Basic Aikido Throws | Sensei Ben Lim

Here Sensei Ben Lim goes over some concepts of basic Aikido throws.

[@taekfute]

Aikido helps you to learn how to roll and fall correctly and that's an extremely important skill

[@youniskurdi2604]

You can’t actually use wrist locks in grappling especially if you have some in a good hold wrist locks is an bonus

[@taekfute]

Aikido is basically for getting out of threathening situations to protect yourself and if possible get out of the situation immediately

[@EuroS50]

A lot of people who put down Aikido don't understand its based from Kenjutsu (sword fighting essentially). They're locks and throws to fight against someone with a sword if you didn't have one. Its sole purpose is for disarming / disabling an attacker instead of progressing to a (sword) fight. In that way it works great against someone with a weapon in their hands. In these moves, picture a sword being in the attackers hand, and realize the attacker's main focus is the weapon in their hand for fighting, not their actual hands. When you realize that it makes perfect sense as a martial art. It's not supposed to replace a martial art more based in striking, or typical hand to hand fighting. It's more traditional and has its roots in a time where swords were the primary weapons carried - not guns or fists. Imagine the power such a martial art had back in that time. If you were good, you denied your enemy any method of harming you, and essentially embarrassed and shamed them if they couldn't strike you. That's huge in Japanese culture.

This video is amazing. So many techniques demonstrated with such beautiful technique all in one video! Subscribed.

[@minorityofone1510]

Many thanks for this video 👍As a jiu jitsu sensei who just began Aikido I can see how many of the finishes / throws can be adapted to 'finish' the uke (attacker). For example in the last throw instead of just moving the head gently down with a circular forearm motion it could be a throat strike to disable or even kill

[@siyanawagaming5976]

Looks cool and effective but will be hard to initiate in a fight that’s why I don’t really practice aikido too much and focus on grappling and shrinking martial arts more.

[@ExplorationUnexplained]

A lot of people it seems don't understand why aikido throws seems so "effortless" if you will, I don't do aikido myself, however I understand how it works because I train in traditional Korean martial arts that has a lot of joint locks. The reason they flip a lot of times is actually to keep their arms/wrists whatever from being broken like a chicken wing. And while aikido might not be the world's greatest striking martial art, if somebody had like a machete and was going to try to hack me to death with it, you best believe I would rather know aikido than jui jitsu or kickboxing or something

[@guriguri6563]

That would explain the motion the student has in the video (straight arm falling forwardly extended), the way he fights is the way a person with a machete would handle himself.

[@lionsden4563]

Aikido by itself will not work against a resisting opponent.

[@wooshifgay462]

Wrestling would be better in all cases

[@rashidajamshaid7996]

I love aikido

[@wyattthacker3679]

To me aikido is like a "side" martial art. Its strong suit is disarming people with a gun or knife if you're in a good position and you have good reflexes. When doing hand to hand, learn some MMA or karate

[@ilikesteak2666]

aikido is for defence , not offense

[@wyattthacker3679]

@@ilikesteak2666 your comment seems like it was posed as a disagreement, when really it sounds more like an agreement

[@minorityofone1510]

If you already know a martial art the precision of Aikido makes you think about your own practice

[@bladedspokes]

But how does it work when someone is actually trying to fight you?

[@BudoBrothers]

I would not suggest such a traditional art for street fights.

If u say in a striking situations thats where small n large joint manipulation is easy to minpulated n off balance them.

So relax dont just trying to grab wrist thats stupid n take punches 😭😭 odds are people are to quick or combat sports wise they will.feint n u wont be abe to grab them ( i find that in real fights aint much jabbing 😂 alot of commiting on strikes ......but side note( im bad at using this i phone sorry guys.😅😅🙏🏽🙏🏽....)

