[@Somnusrei]

Also, would like to point out to those complaining about the lack of resistance that the reason that they stopped using full on resistance combat training was because of the fact that Aikijujutsu is designed to cripple your opponent. The hand strikes target only vulnerable areas (face, throat, groin, etc.) and the holds demonstrated here are stopped before the full follow through. In Aikido, a lock ends with the opponent face down and passive. In Aikijujutsu, the lock ends with a broken bone.

[@senecaknowsbest8380]

That is one tough uke. It’s good to know that the instructor went thru this himself thousands of times to gain that skill

[@dianecenteno5275]

Nice demo! I started training Jujitsu in the late 80's and have used a couple of these Shio Nage variations in live sparring. They work! Much respect to all.

[@AllForManKind77]

That's why it still called until now Daito (Head of Palace) ryu (style), derived from ancient Oshiki Uchi technique,passed through the best of Takeda clan from Yoshimitsu Minamoto as the designer of this ancient art. Still exist until now from 700 years ago. Despite many people mock at the Aikido due the popularity of MMA stuff, Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu not the art that you want messed with. Some practicioner said: if the partner laugh thats Aikido, on the other hand, if the partner scream, that Daito ryu Aikijujutsu. Bow deeply with respect

[@dunciepunkie76]

Partner was laughing here also :)

[@laughingkars889]

Takeda Sokaku was a beast. I read that he was geared to fight at all times and therefore stood naturally in his fighting stance 🤯

[@SilentAdventurer]

By laughing I believe you mean at a sense of surprise. Kinda like wow!

[@AGENTORANGE007]

A very high level of skill!! Excellent!!

[@MMABeijing]

his breakfall skills tell the tale, he badass

[@SomeMadStuff]

This is incredibly good. I have so many things to rethink, learn and change in my style now. Thank you for posting this video! :)

[@KarateSambo90]

I love all the martial arts because all of is good for what it's designed for. Much love from Arkansas keep up the good work!!!

[@MrMynameisigal]

Wow ! Lookin Awesome !! i will love to train Daito Ryu !!

[@marcsteven5206]

Moiliili.. i remember those days.. fun classes bright energy.. Thanks Chris!!

[@longmenpai]

Marc Steven ;) nice memories.... stay in touch...

[@MrAntonbomb]

People dissing and bad mouthing arts.... don't knock something until you have tried it and I mean really tried it, given it everything for a year or more, just because a certain art does not work for you does not mean it doesn't work. Often it doesn't work because of your own doing. Morihei Ueshiba was a very established 8th dan Judoka, 6th dan Kendoka along with many other styles... he chose the peaceful way taken from all his learnings but could have maimed, injured or killed if he believed it had a place.

[@mrmushin1]

I don't think he personally studied judo formally;i think his student had formal knowledge and he was friends with founder, even getting the complement,"He wishes judo to be like aikido "

[@Benzen4]

amazing technique! i want to learn from him!

[@ShawnMcAninch]

Great video! Thanks for posting!

[@rogerpatrickf]

muita prosperidade e darmas a voces.

[@Captainwooooo]

some of this is solid some is only achievable if your attacker reads the script and plays along

[@rsanzespinal]

Impresionante!

[@raksh9]

Sensei is super agile. The flipping ukemi are particularly impressive.

[@doeper]

@longmenpai Thanks for sharing this. Really intricate Aiki here. Much appreciated.

[@Radlerriffs]

I witnessed Sensei Matsuo perform the fastest and most powerful free-form katas I've ever seen for half an hour after he got only two hours of sleep and nothing to eat that morning. He didn't even perspire!

[@zk4761]

Does he sill practise?

[@Radlerriffs]

@@zk4761 he's an ageless marvel who remained active.

[@dumkoph]

I have taught the counter to the Shiho Nage stall and punch counter at 8 min. The Sensei here was actually being nice with that throw. He could have made the throw even more devastating! Great Demo! and Yes I have Black Belts in Jujitsu, Aiki Jujutsu, Old School Judo and Kenpo Karate and understand the full implications and potential weknesss of the techniques presented here. This is a good demo!

[@Nikolas100o10oao]

Great job.

[@paciouno1]

excellent controll

[@winddragonmma]

My favorite Japanese Martial Art= Aikijiujitsu!!! Its a complete combat system!!!

