

If you have been locked or thrown by a Shihan, you would know this is not fake. The flow of the uke is also to protect against injury.

[@Freak1David]

The movement, suddenly makes me experience a peace deep down inside my heart.

[@alexandradelasmercedesrosa8429]

Its Whats the picture Brings to a person a practical school of defence

[@bucephalus1257]

I don't practice Aikido, but this just looks beautiful. Even though I train Ju Jitsu and Judo, there is no doubt for me that Aikido is the most aesthetic.

[@n.v.c.apellaacapella1026]

Unfortunately, we still need a partner to learn this, cause we can't imagine a beautiful art move of aikido when we don't have a partner.

[@laurentlouisducourretgravereau]

Toujours aussi beau. Toujours un plaisir de voir une fluidité de l'énergie. Bravo pour cette belle démonstration. Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo

[@dvlasseros]

great music for a great demostracion.

[@samuraitokugawa8663]

I love Aikido, a really beautiful technique !

[@HybridExlo]

This Beautiful Song makes it even nicer to watch :)

[@SiggaMaya]

beautiful, like flowing water, serene in its fast movements

[@baptistchrisjohn]

Awesome video,very flawless and graceful moves.Thank you for sharing with us,it's good for those who are into martial art self defense programme.

[@charlesrmday]

Great Aikido + Great Music + Great Video = Favourite!!

I just enjoyed watching it so much lol. Thanks for uploading!

[@fiabeantiche8187]

Very, very clever and elegant!

Beautiful demonstration.

Excellent video, excellent music. Thank you!

Très belle démonstration. Merci pour le partage. Lionel

This video is really great! Domo arigatou!

[@major4487]

Aikido is a spirit of love ,Aikido is the art of melody, like bale,it support and grow up physo. of human.Yes it is endless melody...

[@Decarabia87]

absolutely magnificent

[@Rockabilly4896]

Thank You very much for this explanation! Yes I know, I was just wondering because in demonstrations of other systems they always had punches and kicks. But now I understand:)

[@aitotskieyamada6843]

the gentle touch aikido. hi respect.

[@AlexandreOliveiraAlex]

it s wonderfull to see... it s pure art... biomecanic... simply amazing... it s all around the KI...

[@gabrielalicea4803]

This is beautiful to watch.

[@brahmin21]

beautiful flow....

[@richmann2264]

I’d like to see a video of aikido in REAL LIFE SITUATIONS... Not “principles”, but the TECHNIQUES being used!

[@guillaumeerard]

Internet is not real life

[@richmann2264]

Guillaume Erard - Aikido in Japan - No reason you can’t get a surveillance video of an incident or a video of a fight. That is REAL LIFE. Aikido today seems to ONLY be demonstration. That may have caused you to not know the difference between demonstration and REALITY! I think the problem is THERE IS NO VIDEO OF AIKIDO TECHNIQUES BEING USED IN REAL LIFE! That would be half acceptable except for those who claim they DID use it in real life...

[@Religious_man]

@richmann2264, I'm with you there. I also like to see Aikido techniques on someone that involves weapons. I mean, what attacker is going to use a stick during a robbery? How can using a stick be an Aikido technique? A stick is used to beat someone to a pulp with it. See what I mean? Some of these Aikido techniques makes me skeptical. They don't seem to have that much of relevance in reality. So yeah.

[@vikychan1818]

Excellent. Thank you for the video.

[@kenp0jitsu]

Excelente música para una gran demostracion de este este sistema. Paz y armonía en conjunto. Osss!

[@mbuhplus7800]

Just, WOW!

[@islandsedge]

Nice footage Guillaume

[@cranemp161]

Beautiful.

[@6462nightmare]

For all those saying that Aikido is fake and useless in a fight: Aikido was never developed as a martial art for fighting or killing. Aikido was developed by O-Sensei as a way of life. A way of finding peace and harmony with everyone and everything. Aikido certainly has self-defense aspects to it that work wonderfully when applied (individual aspects like wrist locks, energy flow and redirection, arm bars, all the good stuff), however the art focuses more on preventing yourself from getting in to a situation where you are put at risk. Spacial awareness, even things like looking around a street before and whilst walking along it, looking around at people that may cause trouble are all things that can help prevent the need for anger, aggression and violence. This is what is taught in Aikido. "Aikido, a way of harmony with nature, with oneself, and with others" - Sensei Tony Deckers (6th Dan).

[@AsianAmerican2007]

1 month of being in an Aikido class, I has a lot of skepticism until I was chasing my son around a parking lot, he is only 2! but then I tripped over a parking edge and at the first moment of losing my balance I was like.. oh great, this is gonna hurt, then my muscles automatically (as if it had a mind of its own!) aikido rolled! A bystanders watched me and clapped his hands, my son stopped and was trying to mimic the roll. My wife was like.. "WTH? Was that an aikido thing?" im 3 months into aikido, and out of all the martial arts ive taken (karate, shaolin goju, krav maga), aikido is the most cerebrally difficult, deepest and most different martial arts ive taken.

[@AsianAmerican2007]

Lol excuse... like I said..aikido not perfect.

