I must say that even as a person who only watches Aikido and has never practised it at all, these explanations are very clear and i seem to be understanding them a little bit! :)

I dropped out of Aikido due to personal circumstances just over a year ago :( Your lucid, articulate and well-presented videos have given me the gentle encouragement needed to return to the dojo :) Duly subscribed! And thank you :)

This is excellent, thank you. I'm getting back into Aikido (Tomiki) after, if you can believe it, about 30 years at the age of 63. The more I have access to clear instruction of the basics such as this, the better it will influence my learning curve for the better. As long as my body holds up.

very well explained, like the way you focus on details, Thank"s Sensei.

I love your videos. Thanks for taking the time.

Wow my sensei taught me rokuyou in the first six months as part of the class. Guy was amazing

Clear demo. One thing I heard that was very helpful as a principle is: Shiho Nage, Kotogaeshi should NEVER be based on pain; Nikkyo, yes. But even there, the pain should be very temporary. A badly done nikkyo can damage the area for weeks or longer. An expertly done nikkyo is a shooting electrical pain that immediately disappears and leaves no after-effect. Kotogaeshi and shihonage should never be applied sideways to the joint. That's stupid, unnecessary, ineffective as it relies on pain to cause a good uke to jump out of the technique, but it can seriously harm a less sensitive uke. Instead it should rely on harmony and on gaining the balance of uke. Even sankkyo can be done so as to have little pain and work mostly with the balance. But correctly applied it can be a stretch that is beneficial. To avoid incorrect technique you "take up slack" first and then and apply in the direction of the fingers....

I love man!!😍😍✌✌

Very good

Sooo cool!

I knew someone who demonstrated an akiedo technique where I extended an arm toward him and he braced one of his arms with the other and swept my arm in a circular motion that resulted in me getting completely unbalanced and in a position where my face was pointing down and I was bent over. What did he do?

I did practice Aikido 5 Years for many years ago. And now internet ist fantastik to remember all the things. I got a litle book where I self all drowing.

aikido simple yet effective

My questions are on the Japanese language and Aikido: 1. Do you know Japanese. 2. If you do know the language, did you learn Japanese because of Aikido Assuming that you answer yes to both previous questions; 3. How fluent are you; do yo read, write and speak the language fluently? 4. As an Aikido instructor and as a student do you find it necessary or vital to learn the Japanese language to become an effective practitioner of the art? Thank you for your time and for your videos. Sincerely, Leonardo

I'm new to this, but I think you could learn as you go. As long as you understand the concept, I don't see the harm in it. Well, unless someone with more knowledge comes along and gives you shit for not knowing correct terms and pronunciation. That would be their problem though, not yours.

Thank you my grandma had no chance😊

Would you please post something about Aikido and your experience of what you love about Aikido I see all your videos you discourage Aikido like a problem of training it I understand there is a lot of weaknesses in the art and there are dojos that are different from others but what is your experience what do you love about Aikido and how would you change Aikido and still keep it Aikido and make it it better and safer and more of a self-defense dojo

@@MartialArtsJourney Must be tough man, It sucks when a martial art you were passionate about becomes difficult to place in your life when it lacks combat efficiency. You feel a cognitive dissonance where you both love and hate your martial art. Overtime I just appreciate martial arts, even the most inefficient ones. I still feel myself raging sometimes though when I hear unfalsifiable claims about a martial art working when it's the least effective thing you could do. I'm really thankful for your channel and all the work you have done, you've increased my knowledge on martial arts a lot.

It’s not wrestling why are you going to the ground?

I like these GIRL on boy training videos!

His friend is ai

This's why Akido is not fully functional in a fight with punches, kicks, throws, ect; though, some techniques like irimi nage, koreregaeshi, and others that might actually work in a street fight. Having said that, Akido is meant to control, arrest, or damage a person that's going to grab you, especially the wrist. This's why. However, I see lots of merits in it.

@@user-gr2kr7sj7n I said not fully functional. Some techniques could work; I said it, but you need to train with resistance, something most schools don’t do.

I would be honest to you That doesn't work when people has a solid kungfu/wrestling foundation and move step Especially agressor attacker who always move fast randomly Most of those move will bring you in trouble, cause nobody flow their body like that in real fight. Just take that reality and find some more efficient move

@@MartialArtsJourney " If one school explains the technique in a specific way it doesn't mean another one doing it differently is wrong." True... but nonetheless there are mistakes people are making. I am working with many aikido styles and for all I know, there are soo many mistakes you are doing... and it is not about style, but about body mechanics and physics. A high level teacher posses some deep understanding of techniques, and style is not relevant in judging right or wrong. Some things are just wrong. Much improvement is possible here. "Also none of these techniques would work against a resisting opponent anyway :)" - Again, you are right. Done that way - none. If you would correct some mistakes and then realize, that "techniques" are just a "training platforms" and you have to adapt (other way of calling it - Oyo waza) to apply, then you are at a right path. I know people using them in work situations (law enforcement, jail guards and etc, and trust me, they all work just fine). To conclude - perhaps you should focus on "why" it doesn't work, instead blaming aikido or "style" of aikido.
