AIKIDO | BRUTAL 'REVERSE NIKYO' | Nikyo is more than just a wrist lock

[@ddturnerphd]

Lots to be gleaned from exploring the connections involved in the shape of this technique.

[@RetrogasmicPodcast]

Yep its very easy to get "stuck in kata".

[@Clarity2020Australia]

great class

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

it was

[@hattorihanzo3688]

a clear explanation of the principles behind kata with pragmatism.

Our pleasure Alphonso, glad you are enjoying it!

[@regmullett4899]

really nice to see all those variations - really enjoy the content on your channel

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

good to hear!

The best I heard from Aikido people this week. If nikkyo isn't wrist lock so what it is? Any thoughts?

[@ddturnerphd]

It's a skeletal destabiliser.

[@vano-559]

@@ddturnerphd nice! It's called kuzushi in Japanese. Probably same we could say about ikkyo, sankyo, yonkyo and gokyo?

[@tandendo]

@@vano-559 i think it is to remove room to be bent. aiki won't work if the joints have room to move around or any disconnection of bones.

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

We treat it as a kuzushi principle with the pain compliance as an option, and try to get students to understand the mechanics behind it so they are more aware of when each of the primary locks (ikkyo-gokyo) become available

[@vano-559]

@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE yes it's different types of kuzushi however devil comes when people start to explain how this kuzushi works. For example difference between ikkyo and gokyo.

i wonder what it is called in japanese. i could not find it. i know the technique but i never knew the name. i also would shift it to sankyo for the situation. so it is interesting.

[@nikosskeptikos6295]

This was a great class, I hope you filmed the sankyo part too?

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

I think its being edited

[@RetrogasmicPodcast]

that lad at the end is a big unit. how tall is he? 6' 6?

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

I think Craig sensei is 2.04 whatever that is in inches. maybe 6 foot 8?

[@boddumblues]

Nikyo can have a "giving" quality or a "taking" quality. If you come from a sword technique, you ground your opponent and finish him off cutting his head, not very AiKi but that's the technical background. This is how many apply Nikyo. You can do Nikyo in a more "giving" fashion not taking the opponent hard straight down to the ground, but absorbing, breaking balance and structure. A different feeling Nikyo, still as effective but not humiliating ;-) For practical reasons it's good to know the direct down version.

[@AIKIDOSILVERDALE]

Many different application of this particular biomechnic, dependent of course upon the uke, the situation and what your intentions are.

[@CarlaCasteneda]

I wish more insrutors would teach liek this focusing on the principle behind the waza rather than just "how to do the thing"

[@dbuck1964]

If you really want to start understanding these dynamics even more thoroughly, try doing the technique this way while slowly walking backwards and forwards.

[@CarlaCasteneda]

same thing can be achieve by rotation (maki) of the hips too