[@jamesc2545]

Daniel Sneesby aikido does not work as a self defense.

[@Udansha]

@@jamesc2545 yes it does, ask a police officer whos used it. By the way, that officer is me

[@mikegallagher1833]

I have learned that people who criticize everything (including Aikido) is based on fear of the unknown. You actually fear it because you don't know anything about it; other than a video or movie you watched - so you dismiss it as ineffective. In my 40 plus years of practicing Aikido, I have had to use it twice on the streets. It did not end well with them because they don't know how to fall or roll. What you watch in demonstrations are trained in ukemy and the nage knows how to protect them when he performs the technique. They trust each other and this is a basis for harmony between the two. He could very easily break a limb or dis-joint with any of the techniques - but he knows how to control an attacker. Perhaps you don't see the attacks of Shomenuchi, Yokomenuchi, or Munetsuki very often in videos but they are practiced in Dojos. Why don't you take a week of classes and see how "easy" it is? You may come away with a different perspective.

[@user-ko5nt4ym2l]

Beautiful!

[@VernonMcGuffee]

It's beautiful.

[@kellysteveson6854]

I think you are correct, I started training at Midatlantic Aikido before I moved to Iatly and he was great

[@darkangelargentina111]

Que belleza , muy inspirador .

[@guillaumeerard]

Sure, anytime!

[@IsleenMilligan]

To go a little more in depth, at least in my dojo, we treat kicks much the same way we treat punches. A forward kick is the same as a munetsuki, a side kick is the same as yokomenuchi and so on. And the core principle is that if they raise their leg, and you avoid the kick, you've already won. Aikido is about leverage, and there's no better leverage to have on uke than when he has only one foot on the floor.

[@ahatettikia]

Superbe. Les déplacements en suwari waza de waka sensei me laissent rêveur...

[@TomTreeMan]

The uke makes his attack predictable not to make the technique easier for the demonstration but to keep from being injured it looks choreographed but it isn't the hands are in the same position they would be in if the uke were striking with a sword bat pipe stick etc FYI the class wouldn't progress very well if we all had broken wrists and shredded ligaments, they're no fun!

[@Udansha]

So beautiful

[@Udansha]

Thank you!!!

[@jbrown1138]

Really wonderful video demonstrating Aikido. Now when someone asks me, "what is Aikido?", I will share this link with them. Also great to read that you created the soundtrack, very well done!

[@secundinocruz3673]

Love the value of life and Akido is one of the ways of life next to the Creator of all creations.

[@amineroko2420]

very good

[@lewpearson9800]

I trained in Aikido for 7 years. I miss it (injuries). You, the public may say, the uke is following. That is true. If he was not, the video would be very short and there would be no ukes.

[@yewwtooob]

Very true

[@Noahsark17]

When we breast our last, "we not going to remember the people we defeated: we going to remember the people we saved" That's Aikido.

[@XAV766]

Rien à dire ils sont trop fort ces japonais .... l aïkido c est un art de le pratiquer :)

Amo el aikido y adoro tanto su filosofia como la manera de practica pero sigue sin gustarme andar de rodillas siempre termino sangrando...

Awesome :)

@MrOphachew Moriteru Ueshiba is the grand-son of O'Sensei, creator of Aikido, and Mitsuteru Ueshiba, son of Moritueru Ueshiba, ( Waka Sensei ) is expected to be main chief of the World Aikido Federation

[@origamikatakana]

"The best self defense is good manners": if you don't have good dojo etiquette to begin with, you can't have good Aikido. You can have bad Aikido with good dojo etiquette though.

[@TomTreeMan]

Oh and this demo was of a kind and gentle nature, beautiful to watch, and deceivingly effective

[@Udansha]

Anyone know the sound track to this video?, its so peaceful

[@smiley-qb3nt]

Whatbkind of mats are they

[@TomTreeMan]

This Sensei does tend to lead the uke into the techniques he wants to apply, but if I were the uke I'd go along too. I see what you mean, it looks less than honest, that is fair, but I assure you that's for the safety of the participants, one wrong reaction and the injuries here are severe. Stay true and I encourage your study, in time you'll gain more than just a physical enlightenment.

[@Wolfedog]

My Sensai when to Hombu Dojo in his early 20's (he is in his 70's now) they were doing a technic where you have to roll while laying down. Well, he didn't roll fast enough and it pulled his shoulder out of the socket.

[@TheStupidEggs]

Name of the music Art please...

[@DMKleinArts]

It's about immediately balancing the universe using the energy available in a closed system (your opponent's attack), rather than generating more power to counterbalance and overtake your opponent. And don't get me wrong, there's a lot of truth in not trusting a teacher/sensei/sifu who says "I don't want to hurt you", if they've mastered themselves sufficiently, they won't.

[@budoytvluna4927]

I love aikido beacuse I am a player before

[@Mafioso518]

It looks so peaceful despite being a martial art.

