Kick Boxing and Aikido Applications

[@smokingbuddha2771]

My Aikido teacher loved to say "Soften up your opponent first then your Aikido will work just fine". I basically learned Boxing and Muay Thai during my Aikido lessons.

Thank You!

[@jamessur1983]

Excellent video! Rare to find an Aikido Sensi with a real knowledge of striking. It blends well!

[@daneharden1317]

Thank You!

Bjj black belt with additional experience in other martial arts (boxing, muay thai, tkd and hapkido) here. This looks very interesting. I have seen other demostrations of Aikido that make it look like cooperative dancing, but this looks like an honest approach to a common self defense situation. In fact, entering and jamming a strike is a common strategy to transition into a clinch.

Combine Striking and Grappling = True form of martial arts

[@leandganie7714]

Damn right

[@scottboltwood4934]

Great detail to explain the strategy of this. So in line with Master Shioda who emphasized that we always enter and turn into attacks. I've learned so much in this video--thank you Master Harden!

There are a lot of ill informed people out there and it’s nice to see another “knuckle dragger” of aikido keeping it functional. Too many haters and too many passive aikidokas that are doing harm to the style. Yes, I know the “do” exists for a reason, but to me what you are doing is truly keeping it alive.

[@daneharden1317]

Thank You so very much!

That’s awesome - Thanks for watching!!

This shows aikido can work

[@adcyuumi]

If you do not know how to defend yourself, Aikido cannot teach you how. If you already know how to defend yourself, Aikido is incredibly powerful. ... Why Aikido gets a bad rap: - Most of Aikido's technique arsenal is prohibited in sport environments. - Wrist/finger control is much more difficult vs gloves and taped wrists. - Most Aikido teachers know only soft Aikido, not the harsher orginal art. - Aikido's techniques largely assume an aggressor is moving toward you. ... If you ever get jumped in the street vs multiple (hopefully unarmed) opponents, the martial art most likely to save your life is Aikido. It is not a dueling martial art where you square off with an opponent and out-strike, out-wrestle, or out-grapple them. It is a battlefield martial art designed to keep you on your feet, get you back onto your feet should you fall, dispatch an opponent in ONE TECHNIQUE, and move in a way that keeps you aware of your surroundings (usually using your footwork both during and after a technique. It is designed, from the ground up, to take on multiple opponents. Aikido can be boiled down to one principle -- if nobody has grabbed you, that means you can run away. As soon as people begin trying to force you into a fight, Aikido shines.

Perfect performance, Master. I have a question: how did you become so fast and agile? 2:35 Here you block the punch, elbow and then punch him in 2 seconds. If I were your opponent I'd be KO in half a second😂

[@daneharden1317]

You’re very kind🙏⭕️. I am pushing 70 years in age and the answer is consistency and perseverance - even with injuries from military service to my hip and pelvis (fractures) time and training - motion is lotion as they say…Thank You for the kind remarks. 🙏

I am in Kokikai Aikido Sensei Dane Harden

[@Shinbusan]

Hater would say, there is one attack of uke, and four moves of tori. I do not want to be hater but please consider.

[@daneharden1317]

Chris Thanks for the honest comment. No worries - the opening attack of a haymaker is the more common opening assault. The idea of the rapid one-two strike is done in order to prevent an open transition. Transition is a lock boxing term Joe Lewis used to describe a “pause” between movements. Like Atemi is used to interrupt an assault. We tend to get hit in the transition points - so the training concept is to press the advantage created by the attack. Many similar principle involving the momentum of battle that we use in the military - a cool historical quote by Nathan Bedford Forrest was “to keep up the scare”...momentum once initiated has to be rapidly pressed. That’s always very difficult to do on a training series video. Thanks so much! Dane S. Harden, Colonel - US Army (Retired)

The elbow point entry stuns the opponent which is chance for the choke

[@Gauntlets]

*reads kickboxing and aikido * There's a style of Muay Boran (muay thai) dat actually has aikido in it! Do they practice actual live combat tho? I keep forgetting da name of it. I wanna say "Muay Chaisawat," but dat's either misspelled, or... da wrong name... I thought of dat style reading da title.

This is all super if you have cooperation of your opponent.

[@daneharden1317]

Appreciate your opinion. In order to learn proper responses it often does require some degree of cooperation to develop skillsets. Combat is of Course a very different animal indeed and something I have experienced several times. I respect your point and agree in some ways. I had fought in full contact kick boxing etc…all of those experiences don’t begin to describe Srebrenica or Fallujah…for my own sanity - returning to classical martial arts has helped me gain perspective and balance. Thank You and with respect all levels and varieties of training have value - and of course real experience carries its own lessons on our inhumanity and brutality. 🙏🙏 Respectfully, Dane Harden Colonel U.S. Army (Retired)

[@truthquotes307]

This can only be done in slow motion and film making.. not in real violence and aggression... don't mislead people

[@daneharden1317]

Appreciate your opinion - I have used many martially applicable techniques while serving as a soldier in various combat settings. It is difficult - to present anything approaching the reality of true combatant attack and the stress duress and fear that occur in combative situations. This is meant as a training video - so with respect I do appreciate your opinion in regard to speed, timing and aggression - it is training that can and often does prepare an individual for a combat situation. And finally - no I am not misleading people - on that I disagree - it is training for the nuance of trainings purpose - Thank You for your opinion.

I disagree with your statement Sir. The first part of the movement was taught to me by my father long ago to get "inside" of a fighter with superior reach and height. It works in real world app.
