@AikikaiAikido, I have trained in Aikido 12months also jujitsu for 25years and judo for 3years and Muay Thai for 3years. It is the first time iv seen this footage and this is an excellent representation of aikido, it incorporates circles, spirals, triangles and wave motion. I would like to see more of these videos if possible as I am very impressed with the quality.
Yamada sensey is such great master, there is no push and pulling overacting or efforting to much only the perfect using of breathing power and the sensation of neverending apprenticeship, great video thanks a lot.
Excellent video! Thank you very much for sharing. The techniques are so smooth. The uke is doing an excellent job, too. If you do not know how to fall, you will hurt yourself badly.
Yet, that's all we have. An expectation. I just want to see Aikido in action. I want to see it versus a striking or grappling style. I think EVERYBODY does. That's all I wanted and you started spreading it nice and thick about my art and here we are. Amazing how you are not self-aware at all.
There are many videos about many techniques, all of them pretty good. But if someone wants to look a some excellent ukemi, then sticking to Donovan´s videos are the wisest choice.
Thanks, Unfortunately no one wins in an email discussion. I love aikido, but people train for very different reasons. Some are "New Age" junkies and that's fine. I've been lucky enough to have teachers who focus on the self defence of aikido as well trying to reconsile the "idea" of aikido as an art that brings people together. Everyone should practice their respective arts with respect for others. Yamada Sensei is a great ambassador of the martial arts.
yes you are right.. when somebody wants to knock you down...knock him first. and it is better to give than to receive this is the motto of most practitioners of martial arts
Another beautiful video .... These techniques show how much self-control can allow movement at the same time very strong and very fluid and aesthetic, and always in the priority not to hurt the opponent ... But I did not even this level! Thank you very much friend!
the "skirts" are used only at the highest levels (black belt, sensei, etc), and they are for helping the teacher keep his one point, balance, and they have a tab in the back to make you keep your lower back straight.
@Goergebenson That's because you think the moves are application techniques whereas they're actually body conditioning techniques to train the body to work as one collective whole.
I took this for about a year and the reason why it looks like that is because if you don't go with the flow you will have a joint break or injury. By allowing yourself to be thrown you prevent from getting injured
@MrDavidX96 Yes,sometimes there is some force and people start to learn how to use Aikido effectively, but there is a very thin balance between harmony and brawling, please don't confuse the two. As per fights between aikidoka vs others : like a grand master called Fujita Masatake shihan once said : "we all train so maybe one day when we will need to apply our knowledge we would have a better chance to convince the others that they were wrong to attack. And don't forget Keiko! Keiko! Keiko!"
And this is the value of weapons work: It shows you multiple strategies for putting your opponent behind you in the loop before the fight even starts. If you want to fight with swords you have to get past your opponents sword and get control of the line of attack before you can even think of striking. Which means you have to learn to close off avenues of attack and open up others so that your opponent is forced into doing something reasonably predictable allowing you to kill him.
I've seen that video. Mobility is the key to everything in Aikido including multiple attack. Judo for instance you do while stationary, I think the same holds true for BJJ stand up. At the moment of throwing you're stationary. Aikido though is, apart from koshi nage, done while in motion. If you're moving then they have to move too and it's hard to move and fight a moving target at the same time and you're shielded by the guy you're throwing.
I've trained somewhat in Aikido (still just starting out). I can tell you from practicing with other students, you really do need to know how to roll. Because if you fight against a technique, and do it wrong, it really hurts.Now is Aikido perfect? No. Does it hurt? Does it work? Depending on the practitioner, yes it does. There are certainly ways around some techniques, but many still work. Try it, then criticize. Good luck learning.
I was skeptical when I started. I practiced "resistive defense." For my doubt, I ate mat a lot. When you resist in a fight, you become tight and start telegraphing your weaknesses, making it that much easier for your opponent to reacquaint you with the floor. This is how O Sensei got so many students: They were trying to figure out how the little guy put them on the ground. People that have been practicing a while know that they resist at their own peril. It's better to roll with the punches.
The Aikidoka's reaction speed is therefore faster. By the time the attacker is positioned to kick or delivering the kick the Aikidoka could already be back on his feet and because he's ahead in the loop he has the advantage and can seize the initiative futher disrupting the OODA loops of the attackers who are now forced to react to the Aikidoka. This is what randori teaches, the disruption of the OODA loops of multiple ukes to the point they cannot effectively attack allowing escape.
