What we're going to cover right now is a basic technique that you'll find in any Aikido dojo. It's called Iriminage. It literally means an entering throw. We're going to show just a basic start-off, Ai Hanmi Katate Dori, which is a cross handed grab here. Again, like before, I want to blend with my opponent and allow that energy to go. I want to try as hard as I can to avoid the open hand. So, I'm going to move away from the open hand, Tenkan around, lift my partner, and back down.
So, again like in all the core Aikido techniques, my main objective here is to blend and move with my partner. Move behind, drop my weight, and take my partner with me. Lift, and drop.
I want to make sure not to leave my partner behind. I don't want to pull my partner. In aikido you always want to put yourself in a position to push, not pull. Behind my partner, push as you drop your weight, lift and extend, and drop.
Just because we're doing it from this grab doesn't mean this is the only way to do it. You can find Iriminage from almost anywhere. I'll show you that from a couple of different positions. Shomenuchi is very similar movement. Sukui; again, a very similar movement.
As this starts to speed up you'll see that it changes a little bit in terms of Ukimi. So, Shomenuchi. Sukui. Alright.
Iriminage.

One can't help but notice how softly the Uke falls/rolls in this clip. Thanks for posting!

[@SomeGuy-em1pn]

not only are these some of (if not THE) easiest to follow Aikido instructionals I've ever found online, it's also one of the best looking dojos I've ever seen. That aged wooden trunk set to form the right wall of the kamiza is just inspired. Everything functional, neat, practical and harmonious, if that doesn't encompass the spirit of Aikido, I don't know what does. If only that random bit of intrusive plumbing on the bottom left of screen could be hidden.

[@paulofrota3958]

Seriously... this dojo is a work of art.

[@learningisfun4315]

Wait until a street fight breaks up

[@firsst6779]

@Learning is fUn doesn't matter. Aikido is way too perfection body and mind. Other martial arts are more effective. If you looking for only fight go to KrafMaGa Tahi box and other. Different styles for difference needs. I praktice Aikido and sometimes practice Tahi box with my friend who is master of Tahi box. In the past I was practice Taekwondo and I will never left Aikido. STREET FIGHT NEVER GIVE YOU SUCH balance and CALM OF YOUR MIND. Therefore everybody can choose what is good for him. Even of you are very good in street fight you have little chance against somebody with gun or knife. Martial arts teaching you how to avoid this situation and how to reach to harmony between your body and mind. But if you want only fight, Aikido is not for you.

[@aladinelb1047]

@@learningisfun4315 it really can be useful in street fights even if you choose to use the regular fighting technics, aikedo make you take falls and recover from them quickly. Make your body and mind work together.

[@chrismartin8820]

push and never pull, thanks for the advice (I just began Aikido this year and I really appreciate your lessons). Thanks a lot.

[@WhatIsMisophonia]

As someone who's been practicing Aikido for several years, I find his techniques a little too forceful and less blending. Yes, pushing is better than pulling, but I find that it's better to be next to the person rather than in front or behind because when you push, they will fight back.

[@followyourideas]

Push is actually incorrect too. Don't pull nor push, move. Move the entire body keeping your center. This is called idōryouku.

[@namentatic4978]

No. If he pulls you, you push him. If he pushes you, you pull him. The technique is depending of your opponent. That's correct in any martial art. And this man needs to blend more, without using force. After two minutes of demonstration, he started to breath hard.

[@JustMe-vz3wd]

@@followyourideas correct. pulling and pushing belongs to jujutsu. In aikido we use "aiki" which is exactly between pushing and pulling ^_^.

Just wanted to say thank you. I haven't been able to practice in a number of years, due to the fact there isn't a Dojo near me. I was missing it and just thought I'd search the app store. This was the fix I so desperately needed. Thank you so much Sensei for sharing your time and knowledge for an old student lost and without a home.

[@wayne9076]

Well done, bravo! Thank you for posting this.

[@alexeyvyakhorev2068]

Perfect introductory explanation. Push down and "lift-drop" - most common beginners mistakes. Thank you. The only important thing that is omitted is working with neck/shoulder/back during the "lift".