[@longmenpai]

kindness returns 1000-fold..... thank you Shifu

[@luisphilipesilva]

It's Aiki-juijutsu, stop with the jitsu of Bjj ...traditional japonese arts it's jutsu

[@elenchus]

they're just translations into different languages. Into English, jujutsu. Into Portuguese, jiujitsu. They don't mean anything different.

[@jjs3890]

elenchus they are the same words with different spellings but they also differ in what they are. BJJ is judo ground fighting meaning sport, and jujutsu was an art of war. They share similarities as one comes from another but huge differences on techniques and intense.

[@smirkdancer]

I dont know who the guy is but he kicked ass in that demo-- very creative techniques! and great principles displayed!

[@wcfitness2004]

Just 👍great.

[@KCMO2NDTWIN]

Thank you!

[@Asha2820]

Dude loves his nikkajo!

[@TheSilatiger]

excellent display aiki-jujutsu

[@longmenpai]

@rooster82471 thanks, these guys need to understand that the stuff works, but demos are demos.... I appriciate the support

[@ramicsantiago1627]

This sense is a very young Chris Matsou who we have had the pleasure of his knowledge.

[@user-es1zl9pj2p]

Perfect

[@keykendrick]

Astounding.

[@Shishaohanyi]

amazing

[@Rhobyn]

@longmenpai Daito Ryu was created by someone of the Takeda clan. It would be fairly obvious that it is related to the Takedaryu Aikijutsu, but is there any actual verification?

[@johndough6294]

That was pretty well my normal Saturday routine as Sensei's "favorite" uke. RIP, Sensei.

[@michaelh2935]

You must have some great stories! Respect to you & your late sensei.

[@ebig1969]

This guys ukemi is crazy good!

[@tengu29]

exelente!!!!

[@rudhysumbara]

sangat bagus..(sugoi ne, daisuki...!!!)

[@kagebooger]

As a practioner and instructor in Saito Ninpo for over 13 years now, some of the the techniques are from the Saito ninjutsu others are Aikijujutsu. Grand Master Saito did study (as a kid I am told) with Professor Okazaki of Danzan Ryu (I believe Okazaki Sensei started in Daito Ryu). I believe that this is footage when Sam Ishigo was teaching way back when. What you will notice Chris can engage more attackers if necessary while still controling his uke. Vid Quality-Possible cereative editing.

[@uminchu7th]

For someone his age, he was very good and must have had very good instruction starting from a young age.

[@tahuwahu]

That uke got a good hiding! Awesome demo!

[@ravisdb]

this is very good,all the traditional japanese martial arts use the principle when push you pull and when pull you push...

[@lancevigorous]

@xXxstunner I would also say the light switch on the wall and the overhead electric lights and sound recording tend to belie the 'early 1900's' claim.

[@chrishov8890]

This is how we use to train.... so much leared.. the downloads too. I go back any day....

[@miracleboy1]

This art seems to be very street ready. Does it have kicks? What percentage of the art is striking versus grapling? Just curious I don't know anything about it.

[@kentishtowncowboy]

I quite like this. There are some similarities to the Trad Ju Jitsu style I'm trained in. There are also some variations that I've not seen before so some food for thought there and (hopefully) some things I can steal ;-) Thanks for posting.

[@shaunwthompson]

This is an A+ demonstration. Wow. I am extremely impressed. Great falling skills, fantastic technique execution, I... wow. Very good.

[@mattbarla8055]

What is the name of the Tori demonstrating in this video? He is excellent!

[@kukutxi]

awesome

[@AlexLococo]

I have tried aikido. I have been in wrist locks by bjj and judo (so as aikido). I know it hurts like hell, but, whenever I get the chance I get out of the lock, not stay in it. That's why it's a lock, so whoever makes it has control. If I'm not in control, I'm aching AND he has no holds over me, I can only LET GO, not stay like a fool. That is why twisting a wrist of someone who has a stick, or knife, or w/e weapon will 99% of the time disarm them, and only 1% break the wrist (then disarm).

[@GoshindoTanaka]

the uke has to do the ukemis for him to no get hurt where did you practice aikijujutsu or which is your fighting style.

[@ponde84]

So many people don't wanna accept other styles. Just like wing chun, there are shaolin wingchun, Ip Man wingchun, etc. Or KaraTe, many styles, and each clan claim theirs, is the most authentic and the most harmonic. You made your own broth, and keep it as your own style! Your body is the vessel, you mind is your master. Seek your own style from many experience, not many masters and styles.

[@mirodziki]

This is an interesting & quite effective martial art of self defense and in fact.

