Shirakawa Sensei is completely different from the previous Aikido masters. He is the new Aikido star. He finds an open mind and high jiu-jitsu skills. And he has great talent and personality.
Very entertaining with both contestants showing great skill, humbleness and respect!! I really liked the dropkick demonstrated by Shirakawa Ryuji sensei!!
Everyone must watch this video! I have watched *only* the pre-match discussions and they're all incredibly exciting - unlike American or Western match there is less "trash-talking" and less aggression and more of calm appraisal of technique and practice history and differences in the art and experience. If this can be believed as genuine.... And I do believe this is genuine .....this is an unusually courageous experiment that goes beyond the man or even the individual sport or art...this directly expresses what we can all learn from "one stone polishing another."
Everyone wants to win...but how nice it is when there are friends...yeah Ryuji...🤗♥️

Okay! First of all the difference between 70 kg and 57 is 13 kg... This is approaching 30-lb weight difference - enormous! Also if you've never done BJJ you don't know how strong those guys get -- incredible amount of strength can be packed into a small body. Okay, was a short match, but still the over-arching disciplines of fluidity, strength, awareness, and connection serves the warrior well! Most of all one is grateful for being allowed to see this act of courage and sharing and respect and good manners and sport and art!!!! Long live Aikido!

Did not realize the Kitagawa Takahide does bjj as well as systema, but a google search reveals he is indeed a IBBJF brown belt playing at the championship level, and that he does systema under Vasiliev. This is why I laugh at online rivalries. Good vid!

I don’t know why there needs to be rivalries. Systema guys can learn the finer aspects of grappling from BJJ guys and BJJ guys can learn how to breath dynamically, relax, and maybe knife attacks while on the ground from Systema guys. The Machado brothers rate Martin Wheeler so I don’t see the big deal 🤷♂️

@@elel2608 I agree completely and in real life there are none I've seen. There's never been a moratorium on cross training in systema afaik, in fact I used to meet people from a lot of MA backgrounds when I used to train it, BJJ included.

Sin duda disciplinas muy diferentes...lucha en suelo es la lucha de más contacto...y aikido es mayormente de pie... Gracias a sus reflejos que pudo evitar inmovilización el maestro.

Admirable. Litmus test for Aikido wazas.. Bravo Shirakawa Sensei!
I am by no means very good at Aikido but our instructor disclosed that in the early years of O Sensei kicking and punching was part of the training. Why was that discontinued?? Thank you both for the great demonstration.

Great match! Shirakawa sensei is a brilliant fighter, it's very different from and superior to aikidokas that I've encountered here in the US.
Woot Woot, so much fun, i loved it but also what i love to see is Mutual Respect. Boss Shirakawa, You did good & this is the value of "knowing" other Martial Arts, i have no doubt that you can Master Jiu Jitsu which i personally think as a Masterful Art, is a Great Discipline to #Master, i know you can. Respects to Kitagawa Takahide, very easy for You yet You were so Respectful & Graceful in Nature, Kudos. I really enjoyed watching this & i wanted to ask if the movie can be seen in Australia??? Peace
As an Aikidoka that has had previously sparred with BJJ practitioners and wrestlers, Shirakawa sensei did very well. Getting sucked into the ground fight is very easy and it is hard mentally to disengage and separate from your opponent even if it possible physically. Just remember as an Aikidoka your advantage is when you are merging with your opponent, once that period had passed if you are not in a dominant position, you must disengage, not fight for dominance. Also never let your back be flat on the mat when you are on the bottom. Slightly curved so you maintain mobility is the key.
Ryuji is spectacular. He might even be on par with Jackie Chan.

Wow 13kg difference and an enormous experience gap, ofcourse Shirakawa was at a major disadvantage (like speaking a foreign language with limited vocabulary) but oh boy did he survive and did AMAZING, if he would train this specific ground discipline , he would rock it.
@trident272-m6q Жыл бұрын
Do you think that one person being trained in a combat-tested martial art like BJJ, and the other being trained in a cooperative performance-style art like Aikido, also could've contributed to the disadvantage Shirakawa faced? And I'd be curious to know why exactly you think he looked "AMAZING" ? To me, being effortlessly swept, having his guard passed, and being a second away from being arm-barred before being saved by the bell, all in less than a single minute, wasn't exactly the best showing, and there's no disrespect to Shirakawa in being honest about that.

I wish they gone 3 or 5 minuntes. Learning a lot from the video. I practiced Aikido way back and now studying BJJ. There's a bunch of escapes I learned from Aikido that intuitively carried over to BJJ, but I would love to see how an Aikido expert problem-solved different BJJ positions.
