Thank you for this video. I have study 4 styles of MA in my life, ranging from Jiu Jitsu in my early teens to Wing Chun in my thirties. I've also worked as security in music venues and night clubs for years, as well as having more "street experience" than I ever really wanted. Control of conflict is the control of self. Lose your head/temper/ego, lose the conflict. I've often found that, what I call, the "3 C's" are much better than any techniques; Confidence, Concentration, and Calm. Studio/Dojo time allow students the opportunity to develop all of it, 3 C's and good technique. I have not studied Aikido, but have a deep respect for your Path. I look forward to someday participating in it.
Excellent! Push your ego aside and walk away. How much fights (and wars and terror) could be avoided when people won't listen to their ego. You've got a new subscriber. Thank you!
The best thing about Aikido Flow to me is that in a day when everyone and his sister wants to get in a cage martial artist still exist that actually don't want to fight. Of all the martial arts videos on UA-cam you guys are my favorite.
Very good advice. Any use of force is always the last resort. And use the minimum force required. O-Sensei was a warrior for peace. By reading his writings and sayings you can see that he considered the true enemy to be the baser aspects of human behavior. One of my favorite quotes is- "By acting in accordance with the truth we emerge victorious".
Excellent video as always mate... Ive been a practitioner of Aikido for a little over 13 yrs. I at times still have to put ego aside and remind myself when not to let things get me roused up.. Sir you are absolutely 100% correct, if unchecked ego will chime in and make you feel as though you need to prove something. People walk away if you can, every time... Even if you feel as though you can and should do physical harm to the individual thats in your face giving you problems.. Walking away its still a victory... This in my opinion is probably the most advanced technique there is in being a "Warrior". It shows maturity in your journey in and of Aikido and as a human being as well .. And besides, at the end of the day Im sure we all would want to act in a manner that would make our Sensei's proud. Bravo to the Aikidoflow staff..
I fear having to stand in front of a judge more than getting into a fight. My freedom is too precious to me. I'm not saying I absolutely will not fight, and I *damn* sure am not saying that I won't *want* to knock a fool out, but I do fear consequences. Everybody has smartphones these days, and they can broadcast shit live on the net as it happens.
Likewise. Recently read an interesting article on what is reasonable force that includes several examples of reasonable force and a couple of excessive which was useful
amen it is not worth it stand up for the weak and stop a robbery feel good for life.I was attacked by a 70 year old woman and stood there and looked away embarrassed for her.
So true, you have to put ego to one side. If you do end up having to fight you won't perform well if still in ego mode as it has its own agenda. Try living without ego in all aspects of life, you will enjoy a much more peaceful and healthier existence.
There is such a delicate balance of fear and fury in a fight or confrontation. Overextension of situation escalation is the most dangerous and most frequent error. For example, if you try to grab someone or strike their groin, or kick him hard, etc. and fail or don't do it effectively enough, you've raised the bar of acceptable force in the fight. And your opponent will be pissed off that you tried to seriously hurt him and come back to give you twice the punishment you failed to do. Weapons make this situation all the more easy to mess up. Being careful and attentive is exceptionally useful in a confrontation. DON'T UNNECESSARILY ESCALATE THE SITUATION! :P And yeah, neutralizing an opponent with a takedown, punch, kick, or lock is safer for you, because as soon as vitals get targeted or weapons enter the picture, a safe takedown or escape becomes very unlikely.
The thing which helped me is extending ki towards the aggressor. I don't mean as a weird magical force, but opening up, relaxing your muscles and thinking about connection. This has served me well in several situations in daily life. Considering that connection seems to make it difficult to hold onto your aggression. Someone put it to me like this: anger is a great starter motor but a terrible fuel.
Needed this video. I tried this for the first time and my ego was hurt as the person was saying some messed up things. Then people were saying i should of hit them etc. But as I'm approaching 40 years old, I'm trying to get rid of these old immature egotistical habits. Thanks
this video was great I actually join martial arts to not to get all excited and fight. My instructor told me once you know the skills you will not have to fight only if you actually need to. I must say I have since calm down because of it thanks for these videos.
Great video guys great job, it’s all about making the right decision without letting your emotions take the better of you and keep living the aikido flow.