[@HO1ySh33t]

@Kazuo1234 When practicing enough with the ideal situation, you see the pattern and you got your moves down to instinct. And whenever your opponents makes a movement remotely resembling the ones you've worked on thousands of time, he's down. There's no shortcut to self-defense. Even using guns needs tremendous time of practice. You don't wave your gun around and expect to survive.

[@xluciano11x]

Hi -- to longmenpai, if you are still around, just wondering, did you just copy this or are you involved with daito ryu? I am impressed (of course) with the video and was wondering if you could answer some questions I have... I am involved with iwama style aikido and am really interested in daito ryu being the progenitor of aikido...

[@ChuckerThe1]

@hcdub Yea thats why its called a Demo. He is demonstrating the techniques-

[@longmenpai]

Yoshinkan aikido is great. Not a well known fact that Shioda sensei trained with kodo horikawa to polish his aiki... Lets train with passion...

[@wu8257]

@hapelliotte Aikido contains about 1/100 of Daito Ryu technics

[@SoldierAndrew]

Good aiki-jujutsu demo. :)

[@billgober2]

This is a very interesting video. The demonstrator here has some real skill at Aiki that is lacking in many KZbin videos. I am very curious to find out the demonstrator's name and who he studied with.

[@GeorgeLedyard]

This is interesting work... One, I would point out that, while the uke was certainly not comfortable at various times in the demo, he was not inured. Why would anyone consider this to be worse than any contact sport where there is impact. It's a martial art, there is going to be some pain in training... part of the point is to get past your fear of things that hurt. As long as there is no injury to the body, it's just a part of hard training. Two, people who have no experience with traditional martial arts, especially the arts involving aiki, simply have no idea. I actually turned off comments on my own KZbin channel because the level of the commentary was so low. For every informed comment there were 20 that sounded like fifteen year olds from Bullshido who simply wanted to say that MMA beats everything, Who has time for that nonsense. I just decided that comments were unnecessary. The folks who know do and the folks who don't don't. Way less aggravating....

[@danielborges.]

Wow, you commented here. The "wow" is why I have watched several videos of you, and some other good ones, and I was delighted and very impressed with aikido and I really want to start studying and practicing. It seemed to me to be a very powerful and refined art. And I agree with your comment about the low level of discussions on KZbin in general.

[@TheColdSoulz]

The mma people are mostly ignorant and brainwashed. There's moves that have been legal for years in mma and they don't even know them all. The streets is the true test, weapons, multiple opponents, ect

[@kromesupremekstv5479]

Ossss i totally agree with now days everyone thinks MMA and Brazilian jujitsu is the only stylecthat works

[@ninjamaster7724]

People know bullshit when they smell it.

[@bradleycairns908]

I was very impressed with this demonstration. Extremely efficient and brutal, from a tactical perspective I think this martial art would be very useful in any hand to hand self defense situation. You're totally spot on with your comment too. Understanding pain, especially in any martial art training, is just common sense. Every sport has to be trained for, and anyone who goes to a gym can tell you that getting fit and staying fit hurts. No physical injuries were sustained here... seriously awesome demo though 👍👍

[@tonytkokelly1]

Wow I loved to see this my style is jikite jujitsu on the same lines of this style when I fought mma I collected belts everywhere because they couldn't figure out if I was muay thai tae kwondo judo or what great video! Ps people always mock videos like this untell they are in an upper shoulder lock throw like pictured here

[@mrmushin1]

Next point only those who want to become skilled will obtain it so while you be hard working in your particular field martial arts require the same work ethic that body builders have witch is high if you don`t want it badly enough you will not get it , the mind set of martial art is not to be lazy or weak minded I will give you the answer to your specific question when you become more open minded when you learn to ask a question in a polite manner.

[@Somnusrei]

Exactly! People say that Tae Kwon Do is ineffective in MMA. However, there was a K1 fighter who used to embarrass his opponents with acrobatic kicks, and punches. Often, the success of a style is dependent upon the creativity and ability of the martial artist. Hell, Aikido, even at its tamest, teaches debilitating holds that can be applied regardless of the fact that they don't train in traditional combat settings.

[@Benzen4]

@billgober2 I totally agree with you. Even in japan, its VERY difficult to find a martial-artist in high level like the guy in the video.

