[@AnkurWow]

Both of these guys have the best smiles. I think that’s part of the charm of these videos.

[@richardsager1723]

Azu Your laughter is contagious. I don’t have a home, been living in my car for three years. I’m trying to save some money to get a hoodie but it’s rough, but I’m going to make it. Stay healthy, stay strong, stay loving.

[@psm123100]

I have been a real fan of your channel for a long time ! I live what you all are doing keep up the great work

[@user-ht9pj5ys8p]

As a Japanese,I am glad to see you play aikido. Aikido is strong to protect. But I learn karate

[@hypersmudge1]

Aikidoflow... Always great! Thanks for your great videos. Demo’s and commentary always to the point.

[@jakovzord]

Great video, it's exactly like O'Sensei said, "Steal it because it is so valuable" The last technique is standard in the style of Aikido I practice, it's called Ude Gaeshi.

[@rhmayer1]

Yep. #7 of the junanahon (basic 17) kata in Tomiki (or Shodokan) Aikido. One of my favorites.

[@martynpegg6318]

Second two are very effective traditional Jiu Jitsu techniques ;-)

[@MrFacundo7]

Great video, guys!💪👍

[@FriedBnana]

Love your videos Azu! Thanks for the tips!

[@brunomichaels9497]

I really enjoy your videos. You are absolutely right, it's important to experiment. Aikido has to keep evolving. I'm looking forward to seeing some new videos.

[@franklinnanai2745]

Great moves as usual Azu. You guys on Aikidoflow are cool, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@paulrollison5447]

Love watching you guys great tips

[@essexaikidodojoshoshinkan3150]

The movement shown is practiced in the Kihon kata of Tomiki Aikido Ude Gaeshi

[@saga75]

Hello guys, always a plaisir watching your videos. Especially since I started practicing Aïkibudo (close to Aïkido). Thanks for the smiles and fun your putting into those videos.

[@azuspointofview5110]

We have fun doing it. Glad you like it.

[@luvchrist8425]

Excellent Tactics!!

[@alanfreeman7374]

Very nice presentation gents. And your absolutely correct, we should always be learning and improving our skill. Once again. thanks mates.

[@drpeterclayton]

Great teacher

[@sambarris9843]

Those last two are extremely similar to techniques I learned in the military to control detainees. Good stuff. I thought at the time that they were very aikidolike. Nicely done, gentlemen. :-)

[@ismaelzapatacasanave6932]

Perfect Master

[@fehmi2665]

Love the tips❤

[@awiggins7031]

Wow these guys are fun!

[@michaelrawson6261]

"We can have a little dance...!" 😂😂😂 👍

[@AikidoAgatsu]

Nice! These are some of my favorite techniques as well. I like how you "flowed" the Number 2 (arm bar) into a kotegaeshi. I feel that Number 2 also flows well into Number 3 if uke resists the arm bar by bending his elbow. Love your show. Keep it up.

[@Eric-zs9rh]

Thanks, great tips.

[@ricksmith6537]

Think you guys have way to much fun but I think that is the key to learning!

[@tuari108]

Hey guys as always inspiring stuff, I love the creativity the passion and the skill! You inspired me to start my own channel on KZbin, I don't want to put its name up because this is YOUR channel and not an appropriate place to promote something else, but I did want to say I stepped out because of your example thank you!

[@trenton9459]

keep it up! love it!!

[@orpheushawkins5536]

Great work

[@kevinparham1505]

yeah Azu we have a lot of Muai Tai kickers out here and Tang soo do sweepers and tae kwon do kickers who are skilled at kicking

[@NXGMR]

Ondrej nage is actually similar to ude-garami nage (arm wrap throw). If you let uke drop to the ground, and as you feel his weight come off your arm, you can lift him, and he will turn to his back due to momentum, allowing you to lock him like the second lock used in nikkyo ura. Please keep experimenting as everyone needs their own style of fighting. Besides, it helps you improvise in untrained situations 👍

[@imwolf4851]

I love this channel. I am a martial artist as well. I have background in Krav, TKD, and Japanese jujitsu with some small circle thrown in. I have always had a fascination with Aikido, anyway enough of my rambling I was wondering if we could get an Azu video of your go to moves or your best moves you used as a bouncer? Thank you.

