yes people tend to forget the principles of aikido in a street fight when they get scared. but not everybody has power. so training always to use the principles of aikido in the streets under fear, stress and pressure might be the answer.

As a female, 5"2", 125lbs., who practices Aikido, promoting to 3rd kyu; I'm thinking of adding weight training and Boxing to my skills, so that I would have a bit more strength over the unknown. Definittely want to gain more solid muscle to my small frame to reduce injury. However, speed and mental flexibility is a given. My Sensei says, learn proper technique before speed and flexibility before strength...

The downside of aikido is that it takes many years to be able to do it effortlessly and without thought. However, to think that techniques are important in a fight don't worry. They aren't. There is no time to think. your body needs to know what to do without thinking. So they are building blocks as part of "building the body". I would recommend doing something else to keep in shape and learn to hit. If you forever hit but not hit as it is training then you can do the same when needed. If boxing or karate allows you to actually punch pads or bags then that is good. I did a bit of both myself. Also boxers give you a good idea as to how a competent fighter may move. If anyone believes that one martial art style is better than another then grow up. People fight people, not styles. they are all devised by humans with the same strengths and limitations. They vary to the untrained eye but in reality they are just following different paths up the same mountain

One word for those that tend to forget the principles of combat, "Breathe". Breathing properly will keep you grounded enough to be effective in combat. Career soldiers have a breathing drill for everything, including shooting weapons. Yes, strength always comes into play. Having a good strength to bodyweight ratio should be encouraged because you need to be agile and strong enough to build a good kinetic chain. It should be emphasized however that you don't necessarily need to be a body builder to be effective in combat. A moderate strength to bodyweight ratio will give you enough power to strike vital areas effectively and allow you enough freedom of movement to apply techniques.

Awesome video, makes total sense when it comes to Aikido. People that say Aikido is useless don't know the first thing about it's capabilities, however, just like on this video, Aikido needs to be used with a common sense of what you are facing in a street situation for instance. Also movement is the outmost important, you can't stand right in front of the attack and expect it to come exactly as you want, move, circle , and find the opportunity to be able to apply a technique, whether is grabbing a wrist or get a take down, etc. Excellent video, Aikido does work, but you have to make it work for you.

Judo players, wrestlers, rugby forwards, doormen - they've got that "drive forward tire flipping" thing going, and when the initial flurry of punches has happened and it has turned into a "handfuls of clothing and hair while snarling" event that ability is very useful. Driving someone backwards means they can't plant their feet and produce power through rotation. They go down and you're on top. They get whacked up against bollards, cars and the like. When it goes ballistic sixteen stone of rugby forward is more of a problem than the theory might suggest.

Also, be aware that you do not know if the attacker is trained in some kind of martial art or if they're not so to me you should treat every threat as if it is the most dangerous and be able to use Aikido to full effectiveness.

It's true that O'Sensei was very strong when he was young, however by the time he was an old man he was weak (he said this himself) yet he could still perform incredible feats. Regardless of his strength, he was still a short man, the type of people he was known to overwhelm, like large sumo wrestlers, had to have been stronger than him, yet he could beat them easily. Ueshiba was also known for telling his students NOT to engage in weight lifting, the kind of skill Ueshiba developed had little to do with his strength.

No, but that doesn't mean he wasn't strong...He often contradicted himself and said the opposite at times so don't take everything you hear and read as gospel...

Most of the time his students couldn't make what the hell he was on about when he came out with all the mundo jumbo from his belief in Omoto Kyo... His teacher and many of his brethren in Daito Ryu aiki jujutsu were just as skillful as him and probably more so, but you never heard about them....