[@MooneShadow]

@liotta75 Very good for you to recognize that this wouldnt work against certain fighting systems. Not to say that it wouldnt work against thugs or idiots that would attempt to grab someone. Usually those in diciplined styles wouldnt just outright attack someone in the street. I learned Jujitsu, but I also learned tae kwon do, Mauy Thai, Hapkido and other systems to be prepaired for anything. Martial arts training doesnet end in any system. Its a living knowledge that bends to your will alone.

[@JayPleezer304]

@rooster82471 Where do u train?

[@BaddahChris]

@jobowtackmasterx you talking about the guy in the video?????

[@geezzerboy]

I guess you don't understand that uke gets more out of practice than nage does. Why do you think the teacher did the solo ukemi at the beginning? Did it look like he loosened his body?

[@propositionjohnston]

Nice techniques! I study Aikido and there's a lot that's similar. Poor Uke though!

[@pintomartialarts]

very nice

[@longmenpai]

@hapelliotte yes, aikidos mother is daito ryu. tanomo family to takeda to ueshiba. gozo shioda's yoshinkan is a derivitive of ueshiba and kodo horikawas daito ryu.

[@BoratfromKazakhstan]

Hi and what is the difference between daito ryu and other jujutsu styles please?

[@CBDBnoho]

Would you know what kind of Daito Ryu it is? His Aiki is excellent and is applied very well.

[@longmenpai]

Daito ryu aikijujutsu roppo kai and saigo ha

[@benzo80o.c82]

It seems some what similar to serious bujinkan practice..I wonder had the original bujinkan school in the past taken techniques from daito Ryu?? It's certainly possible.. great video..,😁

[@robsden7]

benzo80 o.c The Taijutsu used in Bujinkan is just as old if not older then Aikijutsu. Some schools might even be older such as Gyoku Ryu which has Chinese orgin's. Bujinkan if you didn't already know is 9 different systems not just one. The techniques he is using are certainly as painful as Bujinkan. Infact this particular school from what I understand is both Aikijujutsu and Ninjutsu.

[@majdikamal1389]

Hi. Does Aiki jujitsu utlize grappling. ground fighting . punching and kicking techniques ?

[@hesedagape6122]

Yep

[@jjs3890]

Yes...all the above.

[@otorishingen8600]

this is related to takeda-ryu - very similar and the ukemi demonstration in the beginning is breathtaking wow

[@mushinwarrior]

High level and for all those haters he was holding back that was a taste you can see its great skilll just fall like he does n see fantastic

[@AlexLococo]

I've tried Aikido, which is an are that evolved from this one or the parent art of this one (can't quite remember), and I do understand what you mean, it's just... the uke seems to overreact everything, you look at 1:52, he contorts like that on the ground and pushes his arms against the ground... that is not a natural reaction to pain or any technique in particular... I can't, I just can't.

[@mitoichigo7002]

Amazing movement plus self confidence, what is this master real name if it's Ok?

[@longmenpai]

Mito IchiGo ... Christopher Lee matsuo honolulu hawaii

[@kengleck]

what is name of this Roshi ?

[@MrBINDEL]

Très bon.

[@fabricegordot6602]

Cest beau et dans un bar avec du verre partout dans un parking entre 2 voitures et meme sur un trottoirs ont fait comment

[@liotta75]

everyone is not understanding my post..I never said Daito Ryu wasn't effective..I didnt only train in MMA, I've also trained in BJJ, Muay Thai, Krav Maga, JKD and MMA..I know any jujitsu is very effective..i just suggested to incorporate training against full power punches and grappling...maybe Daito ryu does.. but I'm just commenting on what i see in the video...

[@theomen49]

every grab defense is essentially the same as the strike defense. and the grappler's need to get you on the ground before starting the ground fighting, right? most people would grab you in order to throw you. They start you off with grabs most of the time for two reasons. First, its how its been done for centuries (since the attackers were usually trying to keep you from drawing or using your sword). Second, its better to teach begginers grabbing first. It teaches them the principle better.

[@dllhell]

master.

[@sulufest]

I've seen the original version of this vid so I don't understand why it's been edited to look "older". it was fine in it's original format. excellent demo tho :)

[@seinundzeiten]

this is what the original AIkido looked like before it was watered down- it was so brutal like this demo, that the spiritual advisor to Ueshiba had him water it down

[@gezortenplotz]

Concur. When O Sensei talked about ‘harmonizing with uke’ he wasn’t talking about sitting down and having a cuddly cup of tea. The art of ukemi is the art of avoiding serious joint and bone injury. I believe long training eventually toughens you up to take real fight damage.