Hi, I do Jiu Jitsu for quite a while now, but most of the Coaches won't really know how to do Irimi Nage, so I'm trying to figure it out by myself, which is very hard -hardest throw I think. Thanks to your Video I get some ideas, that will help me learn this most elegant, beautiful throw.

[@asteriskcolon]

My sensei sometimes refers to it as the "twenty-year throw" since it takes twenty years of practice to master. I've done it seven years-- you don't need to train twenty years to get it to the point where you could do it in standing jujutsu/judo... but it may take a while to really get down.

[@bencebuda4599]

When you show it with real speed some of the versions look kinda similar to an Osoto gari or a Koshi guruma. As a judoka it's always nice to see that our styles have a common ancestry.

[@justarandompotato5206]

My grading is coming up soon and this is very helpful for review

[@TheHent66]

its a nice movement.. and a great information.

[@msouthworth1978]

Kudos Excellent Technique Sensei Mick Southworth Shichidan - Harabudokai Jujutsu.I wish my Irimi Nage was that flowing.

[@Cliff-Notes]

Uke (the attacker) and ukemi (the art of attacking and protective falling) is generally the under-appreciated role practiced by both training partners. Students tend to feel that the role of uke is lowly "grunt work" they must tolerate so that they can learn the cool aikido technique. But, one of the secrets to learning aikido is thru becoming a totally committed uke; laser focused; Zen-like - mind, body and spirit. It's not just "biding time" till it's your turn to throw somebody.

[@aikipablo100]

[@stephenhall2604]

Wow.. Impressive!

[@dustymiller65]

That would probably be the draw back of a martial art like Aikido. It takes a long time to learn, and and even longer time to master. But, once that time has elapsed, it will be worth it. Again, you need a lot of patience and time for this; don't be discouraged too much. Of course, you can always take something that offers a more practical application immediately like jujitsu, hapkido, etc. Find the "right" martial art for you and your body type (body's ability). Be patient.

[@mpartie]

Jones sensei knows the difference between katatekosadori and katatedori aihanmi. He knows they are the same thing. If you describe the technique by the relative hand positions of nage/tori and uke, you would call it kosadori, but if you describe it by the relative body positions, you would call it katatedori aihanmi. Just like grabbing the mirror side arm of your partner could be katatedori gyakuhanmi (or as you say, just 'katatedori.'). There is variation in terminology. Depending on what style you practice or where, the person performing the throw may be called nage, tori, or shi'te.

[@alfanhilmi1574]

beautiful ukemi

[@istiocitosi]

great!

[@LoviPon]

I don't know if anyone is still coming here, but I do have a question. I just started aikido a few months ago so I am by no means an expert, but when it comes to irimi nage my sensei always says not to drop your arm, because then you'll have to bring it back up and if your partner decides to put all his weight on your arm it becomes impossible. The key (he says) is to make use of the fact that he is moving forward to suddenly lift his chin and make him fall backwards (while keeping your other hand at the base of his neck to make sure he doesn't escape). So how does that tie in with how irimi nage is shown in the video?

[@zhoudiary]

your videos are very clear ! i'm preparing for tomorrow (5th kyu exam) and it helps me a lot thanks !

[@WowCoDShots]

What kyu are you at now? I'm training too.

[@DirtyCasual36]

uhm, can i ask those who actually practice aikido in a dojo as a person who's self practicing this at home and as a total beginner: can i do this if the opponent let's go of a grab during udekemie nage/kokyuho/kokyunage by using tinkong to get behind the opponent, then use iriminage?

[@user-ys5me3lw9q]

Best! Aikido Myrtle Beach

[@maceyrickard6836]

IF YOU JUST DROP HIM THROGH HIS WEEK LINE REATHER THAN THENSINAGE FINISH IS IT STILL IRIMI NAGE

[@AikidoJunky]

Well, technically, your job as uke is to attack :) Staying connected is part of protecting yourself (if you lose contact with nage, you have no idea where the next strike is coming from).

[@hpesojogladih9782]

Reminds me of Asuka and Jun Kazama Style 👍

[@lamichael19]

As ukemi, your job is to not let go, but this is really just for practice, as you get better you won't have to practice so slow and rely on their grab or ability to fall.

[@Mulberry2000]

nice

[@epicgamer3198]

tnx vey much im a black of aikido i win hakama very thxxxx

[@binohartoko6946]

He has trained break fall. Fall without harmed, so he can fill and learn full technique of thrower.

