Great video! I really like that you emphasize adaptability when the execution doesn't go as originally intended. Didn't even know that Aikido had hip throws, either. I love your practical take on Aikido.
Great instruction as usual, thanks Lenny. I really take that on board about continuing after a mistake as I tend to stop sometimes, which is basically nuts - in a real life situation that would obviously not be too clever...keep em coming!
Thank you Lenny :) Best Aikido on UA-cam. P.S. I continue to find parallels between your style and the style of my new instructor (after 14 years of classic Aikido). Probably has something to do with him having attended Steven Seagal seminars, and having experience with Judo. Leg sweeps and standing pins are among those similarities, as well as a strong focus on honest, strong attacks.
As always an informative, straight forward common-sense demonstration and explanation of the technique. Why I enjoy your videos so much. Maybe next time can we see how using hand deflections as well. Thank you Sly Sensei, keep them coming!
this is a technique that really works on the street. the throw is what we in judo call koshi guruma. I used it once against a guy on the street who came at me with a haymaker. I fell with him, but controlled the fall so that I landed hard on top of him. it knocked the wind out of him and he was done for the day.
Lenny, your outstanding way of explaining the aikido movements are so well detailed that they remain in ones mind to never forget ...Congratulations!!!
Great video. I like your videos more and more as you seem to step back to your roots more often now. Your practicality is great. At the end of my classes my sensei always asks if I have questions and I request to try some of the techniques you bring up and it is always refreshing to try out real style stuff and work outside of the box. Thanks
Lenny great video in the same vain upon uke throwing the hook punch nage entering in and throwing a strong blind straight punch to uke face with full force with strong irimi really works well. Ps . I love tour teaching style and spirit. I'm an ex NYPD Officer who has used Aikido on patrol on a couple of occasions and atemi served me well.
Great video Mr. Sly. The technique was great, but my favorite part of the lesson was the keep going tip. I have preached that to anybody that would listen. If you stop mid technique for any reason, then start over, that builds very bad habits for real combat. I really enjoy what you do sir. Been waiting a long time on You Tube.
hello sensei, because I train aikikai but since the past got lots of interest of sensei seagal's style specially since I have started to see your clips, I would be very glad if you can make a clip or write an article regarding the whole kind of attacks and their name specially those which you use and aikikai doesn't use, for example : yubi dori etc. thanks in advance
hi Lenny again very nicely done on helping us out with these awesome aikido techniecks I really do appreciate you broths!!! ty again and plz keep them coming I have all of ur videos saved and I keep watching them all the time ur a great man and friend ur friend Jack
good stuff brother. keep up the hard work with all your videos! I take alot of your concepts into my own Aikido studies. I do recognize that sweep type throw which I see as more of a "tripping" movement since your posting your leg out and the opponent falls over it rather then reaping or scooping the leg like is taught in schools of Traditional Jujutsu and Judo ex: (Osoto Gari). I wish all Aikido schools had the same Outlook on physical conflict resolution that Tenshin Dojo does I've attended seminars with Miyako Fugitani (7th Dan) and Kentaro Seagal (4th Dan) teaching and it was always a great experience. I'm part of ASU now but before studied under what was formerly a Dojin Aikikai associated dojo under Sensei Jim Wood of Riverside himself a student under Shihan Ron Grainville whom was a direct student of Suenaka Shihan. ASU is a very different experience and its core curriculum is very traditional only in Yudansha ranks and seminars do they deep dive a bit more in realistic street applications of Aikido something that I do not agree with coming from my first dojo that although is traditional still very much teaches the harder old style taijitsu techniques you never see in ASU until you reach higher ranks. I feel this is a serious mistake and a short coming of the organization so I teach it when given the OK by the head instructor as much as possible. I wish I was in Chicago I'd love to train with you brother.
another great instructional video. when are you coming back to VA Beach? I'd like to meet you and attend your seminar. thanks for being a great instructor.
Another great video, thank you Sensei Sly. I've been incorporating many of these aikido techniques into the application of my Shotokan katas. Or should I say cross referencing for validation. Though Shotokan is mainly known as a striking discipline the katas show many maneuvers that hint to their creators intent on dealing with grappling type defense and counter. This video points to moves 9-10 from Heian Shodan & your iriminage vid, with hand deflections resembles moves 25-27 from bassai dai. I like the real world presentations you give in your videos. Clear away all the fuss and bullshit people insert into martial arts and hopefully they remember why they walked into the dojo in the first place. To learn & train with experts like yourself for self defense and self preservation. Thanks.
