SELF-DEFENSE IN AIKIDO YOSHINKAN. REAL AIKIDO. SHIHAN JO TAMBU, 7TH DAN AIKIDO
The Aikido Shudokan was the first Yoshinkan style dojo in Australia, founded by Joe Thambu Shihan in 1980, and has schools in Thornbury, Springvale, Fitzroy and Williamstown, teaching men, women and children. Thambu Shihan first studied Yoshinkan Aikido in Malaysia in 1972 (aged 11) under his uncle Sensei Thamby Rajah, who was himself a student of Gozo Shioda - the founder of Yoshinkan Aikido and an outstanding pre-WWII student of Aikido’s founder Morihei Ueshiba. Shioda gave the name ‘Shudokan’, ‘Shu’ meaning to study, ‘do’ meaning the way and ‘kan’ meaning house. Sensei Joe Thambu was the last person to be tested by Shioda before his passing in 1994.

Straight to point as Aikido should be, it’s not the art but the practitioner!

🥋AWESOME🥋

[@thebeertracker.jaybeertrac9846]

Very honest in his response to how Aikido works.

[@kevinjoseph2650]

he's completely right it's not the art it's the way it is taught to much aikido schools are not teaching practical aikido as a martial art it is bogged down in this spiritual crap

[@shogun5638]

a brilliant explaination on the art of aikido it's like shihan joe thambu says here which you say it from your mind. if you train in dojo style aikido then that's what you get. you will practice with resistance but it's in a nice controlled place. dojo most martial arts are done in the dojo - just like many other forms are done in the training area now you take that art on to the street for defence for self protection - self defence . training is still there. it's not the arts what are at fault if anything goes wrong. it's actually the person who is using that. nothing is 100% street effective things can go wrong. you have various objectives in your path so in general aikido is an effective Japanese art. now as mentioned here in this video. a budo art is all about defusing a situation before it ends up in full scale fight. that's when DO in the word aikido comes into play. confrontation nobody needs to fight. if it can be resolved. people want to fight these days. to boost there ego. or to see who that better man is. which that does happen on today's streets but I will add here. you still have you're personal tools inside to handle ones self. if and when you really need to. now he mentions about mma. YES to be used in that sport you would have to change a few things around to fit in. but aikido aikijujitsu wasn't or isn't for entering that kind sport it's not completely useless like everyone on you tube. seems to think it's only useless to them because they don't understand it. or have never heard of this. do some research... now I say here some schools of aikido don't practice with resistance. techniques other styles or forms do. some practice atemi ( strikes ) others don't it focuses more on breaking an attackers balance. same again it's NOT the art of aikido what is at fault it's that person who first walks into that dojo and enters that tatami ? 1) they don't understand it ? 2) they are trolls in front of a keyboard ? thanks for this video it's very educational for those of you tube who don't understand it. ?

[@andriygruntov]

Good and humble answers !!!

[@minemarketman]

Absolutely mesmerizing to watch Thambu sensei in action.

[@harprr587]

Cool sensei and very true what he says about people practising more than one martial art... The martial art is only as good as the martial artist doing the martial art !

[@ikebrocoy4407]

Os!

[@yoshiramirez6734]

Damn he moves quick

[@freaker126]

well said he himself admits it won't work in MMA. And, he's also correct about the practitioner not perfecting his technique before using it in the real world (that's why you do kata drills). You can even see it during student practice. They don't have the correct grasp of the technique. It's much easier said than done, those who think all martial arts don't work hasn't actually learned it to even comment about them. they haven't been confronted by the real facts that martial arts were created because of wars between tribes and country. Real martial art is to maimed or kills your opponents and stops a fight within secs. MMA or UFC techniques all evolved from the old martial arts. It doesn't mean it's perfect. In a time of needs, you'll have something to fall back on.

subscribed from Canton Detroit Michigan.EXCELLENT.very good example. & explained

[@alexscott730]

Only issue i have with Yoshinkan Aikido is the sometimes over exaggerated ukemi from the ukes.

[@jb6368]

Where the head goes the body follows. Fact.

[@remusstealth9419]

why not throw them straight down why throw them far? u giving them a chance t come back again this is what i dont like about aikido but it nice to watch i suppose

[@NIGHTSTALKER973]

+John Cecere because a lot of aikido is about projecting energy so going straight down doesnt fit that methodology.

[@remusstealth9419]

well it fits well with the tenshin guys

[@harprr587]

You are controlling them not kill them !

[@christianreiniger]

+John Cecere: Depends. One aspect is that throwing someone far is pretty useful when dealing with multiple attackers, where pinning one of them would leave you less mobile and open to further attacks, while projecting an attacker away opens up space for you to move and to position yourself better. Furthermore throwing someone "away" doesn't necessarily mean he'll have it easy to come back. Throwing an attacker into some obstacle might be an option to keep him busy for longer. Throwing him into other attackers can be useful for keeping several people busy for some time.

[@MegaMisterfunny]

A knife fighter will simply slice if one blocks . Hoping the knifefighter will attack again using the initial blocked technique so that the aikidoka can apply arm bar, is fallacious

[@alexscott730]

I know what you mean,however that was just one drill out of dozens for one possible scenario out of dozens and we have no idea of the drills that preceeded and followed which put all together show the greater picture of what is being practiced.

[@angel-rq4fz]