[@ademiranda2]

yes, the static grab is just a way to practice...most of the techniques can be generalized to strikes with no grabs. As you evolve in your practice, you are already in the middle of the technique before your opponent even completes a strike or grab. This is called "timing" and is what gives it almost a mystical feel at very advanced levels.

[@RandomUser_online]

Their break fall is so fluid i envy them

[@allgood6760]

Yes! 👍🥋

[@lamichael19]

But its way to subjective to measure who was better as thrower or grabber. Idk how you would measure points?

[@kendalisadouche]

Uke does a great job but I think the attacks should be more precise and realistic in terms of his movement towards nage and the speed of his attack.

[@abdenasserbendahmene5153]

It makes him stronger :)

[@luv2watchu2b2]

I wish I could like your comment more. It's always wonderful to see someone who gets it.

[@xsoidx]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nice!

[@JBwatches]

Well, you are right. I have seen masters fumble on the mat and fall into Jujitsu because they do not know how to deal with people. My first fight was in a crowd and I was terrified to hurt someone. It ended with me doing Ubi waza and throwing the guy down a flight of concrete steps. I have 15 years on you in training. That year I was in well over 500 plus fights. There are a lot of other factors that come into play that aren't taught in a dojo. Hope that helps.

[@Centrinario]

What is this instructor's name?

[@missmagpieph]

Can any1 tell me what the technique where you move the arm of uke out and then with your other hand pushes the head is called?

do you think sumi otoshi?

No it isnt, but THX anyway :)

[@aresa8948]

[@nhatminhvu355]

gamleoleph tenchi nage , maybe ?

[@user-nb8dm1gz2t]

Aikido was intended for those who already had a strong base (judo black belt) and not to he used by itself in combat..also with the way it's trained today most people aren't gonna be able to use it in a fight

[@KhadijahJoySams93]

Push don't pull. I get it now

[@Oncenplayer]

Iam interessted in if the master or sifu or whaterver you wanna call it was ever in a fight and was able to really throw his aponent around like the guy in the video because if he do it serius it really looks quite devastating and very effektive ^^

[@ricardopc73]

+Oncenplayer If you are looking for a real life fighting experience try MMA. Aikido is not about go out and try to show off about your skills. Now. if you find this beautiful and devastating i can tell you that it is beautiful, developing your mind and your spirit. Look for the nearest Aikido dojo in your city and ask to watch training, you will find it rewarding. Also, if you need to use your skills in real life you could do serious harm. Although sounds weird, Aikido is about peace, not fight anyone else, instead fight yourself trying to be better than yesterday.

[@AllAboutMarkus]

it's actually not that bad, you barely get hurt, almost fun. learning to fall really takes the edge off being the training dummy

[@castle6660]

Looks soooooooo good at full speed 1:53

[@lamichael19]

Yeah, it really is attacking, but you usually won't want to let go, cause then you'll likely be very exposed for a while.

[@SirDerpingston]

Look up how tissier sensei does it on ai hanmi. That's basically the way my sensei taught me: you shouldn't turn around. The mnemonic was you finish in the same direction that you started and uke should do 3 steps

[@walkingcorpse1224]

I think this would be more effective if u tripped the outer leg with the leg u have next to the side ur using to push upon the face, in which case it would turn into an Osoto Gari.

[@jamesfrankiewicz5768]

I've played with just that with a buddy. Yes, it's very effective. We are both have pretty good ukemi at this point, but after about four reps each, we were like... "no, that's enough, we are going to get concussions if we keep this up."

[@toughROCK100]

Si. Antes de ver este vídeo hace tiempo hacia esta técnica prácticamente jalando a mi compañero del cuello.

[@EstoyLigado]

Mike Jones

[@g.c.9904]

Love this. But never in my entire life I faced an opponent who would grab my wrist. Usually they started trying to punch me in the face or heabutting me.

[@ridleyroid9060]

Ok, so, as far as i was taught, you are meant to put your hand on the top of your partners head and basically act as you were dying and beging dropping to pull his head to your chest (and hold it there).

[@yeriw89]

It's a dance! Dance move. Move rapidly, move with the times. Like to say flow together but without damage ...it should be a sport...

