Collecting BJJ Blue Belt Tears With Aikido

[@KuzushiKev]

Was about to finally go to sleep, then I saw Aikiluca had other plans… Seeing aikido, judo, and BJJ, work together in harmony is like watching the power rangers form the Megazord. All the parts come together to make something streamlined and fluid.

[@aikistudio111]

I appreciate it brother! ✌️🌊

[@joeg7096]

Super cool, props to you for actually showing it in sparring. I watch insane amounts of grappling videos to see rare techniques and this is literally the first time I've seen it executed successfully in sparring. What additionally sticks out to me is you integrate it well with other grappling, its no gi so things are slippier, and you don't have particularly large hands so it doesn't seem attribute based. Very impressive!

[@shivabreathes]

This is interesting. Aikido + Grappling sounds like a very effective combination.

[@aznboi1027]

Aikido is grappling, you mean with other forms of grappling.

[@leonardovegaolmedo5483]

​@@aznboi1027 i think it has to do with sparring. I did tai cho firvseversl years and found it to be a big help for wrestling, when combined with other styles

[@StantonBikes-p4s]

Trained 7 yrs Akido when I was younger (20’s) found it mildly useful … now I’ve been doing BJJ for 4 yrs (blue belt) and I’ve started adding Akido in for takedowns and controls. I’m at the beginning with it but I’m finally seeing its true uses in combat! Great vid, I can totally relate! Please more examples and techniques on this sir! 🙇🏼‍♂️

[@EmmaBeilharz]

Legend 🤓🙌

[@GecOh77]

Kote gaeshi is super useful against seated guards

[@jiutjitsuwithsul]

I did aikido for 23 years. I get it. Jiujitsu for 4 currently a purple belt. This level of training is rare. You can see how much focus and intent Luca puts into his training. It’s phenomenal

[@aikistudio111]

I appreciate it brother ✌️

[@fierywrath214]

I remember seeing rokas try a wrist lock on seth (who is also a champ) and it not "working" but I did notice his body was very much off balance and thought why not setup a takedown glad to see Im not alone

[@aikistudio111]

Wrist locking a sumo national champ wouldn’t be too easy 😅 @SenseiSeth come to Aus! 🇦🇺 lets find out 😮‍💨

[@MChannel-sv5ct]

awesome!

[@jamesbyrne3033]

Thanks for sharing.

[@maxpower9063]

Nice dude 🎉

[@giovannimendez4672]

As a purple belt I always want it to cross train with aikido but always got lazy to pass all the bllshido first. Cool that you already have good experience on more high percentage techniques

[@JJ-tr6rx]

Brilliant video dude, I'm so happy to see the mix of styles

[@RobBerks]

IMO This will be what someone like John Danaher will work on and incorporate in the future and may be part of the next phase in sub grappling meta. Really interesting, thanks for posting

[@jakefarrell4184]

Rokas of Martial Arts Journey should learn from you.

[@aikistudio111]

Would love to collab with him

[@romansalvatierra5521]

This is amazing to see. I think that grappling should evolve way more than just bjj and wrestling techniques, and incorporate judo and aikido as well, you can see this with Justin Flores who is a black belt in both judo and bjj, but also a former d1 wrestler, how he mix everything together and performs very god and smooth takedowns with more efficiency and dominance in the transition to the bjj techniques. If we also incorporate more of this aikido techniques we could have a more diverse, efficient and beautiful fights

[@BD90..]

If you have it figured out. Well done sir.

[@danieldelanoche2015]

Roy Dean, a very legit BJJ black belt started off in Judo and Aikido, then transitioned to BJJ, and blends all 3 arts very beautifully.

[@robertetin1156]

I think just about any serious Judo or BJJ student will acknowledge that studying Akido techniques will be useful for someone who already has significant Judo or BJJ knowledge. Especially in a purely grappling scenario. The issue most people have with Akido is that it is generally taught without live sparring or any other type of near full resistance. And I think this is in large part because it seems to focus on the more complicated or intricate moves and combinations within the old jujutsu curriculum, the ones you would normally learn only after you would learn the more basic moves that Judo and BJJ focus on.

