I loved the ideology, and there are good techniques and movements, but other ones could be erased..

Man, they have the best. They have to, because aikido techniques typically require letting the attacker attack fully, i.e. letting them get fully committed to that strike, or punch or stab. You can't move out of the way early on a punch since then the attacker can just redirect the punch, tracking you and landing it. But if the aikidoka waits until the punch has almost landed, then the attacker cannot change direction. He is fully committed to land that punch in a narrower range. THEN the aikidoka moves, after all attacker's energy and momentum is committed. It is this sheer bravery to stand longer, to show (feign) vulnerability, that is essential to aikido, and REQUIRES the excellent footwork/taisabake to get off the line of attack in a split second at the last split second, to then take the opponents energy and use it against him. But not just to evade attack, good footwork is essential in all phases of aikido technique. Tomiki sensei, in particular, was known for developing his excellent unsoku (footwork) exercise, doing so in a Chinese prison cell after being captured in WWII, which gave us, his students, the gift of excellent footwork exercises that can be done in a limited, confined space - close quarters.

One correction to my first comment: Tomiki sensei developed his tegatena dousa while in the Chinese prison, not unsoku (which is really derived from judo). This is essentially unsoku combined with added simultaneous arm motions. We typically begin practice first with unsoku (footwork only exercise) and then we do the tegatena dousa, adding the arm motions. The importance of unsoku and tegatena dousa is that these are the fundamental building block motions that are later incorporated into all the various techniques.

The technique is called Shihō-Nage, roughly Four-Directional Thow in English, and is a stapple of Japanese Jū-Jutsu and many of its descendant arts. I understand holding distain towards regular Aikidō due to the lack of free sparring; and by extention, proper pressure testing; but why Tomiki/Shodokan Aikidō?
Davi Stanesco Tomiki Aikido (or Shodokan Aikido) was founded by a highly ranked Judo practitioner who basically grafted Judo's take on the importance of sparring onto Aikido. It's a pretty old style and has been around for a while but "mainstream" Aikido people seem to look at it like some sort of abomination.
KillerSalmon Just to expand a little: O'sensei brought his new art (aikijustsu, before renamed aikido) to his friend Jigoro Kano, founder of Judo. Kano was very impressed and sent one of his top students, Kenji Tomiki, to go study with his friend Morihei Uesheba. Tomiki fell in love with Aikido and was O'sensei's first great student - first to be certified Menkyo Kaiden and later was first to achieve 8th dan when they switched from Koryu to dan ranking (the only martial artist to achieve 8th dan in two arts, the other being Judo). Tomiki was also a professor. As an educator, his greatest contribution to Aikido was to distill O'sensei's sometimes-ambiguous and disorganized teaching style into a systematic approach, and later, when Tomiki was the Aikido and Judo instructor at Waseda University and wanted to create an Aikido club, the university required competition for all sports clubs. It took years of development, but eventually Tomiki was able to extend Judo competition safety rules and limitations to Aikido. The purpose of Aikido competition is to test effectiveness under as-close-to-real circumstances as possible. This was due to Tomiki's recognition of the importance of Aikido being practical and truly effective. And, as any aikidoka of any style will attest, one must stay relaxed and soft to have effective aikido. So this was the ultimate practice and test - to see if one could remain relaxed and soft in a highly intense situation, going at it 100% while still also maintaining safety. I love how these two aikidoka are going at it full steam yet never get angry or macho, but rather care for each other, like at 00:27. After the bigger guy (looks like Kondo sensei?) gets a good shomenate he then reaches down to make sure the fallen guys is OK. This is beautiful Aikido spirit that even Aikikai would surely appreciate, even though they abhor the concept of Aikido competition.
Well its something that has been known & practised in Tomiki aikido since the later 1950's and early 60's, but the Aikikai wanted nothing to do with it!! Its not aikido!! LMAO!! THAT is why Aikikai aikido is useless in the octagon or MMA... No mystery there....So Spot on Robert!! It's a shame that the rest of the people who contend within the movement don't do this type of performance and end up doing bad judo!!.... I practised Tomiki's aikido for 18 years before moving on as I thought the tanto randori shiai was a joke!! Sport or no sport, whoever thought up this tanto randori business has never faced someone with a real knife!! The randori kyogi or toshu randori, on the other hand, is far more realistic as is similar to boxing in footwork except of course there are no punches.... What I did was to incorporate punching and kicking into toshu randori with the players wearing some body and head protection to get an even more realistic approach... But that was just me... I found that given that approach it made ones "aikido" far more realistic!! Show less REPLY
I am impressed by how exemplary and cleanly these guys move, attack and avoid attacks. Their footwork is brilliant. All their moves are really optimized, and they know exactly when to give in for the other to initiate an attack and when to disengage. The step in + chin lift in "contra tempo" is brilliant. The sideways shoulder pull on an stepping opponent is brilliant. The armlock and rolling is brilliant. And all attacks are perfectly timed. Really really very impressive and clean.
Yeah!! And I practised this form of training and competition shiai from about 1978 right up until 1990, when I retired from doing competition... I still practised at club level right up until my mid 50's, but It was getting a bit too much for the back and joints, so just taught it instead.... Great fun though and it IS very effective in learning it from a self-defence POV... Its easy to adapt to all sorts of attack including punching & kicking!!