The demonstration is simply for those who know Aikido... Those who do not, are completely taken by surprise.... I would say deluded..... The Sensei is using complicated hand, wrist, elbow and, centre of gravity techniques, to achieve the desired result of throwing his uke...... Such techniques, just as the waist and leg movements by Steven Segal in his movie fight scenes, are imperceptible to the untrained eye...... Of course, uke is thoroughly aware of the technique and is well prepared for it, which unfortunately is not the case on the street or, in war..... Nevertheless, I would recommend Aikido to all...... Life is a circle and, Aikido is understanding the circularity of motion, all motion, including, definitely including that of an attacker..... When Aikido techniques become part of a fighter's natural repertoire of defensive moves, he or she are there, with the Special Forces...
I never said there weren't any but how many stand up videos are there compared to the ground work videos? I think this says something about the priorites about the average BJJer. Plus in the book it says that stand up training is a fairly minior part of BJJ and that therefore most sparring starts from a kneeling position.
Many of these aiki techniques can be applied to forceful strikes with great effectivness! However, you must realise that many of these grabbing techniques have stemmed from the samurai era, where it would be a common attack, in an attempt to prevent a samurai from drawing his sword, for various reasons! Also applies to being grabbed in the street, common for women, also in bars ...etc! This is a very good demo, also look up Nishio sensei & daito ryu, as they are also very good! oh steven segal!
Got the book! As I suspected it's just old school Judo. Amusingly a lot of it is found in Aikido too although we add tai sabaki to produce kuzushi and use atemi etc.
@isaeagle4031Thanks you for that very understandable explanation. I believe the title - Advanced Aikido is misleading. Using your fine example tenkan can be performed by grounding the centre and using a hip rotation. This takes out an unnecessary - step back - step forward - and make the technique dynamic.
Ukemi is the art of recieving technique part of which is what to do when you are falling. You forget that the attacker would be kicking at a target that had probably thrown himself clear and was actively moving away from him. I'm not talking about rolling on the spot here, I'm talking about systems of escape and evasion. You should play british bulldog, teaches you to stay on your feet when six guys are dragging you down. Awesome game.
Depends. In training you generally throw people across the mat, in the street and if you're having a full on training session you throw them through the floor. There have been times when I've not taken ukemi correctly while being thrown across the mat and I've been badly injured, as in three months hobbling around on crutches. I dread to think what would happen if I screwed up while being thrown INTO the mat.
OODA loops have to do with any decision made by a human being. The Aikidoka is aware that he is falling before the opponent is so he is ahead in the OODA loop. Plus the Aikidoka only has one course of action so his OODA loop is faster. The attacker has many different options to choose from and many other variables to consider all of which which slows down his response. Then there's the time needed to close the distance to strike and the fact that he is stationary kicking at a moving target.
No it just says that if you end up on the ground you'll be dead before you can do anything. Roughly speaking that is. Ukemi is the main defence here, if you feel like you're going off balance you take ukemi to escape your opponent and that should buy time to get up again. Hence in really good dojo tori often has to chase uke across the mat and hit him before he gets up.
We have adult, beginner and advanced classes. Blue belts train with whites and purples help out too. Great community. You don't have to tell me that all the ranks train together. I did it. I remember watching first kyu at work and I remember them telling me that applying Aikido in a real fight was damn hard. I remember watching the advanced students train and I still maintain that it was unrealistic. 6th kyu or any you still see the training and the results. More than you can say for BJJ
Yes, I think aikido would be effective against modern MMA techniques. A simple example: MMA fighters often shoot in for a leg sweep. A defense is to lower center of gravity and oppose the force of the attacker so he cannot take your legs or disturb your center. From there you apply rotational force to takedown your opponent. Instead of receiving the force and opposing it an aikidoist would simply step in, take an arm, and rotate his center to apply ikkyo and submit his opponent.
Which brings us full circle and back to my original point. BJJ doesn't seriously consider multiple attack senarios and therefore it is a tournament fighting art. At least in the UK it is because 1 v 1 is rare here.
I mean we still attack weak points in the armour during weapons work, we still use weapons in conjunction with throws and joint locks koryu jujutsu style. Weapon attacks are still the basis of our attacks, defence against and use of a weapon is still the basis of our kata. We still use kata! The reference point for technical correctness is if do the kata with a bokken and if your cuts are in the right place your kata is correct. Although it isn't koryu the koryu influence is easy to see.