[@falseprophet1972]

Wish I was that Ukes Chiropractor. Would make a killing off of cervical adjustment....

[@wanderowa]

The nage mustn't be lifted I think, he defends himself and wants to stand up. Then uke drops him.

[@playfulsteps9249]

wanderowa I guess the better word would be to lead the balance downward to off-balance, upward and then backdown.

[@antgarfer]

katate dori isn't crossed. The cross one is kosadori

[@siddg2743]

Noticed that he refers to his practice buddy as a partner, and not opponent. Very interesting.. Perhaps it is to do with the Aikido philosophy..

[@sophisticatedfart2368]

well since he is training it is his partner not opponent. If I remember correctly in aikido students respect each other a lot

[@humangs]

Maybe because it would never ever work against a resisting opponent.

[@diceman199]

Worked just fine for me when i needed it....maybe you should go try it rather than making statements about something you've never done?

[@erodi6956]

diceman199 Ignore the tapout troll. You know what works because you have done it. He won't, because he will never try.

[@diceman199]

Got side tracked...meant to comment on the OP. In training they are viewed as your partner rather than opponent as they are helping you to learn by providing you somebody to practice with. You'll often get much higher grades paired with lower grades. The lower grade gets the benefit of having somebody with more experience to train with while the higher grade gets to practice their teaching skills and has to review their understanding of the technique which improves their aikido too.

[@Spjungen]

Dude, these guys are good...great videos, seriously. Nice and simple, great attitude, but no pussyfooting at the same time. Dojo looks great as well except for that pipe in the corner xD Great stuff!

Is this just pure aikido and is it still useful in current times? Nobody attacks you in the way aikido trains How would aikido defend against the jab, hook, cross etc. How would this be used when a drugged up psycho is attacking you. He isn't grabbing you.

[@luc7478]

Classic Aikido purpose is to defend your self against a Sword or a knife. it's an ART and a Philosophy. the best Technique to defend yourself is to Run and avoid conflict. when you learn Akaido you can learn other martial arts to complement yiur defense

[@Hogruul]

Not really :). He learns even more how to use evasive and defensive moves. If he didn't know how to fall and when just imagine how his spine and arms would look like :).

[@milk-hama1877]

[@Bishop45acp]

First grab is Kosa dori, not Katate dori

[@kendalisadouche]

Irmantas Varačinskas Pretty sure that's always kosa dori

[@Bishop45acp]

No i don't know what exactly Kosa dori or Katate dori means, (though katate is one-hand) but i do know that katate dori is when you grab partner on opposite hand (left grabs right and vice versa) and kosa dori is when you grab partner on the same hand (left grabs left and right grabs right, resulting in diagonal grab when you are standing facing each other). There is nothing lolish about that and it is important to differentiate these two grabs. You do understand that, don't you?

[@Bishop45acp]

***** No it's not, its Ai Hanmi Kosa Dori

[@Bishop45acp]

you see, this is why i hate google +, you never know who is replying to you, who is replying to someone else in the comment chain. I mean, you do, but its stupid. As for your comment, thank you, you are right, since it is only ai hanmi, gyaku hanmi kosa dori would just be silly idea. It reminds me of a seminar with P. Corallini Sensei when he asked if we would like to see a technique and someone asked if he can show ushiro ryote dori ikyo, but suwari waza :D He kept his cool and just asked someone else, rest of us burst out laughing.

[@Bishop45acp]

Yeah, i get notification and i assume someone is replying to me. That( ***** ) tag i noticed just recently

[@Thadeka.]

u train form grabbing point to learn how to use his energy.its very hard and imposible to move ur partner if u dont know the techniek.when u know techniek and u know how to move then u can apply in real life situation where someone would push u or try to hit u u can use this techniek and he wil not get up

[@oshoval69]

When you push, Uke can stop graabing your hand and grab one/both your leg(s), your push is to deep. This Irimi nage is impossible with a responsive Uke

[@Ark626]

I think this is not quite perfect. You dont "lift" your partner in this technique. You turn round until he tries to get up and stretch his move to get up so he loses the balance. If you have to lift him you would have to use much more power which is not neccecary because he has to get up sooner or later