[@riverjao]

Azu = coolest guy on the internet 👍

[@paulruprai1274]

Cool moves take time to develop

[@davestribling8047]

Aikido gets a bit of a bad rap but love the way you guys innovate and think outside the box! Big fan of your videos 🙏👌

[@sonofisrael5204]

I feel you bro I like those too. Real quick and brutal and I bet the ladies like that too when you did those moves .I bet you look real cool and James Bond like to them💪😅😅👍

[@patrickbanish8154]

I concur with you. I find that aikido is great base fighting style. along with boxing and ju jitsu I fell it makes me an all around good fight in any situation. next wingchung or jeet run do

[@rubenvargas3547]

Your awesome 👍

[@markleduc4206]

Great 👍

[@NIGHTSTALKER973]

I go to Aikido classes once a week I should do it twice a week but college got in the way but anyway I always try to bring a new technique into my class and my Aikido now for one month I focus on a specific technique or a specific set of techniques like my class next week I'll be doing Aikido from the clinch and this month I was doing finger locks it is very fun to look at new techniques and think outside the box. My favorite techniques that I have taken from a different style by far is the suriage and uke nagashi hand deflections from Tenshin Aikido they just open up so much more possibilities to how you can apply your throws and pins in a more practical way.

[@azuspointofview5110]

Indeed. We look at all sorts of arts and learn from them.

[@FightClubStellingen]

I see what you did there :) thx, Azu!

[@kendricksmith3207]

Thank You Azu and Ondrej. These are all very practical techniques. Can you do a multiple attacker situation, and/or one with a gun to your back.

[@jacobcoryell8258]

Great idea

[@tmarevisited118]

In Iwama style we have ara and henka waza, which seems to be what you're talking about here. Henka waza are modified basic techniques and ara waza are "crude" as in "uncivilized" techniques, which is to say stuff that aims to do maximum damage (limb destruction and the like.) A simple example would be the relatively harmless "scarf throw" can easily become a "neck throw" which, if you hold on to the assailant after thr throw and snap your body in opposition to the way they are falling just as they come to the ground, you can snap the neck under their body weight. So there you have basic, modified, and brutal versions of the same essential technique. Personally, I think all aikido schools need to be teaching this stuff. Aikido is dying because we've built a reputation as worthless and ineffective.

[@sonipremo164]

Ondrej Nage was really cool haha. Azu you should join more of videos you make them fun.

[@azuspointofview5110]

Thanks.

[@MartialArtsLifeStyle]

NICE VIDEO !

[@NotN8]

At 1:23 when is that & how do you do that effectively? Seems useful & I'd like to know the trick to get them to bend over like that! Do you have a video on it?

[@stevelavis473]

I been watching and enjoying for long time...so what’s this guys name?

[@gjgrgaming6442]

still good!

[@oniaiki]

Nice moves. But not secret any more.....:-)

[@JamieMarshallMusician]

Is Ondrej Slovak? When does he get to do his moves on you Azu?Love the Sarf London presentation geezah

[@vim74]

tech 3 we do something similar in bujinkan when guy punches we step back at 45 degree angle strike the arm then move in punch face & ya right arm can elbow face as you come to put on the lock. Or go the opposite & come under elbow to put lock on luv watching these moves can see moves a bit similar

[@omaridaley7801]

Is there a chance you can go into boxing gyms or other schools and demonstrate against different arts

[@maxiarakaki2127]

could you do a vídeo about atacks yo the nekc or grab? thank you

[@josephgriffin9676]

That arm bar technique is straight out of my Japanese ju jitsu sylabus lol. White or yellow belt, not sure which x

[@lsporter88]

Funny guy.......but those do work, and it is good to steal moves.. Great video.