Could you show this with uke having the other hand up as guard during hook punch. I want to see if u could wrap around his neck with his guard hand in the way, or would it slip off. I wasn't sure if he kept down so he could wrap around your back for ukemi purpose. Thanks for these vids!
Thank you, Sensei Penny. Excellent video clip via the hook punch. As mentioned the way you explAin the applications s in your clipS. Hope to meet you in the future.
I like your videos as they show a practical approach of aikido, even though it might seem more aggressive, but that how life is. One question pops out, however: have you ever had a reality check against, say, a boxer, and if so would you care filming such a test - it would be interesting to see how it goes..
Love the video brother keep the videos coming. If you make a mistake keep it flowing so true. By the way I spoke to James Berkley Sensi he said he doesn’t know you personally but he definitely knows of you. He said through Larry Reynosa Sensi. He thinks he might have trained with you at one point or another.
First time I bring myself to comment, and first of all thank you very much for sharing with us such the practical, real life application of Aikido. Having said this, I've heard a lot a statement that I don't see as true: "yokomen uchi strikes aren't real life practical" or words to that effect. As I see it, the real life equivalent of a yokomen uchi strike I think it is someone trying to smash a bottle on another's head, be it on a top to bottom swing motion or in the same angle as a yokomen uchi strike. Would this be a fair statement, the way I'm seeing it? Looking forward to learn more 👍🏼😀
Good stuff. I've seen Sensei S. Seagal uses uke nagashi against hook punch on a head. Could you please make video on that variant, if you think it's reasonable? Thank you!
Si, si me gustó el video y la explicación está muy práctica, en el video: Ultimate Aikido hook punch defense, también se muestra, aquí es mejor la explicación. Thanks for the explanation and thanks for these videos, Hi from Mexico City
Koshi Guruma is a Judo Throw, but is really close to what you are explaining for your hip throw. Which would work better for your demonstration and still allow you to control the arm and then allow you to pin and control using your techniques. Not to mention the foot work for that specific hip throw is much more balanced in this case. Just a thought. The Tai-Otoshi variation you moved into toward the end is really effective. It is what we train here in our home dojo. I love how these two arts are so closely related in many areas. Keep the videos coming... they are always awesome!
It's funny how you mentioned that the two Arts are closely related and that is because originally Aikido, Judo, and Jiu-Jitsu used to be all one art. It was called jiu-jitsu. Then jigro Leno and morishi uashiba ( I know misspelt their names) created Judo and Aikido from jiu jitsu back after 1882.
I truly enjoy your approach! What about a mixed-type punch, almost like an ascending back-handed jab, with the leading hand. It is meant to surprise you and often used in street fighting, as the opening salvo.
The important things to mention, that weren't, are, A, you need time to enter n get the throw i.e.this won't work without seeing it early. A late defence can maybe koshinage but he will come to you. B, atemi, a strike to the side or back of his neck is best as you hook his head. C, his nonpunching arm best be deflected as you enter or your entry can be blocked, your head attacked on entry or your body or clothes grabbed and ripped as he is thrown. The level of force needed dictates whether you prevent or cause his head to be spiked into the concrete. A nasty variation is to stamp on a foot as you throw to break his leg. Have fun.
Hello my name Tyler I love watching warriors rouge I want learn how to throw this my favorite video all videos this guy really is Tru master more videos
the techniques one sees are like a bridge...connecting one island to another...but in these techniques you DON't see what one does before or after the arrival on the island...and that is WHERE ONE IS INVINCIBLE! or...Every movement you see has a counterpart you don't see....a yang element has its yin waiting....and vice versa....
Great video, sensei. The entry looks a bit like tenshi nage - would this also work? Against a hook punch, is a shiho nage a realistic defence? Thank you for your videos!
The problem with the techniques you showed is, that they all take much longer than a hook. You might counter a haymaker with that but not a hook. Also if your opponent doesn't drop his guard he can just shove you away.