I belonged to San Juan Aikika Aikido, my Senior Instructor Javier Vazquez Bravo Sensei and fellow practicioners follow the teaching of Yamada Sensei. i.
Having been an Aikido student for more than six years, and having received, and delivered these technigues, I can say with much clarity that these techniques are effective, and based on physics. Big, strong, out-of-control bozos are hard to deal with, in any art. But if I had one art to pin my hopes on, this would be it. Is there a magic art? No, but sensei Yamada gives a wonderful demonstration here of standard Aikido technique. Sword culture. Life or death. Make the first move count.
Sure it works... even more than those whom does hard techniques... Aikido gives inner peace an templance... it helps better that any other martial art because you learn how to be calm with a clear mind in aggressive situations plus use the body mass straigth... what you see in this video is "Practice" aikido uses jiujutsu forms for training, but it has no form... we can punch, kick, pull hair, pin eyes, pin articulations etc. ones you know aikido there´s no need to figth.
The more you train in Aikido the better you can respond to quick punches like some1 was writing in here, and the more effective you become in controlling any opponent. Though with the more time you spend and better you get, the more you understand we are not training to bring harm to others but to make Peace. MMA and UFC have different purposes, so please don't compare them. Cheers :)
I don't dare comment, Sensei Yamada, I can't second guess his "stuff", you know? I can say that with all of life's tremors, Aikido is the only peace I have found. It is profoundly sensible, I wholeheartedly would promote it, even after 25 years in the striking arts. It does not compare, it's a whole 'nother box of stuff. It's real. Before WWII, Sensei did it to you, after WWII, you had to come to him first! It was now "peaceful".. It's all based on 3' razor blades! One move had to work.
i still cant believe the beauty of aikido. If used correctly, its just as painful as jujitsu and muay tai. but at the same time puts on an awesome visual display like tae kwon do.
@Goergebenson Yah that's what i also thought at first when I was just startin to learn the techniqs shown here..i even told my uke "hey dont fall so hard youl get hurt! is it some sort of a choreograph?" when im doing the task of uke myself i then proved that its not part of a choreogrph!! techniqs are painful when done properly..can cause much injury to the uke if the falling is not done this way...with these many moves shown here ull only choose 1for practical application..really effective!
These movements have always mesmerized me. In this video the opponent is constantly trying to grab him, but how effective is the art against someone coming in with a 1,2 or 1,2,3 combo punch? I'm not trying to compare, just asking. Or can anyone tell me of some videos where this happens?
In Aikido we have this party trick, we get say six guys and they surround the Aikidoka and try and drag him down and then the Aikidoka collapses the pile. You have to experience an Aikidoka's base to believe it. I was shocked by how good my base is when I started judo.
I've seen pissed Aikidoka stumble over things and be on their feet again before anyones really realised that they've fallen over. After five years ukemi becomes automatic, you even cease to try to save yourself from falling you just go with it and use your body's momentum to take ukemi.
Aikido is defense without maiming anyone. Aikido techniques can be changed In fighting multiple terrorists, Aikido would be used with other martial arts techniques. Spinning enemies would be used to keep other terrorists away (like a shield), then flip or throw terrorists onto others. During throws or flips, it's best to dislocate at least 1 enemy joint &/or break some bones. Injured terrorists can't fight as effectively. As terrorists untangle themselves, there'd be time to neutralize another.
And I admitted that ages ago. It's interesting that so many BJJ schools seem to ignore the standing side though. That's because 40 and 41 are techniques and this video is kata.
@Akbarquaran i only speak a little japanese, i don't go too much farther than ja matasda watshi wa mrdavidx96 des and uke naga etc, you'll have to tell me what Keiko means
The same could be said of Aikido though. Aikidoka are seriously hard to take down because we're used to taking ukemi which so much of the time is an attempt to regain posture after it's been broken. Eventually you end up being good at it. It would seem though that whatever's written that in practice, as shown from the various videos, the prioity of the BJJer is to get down on the ground ASAP.