Power is proporcional of force that you use to block, hit or absorb the opponent. So F=m.a More acceleration, more velocity you can have in final strike, and, of course, more Force. The mass is not so different about many guys, the difference is not so much. If someone gain mass, maybe his loose acceleration. In the final, who understand the balance between mass and speed will gain the advantage in fight. Use your total body to gain mass and speed...
@markyarbrough5511
2 жыл бұрын
There is also the issue of precision. Combined with speed as you rightly put forward force depends less on mass necessarily than on velocity, the vital targets are not fist or foot or cranium sized but smaller. A master depends on getting just the mass necessary to just the location necessary at the proper time and speed. Any school yard bully can bash or throw weight around, but an effective Aikido master can prevail using less force more precisely because of superior knowledge and skill and lightening quickness. That is what study of these things is about. A battle axe can be devastating but a master with a bamboo reed could end a duel with speed and precision and has the advantage of not having to accelerate a great mass to reach a target. Brute force is absolutely the lowest crudest aspect of fight mastery. But whatever. Meatheads are going to think their thick skulls and bulky frames make them invulnerable to skilled surgically precise application of minimum necessary force. Some know better. And avoid brawling because not using what you know can get you hurt or killed and using it can get someone else hurt or killed. Either way such peril is best avoided in almost every scenario, and why Aikido teaches circuitous counters and dynamic skilled redirection of force as opposed to reflexive oppositional force and attack, as well as deep spiritual respect for human frailty and a holistic understanding of existence and ultimate reality. Only with full appreciation of all these angles of self defense in which the definition of self extends even to an opponent and beyond to all living things and systems does one achieve ultimate fighting form and ability, at which stage the idea of fighting itself becomes superfluous and ridiculous, like a nonsensical joke or koan. What this video is teaching is about one percent Aikido and 99 percent degradation of the form. Dangerous simplistic corruption of the art form for goals in direct opposition to the intent of the creator, because of moral crassness, laziness, and lack of care and discipline. Maybe I am being too harsh. I am giving this channel a few more chances before I unsub in disgust. I dont dislike the gentlemen and I ardently hope I am just having a bad reaction to a couple of videos which rub me the wrong way as a devotee of the spiritual ground upon which this martial system is based and which is amazingly powerful as a transformative and practical system of defense of peace and justice and human survival in world where our capability of violence could spell extinction in dozens of ways. We either evolve spiritually or continue to bash each other and the game ends. In this context what does self defense training really mean if not training our selves to move beyond violence as solutions to our conflicts. The path to a better way depends on each of us deciding to take the steps and keep on moving towards it. But it comes down to choices large and small and attitudes developed with care, or just falling into familiar patterns and inertia leading to decay. Sorry for the venting.

There is a difference between strength and power. One could argue it's beneficial to engage in body building because then you'll always have the advantage against smaller and weaker people. It's a sound logic, but especially for someone like me who you could call an 'ectomorph', no matter how much strength training I engage in, there will ALWAYS be people who will be stronger. If the best way to defend yourself was to just become super strong, we wouldn't have bothered inventing martial arts. Power is important, but the type of power used in Aikido and other martial arts has little to do with strength and size.

Love the video, love your style, but I strongly disagree. In aikido, every bit of power you use, is the proof of something you are not doing right. The first one, thinking that your strikes will improve if you get stronger. Technique is the only thing that is going to make your punches stronger. Boxers can lose their power when they go up in weight if the don't learn how to use all that new mass. But I don't think speed is the answer either. The key is timing and technique (that you need to make both, one inseparable thing). If your technique goes out of the window in a stressful situation, you are not interiorizing it enough. Bruce Lee said "I'm not the one punching, my fist is the one punching" (or something like that), meaning that his fist acts on his own, without him giving the order, that is a fancy way to describe conditioned reflexes, but that's the key. If your technique goes out of the window you have not conditioned your reflexes. And I've said nothing about using actual aikido techniques, those are for special occasions. Remember O Sensei's saying "Aikido is irimi, irimi is atemi". So forget shihonage, and punch your way out of there. All the above said with all due respect, and being just my humble opinion. Very well chosen topic, kudos for that.

Power is mainly good for big damage or to overcome a sticky situation where you dont see a technical way in or out. But true power does not come from your strength, it comes from proper techniques with good situational awareness and perfect timing. Martial arts in general are designed to overcome strong opponents without using strength as a 1 priority and when your head shuts off because of fear you need to learn to fight naturally without thinking to much and let your training shine. If you know 1000 ways to destroy a person you are still only going to need 1 successful technique to gain your advantages for follow ups. Strenghts has it's uses too but dont waste it. Fight smarter not harder.

