Applying Iriminage to the Jab: 5 Methods of Entry.

[@SUMERUP]

Fascinating. Great you take the time to really go to the bottom of it all.

Magnificent demonstration, such good sensei , you have a deep understanding of nishio's style

[@user-ws3st7hu2l]

I was wondering about the slipping part too. Thanks!

Thank you!

Shotokan karate player here.. Appreciate the video and insights. Some nice sticky arm and control principles there 🤔 💪

[@GreenwoodAikido]

Thanks for your comment! Glad you enjoyed. Good training to you!

[@rasulhafeez5575]

I love this Video of Nishio Aikido.

[@TimRHillard]

I'm a boxer, not a great one, but still😋. Anyway, I really like what you are showing at 6:54 which is getting to the outside of that lead hand punch. Once you are there, for a split second you have disabled his weapons.

[@Melvorgazh]

Excellent demonstration and teaching! :)

[@dayman161172]

first THX . This look better than most aikido i saw. im doing boxing and wrestling. i tested the entry of 6:25. of course I'm no aikidoka but the critical point is to go behind the elbow. The rest looks awesome and im sure it can work but like i said its hard to go to the enemy triceps. Also if the opponent knows some boxing i think its impossible to go behind the jab arm. This can only work for the cross i would say because there you have enough time to go there

[@GreenwoodAikido]

Thank you and thanks for trying out these moves in your training. I agree with what you're saying. To transition on a boxer who is tight and quick is no easy thing. We saw that early on in UFC 5 when Royce Gracie got his eye split open by Ken Shamrock's right cross when Royce tried to shoot a double leg. Another approach is stay tight and go directly into a standing clinch and then pummel for a throw or an arm drag. Nobody's ever said this is easy!

[@rcombatlife9838]

excellent thank's a lot

[@a3spirit]

for side entry #4 you don't like slipping action 8:50 because it doesn't stop the uke turning to strike with other hand, but why couldn't you apply the same check like you do in 10:15 with the angled arm. In other words not a slip parry but a slip parry (with a slight duck) so you other hand forearm does the angled check.

[@GreenwoodAikido]

It looks like you've studied the video closely - good job! I think you're asking why not just enter directly to the side while applying the angled arm check like at 10:15. The problem is that it's very difficult to simply enter directly to the side and immediately establish control of the opponent's striking arm as well as their other hand with an angled arm check. I'm not saying it's impossible because a lot of things are possible depending on the timing, your athletic ability as well as the level of commitment of the opponent's strike. There is, however, a major risk of exposing your side when you do this. What I'm emphasizing is that it's important to attempt to control the range of both the opponent's hands in the first instant. Once you've done that you are better able to establish position (including the application of the angled arm check) and ultimately establish control.

Does anyone know the Title of the music being played in the video?

[@Menyhard]

Did he do any tv our any. Movies he looks so Familiar

[@GreenwoodAikido]

You might be thinking of George Clooney :-) Nope, no movies or tv.

[@sebastianbenitez2124]

SOo..To get hit is all right?

[@GreenwoodAikido]

The mindset of just avoiding being hit is too timid to be effective. Getting hit is inevitable and accepting that is essential in any striking situation.

[@jaketheasianguy3307]

Watch any combat sport fights that allowed striking, you will see that even the best fighters will get hit by the jab alot of time. Avoid getting hit hard is the goal, impossible to avoid getting hit at all when facing a competent opponent

[@richardkillblane5698]

Interesting. You show how the slips to the outside fail by having your uke throw a straight cross or hook, but you don't do the same when you enter to the inside. The jab is to set up for the other punch. There's always a second punch. I've been sparring aikido against a boxer for two years now and found both slipping to the outside and blocking/parrying the jab from the inside work. There is no one technique that will work every time. It depends upon your opponent. Another thing you don't show is what happens if your uke turns on you even after you have his elbow. Aikidoists tend to fight like their feet are nailed to the mat. Boxers circle their opponent and counter punch. Whether I catch the inside of uke's elbow, the outside or even the wrist, the trick is leading uke forward so his/her balance is over the lead foot. That's the magic of how aikido works against a boxer. Otherwise they are just going to turn and hit you with the other hand. Remember, a fight is very fast and you have a lot more ground to cover to enter behind your uke. My sparring partners tend to turn in on irimi nage. I have also found that if you drive uke's elbow into his/her center, that also takes away the other punch. If your initial attemi is a punch, it needs to disrupt uke's combination. Boxers are trained to take punches and keep punching.

[@GreenwoodAikido]

Great observations Richard. Thank you and hats off for testing and developing your technique and skill. I agree. It's really difficult to slip past a boxer, especially when you're squaring off to spar rather than dealing with an attack in some everyday situation. No matter what MA or technique we're doing we have to count on it failing most of the time and stay flexible and active.

[@richardkillblane5698]

@@GreenwoodAikido I like your full speed demonstration. That comes with muscle memory which comes with lots of practice.

[@Novum07]

Esto no sirve contra un boxeador bien entrenado, la trayectoria ida y vuelta de un recto bien tirado es demasiado rápida y simplemente no hay tiempo para hacer algo.

[@GreenwoodAikido]

What would happen against two trained individuals is a matter of skill, conditioning and athleticism so I won't debate that. However, the approach I'm showing here includes techniques that are very common in boxing including slipping and splitting the jab. Slipping past a jab and getting into clinch range also happens in just about every MMA match. The difference is that in boxing the referee will pause the fight and break up the clinch. I'm simply getting into clinch range and applying shimewaza or it's close cousin, iriminage.