@@MrAlepedroza it's fake because it's fake. Its too slow and the landing is too clean. That throw or ones similar are used all over... they just dont look that clean.
@@hard2hurt The throw is not that slow, come on. Not even throws in the Olympics are lightning fast. Sometimes guys get the breakfall perfectly, though the chances are low, it still can happen. Low percentage move taking place =/= fake. You're proving nothing there.
@@MrAlepedroza man this is a work, like a pro wrestling match. The stumbling after the redirects is all them just selling. The first two falls the guy takes are him selling the move for the other guy, the first one is especially egregious. The last throw was so slow and the selling/break fall was demo/movie stunt level fake. In real life, people try to put their feet back under them and none of these throws had enough pepper on them to actually cause these clean, flat falls. If you watch the real matches on this very channel you can see the difference. This is a work.
This is very interesting to me. I think what helps is to think about combat as a management of ranges. aikijido, to me, seems to fit just in between the striking range and the clinch range. I am very happy to see what appears to be a legit demonstration and not the nonsense we see all over the internet.
i would love to see aikido really develop into an effective style, im not sure how different it would be from judo if it did. im happy to see there are people who are attempting to develop aikido that doesnt require compliance. best wishes to them
Dan Theodore, Shuji Maruyama, myself, a few others Dan Theodore has been able to apply Aikido techniques against MMA fighters (so have I, to a lesser extent) Shuji Maruyama is, to my knowledge, the only one developing Aikido in the same manner and basic direction as O Sensei did -- and still is pushing it into new territory. I've begun to divide the curriculum into "gi" and "no gi" aikido myself, but, I prefer to keep the art truer to what O Sensei intended... folks like Dan Theodore can continue to develop its MMA applicability -- for me, that's good but somewhat missing the point. Past using Aikido in BJJ (nikkyo is easy to get from guard) I prefer not to turn a nonviolent self defense art into a fighting art -- I prefer to focus on the scalability that makes the art unique against arts like Judo.
@@edtheangler4930it mostly isn't. Schools that practice live randori are the exception, and the ones that encourage competition are even rarer. In no small part because Aikido as a whole is already a niche art, and finding people amongst that small.sample size that practice it that way just make a competitive scene largely unviable.
@@asteriskcolon It is not just Aikido. As a Wing Chun practitioner, I have been doing exactly the same. That is, to try to improve and reinvent my footwork so that I can apply the real Wing Chun without using the boxing stance and boxing footwork which will destroy the hand forms of Wing Chun. Whether it is Aikido or Wing Chun, we have to deal with other fighting styles, not just our own style.
It did, judo and jiujitsu. You put an aikido black belt up against a judo or jiujitsu black belt the aikido guy will get destroyed every single time. The problem is that a real fighter knows footwork and how to punch while moving so fast that aikido cannot respond, the victim has to throw fully into the aikido practitioner so he can be misdirected. You want to see an aikido blackbelt get knocked out quick just watch them full contact spar a muay thai fighter or jiujitsu fighter, not even black belts, just 1-2 years of training. It is good to redirect to avoid contact and not get injured for a few seconds in a bar though.
Yes! Aikido isn't about lunging inward to attack, it's primary focus is how to avoid attacks at all costs. Basically the complete opposite of Traditional Karate forms.
Nice to see some live Aikido grappling. I wish there was more of this on UA-cam. Possibilities for those looking to enhance Aikido grappling: 1- Grapple without gi to reduce the temptation to grab it and reduce pauses in the match 2- Allow submissions and count them as a condition for instant victory vs points for throws 3- Allow body clinching so the fast moving parts (flailing arms) can be slowed so that joint locks can actually be applied 4- If an opponent goes to the ground trying to escape a joint lock, allow the attacker to attempt to finish the technique as long as they remain standing or kneeling (as in the Aikido kata) I think Aikido could be developed into an effective martial art if more Aikidoka were open to the idea of live competition and modifying the rule set. Anyone who's been in an Aikido or similar joint lock knows that the techniques work, the question is just how to effectively get into a position where you can actually finish the move. Unfortunately, I don't think grasping the air trying to snatch flailing limbs is a good way to do that. Intercepting the body and rushing into the clinch or other body hold first seems more plausible.
I didnt see a whole of grappling. No clinching, no grip/hand fighting, no pins or submission attempts, and no positional attacks/advancement. I saw two blokes dance about a bit and one get thrown once or twice.
This is a specific practice, it's barely free grappling, tomiki competition is designed to showcase that it's possible to use Wristlock throws on people when they give you momentum and over commit, problem is that most trained fighters won't make those mistakes and that's why we don't see it performed in the cage, still a cool and interesting practice
I've aways admired the esthetic of aikido but felt it had limited value combatively. This is the first time I've ever seen what seems to be true sparring against a resisting opponent. The technique at 1:10 was beautiful, textbook beautiful.
