Welcome to the beatiful world of Yoshinkan Aikido. Check out this most subtle of martial arts and find out about its strange history.
There is a short documentary about it on YouTube, if you haven’t seen it, it’s great. I was foolish enough to first read about it, and think it was the perfect candidate for my planned 1 year studying Aikido in Japan. After watching the documentary, I’m pretty sure that’s not a level of dedication I’m willing to put myself at, LOL.
My sensei RandomlyRandom5 is like that as well. We where practicing one technique and sensei saw that me and my partner where not putting the full strength into the strike and block. So he went to show us that we need to where he went to strike me and my mistake didnt block properly. Ended up getting smacked in the face. Because my block was to weak.
good to see a majority of positive comments on Aikido, as appose to the negativity I’ve read on other videos, quite often from MMA fans… I’ve been training in Aikido for nearly nine years now and it has enriched my life many fold…
Aikido generally doesn’t do much sparring until higher levels, but everywhere is different. But where I train, the sensei is very martially minded. While compensating for skill level, you strike to hit, and defend as though they are really out to get you. Train like this, and its very difficult to be surprised in a real situation. If they resist what you try to do or the situation changes, you try for another technique. All techniques are trained with partners.
well that is very “Aiki” of them -.- but still quite awesome^^
remember it’s also important to remember that sparring and fighting are very different, and sparring can actually lead to over-confidence and complacency due to the lack of “dangerous surprises”.
I am going to start taking aikido next week and i was wondering what i could expect my first lessons
We have the same mentality in Shodokan Aikido as well
I’ve trained Tomiki Aikido for 33 years (competed in Japan twice) and found this video delightful. I hope his series is picked up by a commercial network. Well done!
PERFECT! Never saw such a wise comment here as this one!
So you actually live in the hombu dojo as an uchi deshi?
It was a pleasure seeing the smiles on the childrens faces, truely clear minds and innocence. Very enlightening.
I didn’t see these tests…so how am I to know if they actually did it or not, much less worked or not? This is my issue at the moment.
they did test their theories.. if you watch “this” video, you’d come to know that the founder of yoshinkan dojo provokes yakusa men in the streets of Tokyo to practice their aikido.
If you train with the proper mindset, you will at least be better prepared for a real situation.
wtf lol did he say “aikido sensay is famous for…………….but today he is high lol 3:50
As it should be in all arts. Even sparing is just play. Ask the few who have ever had to defend themselves on the street or in war–life and death often revert to simple, but effective techniques. And death happens, most will never get over it, even if they are fully in the right.
I have serious respect for the Senshusei course after reading Angry White Pyjamas by Robert Twigger
note…The Name Aikibudo wasn’t changed to Yoshinkan Aikido. It was shortened to Aikido by Ueshiba Morihei. Yoshinkan was the name of Shioda Sensei’s Dojo.
Training aikido in an Alive fashion doesn’t need to increase injury rates. I do it in the Clinch range with my students while sparring,and the wristlocks makes people want to tackle you because they don’t want your hands on them,lol. I’ll put up vids of me nailing people off of the 2 on 1,head and arm,judo grips,etc.
Yeah, I suppose you train yourself mentally to be explosive during the martial art training, and train your body to be explosive during other times of training, not directly associated with the martial art you’re learning. I do agree though, that if these students trained with the intention of causing harm (or if the Ukes weren’t compliant) there would be a gross frequency of injuries.
That is the million dollar question for whole host of martial arts that do not involve sparring or any other kind of isomorphic training. If you have never trained for war how will your body and mind really know how to respond?
By “free-style” fighting, do you mean, “sparring”? If there’s no sparring, how can they ever really test their theories of what they practice? I want to learn Aikido (Aikibudo more specifically), so I’m just merely curious–not a nay-sayer, heheh–.
meee tooo… i’ve been out for 5 years now
