This is Shodokan Aikido aka "Sport Aikido." It is an offshoot of Aikido founded in the late 1960s. They actually practice more non-rehearsed sparring, which is why it doesn't look like traditional Aikido.
what some people obviously didnt understand yet is,that this is the competitive/sport version of Aikido...here the focus is on scoring,not self defence In competetive Judo people are even more grappling and showing around,yet nobody seems to have a problem with it there
The point is on scoring, not self defense... But what's the difference between a resistant aggressor and a resistant opponent? They're quite the same, maybe the resistant aggressor (weapons, striking, etc..) could be more harmful... So, you are saying that you use certain techniques only on life-death situation and not on ring?
@@davide.0LG1471 of course eyes injuries, or permanent injuries are not allow on the ring, in street/life/war all is allow. On the ring there is many rules, that allow or not techniques. Running out technic is allow on the ring? Bitten? Some judo techniques are forbidden on the ring because that can injuries in competition.
a couple very wonderful Shomen Ate being used to score points. As for what it is I say it was skillful and enjoyable to watch. I'm not much on martial arts competitions as a whole but I enjoyed it. Anytime you place "rules" onto "fighting" it no longer becomes realistic but over all good job.
I used to think so too, but then recently i've been reading into the rulesets of combat sports: (wrestling, sambo, sanda, muay thai, lethwei, taekwondo) Here' s my latest opinion on this. I think rulesets develop both skills and styles overtime! for example: Muay Thai rules and taekwondo rules score you more points with kicks than punches, and now these styles have the most advanced kicking. Lethwei is only won by knockouts, and now they have the most conditioned (bareknuckled) fists. wrestling you win by pins, and while they don't have submissions, they have developed the ability to have a feel for the most subtle of their opponents weight shifting! Finally we have MMA in america, this is by far the closest to "realistic" Because it gives the opportunity to put all these skills honest in their various forms, arts, and styles, into one. this can now test the strengths and weaknesses of each style. for example in Muay Thai, the striking is superior but you can't stand that tall in MMA you''ll be taken down. Or in Wrestling, their center of gravity is low and stable, but you can't lean so far forward without getting kicked in the face. and now people are figuring out those nuances! Now compare this to brawls and scraps on the streets or h2h combat in a war. These skills wouldn't develop from 1 offs, they're forged from daily training in the gym and forged in competitions based on rulesets! What do you think?
@@Utuberj0sh rules define what is allow or not and how to "win". In a survival combat, the winner is the guy that are in life. In some sport, some technics are possible because it is forbidden to hit opponents in face when you are on the ground, for example. Or because you know that your opponent dont have knife. By the way, sport is good for many reasons, sports allow a secur area to train. In a battlefield, one error, and it is the death.
Excuses for not stepping into the ring, dude I spent a long span of my training fighting in cages, on mats and in rings. Know what you're talking about before you type such trash. I played the tag game in Karate, I fought for Cage Rage and won their middle weight title (mma), I have entered the boxing ring and at 57 am still considering getting back in the ring to give kickboxing a go. You may define fighting as sport, but I also have lived a career that allowed me to fight in the streets, a lot and I tell you street fighting is not competition, and competition is not fighting.
@@cagedraptor Then you should know… any experience is better than none. Don’t criticize a martial art for pressure testing. Doing kata is not realistic.
Keep in mind a few things before you judge. They don't have the same popularity and reach as judo, and so they cannot attract the same caliber of athlete. They have a limited set of throws they can use (17.) So, even though there are many effective throws they could be using from judo, they are illegal, so they can't attempt them (making the aikidoka look sloppy.) Also many of these throws do not appear in judo-- some would be legal in judo, some not. Because they specialize in a set of throws that are not normally practiced by others, they still have utility in the martial arts world. It's like training with a boxer to improve your punches and punching defence.
@@Lasombrosidad With all due respect, approaching grappling in this manner is ridiculous. That's not technical, that's terrible. You behave like that in a Judogi in front of a Judoka or Jujitsuka, from a distance or not, they'll laugh, and you'll get hurt.