"This is the first time I've ever seen what seems to be true sparring against a resisting opponent. The technique at 1:10 was beautiful, textbook beautiful." They're both "demoing" like unscripted pro wrestling. It's "competitive" with the footwork, but if one guy gets a move started, the other plays along and gives a big fall.
Yonkyonage, actually. It was really well done though, as a counter. There's a turn that looks like shihonage but it was a turn out towards the arm instead of to the center. Pause and go frame by frame at 1:11 and you can see the grip is yonkyo
Wow this was much better than other vids on youtube. Plus he actually used aikido and didnt turn it into judo showing application and useability in real situation :0
One thing great of aikido is that it isnt a competition sport but a budo. Tomiki the founder of this competetive "aikido", did study with the founder of aikido, when it wasnt called aikido yet. It was called aiki bujutsu or something like that. Tomiki chose the name aikido though for obvious reasons, lifting on the popularity of aikido. Tomiki was asked to not use the name aikido, because (like it or not) aikido explicitly rejects competition. Unfortunately Tomiki disrespectex his teacher and just continued using aikido. the founder of aikido, he was a student of daito ryu jujutsu. because he changed this great bujutsu,he also changed the nameinto aikido. Tomiki should have done the same and chose his own name for his competetive budo creation.
Something about it scares me like the whole goal is to protect your own arms from being twisted while twisting the other persons arms, all while sliding around on ice.
+Manchester Budo Club bull shit where did you get that idea from. It looks bad because it is bad . tomiki randori only makes sense without the tanto. The tanto is mostly ignored or slapped away . The techniques are wrestled on with little or no kuzushi. It is still and always has been an embarrassing part of the tomiki system.
+Ian Moody That Tomiki Aikido was developed as a defense against judo? I got it from Bob King Sensei of the TAA. It makes sense. Tomiki was a judoka first, so his understanding of Ueshiba's art was filtered through a judo understanding of kuzushi and tsukuri. I agree with you that this randori stuff looks awful. You should see the Russians when they are REALLY going at, and there is very little elegance to it. It is like bulls in a china shop. But I disagree that Tomiki Randori only makes sense without the tanto. The 17 was specifically developed for tanto randori. The stuff that does not work safely in competition is in the Goshin kata (Koryu Dai Ichi through Dai Roku). Again, that is from Bob King Sensei.
+Manchester Budo Club I have seen them I have competed myself nothing to grand area wins and nationals for open kata and ninindori. I have competed at the world championships in leeds . open kata did quite well. Just outside the medals. does not change the fact tanto randori is a awful spectacle. no aikido very little judo . just bad wrestling. don't get me wrong I have seen some good stuff in tanto randori . back in the day guys like bill taniki and Ali dervish. but even that was not real aikido. as I said I hold a third Dan in tomiki. I credit it with a lot but the best thing I ever did was leave . I teach self defense now . elbows headbutts knees kicks. All inside an effective aikido syllabus. tomiki aikido used to be great. randori sacrifice throws. now it pains me to see everyone faking. pre set attacks pre arranged responses. just embarrassing. The final straw. when I realised I could walk up and punch any of the grading panel in the face and they did not have the ability to deal with it. I realised tomiki was a stylised joke. my instructor has left and is now a high ranking yoshinkan instructor. everyone I respected has moved on. take my advice don't waste your time . Take the skills and apply them to real attacks . and real scenarios. or you'll end up a master of nothing just look at the top flight in tomiki. laughable.
Вообще все подобные единоборства на мой взгляд надо изучать после какого нибудь из стандартных смешанных стилей mma, kudo, боевое самбо, армейский рукопашный без разницы. Работа ног у них мне понравилась. Какие нибудь болячки и потом из другого подобного что нибудь взять и всё что можно стараться адаптировать. К своей технике не забывать её тренировать.
Cool stuff. The rule set is so odd, without punching or kicking, it's just so... off... somehow... Aikido works much better if you have gloves and shin pads and go full contact.
What happened to that adagio "the first to strike has already lost" or smthg? They do not use high guard to safe the face, they should think of a street situation
He was charging forward and ran into a long arm guard under his jaw. Basically the momentum of his body kept going after his head was stopped abruptly which threw him off balance. Stiff-arms happen all the time in American football which is really the same principle; the body goes where the head goes. Head control is very effective in martial arts, take the Thai clinch for example.
He got caught with a Shomen-ate, which is actually a striking technique (punch to the head), modified to be a throw (push the head to break the opponent's balance). He "launched" himself backward like that because his opponent timed the technique just right. You can a couple of instances where this particular technique was tried, but didn't have any effect.
1st time i've ever seen a proper sparring match with 2 aikidoka. Where were all the fancy throws you see in the demonstrations? 1 guy did use a pretty c ool throw but you see,it isn't as easy as the demonstrations make it out to be when you have a resisting opponent is it?
But at least judo competition does have legit throws in them,because they work. Wjmhat did you see here?Just 2 guys in pajamas dancing around doing nothing. I take back my original post.Tbese guys didn't do anything. Because aikido is bullshido.
This is great to watch, attempting application against a "live" opponent instead of set movements. If anything, Aikido could become like Judo, a respected art and sport that has its own rules and competitions. Not everything needs to be MMA. Seems like these guys are trying to catch the timing of movement and use that to throw the other off balance, or better yet, get them in some kind of aikido technique.
