Unfortunate to come across negative comments here. I think these are genuine demonstrations. The question is, how are you doing it? :) what's the breakdown of the techniques used here and can it have applications only only a straight punch?
I can't really break it down here, but perhaps if you watch the video on a large screen at low speed it will become clearer. In particular watch the hips and note small movements to absorb or enter. As for whether these specific techniques are applicable to other attacks the answer is that once one has internalised the basic kata, one has developed a body and a way of moving. I suspect that it is then necessary to deliberately practise these ideas to get the timing right. We need to be able to act without thought, and this sometimes happens when uke attacks in an unexpected way or we have to switch technique. In earlier videos we have attempted to pressure test techniques by making the attack variable, but there are limitations on that. In most of these videos I attempt to show a progression from basic technique to application. Thank you for your kind comment and useful question.
Thank you for your video and showing us your techniques. Unfortunately, you would never be able to pull off these techniques if dori was not compliant. I suggest you incorporate training at 80 % sometimes and then you will see how many techniques will work or not . Aikido has been so water down and so many students have practiced without ever getting punched in the face or chocked out. Need to incorporate actual live training hard and that includes most Sensei's. Forget the nonsense of you can hurt someone, the person that is going to get hurt is your feelings when you notice your technique does not work and have spent so much time and effort. One last thing please rephrase you title To Aikido Training and omit the " Dark Arts of Aikido " . Also, probably a good idea to turn off comments.
This is always a criticism of Aikido and not without some justification since many Aikidoka seem to struggle to get beyond kata. The point to remember is that the attacker has no idea what you are going to do and neither should the defender. Anything can be countered if the technique to be applied is known in advance. If you have to think about it you will be too late. In most of these videos I am showing basic technique and variations on them, strikes are suggested and assumed to some extent and neither of us is operating on full power as defender. It is not hard to put the harm back into harmony as required. I have no problem with people being critical or explaining why we train in a certain way so I have no problem with comments. It rather annoys me that some Aikido channels do switch them off because they could really benefit.
I understand what you are saying but my disagreement with Aikido has been too many Sensei teach without being tested and that is what transfers over to students. Too many randoris are done with so much go with the flow movement and not tested. As soon as someone locks you up or hits you Aikido went out the door. People try to act like Old Sensei and guess what it does not work the way you thought and I guess you might say well I can give an Atemi before I perform my technique. It might work but how many time have you practiced giving an atemi - probably not much. The only thing I am trying to say I hope you cross train outside your dojo and get to feel how other people grab and hit. Just don't say you know Aikido and see how it works out for you. You will see things are a lot different. Therefore, keep training and keep it real. @@mraffabilityGB
@@MrJvcconstruction I know what you mean about Aikido going out the door and only practice will solve this. I don't know whether you have seen some of my other videos where we do attempt some degree of pressure testing. I think that Aikido show its potential to work when Uke catches you by surprise with the "wrong" attack, or a technique goes wrong and you have to switch. In these videos I generally try to show the relationship between the basic kata technique and practical application. The reason we do the techniques on each other rather than me being the great "I am" is because if I cannot teach him to make the technique work against me that is a failure of technique and teaching. Teachers should be aiming to make their students excel them. I get quite exasperated when I watch tame, often light female ukes trotting around meekly grabbing wrists, not even testing their ability to put in a strike. We are always aware of this possibility and this may not be apparent in the demonstrations which are not rehearsed or scripted. This particular video is an attempt to show the possibilities once kata have been internalised. Aikido techniques are derived from joint, bone breaking and killing so ultimately testing them in a sporting way is not possible. Once there are rules all martial arts lose their true significance.
Is that really the point? If we took on a boxer or wrestler at their own game and they are competent then quite probably, but Aikido is not for standing in a ring and abiding by rules or even out of a ring. I see Aikido as opportunistic, or something that suits a melee situation where for any attack that comes to you there is a response using the techniques learned as kata. The "techniques" shown here are an extension of kata in that they compress the technique. Whether "us guys" would get destroyed comes down to how good the other guy is as it does in any martial art or sport. I think that people are often surprised by Aikido when they get on the mat, though of course that depends on the Dojo. Aikido offers a balance of skills which could be an asset regardless of size, strength, gender or age.
@mraffabilityGB It's choreographed nonsense. It's Mcdojo. Every time an aikido "master" has tried to back up his skills in an actual fight they got totally destroyed. Aikido will not work unless your opponent is so drunk he can barely stand. Aikido is the most ineffective garbage ever to be categorized as a martial art.

These guys would get destroyed by an average boxer or wrestler.

@@mr.joedirt8583 stop thinking aikido is inferior. You talk like that because you've never faced an Aikido practicer on the mat