I live in the US and in a rough city. In today's world, I'm less worried about physical encounters than I am bullets/sneak attacks. You couldn't be more right. 9.9/10 out of ten with the exception of defending someone who can't defend their selves (like an old relative or my children), I will walk away. Defusing the situation I believe shows more skills and advanced training than those who resort immediately to violence/shaming. Someone cuts you off in traffic, a random stranger you encounter's got a bad attitude and looks menacing on the elevator/in the restaurant or bar, you're outside walking the dog and a group of teenagers/young adults who look like thugs are walking towards you...these are all just examples of everyday occurrences. I'm an almost 10 year Aikidoka and everytime I think I'm starting to think I've got the idea of what Aikido is all about, I'll be damned if something new doesn't take me back to almost square one...that's what I love about it though.. you never really master it, It's just something you keep getting better at.
+forgottensailor2006 You make some great points here and I am with you on defending people 100%!!., there are many different ways to express your Aikido and I think your right, that keeps changing, the Aikido I use today is very different to what I used 10 years ago. Keep training you need to get to 20 years!!
Agreed. There are situations when you are with someone and a bully hits that someone you are with just to challenge you...That someone could be your wife, girlfriend or your kid...
Excellent analysis by true gentlemen.I am a professional and a Martial artist and have had to defend myself. My only disagreement is that you don't have to strike just because your adrenaline is running. The adrenaline will always be there like a loaded spring, but you don't have strike unless the person is within striking distance. I have had many close calls but 90 percent of the time people don't dare get too close.
from personal experience i can honestly say i think this mindset of deescalation is the main reason why there's not much footage of aikido being used in street fight and sorts - because most of us aikidoka won't let it come to that level if there's a choice (but yeah ego's a bitch totally agree there)
Thanks so much for this channel. I was a bit skeptical of Aikido due to the dominant attitudes surrounding martial arts these days. I had my first class tonight and I'm really looking forward to learning more!
sometimes I'm scared to fight cause idk how it feels if I back out they call me names last time a kid try to hit me I was to scared could not fight back but now sence I saw this video I think I can fight better thanks!
that is normal Joshua we all feel like that so don't worry, even people with big mouths are scared in side, join some sort of Martial arts or boxing club that you feel happy in and you will find after a short while you will be ready to fight anyone! Trust me. Jason.
Beautiful Video very informative indeed I Kev from Trenton Nj and a Aikido Practioner and I have used it on the streets and what you said is so true keep it up.. just one question what do you have against Multiple Attacks. .or Randori..Peace
I have a custom who s a bulley .been bulletin me all my life just wants to hart me .and mentally I did not know to deal with him I am slowly recovering for foot injory . Thank u I really don't knows how to thank u for get me more and more ready mentally to deal with his edoit aass
I agree don't escalate, act as afraid as you can try to appear afraid. Most of the time that feeds the other guys ego."I don't want any trouble, I am sorry". If that doesn't work the opponent will likely get over confident.Maybe poke you in the chest with his finger.For the inner being that is afraid picture you family at home and keep saying to that picuture I love you and I am coming on home I am coming home. I thought six people were gonna beat me to death one time. I thought it was my last stand, I kept picturing my a doctor after my autopsy telling my family how much I loved them how hard I fought, how many pieces of ears and noses I bit off and swallowed. the first guy was flipping me shit and said how big are your hands? I held them up in front of me and he interlocked fingers with me.I squeezed for all I was worth, and the guy let out a squeal I dropped turned loose of his hands and he left, I turned to face the other people.....they were all embarrassed, by this fool.I said " I was about to smack that guy, they all said "we have had to smack him sometimes, we are sorry he showed up here tonight.
for me first off i would never let someone get me my face and start arguing with me good way to get clocked by them i would keep a distance away then i would never turn my back to them and walk away another good way of getting clocked never trust the person your arguing with at all.
