Aikido parries, HARAI, and techniques against kicks, GERI, by Stefan Stenudd in 2010

[@pichetkullavanijaya6908]

I appreciate the (1) 25% strength; (2) 25% speed for everyone's safety... Nobody needs to get injured during any training sessions at the dojo

[@RF_O]

I love your videos. Thanks, Stefan, 🙏🏻

[@naramsindd2620]

It's nice when your opponent is attacking you in the way you are expecting. Selfie mood is the best.

Quem dera o oponente ser tão SUAVE assim kkk

[@StefanStenudd]

@moicanolast3745, in the martial arts soft is strong and hard is weak.

[@danle3181]

Try that against a muay thai or a kyokushin practionner in a REAL situation. You will be in for a BIG awakening...

[@StefanStenudd]

@danle3181, you do it.

[@juanpabloreyvanegas5381]

Dear sensei, karate point fighting kicks with retraction are useless and way unrealistic for today, where mma rules. Defenses against muay thai go through kicks including low kicks and bjj takedowns along with basic boxing combinations should be added to Aikido's curricula for 1st dan.

[@StefanStenudd]

@juanpabloreyvanegas5381, I agree that it is beneficial for aikido to study all martial arts -- old and new. Still, there is no point in aikido conforming to them. It has its own perspective, as does every other martial art.

[@eyalschnider]

really good mobility bur not real kicks…

[@StefanStenudd]

@eyalschnider, those kicks were definitely real. It would have hurt to stand in their way.

if my shutokan mate kicked you for real your arm has a good chance of being broken.

[@StefanStenudd]

@stuartpaul9211, you speak about your mate... Well, how about you? You're strangely persistent with your negative comments. Are you another one of those who love to hate? Maybe you should stick to singing covers. Or maybe not.

[@stuartpaul9211]

@@StefanStenudd I like to be practical in analising those who make claims about certain martial arts. Aikido is not a self defence system. its an exercise and spiritual development system. Someone high on coke in a pub will cave your head in trying to use aikido. Same as the majority of it is a waste of time in the ring. aikido doesn't even work on the judo matt or judoka dan grades would fall to the floor ever so easily. But, in reality, the other party is stopping you getting what you want, so when its not a drill there is now flow. As for me, yes my arms were covered in bruising from conditioning training blocking elbow and fist strikes. yes it was a partnered drill with control, but it still sodding hurt!

[@rhsweden]

hmm nice block of the jodan mawashi geri . too bad it dos not work IRL , you have absolutely no strength in your arm that way

[@StefanStenudd]

Well, I've done it. What have you done?

[@rhsweden]

then nobody has ever kicked at your head @@StefanStenudd

Aikido is conpleyely ridiculous ...domt waste your time

[@StefanStenudd]

@iancognito6920, too late. I've already spent over 50 years on aikido. I wouldn't call it a waste, though. Have you tried it?

[@iancognito6920]

@@StefanStenudd yes in the early days with someone called Terry ezra but moved on to karate. I can see as value as an art form but the demos ive seen ate so set up ...people do not give you their wrist when they are yrying to knock your head off. However good luck to you if you are detting value out of it. I am way past my karate days now so maybe I should have stayed with the Aikido !😵‍💫

[@StefanStenudd]

@@iancognito6920 Terry Ezra is a well-known name in aikido. Sadly, he passed away in December 2022, as you probably know. Karatedo is also a fine martial art, so I'm sure you found it as rewarding as I do aikido.