Toshu randori... is this one version of sparring out of many for Shodokan? Does anyone know? Asking mostly out of interest of developing a new style of Aikido sparring... but the better I understand Shodokan the less I will step on its toes.
Just because the nature of aikido is pure defense, wouldn't it make more sense for an aikido tournament to be about how well an aikidoka can hold up against NON-aikidokas (ie, other martial artists, fighters, and so forth)?
+Nth Bar-Fields not many places do this because o sensei frowned upon competition so almost all of the aikido dojos you will see never practice against different styles and tomiki aikido is the only style of aikido that actively promotes competition.
+Nth Bar-Fields No, Aikido is not a pure defense art, there is also attacks technics by hand(s) or with arms (bokken,...) Tournement is a common description of practicing art against another one to juge how far we are, in aikido we do tournement all the time. Last point is that Aikido is not to how well you are against some else but how well you are against yourself, if you know better yourself, anyone else could be handle very easly. Did you notice in all Aikido video that more aikidokas is old more he is fast and strong, we can't say that to other arts... Peace brother
They have the same techniques (more or less) as other Aikido styles although theirs tend to be more direct and linear. It may look sloppy but that's because they're doing their techniques against someone who knows what the other person is trying to do, and knows all the counters, etc.
Yes, and it isn't the best style of Aikido, either. Better than Aikikai (because with the exception of rare, HQ Aikikai instructors -- they do exist -- Aikikai is pretty low quality, and sadly, the most ubiquitous style of Aikido).
I'm a Judoka. I can say they move their feet too much. In a fight moving too much make you weak to leg attack. I would already throw them to the grown.
Yeah, it was an old judoka who invented Aikido for old people who wanted to keep practicing Judo but didn't want to keep destroying themselves... Judo is really hard on the body... I guess you wouldn't want to keep that rythm into your 50s...
@@justoalvarez3940 this isn't remotely true. Aikido was not invented by a judoka (or at least he had quite little judo experience) and was not invented for old people. Tomiki, who created this type of randori, was a judoka, but he did not create aikido.
Looks like 1 side step hook would end all the movement.. the art of not hitting in a fight smh.. Old Stevie Siegal showed how ridiculous this art is.. especially vs a real trained fighter .. Aikido would be usless against a wrestler or boxer. It was origianlly used to fight against swordsmen
They actually are using striking techniques - the first three techniques that landed are "atemi" or striking techniques that have been modified to be throws. There were two Shomen-ate's (basically a straight attack down the centerline) and the ushiro-ate (a strike to the back of the neck, modified to be a back pulldown for sparring). The first five techniques allowed in sparring and competition are strikes that have been modified to be throws.
This video is so underrated... actually the whole tomiki style is underrated... it should be more popular

The technique is called Shihō-Nage, roughly Four-Directional Thow in English, and is a stapple of Japanese Jū-Jutsu and many of its descendant arts.
I understand holding distain towards regular Aikidō due to the lack of free sparring; and by extention, proper pressure testing; but why Tomiki/Shodokan Aikidō?
@@leondarley2811 lmao that’s not shiho nage. I know soooo much more about general martial arts stuff now. That’s a sankyo
Finally they understood that for defeating someone you need to practice with a resisting opponent.
Ya, i know. Some techniques are good. But the metodology still sucks.
Davi Stanesco Tomiki Aikido (or Shodokan Aikido) was founded by a highly ranked Judo practitioner who basically grafted Judo's take on the importance of sparring onto Aikido. It's a pretty old style and has been around for a while but "mainstream" Aikido people seem to look at it like some sort of abomination.
KillerSalmon Just to expand a little: O'sensei brought his new art (aikijustsu, before renamed aikido) to his friend Jigoro Kano, founder of Judo. Kano was very impressed and sent one of his top students, Kenji Tomiki, to go study with his friend Morihei Uesheba. Tomiki fell in love with Aikido and was O'sensei's first great student - first to be certified Menkyo Kaiden and later was first to achieve 8th dan when they switched from Koryu to dan ranking (the only martial artist to achieve 8th dan in two arts, the other being Judo). Tomiki was also a professor. As an educator, his greatest contribution to Aikido was to distill O'sensei's sometimes-ambiguous and disorganized teaching style into a systematic approach, and later, when Tomiki was the Aikido and Judo instructor at Waseda University and wanted to create an Aikido club, the university required competition for all sports clubs. It took years of development, but eventually Tomiki was able to extend Judo competition safety rules and limitations to Aikido. The purpose of Aikido competition is to test effectiveness under as-close-to-real circumstances as possible. This was due to Tomiki's recognition of the importance of Aikido being practical and truly effective. And, as any aikidoka of any style will attest, one must stay relaxed and soft to have effective aikido. So this was the ultimate practice and test - to see if one could remain relaxed and soft in a highly intense situation, going at it 100% while still also maintaining safety. I love how these two aikidoka are going at it full steam yet never get angry or macho, but rather care for each other, like at 00:27. After the bigger guy (looks like Kondo sensei?) gets a good shomenate he then reaches down to make sure the fallen guys is OK. This is beautiful Aikido spirit that even Aikikai would surely appreciate, even though they abhor the concept of Aikido competition.