Think of your third hit and look at his chest you will see a white light. As soon as he touches you hit him as many times as you can. Any Martial Art is good when you constantly study it and practice it, this will develop speed! If you have knowledge of the ground fighting and offensive fighting techniques, which 90% of martial arts don't teach you. Tiler a martial art to you, me personally I like to learn street-fighting; it's more complexed than a game of chest and last less than fifteen seconds in a real situation. I wouldn't say any just one Martial Art is the best. I have seen some good martial arts but the drawbacks is few arts teach offensive fighting it's all defense against the offence. To get into a martial art ask yourself: 1) What do you want out of the martial art? Do you want sport or something else -- many people want to learn to street-fight. 2) What are your abilities? 3) Learn wrestling, punching, locks chokes, elbows knees then legs -- I think that's the easiest way to develop your techniques. If you think different pleas feel free to leave a comment. 4) Learn other martial arts too, just don't learn on one. Getting a Black Belt people make the mistake of stopping learning. The real good ones continue to learn.
Gamezz world!! Most of the time, you know that there is no way, you’re getting out of the fight. I find that it’s best ( especially if you’re a smaller person) to make a move in....To just stand there in fear, or just standing, is not logical to me....Your gut feeling will tell you this, always go with your gut feelings....Maybe, & in most of my fights, they come with a knife or a gun, etc.. The best defense, is a strong 💪🏻 & powerful offensive movements!! I’ve practiced Chinese Tiger & White Crane, & boxing 🥊. Training is important.....And it’s very true, the good guys, never stop learning. I try to learn something every day myself...Get yourself a practice dummy, something you can let loose on. I prefer a person like dummy....Then practice, practice, practice!! Remember, VICTORY LOVES PREPARATION!!!! 🙏🏻⚡️👼🏻⚡️✨🌍👌🏼 Have a peaceful day....
Hi guys, love your videos and they motivate me to train harder. What I would really love to see is a video where the uke is a non practitioner. Aikido experts know how to move when kotegaeshi or shihonage are applied. What about a "normal" person who knows nothing about aikido? What kind of reaction might they have when they start feeling pain from a sankyo tecnique? Should we diversify the tecnique considering this person isn't an aikidoka? I'm sure it would make an interesting video.
The problem with this Lenny, is someone that knows nothing about aikido does not know how to fall or protect them selves and they are more likely to get hurt, you see this a lot in new students. But I understand where you're going with this, a lot of what you see in Aikido looks like a 'dance' where Uke is just going with what is happening, sometimes that's a good idea so you can understand the movement but when you want to see if something really works that does not help.
+Aikidoflow Hi, while I know what you mean and I've practiced a wee bit of Aikido, some of the exits still seem 'fake'. Less though in the joint techniques but more in weapons. Hope my Sensei doesn't see this ;-)
+John Hales Yes I know what you mean John, i have been thinking about this whole issue over the pst few weeks and Im going to make a video to try and get some clear thinking on this.
hello sir ,,, but @ the time of fear we can't just remember things u suggested and till we remember it and have a process of following ,,, their is long time pass away
The way we train at our dojo is start off really slowly and softly and once you are happy with the movement ask your partner to go a little faster and harder and keep on turning this up until you are just under full speed, just be sure you increase slowly, over weeks if you have too, the key is always how you handle the speed of the attack, go slowly to start!
You guys are doing a great service to martial artists of all styles, and people in general. Hey wait .... wasn't that Ueshiba' s idea to begin with? Huh. Imagine that eh?
A lot of common sense in this video, and sound advice. My only comment is on the last comment: "Train by repetition". There is a natural tension between repetition and variety/spontaneity. In Aikido, the range of training situation is rather limited. We don't train to actually receive blows. We don't train for the unexpected. We don't train in confined spaces, in the dark, with our back against a wall, etc.. Which is why, after 30 years of Aikido, I switched to Russian Systema. Almost the same spirit, but with a much wider variety of situations. I am not saying that Aikido is not good. I am saying that the Japanese way of teaching via repetition and "molding" the student into a rigid form is probably not the most efficient, as it takes 20 years to train a good student. Pedagogy has progressed since the Samurai era. Just look at how the military train their elite forces. Much less repetition work than they used to do 40 years ago...
You should feel some fear. It's natural. Fear and pain is how your body tells you something is not right. On the other hand, fear is surmountable. Learning to rise above fear and pain is what MAs is for. They give us, as people. the tools to become better humans by allowing our higher selves to direct our baser instincts. Getting into a fight, honestly, sucks. No one gets out uninjured. The only "win" is escaping with less injury taken and avoiding permanent harm for everyone involved.