Hi Mr. Lenny. I have been following you for a while and can relate a lot with what you show. But one thing... Like you I was told the hakama was to hide the feet. This was told so many times that it became to be believed as truth but I recently came accross an article that debunked this completely. The article is in French with some pictures and drawings and historical references and I will try to send it to you. Basically the only time the hakama had to be worn long was in the presence of say a high ranking person because wearing it long actually impedes movements so making it harder to assassinate the high ranking VIP. Otherwise it was worn inside the boots or somehow tied up to make it easier to move around. Let me try to send this to you...
Awesome as always! If you have any doubt as to whether your videos are helping folks, don't. I know is having an impact on my Aikido training. I subscribed to channel. Hey, speaking of hooks, I see a resurgence of interest in boxing. A lot of people do it for fitness because it's a great way to loose weight and get in shape I guess. My question is: how would you deal with this situation with someone trained in boxing? They know how to punch, they keep their distance, they throw a lot of quick jabs. I've seen a lot of comments on UA-cam saying a western boxing guy would destroy an Aikido guy. I am not so sure but would like to know your opinion on this.
To be brutally honest. Someone that’s trained in boxing would completely destroy an aikido, if that’s all the guy knew and trained in was JUST aikido. Most mainstream aikido people just train aikido and nothing else. Now if the aikido guy has street fighting experience or has trained in let’s say Karate, Tae Kwon do and was pretty successful in those. Then the aikido would probably be able to hold his own so to speak. Although very few aikido people today have a background in other arts.
Boxing works in the ring. If they are really keeping their distance and jabbing. Then you do the same and walk away. Most street fights are adrenaline fueled and emotional. Boxing techniques go out the window. Just my two cents.
The sweep as you called it, is tai otoshi. One of the staple moves in Judo. An effective maneuver to get the opponent to the ground. Without the sweep it looks like the Judo technique for O-goshi, and a more twisting version looks like Uki-goshi. It is surprising to see a tai otoshi in Aikido!
Any thoughts on why BJJ guys diss Aikido? These techniques seem very useful. I'd imagine that they could incorporate these techniques in order to expand their tools.
It's not the momentum that is needed to perform Aikido. Momentum just makes it worse for the attacker. It's a committed attack. The shifting of body weight is more than enough to perform Aikido. You just never see it in most schools because they either don't know, or don't understand it. There are those that are so aware of body mechanics and sensitive that even the thought of making an attack is communicated to the Aikidoka.
what you would see is two persons ..using what they can to survive.... now you will also see experience or lack of it in both martial arts...it all adds up...technique+years of learning+years of martial art applications+weight+speed+determination+ego+unpredicted factor x/time and all this changes every time... We all try to build the warrior within...and kill all negative attitudes that pests us all... Some people become humble....other become criminals.... What is a prostitute? Any person who does something for power....through MONEY e.g. accumulation... BY ANY MEANS... wish you all good. night from Greece.
adam wilcox think outside the box.... this is tenshin aikido it's not designed to enter an mma fight that's Not what o sensei that founder of aiki or even shodokan tomiki - yoshinkan aikido it was for battlefield warfare it's techniques are from aiki jujitsu - jujitsu there are no rules on the street it's just yourself no tap out No referee NO standing counts that's what is in UFC - MMA - K1 you don't wear gloves & a gum shield it's a whole lot different on the street ?
What about defending against uppercuts? Hook punches are still pretty wide, open, with the arm extended and liable to be captured. Uppercuts most closely imitate the stable, triangular kokyuu-hou movement/posture, so it seems they would be the most troublesome to deal with. It's basically like someone attacking you with kokyuu-hou, which is one of aikido's own weapons.
Great man I have been asking this also ( haymaker) ... but my sensei’s also go to Koshi nage ... and indeed never stop . But ura i’ve been told is better ... anyway its your feeling ... i like this video ,, not bullshit . Aikido must be A secret in my opinion Assholes that are trying to defend’ aikido in a ring or park on UA-cam didn’t understand .... ✌🏼
With all respect, I love your videos, This is not a ""Hook"" this is just a swing , a real Boxers hook is thrown from very short range , Hes going to step in very close to the inside or outside and throw, a lot of times, out side the vision of his opponent. Arm bent at 90 degrees , by the time he see's it, its half way there , and there is almost nothing you can do except slip or duck .