+KillerSalmon "Mainstream" Aikido practitioners hate it because it shows how worthless Aikido is against a resisting opponent.
Well its something that has been known & practised in Tomiki aikido since the later 1950's and early 60's, but the Aikikai wanted nothing to do with it!! Its not aikido!! LMAO!! THAT is why Aikikai aikido is useless in the octagon or MMA... No mystery there....So Spot on Robert!! It's a shame that the rest of the people who contend within the movement don't do this type of performance and end up doing bad judo!!.... I practised Tomiki's aikido for 18 years before moving on as I thought the tanto randori shiai was a joke!! Sport or no sport, whoever thought up this tanto randori business has never faced someone with a real knife!! The randori kyogi or toshu randori, on the other hand, is far more realistic as is similar to boxing in footwork except of course there are no punches.... What I did was to incorporate punching and kicking into toshu randori with the players wearing some body and head protection to get an even more realistic approach... But that was just me... I found that given that approach it made ones "aikido" far more realistic!!

REPLY
I am impressed by how exemplary and cleanly these guys move, attack and avoid attacks. Their footwork is brilliant. All their moves are really optimized, and they know exactly when to give in for the other to initiate an attack and when to disengage. The step in + chin lift in "contra tempo" is brilliant. The sideways shoulder pull on an stepping opponent is brilliant. The armlock and rolling is brilliant. And all attacks are perfectly timed. Really really very impressive and clean.
i agree with this except to say they cross their legs from time to time
@@mp89701nI noticed that as well. A decent Judoka would grab, flip and fly them on a few occasions I do believe. I do not mean that disrespectfully.
Бред, как дворовые ребята, ничего не срабатывает, 1 прием прошел. Вышел бы нормальный борец, оба бы лежали
That is actually some pretty good aikido
Yeah!! And I practised this form of training and competition shiai from about 1978 right up until 1990, when I retired from doing competition... I still practised at club level right up until my mid 50's, but It was getting a bit too much for the back and joints, so just taught it instead.... Great fun though and it IS very effective in learning it from a self-defence POV... Its easy to adapt to all sorts of attack including punching & kicking!!
That throw at 1:11 was beautiful!! Way to go to show that those are capable under more realistic situations.
How random that I came across you here. This shit is fake bro hahaha.
@@MrAlepedroza it's fake because it's fake. Its too slow and the landing is too clean. That throw or ones similar are used all over... they just dont look that clean.
@@hard2hurt The throw is not that slow, come on. Not even throws in the Olympics are lightning fast. Sometimes guys get the breakfall perfectly, though the chances are low, it still can happen. Low percentage move taking place =/= fake. You're proving nothing there.
@@MrAlepedroza man this is a work, like a pro wrestling match. The stumbling after the redirects is all them just selling. The first two falls the guy takes are him selling the move for the other guy, the first one is especially egregious. The last throw was so slow and the selling/break fall was demo/movie stunt level fake. In real life, people try to put their feet back under them and none of these throws had enough pepper on them to actually cause these clean, flat falls. If you watch the real matches on this very channel you can see the difference. This is a work.
@@hard2hurt i have been very skeptical of aikido and was willing to give this one the benefit of the doubt but you make a very good point.
This is very interesting to me.
I think what helps is to think about combat as a management of ranges. aikijido, to me, seems to fit just in between the striking range and the clinch range.
I am very happy to see what appears to be a legit demonstration and not the nonsense we see all over the internet.
Assume this fight in #OG movie 🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵
i would love to see aikido really develop into an effective style, im not sure how different it would be from judo if it did. im happy to see there are people who are attempting to develop aikido that doesnt require compliance. best wishes to them
Dan Theodore, Shuji Maruyama, myself, a few others
Dan Theodore has been able to apply Aikido techniques against MMA fighters (so have I, to a lesser extent) Shuji Maruyama is, to my knowledge, the only one developing Aikido in the same manner and basic direction as O Sensei did -- and still is pushing it into new territory.
I've begun to divide the curriculum into "gi" and "no gi" aikido myself, but, I prefer to keep the art truer to what O Sensei intended... folks like Dan Theodore can continue to develop its MMA applicability -- for me, that's good but somewhat missing the point. Past using Aikido in BJJ (nikkyo is easy to get from guard) I prefer not to turn a nonviolent self defense art into a fighting art -- I prefer to focus on the scalability that makes the art unique against arts like Judo.
It is already
@@edtheangler4930it mostly isn't. Schools that practice live randori are the exception, and the ones that encourage competition are even rarer. In no small part because Aikido as a whole is already a niche art, and finding people amongst that small.sample size that practice it that way just make a competitive scene largely unviable.
@@asteriskcolon It is not just Aikido. As a Wing Chun practitioner, I have been doing exactly the same. That is, to try to improve and reinvent my footwork so that I can apply the real Wing Chun without using the boxing stance and boxing footwork which will destroy the hand forms of Wing Chun. Whether it is Aikido or Wing Chun, we have to deal with other fighting styles, not just our own style.
