As Lee himself said, "absorb what is useful" .. KEEP ON GROWING, AIKIDOFLOWERS!

[@dudemannxs]

Thank you for this. I am a Wing Chun guy and have literally done the opposite. Aikido started to make sense to me from an inside fighting perspective. After you get that first stun strike, you can do Akido all day.

[@dannyjingu]

Same, although I started with adding Chin Na to my Wing Chun. I didn't like how it felt, so I tried Aikido and felt it blended better, especially the footwork.

[@DouglasJohnson.]

I always thought learning Wing Chun would be a benefit for the Aikido practitioner. Great video. I'd like to see this explored further.

[@Jmbr-eh6xr]

A source commented that Wing Chun and Aikido would clash and should avoid training together, that is far from the truth; I think they complement each other

[@DouglasJohnson.]

@@Jmbr-eh6xr Agreed.

[@burningknuckle26]

I love Wing Chun. A friend showed me how awesome it is in close quarters. blew my mind.

[@Mort7an]

The Wing Chun block that Azu uses is a Tan Sao.

[@brucehuddler7518]

Laap Sao take his center of gravity

[@SherwinChow-cg3nw]

Notice the angle to his opponent’s left side? Angles are very critical to a successful outcome.

[@brutusleao]

Not many people know that Steven Seagal not trained wing chun only with sifu Sam Kwok,but also trained wing chun with sifu Randy Williams in 90's and after he implement a lot of wing chun techniques to his style,especially in movie Glimmer Man

[@junglejim3433]

When I was practicing Aikido thirty years ago I thought, man, some Wing Chun or Jeet Kune Do would work great with this!

[@goshuryusc]

Excellent point. In line with O’Sensei’s early beliefs that Aikido was anything that worked using martial principles - plus 80% of ‘interactions’ begin with Atemi. Great video!

[@bogwoppit792]

Tan Sao or Spreading Hand is a great technique. The key to wing chun is everything is going forwards towards your opponents spine to break their centre of equilibrium. The tan sao acts as a spiral, so when your forearm crosses your opponents, the rotation of the forearm and turn of your hips moves their arm and upper body off centre. Rather than a clash and chasing of the hands

[@hamishlovesit4731]

Really good ideas.. my friend specialised in Wing chun ... Good to see the mix .

[@tomkrypas]

Of course.. it complete perfectly

[@frankwafer6919]

Right on!💯🙂✊🏾👍✌️!

[@tjey379]

Real beautiful moves, I love this channel

[@stewiepantsoutdooradventui3254]

Using no limitation as a limitation

[@C63V8]

Excellent

[@ChrisBeard]

Yes!

[@E_Demir]

i was thinking about adding muay thai but that works too

[@striplingwarrior6309]

However I would suggest an open hand strikes as opposed to clased fists as suggested by Rickson Gracie.

[@apexak]

Like your shirt

[@betsyross2.065]

I agree 🎉

[@chengfu7063]

This is very good as always adaptation allows knowledge and insight into every way to succeed and gives the proper way to go about having the next move plan ahead and what to possibly expect and what to possibly be prepared for which is to be the very best and to put the enemy down for good no mercy no hesitation no restraint same thing with weapon usage no matter this way or that way all arts are designed to be fun cool and to be the very best of course no rules in a street fight eliminate your target there well done

[@SpliffRidah]

When yo shared your arts with another martial artist years ago at Barbados and you heared a wow from an Aikido practitioner, guess nufff said... Maybe you see this video Brian, I was impressed by your techniques too

[@striplingwarrior6309]

Also tai sabaki. You could also use the low level kicks / from wing chun.

[@RickDaBodyguard]

Meanwhile, here on ‘Chaos Island’, aka Hong Kong… Thank You for the ‘Shout Out’ to what we get up to. (Not Exactly….) Love you Guys!

[@indianmartialartsresearchg9728]

Mixing it up is the way forward. No one style or system has all the answers because the knowledge of past founders was limited because of geography, real fight experience, etc.

[@lewisb85]

You know sifu mark philips also lives in London could be interesting doing something with him he teaches wing chun, sanshou and bjj but he also did aikido and judo in the past as well, would be interesting having a chat with him for the channel. Aikido works best with cross training for me its bjj and jeet kune do.

[@ziggydog5091]

I like FMA for cross training, check it out!

[@Oyamakancho]

Amazing! I've got a lil question for both of you. Did you incorporate Wing Chun's Straight Blast in your Aikido? Steven Seagal did! D'you know why? Because he's ABOVE THE LAW! haha the way Steven punches that board in one of his films makes him HARD TO KILL...Anyway, keep pushing, guys! Love ya vids and ya great sense of humour! ( Oh yeah, in OUT FOR JUSTICE, Steven uses a combo of 3 Wing Chun punches, kind of a straight blast against the guy that says : '' I like pain, you know! '' )

[@J3unG]

Given up on Aikido, have you?

[@greggouge93]

About 3/4 of the way through the video lost sound.

[@Menyhard]

Bruce lee using no way as a way

[@joequillun7790]

Can you say..."Jeet Kune Do?" (LOL Someone already beat you to this method). But it was a good tutorial. Thanks.

[@Jmbr-eh6xr]

I think someone needs to combine Aikido and Wing Chun, in fact just train Real Jeet Kune Do Wing Chun practioner with doorman experience would be bad ass, Aikido doesn’t work the best as primary weapon, Wing Chun is better on the reception and meeting an attack

[@Jmbr-eh6xr]

Boxing and Muay Thai is superior, but as Big Man mentioned in earlier video they are unsuitable for doorman duty, because Muay Thai is Boxing is over kill and last resort, in fact grappling and utilising Boxing is the last resort because it doesn’t look good in the eyes of the bullshit law in United Kingdom

[@jpitcher59]

Its the same intichi.

[@trevorelcock]

In Wing Chun we deflect not block. JS.

[@robertstrauss5218]

The founder of aikido said aikido was 80% hitting (atemi). Something that has been forgotten. In the original rules for students was a comment that they should be very careful using aikido because one blow could kill. When I first learned that I wondered what happened to those skills. The rather silly attacks used in teaching aikido might be studied more and made effective rather than embarrassing.

[@S.N.T.247]

Wing chun is great and can add value to others martial arts but you cant add arts to wing chun to make wing chun better because its already flawless.