Lenny, love all your videos and training; you've very impressive. But I've noticed you've been putting out a lot of videos for free on UA-cam. I'm currently paying for the online courses. You haven't put anything up since Jan 24 but it seems you're uploading here almost daily. So can you tell me why I should keep paying you when I can just watch your training for free? What's the deal? And if I'm thinking it, how many others are as well? Again you're a really great teacher and I love your stuff. Thank you.
tiburonsam1 The video's for online classes are done once a month and the video's that have been uploaded on UA-cam have been requested by UA-camrs and people that have privately messaged me. Also I've uploaded a few online class videos to promote the online class training. The new UA-cam vids are not on the online class platforms either. I understand your concern but I have to cater to both online class members as well as UA-cam people. I hope you can see why I have to do this. Also I've been posting a lot on UA-cam lately because I'm trying to build the channel and from my previous experience you don't do that by uploading 1 video a week.
I understand. Thank you for the quick response. If I might make a small suggesting, perhaps the content that is in response to people's requests can also go up on the pay site. That way people aren't hopping back and forth between the pay site and UA-cam and they feel they are getting the full experience and you'll get more paying customers. Exclusivity sells more than freebies. People take advantage of freebies because no one does more work than necessary or pay for what they can get for free. No one gives away Lamborghini's and from what I've seen, that's what you are for aikido, the Lamborghini of Aikido! It's just my opinion. I think you have a terrific opportunity to transform Aikido, but to do that you'll need more paying viewers. I WANT TO SEE YOU SUCCEED AND EXPAND! Thanks Sensei!
Good vids. never did Miyamoto Tsuruzo Shihan's class at Hombu Dojo eh? Arikawa shihan. Saw leg sweeps decades ago. Aikikai is a big tent - all kind of things going on in it.
Hooks come in a closer distance...and co e from a boxing step posture.... Nevertheless we think you for the free lesson. May one day boxers and mma volunteer to show to the real long centuries preserved fight arts...their techniques and how they can be confronted.... Nowadays each sticks to his martiAl art family and have no others around...boxers..to boxers etc.
Aikido is awesome, problem is the training methods are too static. Theres not enough free play like there are with two boxers in a ring. With free play Aikido becomes small circle grappling with 85% of traditional technique ineffective. Short punches and low kicks included in the mix that are still taught in Aikido but are not often mastered by Aikidoists.
If the purpose of the hakama is to conceal the legwork, it doesn't make sense for the instructor to wear a hakama, because the students can't see the footwork.
Great comment and from a technical stand point I agree. But the aikido world loves to complicate things and this is one of them. Just like when I was coming up in the beginning. Whenever someone would make a mistake. Sensei would come over if he noticed. He’d then demonstrate the technique using YOU as the uke. I was always against teaching that way. It does not help the student learn. And of course it’s about feeling the technique. Fuck that, that’s a stupid way to teach others. It’s smarter for the sensei to use the other guy to show the student making the mistake what they’re doing wrong. Aikido loves to play the mystical bullshit. Then they wonder why the art gets bashed.
sempai with all due respect the yokomenuchi used is wrongly done ,yokomeuchi 's rotation comes from the body movement not the arm and /or hand movement , great video ,ossu
LOVE your videos-- but I have to turn the SOUND OFF til that "so called" music is done... :) (no offense- but it's just CRAP to me.. my opinion only!!! ). GREAT videos though.
No way this is happening against a wild powerful haymaker hook or a tight hook. Forget it. You might jam it or slip it but you are not doing this in one motion. I like this guy and i admire his work on making aikido more functional but this isn't happening plain and simple.
Well, should change the title to "Haymaker or sloppy straight punch defense". I don't think this would be easy to pull off against an actual hook. Better off to duck, slip or block and counter. "Aikido that works...only after you turn it into Judo or Jiu Jitsu, with striking".
This is not a hook punch. It’s a wild goose haymaker. Any dog can defend against it. Pls don’t try this defence against someone who really knows how to throw a hook, else you might loose your teeth
A teacher teaches. There has to be explanation for why he does it the way he does it. Otherwise he would be just another guy teaching hook punch defense. Each system is unique. It was very rude to say what you did. Maybe Mr. Sly should do a video on honor and respect.
How was what you claim is stealing lol. Seriously dude, this throw is not exclusive to judo. Wake up John, martial arts is martial arts. Take what works and discard what doesn’t.
Finally, an aikidoka who knows how to communicate with the mainstream youtube/mma American audience.