[@rhmayer1]

3:14 Not shihonage. This is ude gaeshi in Tomiki aikido, part of the hiji waza (elbow control techniques) which is one of the "basic 17" - the junanahon kata. Similar to shihonage (literally 4 direction throw; but more descriptively tenkai kotegaeshi) in that both have gaeshi - outward turning of the wrist. There are a number of things that one must do to make ude gaeshi effective. Some key points are missing in the demonstration, which would turn this into a battle of strength. Aikido should not depend on strength. Wish I was there to share some ideas with this delightful and positive sensei.

[@SuperHaydenm]

With Respect, The first of these techniques you say you've come up with which you call a thumb lock I have been teaching for years, in both traditional Jiu-Jitsu, and also in the Mental Health Secure units to help control violent patients, and it's actually a wrist lock, as you don't need the thumb to apply it. And all the techniques you have shown in this video, I have been teaching for years and they are included in the International Budo Federation Syllabus, which was written by Sensei Tom Starling 7th Dan Jiu-Jitsu IBF Regards Sensei Hayden Michaels 4th Dan Jiu-JItsu IBF

[@glennrobinson7193]

You make me laugh.. I love your humour. I always thought that mixing humour with m.a. or self defence on vids is not fitting or appropriate but with you different story.

[@JoseFuentes-fn3dl]

Great video! I was wondering Ive gotten bad nerve and shoulder pain ocassionally after training in Aikido. Ive taken a break but going back to it. Any recommenations to prevent that or maybe Im doing something wrong that isnt being noticed in class? Thanks!

[@Zorlag]

Jose Fuentes Either your ukemi is wrong (you don't know when it's safe to resist), or your school is abusive. Abusive Aikido very much exists. When injury is acceptable as regular part of training and seen as some kind of medal, it's a bad dojo.

[@JoseFuentes-fn3dl]

Thanks for your reply. The worst moment for me was Shihonage. I don't know what happened. The turn killed my shoulder. We had a new teacher. He didn't really know my resistance. My arm was really tight and no wiggle room at all. I thought for a second my shoulder popped. But afterward I told him respectfully to slow down with me. The other Sensei spoke with him after class. He didn't do it on purpose.

[@Zorlag]

I had my elbow cranked with shihonage twice, and it hurt for weeks afterwards. It was the fault of both my ukemi, and the nage. But regardless of nage, it can be usually avoided by not resisting that technique. You can resist in the very beginning, but once nage achieves the first movement and gets you stretched, all resistance must be ceased. As a nage there's often an instinct to make technique work despite uke's resistance. And when uke resists at that very vulnerable-for-himself point, nage may crank it up anyway, and you get an injury. You have to be selective about where you resist. If in doubt, better to resist lightly or even not at all.

[@azuspointofview5110]

I have had many injuries over the years and it seems to be unavoidable. Just rest and do not commence training until you are fully recovered.

[@itneeds2bsaid528]

Nice! But Andre didn't invent that either. That's been a pretty standard Ude Gatame in my class since I started 16 years ago. We usually do it as a follow-up from Ikkyo. Yon-no-ji, or "figure four" is what we call it.

[@YannickStanislasBrus]

Always on the top, guys. Just a suggestion : You should warning your followers of the necessity to learn in a club with a sensei who know what he does, in each video. You know ? You're following by aikidoka's but by others who are not. I'm in the right way or not ? See you and the next video and don't change everything. You're making me laugh, each time.

[@ebrake.5889]

Whats the second one called?

[@clintwalker7690]

You have a hard job! You are trying to teach street fighting to people who have mercy.

[@kevinparham1505]

Azu what do you have for people who Kick good.. like low kicks and high?????*

[@azuspointofview5110]

That's a good question. We have always wanted to make a video on that but we need to collaborate with someone who can kick well and finding someone and getting together is always hard but as soon as we can organise it we will make a video on that subject.

[@odudog]

The majority of the techniques that work on the arm will work on the leg. wrist = ankle elbow = knee finger = toe shoulder = hip

[@hasbiulhashfi8559]

azu please do make one video about it:) i've wondering this thing ever since i started practicing aikido. looking forward to it man! i really enjoy your video, they are very honest and i can see a new way to see the technique. keep it up!

[@chriswallace2298]

Take it back Bro. Azu! #takingaikidoback :)

[@azuspointofview5110]

Already subscribed to this channel. Some amazing stuff here.