As a former military men I do not fear the pain.. Or the blood.. I fear most to be accused by the law.. Here in my country you are guilty until proven innocent...
Aikido is a way of peace... after you break somebody's arm he becomes really peaceful

The last bit of this is brilliant. I wish I have a local teacher

Thanks sir, i appreciate your kind words.
best comment ive seen on youtube in a long time. :-)
Thanks man. Trying to speak from the heart.
You are exactly right when you said don’t let your mind waste your valuable times once they x that line. I screwed up on that sometime
Another great video. I'm pretty new to you guys, but I love y'all. Please keep them coming. God bless from South Carolina.

Worth tracking down one of Koichi Tohei's books and working with his exercises...

You are a real man for doing that, you have my upmost respect ✊.jason.
l am from Africa, Mozambique, we don't have aikido dojo and I would like to practice and put my son learning. l like to much you teaching very good
The fear is your friend.
Excellent re-advice to my mind. Sometimes I stay to focused on my adversary and not have the situational awareness.
Great helpful you are so calm
I am an amatrue MMA fighter for 2.5yrs my mind is always thinking about the outcome before a fight .
Meaningless worries
Excellent video!
GOOD JOB!! MY RULES OF ENGAGEMENT 1. DONT BE THERE 2. ESCAPE 3. DONT HESITATE FINISH THE FIGHT.
this video was great I actually join martial arts to not to get all excited and fight. My instructor told me once you know the skills you will not have to fight only if you actually need to. I must say I have since calm down because of it thanks for these videos.
Great video guys great job, it’s all about making the right decision without letting your emotions take the better of you and keep living the aikido flow.
Great video Jason, I enjoy your videos in to becoming calm in dangerous situations or taking actions, your videos are the best 👌

I agree walk away if you can good advice, always avoid fights
Thanks Ronnie.keep practicing and it become second nature
Luv ur advice respect from Australia
an absolute stalwart video!!!! this is exactly the principal of aikido and you explained it brilliantly thank you
Thank you Tommy
Welcome man very good explanation and practical application
Thank you aikidoflow , it is very affective.
Excellent analysis by true gentlemen.I am a professional and a Martial artist and have had to defend myself. My only disagreement is that you don't have to strike just because your adrenaline is running. The adrenaline will always be there like a loaded spring, but you don't have strike unless the person is within striking distance. I have had many close calls but 90 percent of the time people don't dare get too close.
Great Channel keep up the Good work Aikidoflow
Many thanks..!!
One of the best I ever heard! Kudos mate!
from personal experience i can honestly say i think this mindset of deescalation is the main reason why there's not much footage of aikido being used in street fight and sorts - because most of us aikidoka won't let it come to that level if there's a choice (but yeah ego's a bitch totally agree there)
Good point, I think your right.
Or its because aikido doesn't work in the streets. I've never seen it work unless against a drunk untrained dude. Aka when a normal push would work
Excellent video and advice Jason....Keep up the good work
+Ronnie Cola Thank you Ronnie.
Excelent advise and something that I needed to hear . Thanks .
Thanks so much for this channel. I was a bit skeptical of Aikido due to the dominant attitudes surrounding martial arts these days. I had my first class tonight and I'm really looking forward to learning more!
Hi guys,
Very informative no nonsense stuff, keep up the good work and keep those vids coming.
The flow is in full effect
This is great. Can't tell you how useful this is, might actually have to get a pen and paper(old skool) and transcribe it.
Thank you. ✌🏼️
Great video and fantastic advice!
Nice explanation you've helped me understand how to control fear better👍
You guys are the best! Tks for the tips!
Thank you
Excellent, thank you
Repeat as much as 1000 times.... Like what you're doing fellas...
Looking around is so important! Then just let your body do it's thing. Like watching a movie.
sometimes I'm scared to fight cause idk how it feels if I back out they call me names last time a kid try to hit me I was to scared could not fight back but now sence I saw this video I think I can fight better thanks!
that is normal Joshua we all feel like that so don't worry, even people with big mouths are scared in side, join some sort of Martial arts or boxing club that you feel happy in and you will find after a short while you will be ready to fight anyone! Trust me. Jason.