My number one teacher I think you are cursing me thank you for all you don't I really feel at peace with a keto. 💯%👍
Great video! I really like that you emphasize adaptability when the execution doesn't go as originally intended. Didn't even know that Aikido had hip throws, either. I love your practical take on Aikido.
Great instruction as usual, thanks Lenny. I really take that on board about continuing after a mistake as I tend to stop sometimes, which is basically nuts - in a real life situation that would obviously not be too clever...keep em coming!

Probably has something to do with him having attended Steven Seagal seminars, and having experience with Judo. Leg sweeps and standing pins are among those similarities, as well as a strong focus on honest, strong attacks.
lol my background was Judo then Aikido. I used to get in trouble all the time from my Aikido sensi for sweeping legs lol. Good work! many thumbs up!!
Whatever works is what should be used. Good for you for adapting to the situation.
As always an informative, straight forward common-sense demonstration and explanation of the technique. Why I enjoy your videos so much. Maybe next time can we see how using hand deflections as well. Thank you Sly Sensei, keep them coming!

Absolutely 🤗 Correct 👍
Koshi Garuma AKA Kubi Nage !
Well done ✅
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, NEVER STOP POSTING, I LOVE AIKIDO!!!!!!!!!!!
Lenny, your outstanding way of explaining the aikido movements are so well detailed that they remain in ones mind to never forget ...Congratulations!!!
Love the way you explain the technique. Outstanding.
This this really good stuff, and very well explained. Will be trying this in the dojo with the boys this weekend.
Many thanks again.

hi Lenny again very nicely done on helping us out with these awesome aikido techniecks I really do appreciate you broths!!! ty again and plz keep them coming I have all of ur videos saved and I keep watching them all the time ur a great man and friend ur friend Jack
Great technique as always and domo arigato for the hakama history and reasoning behind it. AOVB

The leg sweep is very similar to Judo Tai-Otoshi. Very good.
Lenny ,yes ..look at Koshi Garuma/ Kubinage from Judo . ..This is a perfect set up that will work perfectly in conjunction with the two styles.
another great instructional video. when are you coming back to VA Beach? I'd like to meet you and attend your seminar. thanks for being a great instructor.

exerhlp oh the what if’s are everywhere
thanks a bunch Sly.. excellent lessons...thank you again..
iriminage off the hook punch is still my favourite game ender 😊
I liked that tip about rotating the arm down to your center to take their balance instead of just pushing the arm down. See you at AOVB.
Ill agree on the leg sweep I got told to not do it that it wasnt necessary with Aikido
Love the video brother keep the videos coming. If you make a mistake keep it flowing so true. By the way I spoke to James Berkley Sensi he said he doesn’t know you personally but he definitely knows of you. He said through Larry Reynosa Sensi. He thinks he might have trained with you at one point or another.
Berkley Sensi and Larry Reynosa use to train all the time when Jimmy lived in California .
My name is Luis Torres.
Nice to meet you Luis. I don't think I've ever trained with Berkley sensei. Although that's awesome that he knows of me.
First time I bring myself to comment, and first of all thank you very much for sharing with us such the practical, real life application of Aikido.

Good morning sen- sei Rogue thank you for this technique. My name' s Bruno, I am a sick of aïkido I ' m come from To Haïti
Si, si me gustó el video y la explicación está muy práctica, en el video: Ultimate Aikido hook punch defense, también se muestra, aquí es mejor la explicación. Thanks for the explanation and thanks for these videos, Hi from Mexico City
Thank you Sensei! Very good demo.
Thank you! That's a cool experience. Will practice this and have subscribed
Lenny. I suggest you to show your footworks too in the upcoming videos, as these techiniques are really difficult to practise.
Thanks for the great lesson lenny keep up the great work

great moves
More techniques sir,I want to learn aikido on UA-cam because I have no money to enroll... thanks
The sweep I know as tai otoshi (body drop) from judo. Hari goshi is my favorite where your right leg leaves the ground and sweeps.
I truly enjoy your approach!
What about a mixed-type punch, almost like an ascending back-handed jab, with the leading hand. It is meant to surprise you and often used in street fighting, as the opening salvo.
heres what i rarely seen in aikido video or lesson in class. whats the correct way to do a flip breakfall?
