Aikido is very frustrating to learn, and it’s not very useful as a self defense until a very high level. I want to quit all the time but every time I see Shirakawa Sensei and his contemporaries perform it motivates me to continue. Shirakawa Sensei also explain the movements a lot and not keep everything “secretive”. This gives me another reason to continue as oppose to just doing meaningless movements. Thank you very much

You are wrong when you say Aikido is not efficient as self défense at a high level. Aikido can make collateral damages to your body when applying with efficience. But the way “do” of Aikido is a peaceful art and we don’t want to be involved in violence. Of course, if someone attack me I’ll not hesitate a second and will use all techniques I can to stop the attach, to stop de conflit, to the stop the violence. Be in peace ✌️🙏

Shirakawa Ryuji sensei the best of the best aikido master. Shirakawa sensei has not only great technique but also an open mind and a humble heart. Most Aikido masters to date do not interact with other martial arts. And Aikido has not developed, it is steadily declining. Shirakawa sensei's Aikido is clear, beautiful, dynamic and very developed. Needless to say, he is special and It goes way beyond the normal Aikido master A lot of training and his talent abounds there. He is already a legend of Aikido and I am convinced that he is creating a new era. Congratulations.

My opinion says any martial art which never interacts with another martial art will die, sooner than later.

What a fake martial art. And I'm surprised people celebrate fakery as if it's an art form
Aikido is by far one of the most beautiful techniques - amazing to see full speed in these demos. Very skilful. Amazing. Best wishes from the UK

Beautiful demonstration. I love the part where Shirakawa sensei started with a slow demo of the move then increased speed and intensity with each attempt.
Perfect exhibition. Top level aikido that visible and exciting to the audience!

This is so good! I like how you demonstrated slowly to show technique and then did it at full speed. I wish there were more senseis like you in the USA. Many American senseis don’t test their aikido against other martial arts. You are one of my favorite aikido senseis.

@@itellyouforfree7238 Anyone who learns aikido as a supplement to years of other martial arts practice will truly benefit from what aikido has to offer. You seem to be comparing aikido's "martial arts techniques" to other martial arts. Aikido is breathwork, just like breathing is to yoga. A yoga practitioner can spend 10 years practicing yoga poses without ever learning how to breathe properly. Once he or she learns how to properly breathe, that will make him or her a better yoga practitioner. Do you understand now how aikido can be useful? No martial art is a throwaway; every martial art has usefulness.
@itellyouforfree72382 жыл бұрын
@@claredin excuse me lady, but i think approximately 8 billion people around the world currently know how to breathe. thinking that the pretentious yoga pricks are the exclusive holders of some sort of secret regarding breathing is just ridiculous. as for martial arts, aikido has nothing "martial" about it. it's merely a cinematographic ballet that works as long as you find a partner that complies to your movements. as soon as the opponent tries to apply the slightest resistance, all this bullshit breaks down. this is the reason why aikido "masters" do not confront real martial artists
@jamesfrankiewicz57682 жыл бұрын
@@itellyouforfree7238 My take on aikido's breathwork is learning to breathe in an optimum and synchronous way such that it supports (rather than resists) the movement of the rest of the body; which is what is meant by "breathing properly". There's nothing mysterious about that, but it's not a natural tendency, so it does take some training. As to resistance, being able to switch techniques to move around the resistance is important, as is hitting your opponent in the midst of applying technique; both are typically omitted in demonstrations, but, if I'm honest, both are omitted all too often in training (although this is not a universal case amongst all varieties and instructors of aikido). I, for one, find it fun to mix things up with other martial artists, but aikido isn't the only martial art I've trained, either. Demonstrations also tend to use flashier versions of techniques to allow for more spectacular falls, but the flashy versions often have gaping weaknesses that can be exploited, if you know where they are. (A personal peeve of mine, is when I go to a seminar and one of my training partners seems insistent on trying to perform the flashy version of some technique, rather than the effective version, especially if the instructor just showed the effective version.)

Do you think this guy "tests" his martial arts against other arts? He takes his own ukes everywhere... and then when it comes time to do "real" sparring, he does zero Aikido and 100% bad budo... it's quite hilarious
A beautiful show with an amazing pace. Ryuji Shirakawa Shihan's shows look like a dance with perfect choreography and rare harmony. No unnecessary movements. Wonderful!!! ...and I learned about KUDO....Thank you Shihan😍

Can anyone please tell me the name of the technique where you drop to the ground and slide in order to trip the opponent? I've been trying to find the name of it for a long time now. The technique happens at 9:32 in the video.