[@chriswallace2298]

Hey you're amazing yourself, sir. Coming from a media background one of the best produced channels on KZbin. You make it entertaining practical and simple. Praying for you guys in London btw. Perhaps you'll repost the video on what to do in a terroris attack? Praying that you and yours are safe.

[@jackyammouni4877]

Hey Azu how are you i really miss your channel Azupointofview channel when will you post agian im soo anxious😆

[@azuspointofview5110]

I'll try to post something soon but I'm so busy these days. Thanks for your interest though.

[@kevinparham1505]

the traditional way Aikido

[@DreadlockDrummer]

so that's the secret of how to get the ladies to dance with me! hahahahahaha

[@miroslavfuntek1972]

No 4 :)

[@Matt_Mosley1983]

If it works, TAKE IT! :-D

[@pauldavdiyan2421]

Dance😂😂😂

[@kurtsteiner8384]

Does Andrea let you do this or does he resist to make it real. Good programme you don't slag off other arts like others do.

[@1964JEDAGI]

I've been doing the last two for a while. The second one can have a second part. You can go on with the armbar and hyperextend the elbow. Then step back and with the left arm put them in a backwards guillotine and lift up. This is bad stuff and should only be used in a life threatening situation.

[@azuspointofview5110]

That sounds brutal, I must try it.

[@1964JEDAGI]

Make a video when you do. Just be careful. I'd have to see your partner in a wheelchair. lol

[@mpeters1987]

These techniques and way of execution are part of alain floquet his aikibudo.

[@herpsociety]

I'd like to interview the host of this video for my radio program. Please, get a hold of me through here, or on FB. Thank you.

[@Aikidoflow]

that would be Azu, if you look in the description you will find a link to Azu's personal channel and you can message him direct on there.

[@shorfan]

The last one is like a ude gaeshi (not the judo one)

[@Erorikok98]

We call it ude garami

[@shorfan]

Erorikok98 ude garami is kimura, this is more of a takedown, ude gaeshi

[@odudog]

Erorikok98 got it right, ude garami. Arm entanglement. The second technique is another version of ude garami.

[@shorfan]

odudog youtube ude gaeshi aikido. Ude garami is a joint lock, the one in the video is more of bringing the opponent down, breaking the balance while doing some 'ude garami' position, but not actually making the opponent tap out, but to bring him down.

[@christopherjamesjames1682]

That asu is a reasonable guy now .I would nt like 2 off crossed him now or years ago

[@ariturbo4094]

Seagal aikido methodology with suriage

[@hugebigs]

This type of application (with the intro strike/elbow) makes sense to me. The ppl who say don't use strikes don't make sense to me. This is more like the Steven Segal movie stuff (with punches, etc.). The "purist' style is gonna get me beat up.

[@akiensom4344]

😂😂😂

[@jamesalnolan961]

at 76 am i to old to do this

[@robertodsilvasilvaissoaifa5306]

Seja Alegre assim, dando esta risada gostosa. Em toda as suas pastagens! lembra de mim cada vez que você postar, que estarei recebendo em primeira mão. Aqui é o Roberto de São Paulo Brasil .Um abraço para você e sua família . Não, esqueça do seu amigo.

[@GreenLifeOmaha_GLO]

Lol would nvr work against ANY pressure

[@kevinparham1505]

no not really but if you are a good kicker some are really good kickers out there

[@bAbYkEkONA]

This is basic elementary "Chin Na".. the Chinese art of Seize and Control! The art that gave birth to DaitoRyuAikiJujutsu, from their the term Ju-jutsu arises, The Japanese form of locking, throwing and pinning methods bred 2 schools of thought on Ju-jutsu, they were called Aikido & Judo... Aikido chose not to spar and simply focus on techniques and concepts. Judo chose to specialize in the throwing and sweeping aspects of traditional Ju-jutsu instead of the small joint manipulation methods. Judoka also chose to spar making the system obviously effective where Aikido is extremely questionable as far as effectiveness... In Gung fu we have Kuen which are forms and applications, We have Chin Na which are seize and controlling methods and we have Shuai Jiao which is throwing and sweeping methods and also are some of the most vast ancient, in depth and effective techniques that are lost into today's mma era.