The important things to mention, that weren't, are, A, you need time to enter n get the throw i.e.this won't work without seeing it early. A late defence can maybe koshinage but he will come to you. B, atemi, a strike to the side or back of his neck is best as you hook his head. C, his nonpunching arm best be deflected as you enter or your entry can be blocked, your head attacked on entry or your body or clothes grabbed and ripped as he is thrown. The level of force needed dictates whether you prevent or cause his head to be spiked into the concrete. A nasty variation is to stamp on a foot as you throw to break his leg. Have fun.
Hello my name Tyler I love watching warriors rouge I want learn how to throw this my favorite video all videos this guy really is Tru master more videos
Great work!
Respect sensei. Greeting from indonesia. Koshinage, execute with tenbin, is xtra ordinary. Great sensei. Oneshimasu
the techniques one sees are like a bridge...connecting one island to another...but in these techniques you DON't see what one does before or after the arrival on the island...and that is WHERE ONE IS INVINCIBLE!
or...Every movement you see has a counterpart you don't see....a yang element has its yin waiting....and vice versa....
Bravo Lenny.
You are big
Great video, sensei. The entry looks a bit like tenshi nage - would this also work? Against a hook punch, is a shiho nage a realistic defence? Thank you for your videos!
The problem with the techniques you showed is, that they all take much longer than a hook. You might counter a haymaker with that but not a hook.
Also if your opponent doesn't drop his guard he can just shove you away.
All fights are situational.
Whats the point?
Hi Mr. Lenny. I have been following you for a while and can relate a lot with what you show. But one thing... Like you I was told the hakama was to hide the feet.

Basically the only time the hakama had to be worn long was in the presence of say a high ranking person because wearing it long actually impedes movements so making it harder to assassinate the high ranking VIP. Otherwise it was worn inside the boots or somehow tied up to make it easier to move around. Let me try to send this to you...
Hi Mr. Lenny. I put the article on your Facebook in a private message.
That hook punch is........ uh .....interesting
Awesome as always! If you have any doubt as to whether your videos are helping folks, don't. I know is having an impact on my Aikido training. I subscribed to channel. Hey, speaking of hooks, I see a resurgence of interest in boxing. A lot of people do it for fitness because it's a great way to loose weight and get in shape I guess. My question is: how would you deal with this situation with someone trained in boxing? They know how to punch, they keep their distance, they throw a lot of quick jabs. I've seen a lot of comments on UA-cam saying a western boxing guy would destroy an Aikido guy. I am not so sure but would like to know your opinion on this.
To be brutally honest. Someone that’s trained in boxing would completely destroy an aikido, if that’s all the guy knew and trained in was JUST aikido. Most mainstream aikido people just train aikido and nothing else. Now if the aikido guy has street fighting experience or has trained in let’s say Karate, Tae Kwon do and was pretty successful in those. Then the aikido would probably be able to hold his own so to speak. Although very few aikido people today have a background in other arts.
Boxing works in the ring. If they are really keeping their distance and jabbing. Then you do the same and walk away. Most street fights are adrenaline fueled and emotional. Boxing techniques go out the window. Just my two cents.
Love your work
The sweep as you called it, is tai otoshi. One of the staple moves in Judo. An effective maneuver to get the opponent to the ground. Without the sweep it looks like the Judo technique for O-goshi, and a more twisting version looks like Uki-goshi.
It is surprising to see a tai otoshi in Aikido!
Any thoughts on why BJJ guys diss Aikido? These techniques seem very useful. I'd imagine that they could incorporate these techniques in order to expand their tools.
It's not the momentum that is needed to perform Aikido. Momentum just makes it worse for the attacker. It's a committed attack. The shifting of body weight is more than enough to perform Aikido. You just never see it in most schools because they either don't know, or don't understand it. There are those that are so aware of body mechanics and sensitive that even the thought of making an attack is communicated to the Aikidoka.
Fantastic...
Legit...!!! Thank you Sly Sensei!!!
I want to see aikido vs. mma in a no rules fight.
what you would see is two persons ..using what they can to survive....
now you will also see experience or lack of it in both martial arts...it all adds up...technique+years of learning+years of martial art applications+weight+speed+determination+ego+unpredicted factor x/time
and all this changes every time...
We all try to build the warrior within...and kill all negative attitudes that pests us all...
Some people become humble....other become criminals....
What is a prostitute?
