Lenny, you're the man. I totally love tenshin aikido and the way your teaching and showing your way of aikido. I trained in Asu aikido for 7 years. I woke up and opened my eyes. It was very boring and I was taught the same basic techniques over and over. But I had the honor of attending a few of Ikeda Sensei seminars at Oberlin college. I will continue to support your aikido and I back you 100% brother. keep it up and maybe some day I'll have the pleasure of training with you.

Hi Lenny I've been watching your videos lately and I like your modern interperetation of Aikido very much. I'm sick of people saying Aikido doesn't work. Only bad Aikido doesn't work, good Aikido is very effective in street situations and for developing character. I come from a Tomiki background with plenty of competion/randori and I believe Tomiki was thinking there was a need to pressure test Aikido and a lot of traditionalists shyed away from this. I used to cross train in muai thai, arnis and vale tudo. The guys that cave in usually are the ones with the biggest mouths who never pressure test their "traditional" art. Oeshiba was an innovative martial artist for his time, I believe you are in your time. Keep up the good work. Best channel I've seen in ages and your honest perspective is refreshing along with the clear sound and very good camera work(thumbs up for the camera guy!). I wish you all good luck with your channel.

Keep it coming brother, I support your perspective about Aikido, I love it too, but most of all, I appreciate your heart behind your teaching and all you are getting across, being spiritually prepared either to die or to kill in Self-Defense must be taken in consideration, because if we don't apply Aikido that works, we will likely meet our maker, either way we need to be ready always! And consider the cost!
@tuanthanhlam17797 жыл бұрын
Awesome. Totally agree with you on the pain perspective. I think it's important that people, especially Aikidokas, understand the idea of not wanting to hurt/kill while having the full capacity to do so, which doesn't mean that we should disregard the training to inflict pain. Dancing and compliant ukemi do not prepare you for a real self-defense scenario, this kind of (pain-compliance) training does.

The only problem that you’re likely to encounter is that I’m the only one that teaches aikido the way I do. That’s because I don’t care what other aikido sensei say about my methodology. I’m going to teach it so others don’t have to spend decades learning shit wrong. So unless you live here in Illinois you will have a never ending battle finding someone that teaches it like I do, which there is no one.

Last time I walked down the street I haven't seen many of those guys around. Anything that doesn't evolve to meet the needs of its environment WILL eventually die. Your evaluation of aikido is what people need AS WELL AS a firm foundation and understanding of the traditional. Keep up the great work

Look Sly people really need to know more than one thing....which you do. Opportunities present themselves. I start with boxing in an altercation . They asked what I had done when I showed up at their dojo. Boxing wrestling, 9 months of Kung Fu, Army combatives and some bjj for me. so basically I am not a push over. When I first started Aikido they had a boxing rendori. I made them all look silly. They started cross training in boxing and bii after that. You should know know at least 2 or 3 different things. You use the Aikido when the opportunities present themselves..... and they will. Aikido is very effective. I took to Sankyo immediatly, it my favorite wrist technique I make black belts say ouch with it ( I'm not a black belt btw). love your vids and the cute blonde football chick you used to have on..... that was awesome.

Love what you are doing... I agree and also advocate that it is the students’ responsibility to seek efficacy in everything they learn. If they don’t understand and have quests then they should spend time to find answers. There is however an effective yet “magical” side of martial art that’s not unique to aikido. I’ve seen it done with a very small number of people. It doesn’t work 100% of the time as everything has a counter. But when understood, it can enhance the power of any technique, to the point that people will less likely to want to or have time to counter. To me the traditional techniques are questions left by the founder for future students to answer. And modifying as you are is a legitimate way, but I think the art does have the potential to evolve to the level that fits the ideal of the founder. An ideal is unfortunately is misunderstood by most of the aikido community.

You know, I personally don't care. This is my expression of aikido. Need that a lot more in aikido I think. I was in Iwama in 1985 with Saito Sensei and he was demo'ing some of his stuff and he said the same thing. He russled a few feathers but it was Saito Sensei, so who was going to say anything? And he proceeded to demo a whole range of key techniques all from HIS understanding of angles and pressure. It was very cool.

I never EVER heard Choate-sensei say that there is "no pain compliance" in Aikido! I never felt more pain in my arm up to that point than the one time that Ikeda-shihan put me in a nikyo. John Stevens once wrote about the time that Rinjiro Shirata sat in a dojo talking about "nonresistance" (muteiko) as a major principle of Aikido. Just then some jerk jumps up and says "Nonresist this!" Shirata-shihan tossed him from seiza and says, "See, no one can resist nonresistance!" Maybe there are no sacrifice throws in Aikido. Saito didn't seem to teach them. But no pain compliance???

Amazing technique and yet, I do not see it work when there is a rain of fast punches and kicks. Problem is, to catch a punch in a real fight is damn hard. I have never seen any UFC fighter to apply a grip to a punching hand. Punches come fast and retract so fast, that there is no time to apply any grips. So the technique will surely work once the grip is secured. How on Earth do you secure a grip, when someone is punching you in a non-cooperative manner? I would like to see a demo where this technique is applied to a person with boxing descent boxing skills who is punching for real.