It did, judo and jiujitsu. You put an aikido black belt up against a judo or jiujitsu black belt the aikido guy will get destroyed every single time. The problem is that a real fighter knows footwork and how to punch while moving so fast that aikido cannot respond, the victim has to throw fully into the aikido practitioner so he can be misdirected. You want to see an aikido blackbelt get knocked out quick just watch them full contact spar a muay thai fighter or jiujitsu fighter, not even black belts, just 1-2 years of training. It is good to redirect to avoid contact and not get injured for a few seconds in a bar though.
Finally, a style of Aikido I'd love to learn. Bet there are no schools in Tennessee, though.
Yes! Aikido isn't about lunging inward to attack, it's primary focus is how to avoid attacks at all costs. Basically the complete opposite of Traditional Karate forms.
Initially, avoiding bladed attacks at length so you can get into judo range.
Didnt know that Aikido sparring even existed, very Nice to see.
Nice to see some live Aikido grappling. I wish there was more of this on UA-cam.
Possibilities for those looking to enhance Aikido grappling:
1- Grapple without gi to reduce the temptation to grab it and reduce pauses in the match
2- Allow submissions and count them as a condition for instant victory vs points for throws
3- Allow body clinching so the fast moving parts (flailing arms) can be slowed so that joint locks can actually be applied
4- If an opponent goes to the ground trying to escape a joint lock, allow the attacker to attempt to finish the technique as long as they remain standing or kneeling (as in the Aikido kata)
I think Aikido could be developed into an effective martial art if more Aikidoka were open to the idea of live competition and modifying the rule set. Anyone who's been in an Aikido or similar joint lock knows that the techniques work, the question is just how to effectively get into a position where you can actually finish the move.
Unfortunately, I don't think grasping the air trying to snatch flailing limbs is a good way to do that. Intercepting the body and rushing into the clinch or other body hold first seems more plausible.
I didnt see a whole of grappling. No clinching, no grip/hand fighting, no pins or submission attempts, and no positional attacks/advancement. I saw two blokes dance about a bit and one get thrown once or twice.
This is a specific practice, it's barely free grappling, tomiki competition is designed to showcase that it's possible to use Wristlock throws on people when they give you momentum and over commit, problem is that most trained fighters won't make those mistakes and that's why we don't see it performed in the cage, still a cool and interesting practice
Shomen Ate at 26 seconds demonstrates perfect timing.
1:10... Amazing!
Chaos Omega Yes - it was beautiful, especially since it was done on a resisting opponent...yet, it was so smooth, it looked like Kata.
Like watching 2 5year olds fighting at lunch break😂
Og kosam vachina vallu okka like vesukondi
It does look like bad Judo, but being the only (or most notable) Aikido style that does competition and pressure testing, it's really great.
Nice footwork! Imagine mixing this with bjj.
bjj does not need mixing with such a bullshit)
If it worked, BJJ would already do it.
fixing Nice footwork! Imagine mixing this with Judo*
For something so cool it looks really goofy sometimes I love it
Aikido still sucks. I’d never trade the 10+ years in jiu jitsu, wrestling, and kickboxing / boxing for 10+ years in aikido.
I've aways admired the esthetic of aikido but felt it had limited value combatively. This is the first time I've ever seen what seems to be true sparring against a resisting opponent.
The technique at 1:10 was beautiful, textbook beautiful.
"This is the first time I've ever seen what seems to be true sparring against a resisting opponent. The technique at 1:10 was beautiful, textbook beautiful."
They're both "demoing" like unscripted pro wrestling. It's "competitive" with the footwork, but if one guy gets a move started, the other plays along and gives a big fall.
That looks like so much fun!
wow, that sankyo at 1:11 was really awesome, was it a sankyo or was another technique?
Yonkyonage, actually. It was really well done though, as a counter. There's a turn that looks like shihonage but it was a turn out towards the arm instead of to the center. Pause and go frame by frame at 1:11 and you can see the grip is yonkyo
This IS not a segal does. This looks legit!!!
Wish there were more videos of this, all the videos on the channel are in Russian so i dont even know which is which
Wow this was much better than other vids on youtube. Plus he actually used aikido and didnt turn it into judo showing application and useability in real situation :0
I thought it was going to turn into a judo match.I was veey surprised.Even though only 1 aikido throw was successful.
One thing great of aikido is that it isnt a competition sport but a budo.
Tomiki the founder of this competetive "aikido", did study with the founder of aikido, when it wasnt called aikido yet. It was called aiki bujutsu or something like that.
Tomiki chose the name aikido though for obvious reasons, lifting on the popularity of aikido.
Tomiki was asked to not use the name aikido, because (like it or not) aikido explicitly rejects competition. Unfortunately Tomiki disrespectex his teacher and just continued using aikido.
the founder of aikido, he was a student of daito ryu jujutsu. because he changed this great bujutsu,he also changed the nameinto aikido.
Tomiki should have done the same and chose his own name for his competetive budo creation.
I don't really like the tomiki knife competitions, because it just seems like they all get shanked, but this is really nice
+Frank Ware don't you mean tanto - dori by the way yes this is also in tomiki aikido
Something about it scares me like the whole goal is to protect your own arms from being twisted while twisting the other persons arms, all while sliding around on ice.
