Counter techniques, KAESHI WAZA, against aikido techniques, by Stefan Stenudd

Here is a new edit of this video:
• Counters to aikido tec...
This is kaeshiwaza, counter techniques to several basic aikido techniques. I see it as a practice to improve the aikido techniques towards a point when they can no longer be countered.
In kaeshiwaza, you counter an aikido technique with another (or the same) aikido technique. It should be practiced with care to avoid injuries. Resisting aikido techniques can be harmful if not done correctly. Therefore, it's a good idea to go slowly and gently at first.
There is one simple rule to kaeshiwaza: timing. You can counter an aikido technique at certain moments of it and not at others. Those are moments when the person doing the technique tries to take over control. You can avoid it by applying aikido principles - accepting and then redirecting the force. So, you're using aikido also when countering aikido techniques.
Kaeshiwaza helps to discover flaws in your techniques, and correct them. So, after practicing kaeshiwaza counters, you should also try to change your technique to withstand the counters - but carefully, or you may get hurt. As with all aikido practice, it should be done in a spirit of cooperation, for the benefit of both participants.

Your video are tremendous Thank you very much for sharing

[@andrear.martino6560]

Thank you for your interesting video, Stenudd Sensei: it gave us a lot of food for thought.

[@StefanStenudd]

Andrea R. Martino, that pleases me greatly.

[@jasonsantiago4480]

Good review on this never heard of this term before

[@leoacosta7994]

Thanks for the video.It is good to see the draw of a counter technique and it drives to me to emphazise the "kuzushi" to avoid a counter technique.

[@StefanStenudd]

Leo Acosta, kuzushi is definitely useful to avoid counters. So is paying attention to detail in the aikido techniques.

[@hernanperez7310]

Thanks a lot sensei for this vids. Are much important for those of us who are following this way. I hope you don't angry if i use it for my exams. Thank you sensei.

[@StefanStenudd]

Hernan Perez, I am delighted that you find use for my video. Thank you for your kind words.

merci beaucoup

[@OwenSchaffer]

Thank you for putting these videos online! Do you plan to do one like this for henka waza? Would love to see a Koshinage video! Thank you Stenudd Shihan!

[@StefanStenudd]

Owen Schaffer, henkawaza is a great idea. I put that on my to-do list. As for koshinage, I already made a video ten years ago. The video quality is not the best, though. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXbCn32kbdOoaZI

[@OwenSchaffer]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing that video. Oh, I meant a koshinage video "against grip and strike attacks", showing many different koshi nage in slow motion and then full speed, like your newer videos. If you have time, that would really help me prepare for my upcoming 1st kyu test (4/13/18) because I have to do 5 koshi nage from different attacks. No big deal if you don't have time. :-) I think henka waza is on the shodan test, so I'm looking forward to that video as well. Thank you, Stenudd Shihan!

[@StefanStenudd]

Sorry, but I will probably not post a koshinage video in time for your test. Anyway, good luck with it!

[@Athanatoi]

I remember I found some of those Aikido counter techniques myself before even my Sensei started to teach me Keashi Waza

[@StefanStenudd]

Aikido inspires creativity. When I was a beginner I tended to do the ura forms of techniques although our teacher showed omote. It was before he had taught us ura, so he was quite amused. I think it was because I had learned that aikido should be done without resistance or force. Ura often seemed the smoother way.

[@78yoda7800]

is any of this practiced with resistance? what if you get punched or kicked?

[@H4I2I2EE]

No, not most of the time, but it's not a black and white world. Training partners will test and resist you. The thing you have to realize though is that if you are forcing a technique with your strength directly against their strength or resistance(when they still have their balance) then you are no longer doing Aikido.

[@Axl18289]

1. yes 2. doesn't matter - there is different videos on that subject (punching, kicking)

[@78yoda7800]

makes sense, it does have a nice flow to it

[@mightymac1005]

Thats a cool dance

[@StefanStenudd]

"It's a lot like dancing." (Terry Dobson)

[@denzuko1]

I believe it is more than a dance. It looks more like a zen like state of practice, feeling the motion and just doing it.

[@christophepage9216]

Kaeshiwaza n'est possible que si la technique est mal faîte. Si une technique d'Aikido est parfaitement exécuté, kaeshiwaza est impossible. Essayez de faire kaeshiwaza sur un véritable expert !! Alors plutôt que d'enseigner Kaeshiwaza, efforçons-nous d'enseigner un Aikido où le contre est toujours impossible ! Dans cette démo, l'uke est facile à contrer, mais parce-que son niveau (faible) le permet.

[@StefanStenudd]

Christophe Page, it seems you did not read my text right below the video. It says: " I see it as a practice to improve the aikido techniques towards a point when they can no longer be countered." And later in the same text: "Kaeshiwaza helps to discover flaws in your techniques, and correct them." Of course, a perfectly done technique can't be countered - or it would not be perfect. But kaeshiwaza is a good way of getting there. You say that the counters are easy on this demo, because the uke is weak. Couldn't it be because I'm good at it ;)

[@FreiheitsIngenieur]

What an interesting display of French chauvinism :) Not only does he expect everyone to speak French, but if you watch his violent execution of techniques in his "Aikido demonstration" video you can clearly see his little understanding of Aikido principles. Another fine example of how rank often does not correlate with skill...

[@juniorkanyinda6962]

Mais on sait bien que le KAESHIWAZA nous aides à voir les fautes. Car qui de nous peut prétendre qu’il ne commet pas d’erreur en exécutant une technique?

[@romeorazvansimici3126]

Another laughable moovie... aikido clown world... you just made aikido a laughable martial art....and where is the martiality in this clip?

[@StefanStenudd]

@Romeo, martiality? Maybe you hoped for the hostility you express in your comments on my videos. I prefer an aikido that's laughable to you. Enjoy :)

@Romeo Razvan Simici Aikido isn't a fighting system but defense system with weapon mainly, sword and knife，70% with weapons according to the founder of Aikido O-sensei Morihei Ueshiba。In training, the weapon are not hold in order to make it simple. But always imagine, that the aikido people have had weapon in the hand. That is why many attack technique by aikido are grabbing the hand. The weapon are: sword kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4a9f5V8e7yYf7c knife (regular 2 pieces in the hand) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ2xmp-Gj6t0e80 If you were MMA fighter, you wouldn't have any chance to win by attacking an aikidoka.
