Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- This video demonstrates body movements one can practice any time or place in order to build efficient muscle memory and stability to set a strong foundation for aikido techniques. It is important for one to be able to move quickly without thought when put to the test and these exercises can help achieve this goal. I hope you enjoy this video and employ these ideas. Also, please subscribe to my channel.
Never mind the negative comments its usually just a reflection of the person himself
Perfect time to practice this against ghosts during my quarantine life
Yeah I hear ya mate
PISS OFF GHOST!
Thank you! I have a long relationship had my first Aikido class in 1986! It was quite frustrating but I kept at it. My last class was in 2000…. Did several other martial arts before during and after, always incorporating Aikido into the techniques … always thinking about Aikido. Well, this video made it “click”. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for your encouragement!
I have been looking for videos with these kind of exercises for years. Thank you.
Oki_Oak thank you! I hope to have one that uses these same exercises with a partner soon! It will demonstrate the appropriate distance, angle, etc with one and two handed movements.
@@aiki-fitlife6446 Would you be able to make a video utilizing all these exercises in techniques?
Batushima yes, I can make a video for that. Nearly all of aikido techniques use exactly those movements. Some combine them together in a row. At Minute 11 I explain how two of them combine to form ikkyo omote from a shoulder grab. I draw out while “raising the sword” then enter while “cutting”.
You are one of the best teachers I have ever seen. Not only can you see the practical use of a movement, but can see further applications of it.
Mervin Marias I don’t know that I agree with the “best teacher” award but I humbly appreciate your gratitude.
What kind of practical use?
@@avigator sorry for the late reply, but practically if you are off the line of your opponents attack then you are on the outside. That gives you kicking and hitting options that they can't respond to effectively. It is a similar concept to the chinese martial art ba gua zhang.
Thank you for posting this. Good video even for beginners to learn like me.
Thank you, so helpful! Why is no one teaching this like this? Thanks!
Fantastic video, when you can't practice with someone, this helps great.
Excellent
Thank you. This covers alot.
Aikido like any other martial art is effective with the right training and power
Maybe against small children.
Unfortunately, like most other martial arts, Aikido simply won't work in real life.
Watch some of Lee Morrison's Urban Combatives content and regardless of your style or styles, ask yourself honestly, how you would deal with a guy like Lee.
This is very instructive and helpful. Thank you.
Muy bien, lo que estaba buscando. Gracias
Gooooooooooood
This is a fantastic exercise. Thanks.
Tavana321 thank you
very nice.
Ai! Thnx Bien..
..in quite a few classical ryuha taijutsu movements mostly start with going down through your knees, and then take direction, sabaki through weightshift, not muscle strenght. I wonder what that principle would add to aiki techniques... good vid!
Great work sir!

Aikido Scholar thank you! These solo practices have really increased my stability and precision.
@@aiki-fitlife6446 I'm a big fan of practicing tai sabaki and these sort of practices. It actually has both meditative and practical purposes!
Not only solo, but also with my students. A method (addition, better said) that you probably know, really useful aswell, is holding weights in your chest while you practice tai sabaki. It helps a lot to make sure you are keeping your back straight, if you feel pressure in your posture, means that you need to correct it.
Cheers!
Aikido Scholar I don’t know that I’ve just held weights next to me. I have moved through all of the tai sabaki holding dumbbells and making the “wheel” motions as I move. That will help keep your timing for sure😃
I’ll have to try holding weights next to me for posture’s sake. Thank you.
Interesting ! I propose some vidéos of aikido too!
Thank you, Friend!
Perfect. Thank you
.. so much Steven Seagal himself would be proud of you
This is going to be hard. But something deep inside says i need to learn Aikido. I can't resist it. I like they way you are build bro ! You must be extremely grounded. Seems like you won't need Aikido much ... Are there certain muscles that need to be developed more than others ? Looking at you I can't really tell ...
Electric Blue thank you. I have studied several different martial arts over my 30+ years of training. I believe when trained for application that aikido has better answers for many situations than some other arts.
Aikido is about precise movement and angles. It is the relationship of motion between the bodies. Aikido uses the core and legs a great deal to facilitate effective movement, the arms and shoulders mostly deflect and guide the uke. The whole body is important to develope and one of the best ways to develops it in the best way is to practice the actual aikido movements. I like to also put weights with the movements when I am training alone. In this solo practice video notice how I keep my head level for most of the movements. My body is moving linearly beneath me. I want to be able to move without wasting energy fighting gravity unnecessarily.
The Tenkan (180°turn around) I do push up then sink down and then sink down. Train to land in such a way as to expect a grown man to be falling into you. You must be very stable and grounded but not stuck.
I hope this helps a bit. Good luck with your training.
Learn Aikido and i promise your life will be better if you learn aikido and 7 virtuals (bushido)
İ am doing it for 6 years and i am brown belt and i am very happy about it
Can anyone please share a link to buy the costume in US he is wearing ?

Thank you for this. God bless.
Love ya man, but i just couldn't focus on anything but your wrinkled hakama 🙈 Wanna do tutorial how you fold your hakama?
Thank you
Ronin 221 Thank you!