I love aikido, but I have to admit, it kind of looks goofy when they spar.
+Saul Parra Tomiki Aikido was developed as a defense against judo, so when you use it against another aikidoka, it does look a bit awkward.
It's awful
+Manchester Budo Club bull shit where did you get that idea from. It looks bad because it is bad . tomiki randori only makes sense without the tanto. The tanto is mostly ignored or slapped away . The techniques are wrestled on with little or no kuzushi. It is still and always has been an embarrassing part of the tomiki system.
+Ian Moody That Tomiki Aikido was developed as a defense against judo? I got it from Bob King Sensei of the TAA. It makes sense. Tomiki was a judoka first, so his understanding of Ueshiba's art was filtered through a judo understanding of kuzushi and tsukuri.
I agree with you that this randori stuff looks awful. You should see the Russians when they are REALLY going at, and there is very little elegance to it. It is like bulls in a china shop. But I disagree that Tomiki Randori only makes sense without the tanto. The 17 was specifically developed for tanto randori. The stuff that does not work safely in competition is in the Goshin kata (Koryu Dai Ichi through Dai Roku). Again, that is from Bob King Sensei.
+Manchester Budo Club I have seen them I have competed myself nothing to grand area wins and nationals for open kata and ninindori. I have competed at the world championships in leeds . open kata did quite well. Just outside the medals. does not change the fact tanto randori is a awful spectacle. no aikido very little judo . just bad wrestling. don't get me wrong I have seen some good stuff in tanto randori . back in the day guys like bill taniki and Ali dervish. but even that was not real aikido. as I said I hold a third Dan in tomiki. I credit it with a lot but the best thing I ever did was leave . I teach self defense now . elbows headbutts knees kicks. All inside an effective aikido syllabus. tomiki aikido used to be great. randori sacrifice throws. now it pains me to see everyone faking. pre set attacks pre arranged responses. just embarrassing. The final straw. when I realised I could walk up and punch any of the grading panel in the face and they did not have the ability to deal with it. I realised tomiki was a stylised joke. my instructor has left and is now a high ranking yoshinkan instructor. everyone I respected has moved on. take my advice don't waste your time . Take the skills and apply them to real attacks . and real scenarios. or you'll end up a master of nothing just look at the top flight in tomiki. laughable.
It shows it works, especially some hand strikes could be used
Вообще все подобные единоборства на мой взгляд надо изучать после какого нибудь из стандартных смешанных стилей mma, kudo, боевое самбо, армейский рукопашный без разницы.
Работа ног у них мне понравилась. Какие нибудь болячки и потом из другого подобного что нибудь взять и всё что можно стараться адаптировать. К своей технике не забывать её тренировать.
Thank you for the video!
Indeed, this is just how Aikido looks if it´s applied as a competition sport. (with rules) ;)
Rhetoric: How would the Aikidoka survive against an MMA guy? Answer: How would the MMA guy survive a guy with a gun or knife or or or.
Это здорово
This referee has the hardest job. :)
1:10 looks like ippon in Judo but with a spacing difference.
Who is here #TheyCallHimOG
What are the basic competition rules? How compatible are the with Judo or other wrestling styles?
Cool stuff. The rule set is so odd, without punching or kicking, it's just so... off... somehow... Aikido works much better if you have gloves and shin pads and go full contact.
They just run around. One hit by Mike Tyson and they are running on the other side of life
What happened to that adagio "the first to strike has already lost" or smthg?
They do not use high guard to safe the face, they should think of a street situation
Cool first time I have seen it used in real speed
1:10 i like this move
How do you have aikido tournaments when neither is supposed to be the aggressor? 🤔
That was great! Please add more.
a high school wrestler or bjj white belt would
wipe the mat with these guys. if you put your
feet that close together you are asking
for it.
i think a judoka would just come in and establish his grips and then toss the aikido guys like ragdolls...
Nice ballet. What are the names of these beautiful ballerins?
@0:26 why does the guy decide to launch himself backwards like that?
Throwing technique similar to judos sumi otoshi.
i guess he was caught in the push of his opponent while having both feet not grounded enough and not enough momentum. basically caught in mid air.
He was charging forward and ran into a long arm guard under his jaw. Basically the momentum of his body kept going after his head was stopped abruptly which threw him off balance. Stiff-arms happen all the time in American football which is really the same principle; the body goes where the head goes. Head control is very effective in martial arts, take the Thai clinch for example.
He got caught with a Shomen-ate, which is actually a striking technique (punch to the head), modified to be a throw (push the head to break the opponent's balance). He "launched" himself backward like that because his opponent timed the technique just right. You can a couple of instances where this particular technique was tried, but didn't have any effect.
Because he got hit with a perfectly timed technique.
That last sankyu was awesome. I’m having a hard time discerning the first two throws; can someone please explain them to me?
Не могу понять. У любого оператора на мероприятиях такого рода - дело принципа - занимать позицию за спиной рефери?
1st time i've ever seen a proper sparring match with 2 aikidoka.
