Amazing Aikido skills. Your Aikido gives dreams and hopes to many people. In particular, many Japanese Aikido masters are afraid to collaborate with MMA fighters because they lack the skills, and they have no knowledge of martial arts. And they don't have the physicality and athleticism to interact. You are the hope of Aikido and a special person. I would like to express my sincere respect to you.

Many Japanese Aikido masters have no knowledge of martial arts?

It's just mind boggling that people insist that joint locks, throws, and take downs don't work. He even explains the physics behind it, and people still say it doesn't work, even though a wrestler and MMA fighter here were impressed. Gotta love the keyboard warriors.

Unfortunately people are easily swayed by popularity in the USA. What the keyboard warrior doesn't understand is that there are no superior arts. Only superior men. "The man makes the art." Good luck in your training. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association

Yes, it's quite weird, since you see Aikidoka winning MMA tournaments all time.

This is why I love your channel. You show why Aikido is so dangerous of an art when done properly.

@@wanderingandroid You missed the part about repositioning yourself straight after parrying. When I am trying to go for a wrist lock, it's not necessary to target it directly. I start by directly targeting the upper arm and this is very quick and easy to do after parrying a strike. The instant I make contact with the upper arm, it's very quick to slide my grip down to the wrist in less than 0.1 seconds.

I see that Mr. Shirakawa uses simple quick direct throw against these grapplers. Very effective 🙋♂️🙏🙇♂️. They are so surprised because the techniques are consisted of only 2-3 moves, probably they expect Mr. Shirakawa to grapple with them and use body-slams, but he used simple techniques instead, which caught them right away.
This can only work in Japan because people are so polite that even if you say the word "resist" the person will still be the uke and not actually resist.

The principles are still relevant in other martial arts. The best boxers, wrestlers, judoka, jiujiteira, kung fu practioners, etc. take advantage of the human anatomy and the manipulation of force to achieve their goals.

Being told to resist is more of a joke in this instance. It is similar to a bully telling his/her victim "why are you smacking your own face?" knowing full well he is forcing the other person to move as he wants.

@@mervinmarias9283 Now you know how Aikido works. The attacker first has to produce energy whether it's in the form of stiffening and resisting their body or in the form of striking with their limbs. It is the Aikido defender's job to _use that resistance in the correct way_ and when this happens correctly, it means the Aikido defender succeeded in using the attacker's own strength against themself.

You have probably never felt the incredible pain of these aikido locks.. my brother (6’ 235, powerlifter and first dan blackbelt in Kyokushinkai) attempted to resist in first aikido class. He was led around crawling like an infant by smallest female in class (about 112 lbs.) we never forgot that demo and signed up.