[@jamesbyrne3033]

@robertetin1156 That’s not really an issue since a lot of people who practice aikido, aren’t interested in sparring and all those who are can do so if they wish. The issue that most people have with aikido is that they try to judge it before they learn even the first thing about it.

[@grasslandgraphics]

this is where it's at man. but soon you'll see some of the big name bjj guys naming aikido techniques after themselves.

[@MarcSolomonScheimann]

Nice judo techniques👌🏼

[@redpill2225]

Growing up in the 90s as a kid watching Steven Seagal, I found him more interesting than any martial artist of the time. Just flipping people around, only to find out it doesnt work that way in real fights 🤣 i would get punched, elbowed, headbutted trying to do his moves. Judo however worked well. I also loved hapkido

[@TheUberHammer]

Started with Kuk Sool Won. I've got nothing but shit about it, until I started doing BJJ. I can't tell you how instrumental KSW as been in my success starting BJJ. People really underestimate the similarity between all arts. I do wish I could get those wrist locks more often!

[@kanzenheiwa]

I’ve trained in several arts to include Aikido and BJJ. The wrist and joint locks from Aikido translate very well to your BJJ Game. You always got to experiment, that is how you learn. When I was a white belt in BJJ, I was known as a dirty wrist locker. 😂

[@KingMob4313]

The alive arts of BJJ and Judo all you to access the esoterica of aikida.

[@BramBramSyailendra]

just wakes me up..combining the 3s, judo,jujitsu(bjj) and aikido..maybe taiji also

[@ThanhLongOU]

Love the aikido hand fight/control

[@Villainyjustified]

Rokas could never!!!😂

[@nappyheaded]

I mainly use oshi taoshi, shomen-ate and usiro-ate in bjj. Sometimes other stuff pops up but these are the main techniques I use.

[@danielscorner]

Interesting that osoto gari is basically a tenchinage application. Even sumi gaeshi looks like an application of iriminage omote :)

[@CHRISTICAUTION]

This is really cool. Do you know a good online resource that goes in depth about these techniques?

[@aikistudio111]

I’ll release all sorts of related content/instructional as we go. Stay in the loop ✌️

[@masuriasudjana9732]

Irimi nage 😊

[@ricardorodriguez4180]

I like sankyo as RNC defense. Before they can establish the choke of course

[@NYTomiki]

From inside the guard I caught a few Kote Mowashi (Nikyo?)… Ude/Waki Gatame (Rokkyu?) all day long.

[@kristianOLS]

I hit gendan ate (kokyu ho?) sometimes. It’s pretty good from turtle when the angle is right

[@nappyheaded]

I wish I could see how you do wakigatame from inside someone's guard it sounds interesting.

[@nappyheaded]

@@kristianOLS I'm not good at gedan-ate but I realize it's a useful technique.

[@NYTomiki]

@ kote mowasho from guard; waki gatame was standing,m

[@dylan_krishna_777]

Does wristlocks look very familiar with Japanese jiu jitsu, where i have some experience in. Is there a big difference between aiki jiu jitsu/aikido and Japanese jiu jitsu in your opinion?

[@aikistudio111]

Not a big difference technically, depends on the schools. Mainly the philosophy and methodology of practice varies. They all share the same parent arts so it’s common to see the same techniques spread throughout them.

[@DanTheWolfman]

What did I ReStart or refind 😅

[@axvlife]

You are here by charged with the task of revolutionizing the art of Aikido so that it fits in the modern world and becomes viable. Kano did it to Jujutsu, Many Brazilians have been involved with the evolution of BJJ (Some families claim more than others), You can do the same for Aikido. Keep what's good, push off what's bad. Or don't. Its up to you.

[@acr08807]

@axvlife The point of aikido isn't effectiveness in a fight.

[@Bagoth2]

When you do the wrist lock and they pull guard why not press down with the foot or the knee on the chest? Is that illegal or something in bjj ruleset? I mean i get it, it looks like you could break a sternum doing

[@ryanthompson3446]

Not sure the point, you have been grappling judo and jitsu, so clearly you will do well with jitsu blue belts regardless of what other martial arts inspire your style, the fundamentals of grappling and understanding the task of what you are doing because you have been doing it live is why it works for you. Remember jiu jitsu is not a list of moves jiu jitsu is an approach to grappeling.