Where were all the fancy throws you see in the demonstrations?
1 guy did use a pretty c ool throw but you see,it isn't as easy as the demonstrations make it out to be when you have a resisting opponent is it?
Thats like seeing one judo randori and asking where all the fancy throws from the judo kata are
But at least judo competition does have legit throws in them,because they work.
Wjmhat did you see here?Just 2 guys in pajamas dancing around doing nothing.
I take back my original post.Tbese guys didn't do anything.
Because aikido is bullshido.
This is great to watch, attempting application against a "live" opponent instead of set movements. If anything, Aikido could become like Judo, a respected art and sport that has its own rules and competitions. Not everything needs to be MMA. Seems like these guys are trying to catch the timing of movement and use that to throw the other off balance, or better yet, get them in some kind of aikido technique.
Toshu randori... is this one version of sparring out of many for Shodokan? Does anyone know?
Asking mostly out of interest of developing a new style of Aikido sparring... but the better I understand Shodokan the less I will step on its toes.
OG
Like it or not, Aikido has to adapt to the needs of real combat situation. And this is a good start.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just because the nature of aikido is pure defense, wouldn't it make more sense for an aikido tournament to be about how well an aikidoka can hold up against NON-aikidokas (ie, other martial artists, fighters, and so forth)?
+Nth Bar-Fields not many places do this because o sensei frowned upon competition so almost all of the aikido dojos you will see never practice against different styles and tomiki aikido is the only style of aikido that actively promotes competition.
+Dominik Doherty aikidokas themselves can introduce outside techniques and develop their art that way
Fortuna Vendetta they can thats true
yes
+Nth Bar-Fields No, Aikido is not a pure defense art, there is also attacks technics by hand(s) or with arms (bokken,...)
Tournement is a common description of practicing art against another one to juge how far we are, in aikido we do tournement all the time.
Last point is that Aikido is not to how well you are against some else but how well you are against yourself, if you know better yourself, anyone else could be handle very easly.
Did you notice in all Aikido video that more aikidokas is old more he is fast and strong, we can't say that to other arts...
Peace brother
Seems useful against someone trying to grab you or your handbag. Would like to see how it deals with strikers and wrestlers though.
Ближе к реальному бою, очень похоже:)
..."Петр Пугачев"...
This is Tomiki Aikdo, really not comparable to the other styles
They have the same techniques (more or less) as other Aikido styles although theirs tend to be more direct and linear.
It may look sloppy but that's because they're doing their techniques against someone who knows what the other person is trying to do, and knows all the counters, etc.
Yes, and it isn't the best style of Aikido, either. Better than Aikikai (because with the exception of rare, HQ Aikikai instructors -- they do exist -- Aikikai is pretty low quality, and sadly, the most ubiquitous style of Aikido).
Great match.
This is very cool
Aikido is much more effective in slow motion
This changes my mind about aikido a little bit
TOSHU MEANS PULL AND PUSH IM A RIGHT???
what are the rules to this competition?
Thanks for this.
Hym of the Shuffling Aikidoka
This was very interesting to see
I thought there is no fight in Aikido.
Beautiful gyakugamaeate (or ushiroate?) - perfect timing, coming out of a gedanate escape.
Robert Mayer ...at 00:40.
OK, more like a one-handed ushiroate. Nice. He saw/felt the weak line and took it immediately.
is thes judo ruleset?
Judo is better
Looks like it could work more in a self defense setting
Doesn't look like much of an offensive sport ,more of a counter
At least this is practical compared to others. There many Aikido masters that be teaching BS stuff.
they are pretending, this is not a fight, this "martial art" is the Japanese equivalent to WWE
Суетливая беготня друг за дружкой напоминает детмккю игру в пятнашки.
The only thing i see is: miau miau miaaau niau miau
I'm a Judoka. I can say they move their feet too much. In a fight moving too much make you weak to leg attack. I would already throw them to the grown.
It's like a soft version of judo
Yeah, it was an old judoka who invented Aikido for old people who wanted to keep practicing Judo but didn't want to keep destroying themselves...
Judo is really hard on the body... I guess you wouldn't want to keep that rythm into your 50s...
@@justoalvarez3940 this isn't remotely true. Aikido was not invented by a judoka (or at least he had quite little judo experience) and was not invented for old people. Tomiki, who created this type of randori, was a judoka, but he did not create aikido.
Looks like 1 side step hook would end all the movement.. the art of not hitting in a fight smh.. Old Stevie Siegal showed how ridiculous this art is.. especially vs a real trained fighter ..
Aikido would be usless against a wrestler or boxer. It was origianlly used to fight against swordsmen
The Walking Dead brought me here!
this looking nice
Who d win?
wow this is cool
A Showfight.
This seems more Judo ish then other Akido I’ve seen.
that would be cool if they were allowed some of their striking techniques as well
They actually are using striking techniques - the first three techniques that landed are "atemi" or striking techniques that have been modified to be throws. There were two Shomen-ate's (basically a straight attack down the centerline) and the ushiro-ate (a strike to the back of the neck, modified to be a back pulldown for sparring). The first five techniques allowed in sparring and competition are strikes that have been modified to be throws.