[@TheKetota]

That technique is work in single strike attack punch , but in reality in street fight people use fake attack for bite, faint and multiple strike and fast jab also fast snap kick , then can be a big different situation

[@arikarteta8035]

TheKetota there are other techniiques, and its a demo....

[@olrycousin3730]

The technics are really interesting. And the sensei seems to be really powerful. And his ukemi! Amazing. But there are some moments where uke seems to be playing a role while he could simply go away. There is maybe something i don't see.

[@longmenpai]

You have amazing perception and tact. thank you very very much yes this demonstration was for a Hawaiian martial arts master and he wanted to see old classical techniques as well as some rare techniques this is what was demonstrated for him on the spot the throwing partner was very well trained for that although he did not know there was going to be a demonstration. He did a very good job and the Hawaiian martial art master was very happy. You are very right to question the context in which the demonstration was given. As you know this is not my Martial Art Specialty anymore as I was doing bagua and my love of bagua always overshadowed these Arts I like seeing this demonstration because it reminds me of the people that I was with at the time but as a actual combat demonstration I would not even give it a second glance this was a very classical demo. Thank you for your kindness with the comments it shows a lot of intelligence I have a lot of respect thank you

[@raydaras]

Perhaps you should find another dojo because this art, as with other forms of aikido, take Yoshinkan for example, will control you, if done properly. Osu.

[@kenjutsukata1o1]

It's simple, really. If they're a skilled boxer you keep away from them. Then, one of three things will happen: 1) the boxer will wear himself out and be easier to get a hold of 2) the boxer will get frustrated and make a mistake 3) you'll give yourself a chance to run away. Plus, I've been put into one of those wrist-locks. Trust me, you'd have to have epic willpower to not cooperate when they start leading you around. It hurts like hell. Plus, not all of the attacks are joint locks.

[@daffydlandegge3843]

One of the biggest things that influences me to start shrugging it off is when the guy kept himself in shihonage without being held by nage (2 times this happened). The nage left himself open to a rear naked choke attempt twice and most everyone would left go of they found their grab induced pain via wrist lock techniques...not hang on.

[@PrivateEyeYiYi]

My understanding of Yawara comes from back page ads in comic books from the sixties, so it's possible that I'm wrong about this, but isn't a Yawara a small piece of wood designed to be used as a pressure point weapon? If so. I didn't see it's use demonstrated here. Great display of skill nonetheless.

[@longmenpai]

yawara is the same character as ju which is soft gentle so a yawara stick is a jujutsu stick... yawara jutsu and jujutsu is the same meaning

[@jjs3890]

Yawara is an older art that was incorporated into the creation of jujutsu along with Tai Jitsu, Kumiuchi, wajutsu, koppo jutsu and others. When Japan became unified the arts were shared and called jujutsu. The Ju or gentle aspect comes from the subtle internal principals of swordsmanship. Yawara required strength and leverage, jujutsu uses no muscle or leverage. Aiki is a principal that was used in n kenjutsu for centuries before bieng used in jujutsu.

[@liotta75]

@Mooneshadow...I also trained in variouse systems, BJJ, Muay Thai, Krav Maga, JKD, MMA..thats how I iknow what works and what doesn't, Dait Ryu is a very effective style, i was just suggesting it be better to practice against full power punches and kicks and grappling, rather than just against holding and grabbing.

[@jjs3890]

Diato Ryu and all the jujutsu systems used to have sparring, competition challenges matches, drills and more. Diato Ryu is one of the system, like most, that was forced to only train in katas in the Edo period when the samurai were outlawed and schools were forced to remove combat training to be allowed to remain open. Today, there is a small handful that still held the old pratice to some degree (sparring and competition fighting allowed severe injuries and deaths and they happened frequently) but for the most part surviving schools only have their formal katas.

[@MarioCastro_o]

I wolud like to see him applying those techniques against a lima lama fighter over there :)

[@breedingpitmetal]

i really like the way he throws his atemi (excuse me if this should not be your correct term, i am from an aikido background)

[@Azmodeus87]

I think it was that long only to show of the ammount of control he had over the opponent. In real life the reciever would most likely thrown the attacker into the ground or something to that effect.

[@longmenpai]

@xXxstunner if you look closely at the joke, it says early 1990's

[@Kast_4]

aikijujutsu is the best....

[@michiko38]

impresive....while obviously a demo, it retains the 'martial' aspects of this classical/ traditional art. lucky the uke was so flexible other wise it would have sounded very crunchy...