The footwork and coordination aspects of this seem great. But aren't you missing the focus on extension as will.
I feel like this exercise might teach people the correct timing to move their hands, but not the correct movements.
Arbitrary Epiphany I understand your point. I think that the extension, balance and “feeling” of the technique can really only be learned in partnered practice. This is practice for the times when you are alone and still want to train.
You can try using weights on hands and feet, or a weightvest... after 30 minutes youll move like Goku when you take it off😄
Madre mía, jamás he visto a nadie atacar así....
Pablo Ruiz Cañadas No estoy atacando, estoy desviando el ataque entrante y configurando muchas técnicas diferentes.
@@aiki-fitlife6446 No sino me refiero a usted sino al Uke que utiliza, quien ataca así, llevo 15 años haciendo boxeo y kick y jamas he visto una pelea en la que los golpes se lancen así. Soy funcionario de Prisiones aqui en España, y le puedo asegurar que un cuchillo tampoco lo utilizan de esa forma, y vaya por delante que no hablo de sus sistema, sino de la forma de practicarlo, esos ataques con puños o cuchillo incluso a gran velocidad no son reales. Si a mi me entrenan durante 10 años a lanzar jab, directos etc... sin girar la cadera, cuando suba a un cuadrilatero no la moveré, lo que se entrena es lo que luego se desarrolla. Gracias por su pronta respuesta.
Who is watching this during the virus 2020?
Sensei what is your dan?
HuskaTv 104 nidan in aikido

HuskaTv 104 cool. My Sensei’s are 4th dan and 7th Dan (Andrew Sato Shihan). How long have you been studying aikido? What is your rank?

It's kinda like shadowboxing of aikido
It’s not for shadow boxing. Pick one at a time and practice many reps. The purpose it to develop muscle memory so the body can move smoothly and accurately without thought. I usually do 500 reps.
@@aiki-fitlife6446 yes, that's what I meant with shadowbpxing , almost like karate kata
@@aiki-fitlife6446 it's all about the muscle memory
@@aiki-fitlife6446 by the way, what were you saying about setting up aikido tournament and develop the rules and all? If you respond to that message I sent you before
@@aiki-fitlife6446 that's EXACTLY what shadowboxing is lol.
Not bad for me who is away from last year.covid rule the world🥴
with the cross as logo, I bet that you deliver Bible sermons during your classes :p
I make points and comparisons but not usually sermons. 😇
👍
Yo soy 1 dan de aikido,y lo que este señor hace no lo es ,es un invento para ganar dinero a costa de más incautos
Students dude ,Slow down so we can follow along
I apologize for the speediness 😄
why do you fake spar?
Herschel יונה this isn’t “fake sparring” it is for developing precise muscle memory.
@@aiki-fitlife6446 no i meant vid's intro
Herschel יונה those are excerpts from several of the different tutorial videos.
Can we have a video of you having a real sparring against a MMA fighter? Just to see if it works in a real fight lol
Nah thats unfair mma is mixed martial arts many arts vs one
So...what happens when someone fights back and doesn't just throw themselves to the floor?!
Keep fighting. Why would they just throw themselves on the floor?
@@aiki-fitlife6446you tell me. You don't actually believe that any of this shit is going to work on a resisting opponent...
Aaron Wilkie of course it works. I have personal experience with it working on multiple occasions. What experience do you have that makes you think it doesn’t?
Aiki-Fit Life Sorry Man, I love Aikido and Kung Fu, and all that good stuff, but the reality is that it only works on people that doesn’t know how to fight. I practice all of that before, then starting doing Kickboxing, BJJ and Wrestling, and forget it man, I went back and did sparring against traditional Kung Fu and Aikido and they get their asses kicked, I used to think that was the best stuff but now days that a lot of people know how to fight because of the UFC, all those techniques don’t stand a change, that’s is the truth brother, you will only fight how you train.
@@JoseAlvarez-bt2be Everything in life is about the situation and conditions. There are situations and conditions where it works.... obviously. And to say that Kickboxing, BJJ, and Wrestling is superior is just egoistic. So why these types of comments looking for the negative? Besides, it's one great way of keeping fit. So it benefits us health-wise as well, among other things like mental focus, health, stability, mind and body coordination, action and reaction, etc...

Don't waste your time with this. Go and learn real fighting techniques, bjj, muay thai, boxing, karate, wrestling etc.

It's funny how a fake fight aka form makes it look good in a demo... How about a real fight?
Umm, am I missing something? This shit is real basic and boring, no shade but y’all need to stop with the cap
This guy is delusional...he's teaching people how to get killed or badly hurt in the real world ....
to be fair, if you use muay thai, judo or any other thing powerful on someone that is way weaker than you, you might be fcked by their lawyers. i did 1 year of hapkido, and i could remove some karens of my property without any problem. of course, against normal opponents that shit does not work. but it is not 100% useless.
@@tiocroc4814 idk what kind of hapkido you did, but in addition to joint locks, we did full contact sparring,primarily kickboxing with takedowns & submissions allowed. Sees useful to me. I did jin joong kwan hapkido
Fake !! Scam artist lol
Garbage!!!!
