Next time I see someone dropping his keys on the street I'm definitely not going to warn him.

[@azariyahreports8106]

Fun watching your videos. I'm learning a lot about Aikido each time I watch your inspiring classes! I faithfully watch every night. Thanks for the teachings!

1st technique: The shoulder grab from the rear is likely a setup for an opposite side punch. Your response leaves your head in the same spot. I like the lowering of the body, as you rotate, but I would also suggest entering a bit to the outside of the grabbing hand. This moves you a little off the line and might also disrupt the attacker's balance a little. Not done much in aikido, but as you turn, I would slightly raise the shoulder and lower the chin, this removes the jaw (knockout button) as a target.

Hi my name is Chris I am in a wheelchair can your team make a video showing how to Handle myself outside thank you God bless

[@mjumper]

In my opinion, you forgot to cover the most commonly used grab from the back that is the rear choke!! Nobody is going to grab you like you demonstrated in 0:43 unless the goal is to turn you and then punch you. Furthermore, you don't know if it's someone friendly, asking you something or a threat. Nobody will do the 2:18 shoulders grab either, instead, they will put their arms around you and squeeze you, not grabbing the shoulders like that... About the two wrists grab in 3:00, the most important concept, after getting low as you said, is to move the hips backwards, not simply bringing the hands "in your pocket"! Also, the hit into the solar plexus is not the best idea as he's still holding you. I would suggest to go under one arm and by grabbing the side of the hand you have sankyo and other arm locks. Keep working on your content for the future videos :)!

Took my Nan out a treat, that'll teach her to touch my shoulder

Very effective demonstration thank you for showing.

Alec is that your name Alec you did great man. Wonderful information to know thank you man God bless you be safe be aware and be you…

[@RonaldvanEgmond]

For somebody who has no Aikido experience it looks nice. For my point of view I would suggest you to study some more Martial Arts or do some more explaning for your videos !

[@attygarland6909]

So is Alex a new member of the Aikidoflow team? 🙂

[@Carlos-bo5kx]

Uuuf lo máximo brothers!

[@alandmcleod5988]

as mentioned by others, I can't see that any attacker will grab you like this. Also if you do manage your technique then GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE! This idea of thinking what else you can do is foolhardy IMHO

[@primitivojdavis]

Who’s the new guy 😂 Welp he answered my question at the end of the video lol

[@diebot7809]

I would really like videos on basic self-defence for females.

[@xItsAce]

Great video man

[@catmandu8813]

They seem like options that have never been pressure tested. To compliant in practice. The street is a mean place at times. If you are going to attempt these techniques on the street, pls practice with more realism

[@WiseOldBill]

at times? at all times

[@aimeeseek]

I'm sorry you were attacked before. This means that you were attacked before.

[@adadses1979]

The grab and turn could have ended in ikkyo or an irimi nage rather than going back in for tench nage. The two hand grabs - don't bring your hands forward but elbows and hands going around the point of contact then step back for ikkyo or the technique where you do ikkyo and place their elbow under your arm pit....can't remember the name as I haven't trained since getting shodan over a year ago!

[@GojuRyu1976]

Hmm not sure that this would actually work. I'd move counter clock wise and go for the face or the side that is completely open (face, throat, solar plexus, groin etc) straight away instead of ribs or the closed side as you are demonstrating. He may be wearing a big coat or jacket so going for thr ribs may not have any affect at all.

[@gmork1090]

You could also be spinning around into a knife. And bending knees and going low is a bad idea as in any real fight, after the grab, you're likely to be taken to the ground. Life isn't some low-budget 80's ripoff of the Karate Kid.

[@betsyross2.065]

Alex,where's your accent from?,very easy to understand you..

[@Mr01012006]

Ok I will practice it with my friends! That looks like fun…. Now, what would I do when I get attacked from the back? 😁

[@WorldWideHyperspace]

when somebody is holding me from behind i just punch them in the gut(or the side of the right or left side of the rib cage that rlly hurts when you hit it) with my elbow and boom also its not that i want to do it for some reason my body just does it automatically in a fight

[@spinynorman8217]

Why the Caribbean accent ?

[@gaztastic]

I feel like I need to use these in my school, because I seem to get grouped up on a lot. Some moves from the previous videos and y’know.

Say what bud?

[@sophnick1090]

My older brother grabbed my shoulder yesterday Now i am on my way back home from his funeral

[@lanceashdown7190]

Perhaps next week you could show how to subdue someone else from behind. This could happen if someone else is harming others and you need to stop them fast. This situation is on every American's mind these days.

[@Aikidoflow]

Nice point

[@cherrylane79]

What if they grab you from behind, hands around your waist?

[@adadses1979]

Step to the side and grab their legs going to the floor.

Thank you.

When I get grabbed from behind, I either tell my wife to be gentle or I let it a nasty egg fart.

[@paolosmaldone7852]

Adrej brother?

[@gmork1090]

Really? All techniques are situation-based. Never dip down because you make it easier to be taken to the ground. Never dip low and twirl around to hit someone. You have NO idea what you're turning into. Could be a knife! Best answer to these is to DEVELOP SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND AVOID!

[@سيموالسوسي-ع1ت]