The very first technique you learn in Aikido is an armbar from the ground. You're right not all Aikido schools emphasize atemi -- that is to say not all schools teach strikes that make contact. This is for safety during training. In a real life situation where an attacker is non-compliant these same "strikes" may actually hit and cause damage. I'm sure the reason he added BJJ to his repetoir was to experience another martial art. BJJ has many, many good moves that I am not denying.
@JarJarAssault You don't need to know any theory. Just need to learn and use at your advantage the physic's laws. As per the second questions in some your tendins/bones can be damaged (breaking bones is not that easy as they picture it), in others you would naturally fall. But falling without knowing how to protect the head is as dangerous as having tendins damaged.
real life does not evolve around fights, real life doesn't work like that. There are other things like: social dynamics, health, education, intelligence, success, goal setting, money making,fun,personality, confidense, humour, charisma,relationships, feeling good, nature,people, pr.....etc In that sense, i think Aikido people use it and make it work in every aspect of their life. As for real fights(very rare)>depends on the character,situational awareness, who hurts first...and luck
BJJ and Aikido both come from Jujitsu. In order for you to employ BJJ against you would need to be able to perform a takedown -- something any proficient aikidoist would never allow you to do. To put it another way: How do you pass a guard when there is no guard to pass?
@djjack2k8 Muay Thai is like stepped-up boxing. Aikido is all about the opponent's force in his charge, kick, punch, etc and redirecting it in your favor. Really, I'm not sure how they'd go together considering the totally different styles of movement (ie you typically have very little contact time with your hands in muay thai), but I'm sure they can in some way.
I was toying with the idea of doing a video of my overweight self, topless shaddow boxing after 4 tins of strongbow. I'm just a touch worried whether my vid would have such a polished finish as this video and I'm almost certaint that it wouldnt be quite so technically stylised. Any views
Can anyone who does aikido tell me if u need to know the philosophy and knowlege of it all, like the'life energy' stuff. For u to get any use from it. And also if uke doesn't flip on his own does he flip naturally or just break bones?
@DiabolusIgnis = ) I agree with you. that is martial arts it reciprocates the action of the attacker. one way or the other you have to stop an attacker who is bent on putting you down... knock him first.

Great respects to Yamada Sensei! I enjoy his techniques and his attitude to Aikido.
😀
Exclellent Aikido representation. Very good quality.
Excellent technique from Yamada sensei and excellent uke from Donovan Waitie sensei
Both Shihans have made their transitions. Their legacy remains.
That was very slow and beautiful movements. Thank you.
Yamada Sensei has excellent techniques. I enjoy watching him.
Yamada sensey is such great master, there is no push and pulling overacting or efforting to much only the perfect using of breathing power and the sensation of neverending apprenticeship, great video thanks a lot.

The technique at 2:02 is just plain awesome!!!

Before WWII, Sensei did it to you, after WWII, you had to come to him first! It was now "peaceful".. It's all based on 3' razor blades! One move had to work.
i still cant believe the beauty of aikido.
If used correctly, its just as painful as jujitsu and muay tai.
but at the same time puts on an awesome visual display like tae kwon do.

Yah that's what i also thought at first when I was just startin to learn the techniqs shown here..i even told my uke "hey dont fall so hard youl get hurt! is it some sort of a choreograph?" when im doing the task of uke myself i then proved that its not part of a choreogrph!! techniqs are painful when done properly..can cause much injury to the uke if the falling is not done this way...with these many moves shown here ull only choose 1for practical application..really effective!
RIP Yamada and Waite Sensei. Warriors of peace ☯️🥋🙌💪
Muy buen video, me ha gustado mucho!! Saludos desde Aikido Musubi Badalona
Greatings from Aikido Musubi Badalona ( Spain)
Like Donovan Sensei!!
@53v3N7 pff it might LOOK slow but you can definitely feel something like a sort of "ki" whnn you're up against a high ranking sensei
These movements have always mesmerized me. In this video the opponent is constantly trying to grab him, but how effective is the art against someone coming in with a 1,2 or 1,2,3 combo punch? I'm not trying to compare, just asking. Or can anyone tell me of some videos where this happens?
nice techniques...i really like it....thanks
Really beautiful really enjoyed.
In Aikido we have this party trick, we get say six guys and they surround the Aikidoka and try and drag him down and then the Aikidoka collapses the pile.
You have to experience an Aikidoka's base to believe it. I was shocked by how good my base is when I started judo.
Hey guys i started muay thai about a year ago and i was wondering would these two styles blend together ??