@@modalsurrealist no, is a respectable approach, is true that isn't another wholesome way to fight, but it has a complementary value, the judokas uses the same strategies sometimes. Throwing someone only using inertia from the distance of an extended arm instead of a hug could be a safe way to attack, don't you think?
@@Lasombrosidad I trained a little bit of Aikido. It is elegant. The idealization of Judo's philosophy. But bodies don't move like that. Your opponent doesn't strike as if with an imaginary katana blade. It's not one guy with perfect posture and another falling into his every move. You might see two masters facing off with each other striking in sudden samurai like bursts of magnificence like that. But let's not fool ourselves and pretend we can start there. That's not how the world works. That's not mastery works. That's how kung fu movies work. Judo forces you to find the path of least resistance within the chaos of battle. Real mastery is knowing where to move within what to another is a dangerous looking mess of activity. Same philosophy, but Aikido is training in a sandbox, Judo in an avalanche.
The point is to develop aikido as a martial art through competition, just as Judo and other styles have done in the past. The point is not to have “insert martial art” and see if it fairs any better. As a competitor, I think It’s unfortunate, but some of the comments I’ve read are why some martial arts are reluctant to embrace competition. To the judoka who commented earlier. I am also a judoka and BJJ practitioner. It’s not in the spirit of judo to challenge other martial arts hence the divide between BJJ and Judo, which is also unfortunate. Please check your ego and respect others. Your ignorance when insulting other practitioners brings shame to Judo. Lastly, congrats on all of those who compete to advance Aikido. I solute you. Congratulations.
Useless "martial art" You could call dumb wrestling martial art if you want but a real martial art would allow you to defend yourself against a real attack and aikido has nothing to offer
It wouldn't do a Judoka any good to enter this type of tournament. As a sport there are rules and those rules would keep them from doing almost all their skill sets. Most people just don't comprehend that sort of thing. A Judoka wouldn't fair any better and maybe even worse than those that do this type of tournament all the time. At least those that do it know and have skills per the rules. A Judoka would have to relearn and train their body to not do things. I could imagine a decent Judoka entering there, and they wouldn't win.
you don't understand Aikido just by watching it. They move like fluid because that is the best counter for aikido 'going with the flow'. If you resist against Aikido, there's a big chance your arm will break, unless you 'go with the flow' of the throw. In this competition, they resist each other because it is a COMPETITION. You will lose if you let yourself be thrown.
+Snakeman This is what happens when Aikido meets the real world where your opponent actually resists, doesn't telegraph his attacks, attacks from realistic ranges, at realistic speeds, and doesn't over commit their attacks. The reason this looks like Judo is because Judo is actually much more effective against resisting opponents. Aikido? Not so much.
Aikido was the first, but then I switched to kick-boxing, and later BJJ, both of which are far more practical and effective. I don't agree with your statement that Aikido isn't supposed to be used in fighting, as the entire concept is that you're supposed to be able to neutralize an aggressive attack without the need to strike and injure your opponent. Obviously, that's just not practical.
thats what Ueshiba said in his later years when he was highly influenced by religious ideas of Shintoism. Aikido is a martial art hence a fighting art.
I think the smaller guy is pretty impressive in how he got at least 2 good takedowns against a bigger opponent and especially with a rule set that really limits what he is allowed to do. Aside from that, I´m going to echo what a lot of other people have already said here, it´s good for Aikido to have some competition / sparring with resistance, but this in many ways does show how limited the art is.
@@joeockendon8148 this demonstrates that aikido, sometimes has value on the technical aspect, in a judo match the biggest guy could destroy the smaller guy, but this is a game of skills over the muscle, meanwhile judo or wrestling are skills and muscle (sometimes more muscle) in equal parts.
@@Lasombrosidad I agree to an extent, but size does give an advantage obviously. So while it might develop higher skill in lower weight athletes, it means larger competitors can rely on size

Akido competition is like a submarine with sails. neither concept is bad by itself - but it's hard to look at their combination without some, er, mixed feelings regarding their compatibility.
Give it time. As the sport evolves the techniques will become optimized to exploit the rules and specific skills will evolve. If judo and TaiChiChuan push hands competitors are allowed to enter then the aikido guys will have to adapt and they will improve. I know of one group who took the Daito Ryu style and distilled it down to seven techniques by incorporating boxing and kali.
