I love the draped bedroom curtains. makes the attacker feel all drowsy. smart!

[@hamidsallak5615]

Vraiment c'est la base qui compte

[@footballsamurai]

The dream like quality of this video matches the skill demonstrated. In what Universe would any of this work against a real attack?

[@andrewdangelo2454]

Why do you think or require that it’s supposed to be working in a fight? It’s an art form that’s using martial movement drills to educate the body… it’s not trying to be “practical “ … both people in the video have done combat sports, they know the difference

[@dawidl6970]

Maybe they should stop pretending they doing Aikido and change the name of that art?@@andrewdangelo2454

This is nice dancing with 100% cooperative/passive partners. Amazing how many people believe the advertising that this is martial whatsoever. Go back to Daitoryu if you want something that has martial value.

[@mraffabilityGB]

All very pretty, but is it practical? The attacks looked a bit airy fairy to me.

[@juhas514]

The attacks are imitations of attacks with katana, but without the sword. They're not supposed to be practical, it's all a theatre.

⁠@@juhas514What the hell??? 😂 Aikido movements are from the Katana but designed for hand to hand combat. There is no theater, the movements and principles were made to avoid confrontation through deflection and technique.
