It's creative and it really helps :)

Thanks!

It's about connecting into the feet of uke (through the center line) so that it becomes more difficult for uke to move around, his feet seem to be "glued" to the ground.

Actually omote waza and ura waza refers more to the space where you move during the technique in relation to the uke (in front or towards the back), whereas there might be different entries when receiving the attack. The entry (understood as the first movement when teh attack is coming) might be forward to the inside or to the outside of the attack, shifting to the side, changing hanmi with a movement ot the side or even sliding backwards. Then for some techniques we have omote waza and ura waza versions (but not for all, e.g. not for kotegaeshi).

Yes, this was a fun idea in the beginning. However, after some time the things started repeating for same techniques, so we stopped it.

да, в айкидо есть ритм, что-то вроде танца 🤣🤣

Yeah, the googles / facebooks / amazons etc. often know more about us than we do ;) Teaching is a great way to enhance learning, enjoy it :)

This is one of the traditional forms and some people have a lot of respect for tradition

We are definitely not legal advisers, so we I can just share my private opinion. Of course, if you provoke the other one (verbally or using physical agression, e.g. pushes) to the extent that he attacks you physically, the situation becomes questionable and you might be held responsible for starting the conflict (even if the other one escalated the situation into a "full scale fight"). If we refer to the invitation principle covered in this video, it's actually much more subtle. In the video we wanted to make this principle really clear, so you can interpret it as "starting the fight". But in a "real life situation" I would clearly avoid any "aggressive" movements that might put me in a bad place legally. Still, if I am sure that the other one continues escalating and will punch me at certain moment, I can use this principle to be more in cotrol of what is happening. One way would be to raise both hands in a defensive manner, kind of protecting my space, and get in contact with his hands (if they're up as well), potentially provoking a strike or push at the moment of touch. Even more subtle, I could just "give" a very subtle opening, a point that becomes a clear "unprotected" target for the other (e.g. exposing one side of my face or the chest), inviting him to attack this point. This would make it easier to respond to the first attack, without being the one to start the fight. Also, if the fight is already on, I can use the invitation in an open way. Especially if I don't have any destructive intentions. Anyway, every situation is specific and it's hard to know in advance what exactly to do in each case. But it's good to practice the principle of invitation and have it available if needed.

Glad you liked it!

Never say never 😉 Classics of going backwards to receive the attack: Mune-tsuki ikkyo omote waza (ua-cam.com/video/HB-nURqW25o/v-deo.html) Jo-tori Tsuki Kokyunage (ua-cam.com/video/CqBjS7i9kA0/v-deo.html) Classics of staying on the inside of the attack: Yokomen'uchi kotegaeshi (ua-cam.com/video/HmBK_Eq35vU/v-deo.html) Katate-dori ikkyo omote waza (ua-cam.com/video/KlVIgGlqgpE/v-deo.html) - one of our first videos, different way of recording and not the best quality Mune-tsuki shihonage (ua-cam.com/video/GgtHHZbAWrs/v-deo.html)

Your account is fake. Shut up.

Nice to hear it, thank you

You know that since the invention of guns ALL martial arts are obsolete, right?

Keep in mind that this video is about an exploration (learning process) trying to eexplain and show some principles of Aikido. Whether you can "apply it in a real situation" depends on many other things, including your mindset and character. Personally, thanks to these principles I was able to avoid being hit in my face a few times in my life even when the other was trying (hard) to hit hard. And yet another thing would be facing a trained / skilled competition fighter.

@@Sfourtytwo maybe you should google what a martial art is…

You cant understand martial arts, just by watching youtube

True, you can't learn and understand just by watching, you need to go to a dojo and train with other people and an instructor. But youtube videos can be useful at least for 2 reasons: 1) if you already train a martial art, you can find some things to try out that you haven't done yet in your practice and 2) if you don't train yet, you can get inspired to start :)

You're welcome

Which means at least that you've watched until the end, which seems not to be very common. Would you have more specific feedback?

Welcome

For some techniques I can't think of classic omote waza vs. ura waza versions (kaitennage, jujinage, koshinage,...). Even if we called the version we do omote or ura, I don't see a way of doing the other one. For the techniques where we have both versions, both are effective. The choice of doing omote or ura would rather depend on the available space (e.g. walls blocking one of the directions, space on the ground for the uke) or timing (e.g. for shomen'uchi ikkyo if you are early, you can easily do omote waza, but if you're a bit late with the technique, the ura waza becomes easier to execute, kind of a backup option).

@@AikidoVirtualDojo thank you Sir 🙏

It's not only working with your whole body, but also including the whole body of uke. I think that calling it connection reflects well what happens when both bodies start moving together, and the visible reaction of uke "when the connection happens".

@@AikidoVirtualDojo thanks, now I understood what the connection meant

This is the general idea of our channel: to explain the techniques the way we practice them. It's not the only way and different schools might be teaching the techniques a bit differently. But we're happy if our videos are helpful. Thanka for your comment.

If you work on connection, you end up with similar practice and exercises between different arts

My pleasure!

The training never ends

Glad it was helpful!

There are lots of things in aikido that are difficult to explain scientifically ;) But more seriously, connecting to the balance means that we are sensing how the other person is keeping balance and using it to our advantage.

The best takeaway from Aikido to normal people would be it's philosophy to avoid a fight after all. Technique-wise, however, how to take ukemi would be more beneficial to learn rather than any throws or joint locks, etc.

The best is always to stay aware of your surroundings and avoid fights - once you get into a fight, everything can happen. In some situations, when someone is harassing you, but it's not a full fight yet, some movements based on ikkyo, nikyo or sankyo might be useful, dpending on the kind of "attack". If an attack comes by surprise, usually there is not enough time to do a "proper technique" (which btw takes a long time of practice to be able to apply it), and the first objective would be to avoid the punch, kick or whatever - so moving in relation to your opponent and escaping the line of attack would be important. In any case, even the simplified movements derived from basic techniques would require some practice with someone who knows and can teach aikido.

Sure thing!

Может быть да, а может быть и нет. Это базовая техника, что-то вроде ката в каратэ. Во время первого удара, особенно внезапного, времени на технику обычно остается слишком мало. Более важными являются принципы, которым мы учимся с помощью техник.

Welcome

Я рад что вам ето нравится :)

Sure thing!

It is quite easy from this specific attack, when the uke also holds the wrist. However, in most cases if someone applies rear choke, both arms are engaged into the choke and much more difficult to get out of it.

Sure thing!

Thanks. We are planning a video on the application of this ukemi in techniques. Actually we wanted to add some examples in this video, but it got already long enough ;) So, coming up soon...

With pleasure :)

That's really nice to hear, thank you

Welcome 😊

C'est la raison pourquoi nous le faisons ;)
