Even if u have no faith in Aikido as a form of self defence, I don't see how u can rate this vid with a thumbs down? Its a well put together production & its topic matter is about the home of an as yet, unfractured Martial Art.
Its very humbling to me.
I am a novice practicioner and I can tell you that aikido has a beauty: it teaches you not to confront but to flow with the force that is directed against you. This is the main word here flow, flow, flow and then control.... when I see practices I always think that at times resembles some kind of dance
Hey I'm from Victoria, Canada too! My Dojo might be making a trip to Hombu in 2010... coming up soon now...
I think this is the best Martial art of all,you cant beat them,no matter how you attack they will use you energy to throw you off,am i right?
i really think style of martial arts represents the peoples personality (or how they sparr/fight) depending on how long they practice it.
i have never seen a ikidoka who wans't humble, they all look calm and peaceful.
aikido is beutiful just like nature. aikidoka would never look forward to using his ikido.
that is a difference against a true self defence and a martial artist.
IMO
god ikido looks so beutifule!
thanks for the post
You have a really sober and 'simple ' style to the fotage.
My favorite of the clips on You tube is without a doubt
the Zen 'episode'. (Refinement seeks simplicity)
It's clean, crisp and sober...
Thanks
its never too late. find a dojo near you and pick up training. you will like it.
Took Aikido when I was a kid, wish I would've stuck with it :(
@LeCutter
Its really not the art, its the teacher. You have teachers that seek the heart and depth of martial arts, and those that are content with the outer form.
"I try to dwell in the fruit and not the flower." At there heart all eastern martial arts are very, very similar.
and THATS why I have always said, if your oponent is an old man who has practiced martial arts of any sort the best way to win is this.... turn around and RUN!!!!!! I have practiced and studied martial arts trough my life and after a couple of years this is the fruit of my research never fight old people that do martial arts unless you run away you will lose, you can never win.
thank you for you respect and words of wisdom
yes excellent footage. Good quality.
i love all these empty mind films i hope they do one on sumo.
Through 20 years of training. There is a little secret then you can do like aikido master.
He's amongst Time's 100 most influencial people of the century along with Mao, Hitler, Einstein etc.
Excellent documentary!
Well I wont argue with that as I know firsthand that it is completely different.
Aikido is largely derived from Aikijutsu. Aikido can be said to be Aikijujitsu without striking (although this is really not very accurate).
The Aikido way is to blend with incoming energy and strikes, gently redirecting them against an opponent. The techniques of Aikido are just as effective (arguably more effective) against striking as any striking art, but Aikido involves reacting with the strike, not against it.
I do Aikido.
My Sensei once told us that though kendo teaches the way of japanese sword the shinai is too light a weapon to be of realistic speed. Try the same techniques with a bokken, which ia about the same weight as a katana, and you will find that a shinai moves just a little too fast. Anyway, great vid
great film. going to the site now.
I practice kendo. At our dojo there is this girl who practices Iaido, Kendo, and Aikido. She once told me to picture Aikido as Kendo without the shinai. Its not exactly that but I get what she was talking about.
Aikido uses the agressive attack against the attacker himself.
All you do is use his own power against him.
Actually the style in this video is called Aikikai
Aikikai isn't a style. It's an organisation. Yoshinkan and Shodokan are styles. Hope that helps. Oss 🙏
The foreigners are lucky to train there. I wish that I could train there.
@karateni
If u practice traditional katas in ur karate, then ur feet are already ready for it
a shinai is 1.49 pounds if not less(18+ male competition shinai)
a real katana weighs in at 2 lb 5 oz (standard paul chen practical katana, there are actually some heavier)
ur wrist will feel the difference after swinging them
lol thats so true im 16 soon to be 17 and i do shotokan karate and jiu jitsu and ever since i stretched my kicks are more strong and fast and what you said is SOOO TURE
@karateni Thank you !!!!
@karateni
Hi mate
I've only done a few mnths of Karate & Aikido (at different stages) & the Aikido I did with a friend,not at a Dojo
I've worked afternoon shifts for 5yrs & don't hav the willpower to get to the 6am classes (cause that's all that's on offer in my city,late afternoon's,early evenings or 6am)
In that time I've seen another friend start & is now a Black Belt & it only increased his easy going attitude while making the little fella not feel he has to 2nd guess "Head Rooster" types
B)
I cant say that i can purely agree or disagree w/ u on your comment cause alot of ppl that get into martial arts seem to "cross-train" in various martial arts. However, a true master of Aikido only needs their opponent to do one attack either by being "baited" into attacking or from the person just being aggressive and that is the end of the encounter. This is just my thoughts on the subject though, what do I know....lol.
aikido is fighting without violence
Wrong, in aikido there's no fighting. The real fight is with yourself.
@albcorason
There was a story going around in some dojo's that after many yrs of taunts from Japan's top Muay Thai fighters, the best of the best of each style secretly met up.
After the Muay Thai fighters got blocked, locked & thrown time & time again, the Aikido guys grew tired & then got the asses served to them.
Sounds like the Muay Thai guys won but really, the "end" moves in Aikido are either by braking bones or using a katana as an extension of the style, so...
That's the story anyway???
@karateni Have you practice Aikido? As Karateka, what do you think about Aikido as a defense for attackers... could by that effective as karate can be?
@jackendy you probably don't know a lot about martial arts the first part of your coment is nonesense because there is no such martial art as best,every martial art is good on it's own way,remember that about the second part of your coment you are totaly right.
@Quy4life
well you should
is aikido effective in a more confined space than a training room?
Course! It`s a pracrice.
can someone tell me if they use to punch or to kick in aikido, how can that stuf work ageinst box, or thai box?
@dunnobutwayne yes a friend of mine was showing me the moves she learned in a closet
I think you misunderstand the concept.
ehh... who is Bruce Lee?
its a submission martial art, pretty modern, very similar to jujutsu, no, there in so punching, only maybe a fake punch, but thats not really trained.
i want to see 8th dan aikido vs UFC fighter!
if you want to see real aikido go to ibaraki ywama ryu thats the real aikido not aikikai.........ywama ryu ne
aikido is good except the warming up exercise. it is kinda culty.
준비운동이 한국 합기도랑 비슷하네^^
junk /

this is bullshit..i do mma and thaiboxing and i m a better man ...not spirit exploration and shit...plain fighting