They need to compete against other martial arts. They can't apply any damn techniques because they both know what the other is going to do. They're basically fighting a mirror.
HowlingMoonCinemas By that logic Boxing matches would always end up in a draw, same with Judo, BJJ, Muay Thai... You name it. Aikido is bullshit, deal with it.
Every martial artist should train with people from other styles. As many as possible. No style has all the answers, not even the hybrid styles like JKD and MMA. Sparring should always be included as well, which at least these aikidoka do (unlike most other styles of aikido.)
Its fucking joke, i have trained Yoshinkan Aikido for 15 years, i have 3rd dan in age 18!! I've been in Japan 3 times and i know how looks like aikido championship... Its not a fight because aikido is self defense martial art so lazy japanese teachers didnt think about some basic punches or kicks like in karate. In aikido we have kind of demonstrations when we show ju-waza (not real fight). I dont hate aikido because im a sensei but i also live in Poland. Here people arent kind and friendly like japanese people So we have to fight for our safety. We learn how to punch someone or how to kick but we also learn how to fight against others martial artist or typical slav boy :D. Guys dont hate aikido if you dont practise it, i understand that it looks unreal and indeed it is sometimes but it also can be very dangerous and strong martial art. Dont tell that this martial is worse than other, i depends from a person not from martial art. Greetings from Poland P.S this is not even aikido its some kind of magic from Hogwart :D
How you train is how you will fight... This is the oldest debate in the world and its hilarious that people keep discussing this. Combat is the world's most studied skill. Government's spend billions of dollars to learn techniques and training methods to get their soldiers combat ready in the shortest amount of time. A common denominator of all LIVE TRAINING is exposure to STRESS that mimics what would happen in a real fight. This includes your training partner giving the same amount of resistance and retaliation. The reason that aikido doesn't work and is a worthless martial art for self-defense is that it doesn't train ALIVE. Everything about aikido is dead. There is no real resistance. There is only the assumption that if the UKE resists too much, he will be seriously hurt. But that is ONLY an assumption. Aikido could not be more worthless, in every sense. Even the fake tradition and bowing and all that is contrived. REAL RESPECT IS EARNED through blood sweat and tears, through hard work and sacrifice. Through grinding it out on the mat and paying your dues... YOU NEED TO TRAIN ALIVE to PERFORM ALIVE. If you want to be able to perform and adapt against a person who is resisting, you'd better do it during training. It doesn't matter what you train. Imagine a boxer who only does shadow boxing or hits the heavy bag and focus mits going into a match against an opponent who actually spars against a live training partner. It's not even a question of who has the advantage in that situation. AIKIDOKA have been brainwashed by their own trauma, it's the closest thing actually to a martial arts cult, and a dangerous one at that, believing they can actually protect themselves on the street training the way they do, and then telling others that they can also defend themselves training the same way... It's criminal.
ssuuppeerrbbooyy because this garbage useless “fighting “ style doesn’t fucking work. Put any highschool wrestler or any hell a judoka with 3 months of training and he’ll easily put these retards on their back.
I feel like everyone who failed at every other martial art came to aikido lmfaoooo this is so pathetic I can't wrap my head around how sad this shit is lmao

Except akido isn't fighting, it's rehearsed falling, extremely impractical, and this sport version is trying to make it practical, but it's basically beginner level judo or wrestling
Aikido with resistance becomes beginner's Judo.
Because they have a common ancestor.
Aikido is not meant to beat anybody but oneself

a couple very wonderful Shomen Ate being used to score points. As for what it is I say it was skillful and enjoyable to watch. I'm not much on martial arts competitions as a whole but I enjoyed it. Anytime you place "rules" onto "fighting" it no longer becomes realistic but over all good job.
Except akido isn't fighting, it's rehearsed falling, extremely impractical, and this sport version is trying to make it practical, but it's basically beginner level judo or wrestling
@@rigo.acosta What do you know? Have you trained aikido extensively?
@@rigo.acostathey would still kick your ass tho.