Excellent video
Very helpfull lesson. Thanks
Beautiful Video very informative indeed I Kev from Trenton Nj and a Aikido Practioner and I have used it on the streets and what you said is so true keep it up.. just one question what do you have against Multiple Attacks. .or Randori..Peace
+Kevin Parham Thank you Kev, we have talked about that, I think Azu is going to do something on Multiple attacking people.
I have a custom who s a bulley .been bulletin me all my life just wants to hart me .and mentally I did not know to deal with him I am slowly recovering for foot injory . Thank u I really don't knows how to thank u for get me more and more ready mentally to deal with his edoit aass

+WatercolorMaster - Serbia..Thank you. ..we will keep going as long as you keep watching!!
Love your videos
He's Great ❣️
Are you still providing instruction?
for me first off i would never let someone get me my face and start arguing with me good way to get clocked by them i would keep a distance away then i would never turn my back to them and walk away another good way of getting clocked never trust the person your arguing with at all.
I am with you keep that space keep backing up, in a circle, don't turn your back ever.
Great videos. Keep it up.
the song is so cool and smoothing in contrast with the subject matter
I just like cool music...lol

Just keep doing it over and over and you won't even have time to think about it when the time comes.
Aikidoflow thanks man
We all feel it mate even ur opposition no one is invincible
luka viktor vukan same here
Yes that's the way. Because , you never know how this will end. If your'e a pro fighter or what ever. It could end very very bad.
Excellent points!
+Chetan Vaknalli thank you
Shut your emotions down and you have a huge advantage. It's all math and logic at that point.
hello sir ,,, but @ the time of fear we can't just remember things u suggested and till we remember it and have a process of following ,,, their is long time pass away
Gamezz world!! That is why he mentioned training. So it becomes normalised like a reflex. You won't have to ponder your move.
Jason, do a video explaining about the spherical ideology in Aikido please. Haydor
Yes Haydor..great idea, I will have a think about how I could film that
+Haydor Khan Until they make that video, Aikido and the Dynamic Circle is an excellent book. :-)
how can i be sure that a sertain technique will work in a real life situatuon?
The way we train at our dojo is start off really slowly and softly and once you are happy with the movement ask your partner to go a little faster and harder and keep on turning this up until you are just under full speed, just be sure you increase slowly, over weeks if you have too, the key is always how you handle the speed of the attack, go slowly to start!
I don’t fear a fight or fighting someone but I avoid fights
You guys are doing a great service to martial artists of all styles, and people in general.
Hey wait .... wasn't that Ueshiba' s idea to begin with?
Huh. Imagine that eh?
I found this video useful for a preparation to fight, but I don't think it really addresses fear..
Can you show subtitle sir pls
In a conflict situation, I usually concentrate on the piss running down my leg. :(
That's one way! Lol

A lot of common sense in this video, and sound advice. My only comment is on the last comment: "Train by repetition". There is a natural tension between repetition and variety/spontaneity. In Aikido, the range of training situation is rather limited. We don't train to actually receive blows. We don't train for the unexpected. We don't train in confined spaces, in the dark, with our back against a wall, etc.. Which is why, after 30 years of Aikido, I switched to Russian Systema. Almost the same spirit, but with a much wider variety of situations. I am not saying that Aikido is not good. I am saying that the Japanese way of teaching via repetition and "molding" the student into a rigid form is probably not the most efficient, as it takes 20 years to train a good student. Pedagogy has progressed since the Samurai era. Just look at how the military train their elite forces. Much less repetition work than they used to do 40 years ago...
I know some but I'm still scared to fighr
Joshua Campechano bro its not wrong with you ,,,, all are facing the same bro ,,, just practice fighting all the time ,,, or have a bully with you ,,
You should feel some fear. It's natural. Fear and pain is how your body tells you something is not right. On the other hand, fear is surmountable. Learning to rise above fear and pain is what MAs is for. They give us, as people. the tools to become better humans by allowing our higher selves to direct our baser instincts. Getting into a fight, honestly, sucks. No one gets out uninjured. The only "win" is escaping with less injury taken and avoiding permanent harm for everyone involved.
Don't be. . .
afraid.
One of thee worse things to think is to "awesome" that you can beat your openents ass.
As a former military men I do not fear the pain.. Or the blood.. I fear most to be accused by the law.. Here in my country you are guilty until proven innocent...
fight*
when two or three people come than