Any person who does something for power....through MONEY e.g. accumulation... BY ANY MEANS...
wish you all good. night from Greece.
adam wilcox think outside the box.... this is tenshin aikido it's not designed to enter an mma fight that's Not what o sensei that founder of aiki or even shodokan tomiki - yoshinkan aikido it was for battlefield warfare it's techniques are from aiki jujitsu - jujitsu there are no rules on the street it's just yourself no tap out No referee NO standing counts that's what is in UFC - MMA - K1 you don't wear gloves & a gum shield it's a whole lot different on the street ?
What about defending against uppercuts? Hook punches are still pretty wide, open, with the arm extended and liable to be captured.
Uppercuts most closely imitate the stable, triangular kokyuu-hou movement/posture, so it seems they would be the most troublesome to deal with. It's basically like someone attacking you with kokyuu-hou, which is one of aikido's own weapons.
Great man
I have been asking this also ( haymaker) ... but my sensei’s also go to Koshi nage ... and indeed never stop . But ura i’ve been told is better ... anyway its your feeling ... i like this video ,, not bullshit . Aikido must be A secret in my opinion
Assholes that are trying to defend’ aikido in a ring or park on UA-cam didn’t understand ....
✌🏼
Trying to get my picture for UA-cam but it's saying over lay Bs idk
Very good master!
With all respect, I love your videos, This is not a ""Hook"" this is just a swing , a real Boxers hook is thrown from very short range , Hes going to step in very close to the inside or outside and throw, a lot of times, out side the vision of his opponent. Arm bent at 90 degrees , by the time he see's it, its half way there , and there is almost nothing you can do except slip or duck .
There are Two different types of hooks The tight hook that we use in peekaboo Style Boxing.
And a wide hook that Lenny is showing..
Your nitpicking.
Lenny, love all your videos and training; you've very impressive. But I've noticed you've been putting out a lot of videos for free on UA-cam. I'm currently paying for the online courses. You haven't put anything up since Jan 24 but it seems you're uploading here almost daily. So can you tell me why I should keep paying you when I can just watch your training for free? What's the deal? And if I'm thinking it, how many others are as well? Again you're a really great teacher and I love your stuff. Thank you.

The video's for online classes are done once a month and the video's that have been uploaded on UA-cam have been requested by UA-camrs and people that have privately messaged me. Also I've uploaded a few online class videos to promote the online class training. The new UA-cam vids are not on the online class platforms either. I understand your concern but I have to cater to both online class members as well as UA-cam people. I hope you can see why I have to do this. Also I've been posting a lot on UA-cam lately because I'm trying to build the channel and from my previous experience you don't do that by uploading 1 video a week.
I understand. Thank you for the quick response. If I might make a small suggesting, perhaps the content that is in response to people's requests can also go up on the pay site. That way people aren't hopping back and forth between the pay site and UA-cam and they feel they are getting the full experience and you'll get more paying customers. Exclusivity sells more than freebies. People take advantage of freebies because no one does more work than necessary or pay for what they can get for free. No one gives away Lamborghini's and from what I've seen, that's what you are for aikido, the Lamborghini of Aikido! It's just my opinion.
I think you have a terrific opportunity to transform Aikido, but to do that you'll need more paying viewers. I WANT TO SEE YOU SUCCEED AND EXPAND! Thanks Sensei!

hmmmm that's an idea thank you and thank you for understanding and most of all THANK YOU for your support!!!
Good vids. never did Miyamoto Tsuruzo Shihan's class at Hombu Dojo eh? Arikawa shihan. Saw leg sweeps decades ago. Aikikai is a big tent - all kind of things going on in it.
Sensei, Lenny , can I ask you a question?
acquiesce100
sure
acquiesce100 two questions?
aasou
ask away
top of the pops brilliant
Awesome!
This technique might also work against overhead knife attack.
Nice
Like the intro
I don't really like this judo throw. U have any other options of techniques that I can use?
ippon seionage, ogoshi, iriminage, osoto gari, uki otoshi are other possibilities.
tai otoshi as well.
Whay about if attacker hit your neck with the other hand or grab your forehead/eyes from behind?
Its too fast also his balance is broken.
Ialways thoughf the throws were extensions of the submissions
I'm gonna get my boy to practice this. Or my gf lol
Hooks come in a closer distance...and co e from a boxing step posture....