So from the top ... grip fighting comew after u defend the strikes probabaly notice a patern n some how got into a postion with ur opponent to expose them to som kinda grip...... u use ur longest too closest types of joint manipulation...so like you shouldn learn to shift ur weight into them then u should only should if ur close enough if not then use what u got .... A finger or wrist or bicep or tricep sleeve grip ....body lock / head grip....then thats da fight seeing how ur opponent reacts to the throws u attempt n u connect different combinations of tech but again that wont work possible but thats all tori mind set really u wanna have the ukemi moves u need to be able to react to ur opponents even theregrips not always applying force going with his center of gravity ........look true self defense traditional there is no useless movement ur just not doing it right .😤...use what u got dont go for some move ur gd at only thats some water down mind set do what is available to u ..... slowly get closer cuz low key closer u are to ur opponent esp in a street fight for a juijustu guy u wanna be centered very important but its the safest thing .... Akido is very effective its teaching you concepts for situations that do present them selves to think its not effective its only cuz alot of guys grew up in a time of peace most struggle to well apply it but judo guys do pull off all kinds of throws and greco roman wrestling does a impressive job but some how judo focuses more on full body throws getting under there center and sacrifice etc throws(obvousily foot sweeps ) ....akido is teaching alot of full minpaultuion n small joint minpulation n tbh i think its deff a bit more effctive for street fighting becuase most guys wont be sitting like wrestlers wit a wide base gd akido will make u scared to hold on to a grip on a mans sleeve🤦🤦🙏🏽🙏🏽😪🔥🔥 and i guess bjj (mind aswell mention it focuses on the ground lol n they either learn judo or wrestling to compensate for the lack of was to get a tack down gracies was ffamous for being tough taking shots to grab n drag people.down even pulling guys on top of them.but peep Japanese jujstu is pure juijujstu.

With all respect i dont think any of these techniques will work on the street and even the martial art itself, on one throw he didnt even touch the guy when "throwing" him. With that all said, i still respect the martial art for what it is

[@BudoBrothers]

This art is definitely not meant for street tactics. Aikido is built for body movement and flow. Sensei Ben Lim is in his mid 70’s and still rolls around better then most 20 year olds🙌

i believe it is being done that ways so the "attacker" in this scenario is not hurt

[@joshhernandez5069]

This is bullshido. One, no one is going to ever attack you that way, with a huge, telegraphed, slow motion overhand Karate chop. They're going to be throwing lightning fast punches and kicks and shooting takedowns. Two, that guy is literally throwing himself on the ground, hes not being flipped by your little wrist lock. I guarantee if you try that move against a strong, sturdy opponent who is RESISTING, you will not be able to throw him or make him do those ridiculous flips and rolls hes doing. This is just complete nonsense. Don't believe me? Search for videos of an Aikido Practitioner versus an MMA fighter. The Aikido guys cant get one single technique to work in the fight. Completely useless moves.

[@zaco-km3su]

No Josh, it's not. You see, at least some of these technnique can be easily adapted for common types of attacks. If you oppose any of those techniques you can end up with something broken. Oh...so some MMA guy likes to brag and post stuff on the net and you think that's the real world. MMA is bullshit mate. You might win a few fights but when you lose...you lose big time. To be honest though, Aikido, Karate and many styles have been watered down.

[@Momsspaghetti777]

zaco 2121 why do you “lose big time” how is mma bullshit exactly? Learning to avoid punches and get techniques in on someone trying to smash your face is bullshit!?

[@Suyamu]

@@zaco-km3su Some of these techniques may have worked fine when fighting off a sword, but if you constantly train for attacks that are not likely to occur, you build muscle memory towards something you'll never need in a self defense situation. Also many of the techniques - at least as shown here - only work if your "partner" plays along. Put even a little bit of resistance into this and at the whole thing crumbles.

[@joshhernandez5069]

@@zaco-km3su "So some MMA guy likes to brag and post?" You have no idea what you're talking about. No, the video I was referring to was posted by an AIKIDO expert, not "some mma guy." He wanted to see the real world effectiveness of Aikido in a real fight. So he sparred with "some mma guy" and he couldn't get one single Aikido technique to work. See for yourself.

[@zaco-km3su]

@@Momsspaghetti777 Why do you lose big time? Because you get something broken or might end up paralised. MMA fighters fight by the rules because that's how they've trained (unless they also do martial arts) but in real life there are no rules. Besides, if you've had an official fight your rights to self defence are more limite than those of someone that hasn't because "you're a killing machi" or something. It doesn't matter if you learn to avoid punches. You learn to avoid punches in Aikido too. You only learn to "techniques in" on people that fight by the rules. You're exposing yourself when you don't have to.