[@TomTreeMan]

Aikido is very effective against strikes, weapons, and multiple opponents. We're not impossible to hit, but the blending movements take all the harmful force away from the attack, and use the momentum from it to set up and apply a technique. For demonstration and instruction purposes, we avoid striking so the dojo can observe and concentrate on the mechanics and finesse of the applications. Believe me, I learned the hard way, I'm an extremely effective striker, at 250 pounds I decided to test my sempai, ( instructing student of a higher level ) and he, at about 165 pounds slammed me on the mat with a wrist throw, I landed only on the back of my neck, hard, (I didn't know how to fall from that technique at that time) by the time I hit, his knee was already planted on my throat (gently) but I was unable to move without injuring myself, and was blessed with the new knowledge, that he was in control of that, and could have compressed my larynx, or groin as a secondary awareness came to my attention. I was no longer cocky even thoughtI was the biggest, strongest, fastest wrestler/striker in the dojo. None of which helped me. I've bear hugged, whizzered, choked, stabbed (wood knife) and clubbed at the instructors and Sensei, all to no avail, and I honestly tried to blast my Sempai with a sneaky front punch, I did hit him, but the connection didn't even phase him. I've knocked out opponents with over zealous set up jabs. You may hit home if you try this on an Aikido with a first Dahn (Black Belt that takes about seven years to accomplish) but don't try it if you don't know how to fall from one of over 1,500 techniques, and times that by as many applications as they go up in rank, because it doesn't end well if you get a broken neck, collarbone, wrist, ribs or torn cartilage, not to mention the bulging disc, but it was my fault!

[@EevolBee]

This is so true. Believe this story.

[@umegaenohana]

Aikido techniques make the most of your opponent's power. I throw it with the power of the other party When a person uses his power against the other person, he does not know what vector and strength he used. Aikido makes the most of such power At first glance, you may think it's a fake, but it's not until you've been tricked that you know it's not a fake. At that time, it was too late for me to stab my weapon in my back, or stab my chest or neck with my own hands. However, the essence of Aikido is to be the same as the feelings of the other person. It's the same, it's not even the enemy, it's blending in. .Governing things peacefully is the ultimate form of Aikido that lies ahead of us. Five Principles of Ki Aikido 1 I'm feeling 2 Know the heart of the other person 3 Respect the other person's spirit 4 Stand in the position of the other party 5 Leading plight (Act on your own before others) 🙆 Four major principles of mental and physical unification 1) Keep your heart in one point under the navel and unify 2) Completely relax the power of the whole body 3) Put the weights of all parts of the body at the bottom 4) Be careful

[@d4rknah]

this art at this level should be called UKE-DO because there is no executor technique, the opponent ends up falling deliberately what do you thing guys?

[@kellysteveson6854]

Love the Video, I have been training in Aikido for many years now, I started in Japan, then in Virginia, and now in Italy. Aikdio in the states has become so political it is not funny. I know I will never train Aikdio in the US again. I will return to my Sensei in Japan.

Why don't they defeat serious attacks like punches or kicks?

[@rolandastomkus1829]

[@kellysteveson6854]

I undertand your point, I ask that you train and see why they move the way the do. Most of it is done so as to not get hurt while still training on how to do the move. AIKIDO was founded by a Shinto priest and most movements are based on the Shinto way. To attack is to loose because that means you have lst control. Also please look into the founders book "the art of piece"

Sorry you did not like the reply, for those who are wondering what I am talking about. When I did some training in VA for 3 years the dojo-cho always was telling the students to get him beer, or telling the kids they could get more points if they got him coffee in the AM, I also attended a Semanar with Stephan Yap and almost no training was done beacuse so many people were kissing her butt. You will never see that in Japan. A semanar is 3-4 hours of sweat and hard training.

Great video guys! I'm in New Orleans and I practiced Aikido for a while. Then I met a great Sifu from Hong Kong. He teaches the classic tai chi. It isn't push hands. It's striking hands and rubbing hands. Please check out my video and let me know what y'all think. Lots of joint locks and throws.

[@enokidake]

I don't know. I don't think the first demonstrator really gets how to do kotegaeshi without interfering without just pulling the wrist over like a crank. He seems to bully his way through most techniques. And Moriteru Sensei...I don't even know what to say. I've been doing Aikido for almost 40 years. Things have really changed. Watch some of the original uchideshi like Sugano Sensei and Saotomi Sensei if you think I'm kidding and draw your own conclusions. edit: I mean old footage, not the ones where Americans throw themselves on the ground like they are possessed by the holy spirit.

[@henkdestoomtrein1545]

Our dojo's Second is 6'4 and a good 300 lbs of nothing but muscle. I'm 5'4 and only about 210lbs. When I do techniques right, even he admits there's nothing he can do to stop me from sending him to the mat. It's less about strength and who has the more muscle and more about leverage and momentum.

[@a053303]

I can really appreciate the grace & body movement of an aikido master but agree that as a self-defence system if would fail. Then again, IS aikido a self defence system? It has some 'realism' value like eg excellent breakfalling techniques. Also, BJJ has its limitations. I practice BJJ and love it but I meet so many BJJ guys that would get KO'd in 2 minutes becaue they confuse the competition context with the real world. So, mix it up, take what is good and discard what is not. peace