Nevertheless we think you for the free lesson.
May one day boxers and mma volunteer to show to the real long centuries preserved fight arts...their techniques and how they can be confronted....
Nowadays each sticks to his martiAl art family and have no others around...boxers..to boxers etc.
Я ваще не знаю английского языка и мне всё понятно , так прикольно подает методики . Добро должно быть с кулаками ...
I like Aikido techniques but do it really work ?
I "think" it might depend on one's physiology. The bigger, taller or stronger you are the more chances it might work. Just my thought.
@Theonlyonestanding these aikido defence against hook punch might also work against overhead knife attack 🤔
@@dogguyful I think learning how to box would be more sufficient in countering strikes punches..
@Theonlyonestanding what about wing chun? Boxing is really good for street fights.
@@dogguyful I guess Wing Chung is good for blocks but I don't know if it's more powerful than boxing
Aikido is awesome, problem is the training methods are too static. Theres not enough free play like there are with two boxers in a ring. With free play Aikido becomes small circle grappling with 85% of traditional technique ineffective. Short punches and low kicks included in the mix that are still taught in Aikido but are not often mastered by Aikidoists.
This looks like more. Of a judo throw
If the purpose of the hakama is to conceal the legwork, it doesn't make sense for the instructor to wear a hakama, because the students can't see the footwork.
Great comment and from a technical stand point I agree. But the aikido world loves to complicate things and this is one of them. Just like when I was coming up in the beginning. Whenever someone would make a mistake. Sensei would come over if he noticed. He’d then demonstrate the technique using YOU as the uke.
I was always against teaching that way. It does not help the student learn. And of course it’s about feeling the technique. Fuck that, that’s a stupid way to teach others. It’s smarter for the sensei to use the other guy to show the student making the mistake what they’re doing wrong. Aikido loves to play the mystical bullshit. Then they wonder why the art gets bashed.
sempai with all due respect the yokomenuchi used is wrongly done ,yokomeuchi 's rotation comes from the body movement not the arm and /or hand movement , great video ,ossu
+mohamed rekabi
Maybe in your style of aikido but not TenShin Aikido.
LOVE your videos-- but I have to turn the SOUND OFF til that "so called" music is done... :) (no offense- but it's just CRAP to me.. my opinion only!!! ). GREAT videos though.
I want to learn how to do your move so please go a little slower .
Excusez me Master, make videos more short and direct. I think it will be better 👍
No way this is happening against a wild powerful haymaker hook or a tight hook. Forget it. You might jam it or slip it but you are not doing this in one motion. I like this guy and i admire his work on making aikido more functional but this isn't happening plain and simple.
It works but you have to practice not just complain about it not working. You've obviously never studied any aikido,
@@cajunmandick2985 I agree. As a matter of fact I have used a very similar technique b4.
Well, should change the title to "Haymaker or sloppy straight punch defense". I don't think this would be easy to pull off against an actual hook. Better off to duck, slip or block and counter. "Aikido that works...only after you turn it into Judo or Jiu Jitsu, with striking".
Why don't you just do jiu-jitsu
How come ur not talking shit to keyboard kings man? I watch ur videos for that too lol
What is this? lol
This is not a hook punch. It’s a wild goose haymaker. Any dog can defend against it. Pls don’t try this defence against someone who really knows how to throw a hook, else you might loose your teeth
I agree Brother but 99% of blokes do not know how to throw any punch properly let alone a hook.
Yes its not a real hook
You are talking too much.please show the movements not much talks
How about shut up and watch the video.
A teacher teaches. There has to be explanation for why he does it the way he does it. Otherwise he would be just another guy teaching hook punch defense. Each system is unique. It was very rude to say what you did. Maybe Mr. Sly should do a video on honor and respect.
If Sensei doesnt explain the nuances of the technique, it is lost on the student. One of, if not the best, Aikido educational channels out there.
Thank you we really appreciate that
He stole this from judo. It's a head throw
How was what you claim is stealing lol. Seriously dude, this throw is not exclusive to judo. Wake up John, martial arts is martial arts. Take what works and discard what doesn’t.
Koshinage, traditional aikido has plenty plus variations, this is where aikido cross with judo
Both judo and aikido have their roots in Japanese jujutsu (Kito-ryu and Daito-ryu, respectively), so there are naturally a lot of similarities.
