Conditioning your TENKAN - using resistance weight training | ROGUE WARRIORS FITNESS

[@WayFinder42]

I really like the incorporation of Aikido and gym training, makes me much more interested in going to the gym. I have to remind myself that while Aikido may not rely on strength, it never said strength isn't important. O'sensei himself was known for his strength. Thanks Sensei!

[@Darkart123]

This is motivation to get to the gym and build that connection without the distractions. We all need this. Great job.

[@JoseGarcia-gk3bx]

Lenny the use of resistance training in Aikido structure is highly underrated . I loved both the tenkan and the ikyo

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Thank you. I’m looking at a few other ways to develop resistance through weight training.

[@timothybutts6412]

Thank you very much. An outstanding lesson.

Body condition separates the mice from the men, great video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@lwbw33]

Awesome video Sensei. I emailed your main website with some question before I sign up. Looking forward to more videos.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Ok

[@canadiannavigator3346]

Excellent !!! This is much needed and having a regular segment is something I would encourage. I’ve done these same movements using heavy bands. 1. For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. 2. Posture improves tremendously ( tai sabaki ). 3. Cho Shin Ryoku improves tremendously because you feel the sticking points in your body movement combined with your technique ... you know exactly where uke is going to be heavy ! 4. Kokyu Ho ( breathing ) improves. Breathing, posture, body movement all become more fluid. Timing becomes better. 5. Kernel training was a fundamental game changer as well. I played football ( OL ). I gave up heavy lifting in favour of strength and speed. Here’s the kicker: my power came back ... only better ! 6. Take up some type of cross-fit training. I’m not a cross fitter ; but can you do bear crawls? pull ups? pistol squats? Lift rocks? Push and pull sleds? Flip tires? Be fit! Be functional ! Train like a Spartan ! Osu !!

Thank you very much Sensei Sly. I'm definitely trying it tomorrow when I go to the gym after work.

[@montejocervera]

Ok. I did try it. Although I started with 15 pounds to get used to it. I added 5 more pounds and then I felt the weight.my front deltoid and chest were the ones I used the most.

[@nabobgreen2070]

Thanks for the upload of this video I learned something, I never thought of.

[@ronobvious1785]

Couldn't hit the gym yesterday and can't today either. But, I did just try this out using some resistance bands and I can already see the value of this exercise. My bands aren't really strong enough to provide enough resistance for muscle building but they did show me a couple of places where I tend to give up my balance. Even a light pull against you is enough to take you off balance if you aren't careful. Trying this with real weight this week.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Great let me know how it goes at the gym.

[@ezekielgarza1150]

Yes, I have been doing this for a while, great core work out. I do other exercises also with resistance bands

[@rogerbyrd3524]

Great stuff cool Pink Floyd too 😁

Lenny, Good video. I've been enjoying watching you build your channel. Great content and you are getting much more relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Forget about the critics and focus on what you do. I'll keep watching and learning...Reid

[@Momsspaghetti777]

I’m a former hapkido practitioner, which is similar to aikido in many ways, has most of the same locks, and currently train mma. I’m hesitant to try lots of throws that I know because I understand they are more wrist breaks than throws, and I can hurt someone badly if they don’t know the correct ukemi. Which throws do think are suitable to be done on people with poor ukemi? Ones that are fairly aikido-istic. I’m trying to incorporate more unorthodox stuff into my style

[@canadiannavigator3346]

Mom’s Spaghetti ... Yoshinkan aikido here ... respect to my hapkido brothers ! Keep training

[@asteriskcolon]

Kokyu nage if you can get the right grips and kuzushi (may be harder without a gi) Irimi nage if you can pull it off Koshi nage is good, though that may end up looking more like Judo, depending how you get into the hip throw Juji nage and tenchi nage are good if you can make them happen You can potentially use Aikido locks as submissions, standing or on the ground (bottom guard, top mount) rather than throws if that's more your speed. If they ukemi, so be it. But if they tap... standing or anywhere else... that's the end of the match. And if they do get a broken wrist... well, maybe they should not be doing MMA if they're so concerned about not getting injured. If you correctly apply Nikkyo, it should be extremely disruptive (they'll very likely tap) while also having a low risk for injury. Same goes for Sankyo applied correctly, but I think Sanyko is actually harder to apply correctly against resistance, and the risk of injury is potentially much higher. BJJ positional rolling is a good proving ground for learning to incorporate Aiki locks against resisting opponents who may not understand ukemi or the techniques you're trying to do to them -- that's my main way of pressure testing Aikido, but not my only way. I've never broken anyone's wrist in BJJ. People tap pretty quick when they feel a lot of pain they don't understand, in my experience. Regular BJJ sparring is not supposed to be a deathmatch anyway.

[@cinedeautor6642]

EXCELLENT

[@AlexanderGerasimov]

Very interesting excercise. Thank you. As far as TENKAN is essentially basic technique I have some questions which will be great to answer in following videos. 1. How does front foot and knee works while doing TENKAN with preliminary sliding? As I can see you leave your front leg is in uncomfortable position in the end of move. Front foot looks to the right with big angle to the center line plane in the end and the shank is inclined outside to the right (if right leg is the front leg) while moving. 2. Where is position of wrist while turning? Is it right over the knee (shank) or it can go inside or outside of shank line? 3. Should the foot and knee turn with the body while doing TENKAN to look right to the UKE center line?

[@warriormanhasdied6479]

In regards to food consumption, I highly recommend 1 lid (if it comes in a bottle) of black seed oil per day. It keeps your stamina under rigorous physical activity and decreases recovery time by factor of 10.

[@daswordofgork9823]

I like this kind of video, never a fan of just exercising, mainly because of 1: my school and 2: I see it like medicine, I don't like it but it is very helpful for you. Still a great way to add new content to your video Lenny.

[@jadsontorres3585]

For more videos like this !!!

[@Jiyukan]

The only problem I see, is: you automatically get into a pulling motion. However during e.g. Gyakuhanmi Katate Dori you want to put pressure on the contact point into the center of Uke, and not pull him. But for an exercise once a while I guess it is ok.

[@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13]

Ok you don’t understand this. I’m not pulling at all and I clearly demonstrated that I’m NOT pulling. I showed the difference between pulling and turning. Maybe you missed it but watch it again.

[@angeloschneider4272]

@@SLYSCOMBATIVECONCEPTS13 Of course I understand it. You are not pulling with your arm muscles. But you are pulling the weights up. In a correct application the weights would be static!! But you are pulling them up!! And in the end your arm (actually during the whole exercise) would/should put pressure into the contact point, with the goal to nail the feet of Uke to the ground. You are forcing the Uke to move forward. Just look at your own video and see the weights getting lifted up: that is wrong! The only benefit of your exercise is to learn the structure of the body, but the flow of the mechanical forces is in the wrong direction ... no worries we sooner or later meet somewhere and I explain person :P

ROGUE WARRIORS TV it’s weird man come on

[@oldnatty61]

Very creative. Good shit. I disagree on just a few points. First, it's not "cable resistance". It's weight resistance. The cable just attaches to the weight. Second, from what I see most claiming to be martial artist are fat slobs. The Martial Arts in America have become like gold. This is very problematic for me 'cuz I take this shit seriously. And if one claims to be a martial artist whether they understand this or not they are claiming to be a Warrior. And a Warrior is required by code to maintain combat readiness. I see a lot fat MacDonald eating slobs w/ colorful belts, but not many Warriors. And let me just add I see some skinny knobs who still aren't in shape. Lastly, it's good your shoes don't slide. That's more realistic.