Put it this way. I can't find a single video of a 1 v 1 fight in the UK but I can find several of multiple attackers.
I've seen pissed Aikidoka stumble over things and be on their feet again before anyones really realised that they've fallen over. After five years ukemi becomes automatic, you even cease to try to save yourself from falling you just go with it and use your body's momentum to take ukemi.
I'm waiting for amazon to deliver the book, if you're right I'll admit it.
Aikido is defense without maiming anyone. Aikido techniques can be changed
In fighting multiple terrorists, Aikido would be used with other martial arts techniques.
Spinning enemies would be used to keep other terrorists away (like a shield), then flip or throw terrorists onto others. During throws or flips, it's best to dislocate at least 1 enemy joint &/or break some bones. Injured terrorists can't fight as effectively.
As terrorists untangle themselves, there'd be time to neutralize another.
can somebody give me some advice on how to get started i want to learn this sooo bad but i dont know where to begin
And I admitted that ages ago. It's interesting that so many BJJ schools seem to ignore the standing side though.
That's because 40 and 41 are techniques and this video is kata.
@Akbarquaran i only speak a little japanese, i don't go too much farther than ja matasda watshi wa mrdavidx96 des and uke naga etc, you'll have to tell me what Keiko means
Beautiful
The same could be said of Aikido though. Aikidoka are seriously hard to take down because we're used to taking ukemi which so much of the time is an attempt to regain posture after it's been broken.
Eventually you end up being good at it.
It would seem though that whatever's written that in practice, as shown from the various videos, the prioity of the BJJer is to get down on the ground ASAP.
The very first technique you learn in Aikido is an armbar from the ground.
You're right not all Aikido schools emphasize atemi -- that is to say not all schools teach strikes that make contact. This is for safety during training. In a real life situation where an attacker is non-compliant these same "strikes" may actually hit and cause damage.
I'm sure the reason he added BJJ to his repetoir was to experience another martial art. BJJ has many, many good moves that I am not denying.
WOW!
This is a really good video, best Aikido one I can find on here. I am still new to this....is it Yoshinkan?
Anyone have any advice on a good instructional Aiken dvd?
Es hermoso este arte marcial, espero no tener que usarlo nunca, y para aquellas personas que están pensando usarlo para pelear, no es el propósito
Fantastic!
@JarJarAssault You don't need to know any theory. Just need to learn and use at your advantage the physic's laws.
As per the second questions in some your tendins/bones can be damaged (breaking bones is not that easy as they picture it), in others you would naturally fall. But falling without knowing how to protect the head is as dangerous as having tendins damaged.
real life does not evolve around fights, real life doesn't work like that. There are other things like: social dynamics, health, education, intelligence, success, goal setting, money making,fun,personality, confidense, humour, charisma,relationships, feeling good, nature,people, pr.....etc In that sense, i think Aikido people use it and make it work in every aspect of their life. As for real fights(very rare)>depends on the character,situational awareness, who hurts first...and luck
We train 3-on-1 or even 7-on-1, it doesn't matter. Breathe and move, that's all it takes.
BJJ and Aikido both come from Jujitsu. In order for you to employ BJJ against you would need to be able to perform a takedown -- something any proficient aikidoist would never allow you to do.
To put it another way: How do you pass a guard when there is no guard to pass?
@djjack2k8 Muay Thai is like stepped-up boxing. Aikido is all about the opponent's force in his charge, kick, punch, etc and redirecting it in your favor. Really, I'm not sure how they'd go together considering the totally different styles of movement (ie you typically have very little contact time with your hands in muay thai), but I'm sure they can in some way.
I was toying with the idea of doing a video of my overweight self, topless shaddow boxing after 4 tins of strongbow. I'm just a touch worried whether my vid would have such a polished finish as this video and I'm almost certaint that it wouldnt be quite so technically stylised.
Any views
Can anyone who does aikido tell me if u need to know the philosophy and knowlege of it all, like the'life energy' stuff. For u to get any use from it. And also if uke doesn't flip on his own does he flip naturally or just break bones?
@DiabolusIgnis = ) I agree with you. that is martial arts it reciprocates the action of the attacker. one way or the other you have to stop an attacker who is bent on putting you down... knock him first.
were can i find this kind of music ???
Still adding and the first vid has pleanty of multiple attack.