[@nagaremono6425]

hello, thank you for answering my last question and I have another, recently I saw on the news that a hate crime occurred in new york city where a white racist killed a black man with a sword. how would an aikido fighter handle this situation? thanks a lot.

[@kevinparham1505]

the traditional way Aikido defense against kicks I don't agree with at all I study Aikido so I know

[@evandaly1520]

Don't you feel sorry for the friend!!!???

[@williampeckham9838]

I'm lucky cause I'm double jointed so thumb locks don't work on me 😎

[@Andalousymehdi]

it's a aikijutsu move i think ? its not aikido

[@KenpoKid77]

samir Ahchouch Could be both, some branches of aikido place more emphasis on atemi (counter strikes) and adopt a more combat-based movement. Some may not consider that aikido, but that may be due to exposure to only the more pacifist branches.

[@boomorningstar3061]

lol, music still suck more fitting for caporia, may have spelled incorrectly big deal. So your channel is Aikido.

[@towag]

Sorry Azu!! I've done and used all of these "secret" techniques of yours many times over!! LOL!! Nothing new under the sun geezer!! lol!! But yeah... Take what's useful for YOU and discard that which isn't is my belief... I also think that my "aikido" (which I now practice and prefer to call jujutsu) and depending on what style or ryu one practices at, has been well and truly dissed for far too long now... To be honest, I blame the "highly intellectual" hippy hoppy, love and harmony types who've changed it into a cardiovascular health practice...!!! Nothing wrong in doing so, as long as you tell people that, so they have no illusions in thinking that it works for self defence...!!

[@learntechwithabderrezak2507]

i guess you don't understand the aikidou phylosophy ...

[@stuartstratford9543]

the martial art that you practice more reflects jujitsu rather than aikido

[@jakovzord]

I have to contest to your statement, what the Aikidoflow guys do is most certainly Aikido first and foremost. I'm making an assumption on your reasoning on my part, but just because what they're doing looks more hardcore doesn't mean it isn't Aikido, Aikido is not a 'soft' version of Jujitsu. What makes Aikido so different from Jujitsu is the emphasis on entering and off-balancing, this doesn't mean Jujitsu DOESN'T have these aspects, they're just generally done very linearly whereas Aikido applies them with strong emphasis on circle and spiral movements, it's very sophisticated and it means that you don't always have to concentrate as much on power, for example you can turn your body effectively instead of just tightening a lock to stop an unwilling opponent. This is why Azu always says "Aikido gives me choice", watch their other content and you'll see they go into more detail with these principles in other videos.

[@edi9892]

Sounds more like JKD or MMA: is it useful? Steal it!

[@nevilleparis3932]

Aikido does not work in real life situations

[@fransciscoau]

Pretty sure Azu was a bouncer in London and has stated a number of times that he has used Aikido in many of real life situations. In my view styles per say do not fail, people fail under stress to apply the practical applications of what they have learnt. Nothing is fool proof. I can only say that until you have felt the pain that these techniques inflict (and they are very painful even at this nice demo level). Done 100% ,the results on someone not expecting this, or able to take the fall or pin once caught are serious injury (almost guaranteed). Unless the rules were changed none of this is "legal" in MMA or tournament martial arts, this is not sport fighting. The idea is to dodge the punches, take control of the arm, wrist or elbow with speed and surprise. This sort of stuff breaks bones (in fact is designed to do so). Azu is also being very nice to his assistant here.

[@sambarris9843]

Depends entirely on how you do it. I would agree that most students don't train in a way that would make it effective, nor do most teachers offer that sort of training, but I would say the same about most martial artists of any style. Very few people anywhere are actually training to be effective fighters. We have a lot of military types at my dojo, myself included. One of them summed it up nicely: "Aikido might not be what I take downrange, but it's always the first thing I want to come back to."

[@boomorningstar3061]

Cant you practice in a dojo or hall, really in the street where i live would bring unwelcome attention.