You're just not listening... the guy is saying that all the "perfect technique timing blablabla" you're told in the dojo just fades away in a real situation of agression, things happen fast, many factors come in line, fear, adrenalin, surprise factor etc, so, most of the time, you just don't have the time for the "perfect technique and timing stuff", but only to do the most basic things, hence the need of raw power to put an end to the situation as fast as possible... that's why Krav-Maga took some stuff from Aikido, but made it way more straightforward...

Becoming good enough at Aikido that you use it on instinct is HARD. True aikido requires almost *NO* physical strength: it uses the movement of the other person. On the other hand, it is much easier to block and punch someone.

Different things come to mind when people use the word, "Power", but the most common meaning ascribed to the word is "Force". Speed also has different meanings ascribed to the word, "Speed", the most common is Physical Speed. For those who cannot see anything beyond those two definitions, they will discover them if they become PHYSICALLY compromised through Age or Infirmity, and if that is the case,.ALL of the Time and Effort put into their study and practice will produce a temporary at best. There is so very much more to this than most realize. If anyone wants Knowledge, they have to drop their pre-conceived notions about their area of interest and when applied to the Martial Arts, for example, this means LOSING their Martial Arts Mentality!

Exactly. When I trained aikido everybody had strong talks about how you do not need power, and I was not able to persuaded somebody about opposite. WTF? How you want to fight somebody without it? Clearly physically: if you want to change direction of the object which is in the move you need sufficient power to do so. Yes technic can help, but power is still present. We want it or not.

Power is coming from the hip not from the arms😉 I do not agree that there is a such need of power, but the propre use of absorption or enter as mentioned on the vidéo. Also, I understand that aïkido is about harmony with the opponent, so promoting power against an opponent is a bit weird, isn't it ?

Very strange, talking about power with Aikido? But you can go combative with using some principles

The answer is different for each fighter. You must look at the man saying power is important to him when he fights. He's a stocky guy. He might move fast, but there's some ertia/inertia he overcomes when shifting his weight around. Due to a big torso and wide shoulders, his arms don't have great reach. He's at best average height, again a reach disadvantage. For him, power IS critical. He has to be able to absorb incoming hits more often than some other fighters. This is part of his technique; it's suited to his frame. Strength training for him is critical. I am slightly tall, all of it in my legs. I have no reach with my hands, but long legs give me good kicking range and allow me to change my position vertically. It's easier for me to get a knee under my opponent's leg to remove their balance, relative to another person trying the same technique. I am very good at throwing a knee upward in a clinch, since i have both the range of long thigh bones and short arms to clinch well without someone grabbing and controlling one of my arms. Power is not effective at all for me, because my center of balance is too high and my weight is not significant enough to absorb a heavy blow. For me, range control (kicks to provoke close range, then short arms to work well inside) and stamina/conditioning are critical -- I have to move with incoming attacks rather than resisting them, and always change my position so that I'm an awkward target. Do I lose in a clinch if I can't use my knees? Yes I do. That's how I'm built.

Works very nicely in a controlled and safe situation, when the attacker throws one punch and let's you do the rest. In real life nasty fights it simply does not work. I have worked on the doors and trained at The Infamous Takushoku Diagaku in Tokyo (for four years). To a certain extent,it's about power/speed etc....to me they taught me Seishin....Spirit. No disrespect to the gentleman who posted this video.

You guys are heading into clickbait territory. That said, neither speed nor power are important long term. Power will overcome a lot, but is is fleeting. You'll always see there is someone out there with more power than you - for now. And they too will be overpowered soon enough. Speed is somewhat more important than power because speed can survive over a longer time, but again, it is simply a cover for bad technique. What is most important is *timing* and *technique*. Those two will serve for life.

The problem is that people will abuse it. America is a perfect example with the "stand your ground law". Im just saying that guns tend to kill people, Aikido is made to not kill anybody, but to disabling. The idea of having a gun sounds brilliant, because you can protect yourself with something reliable, that does not need much strength to use it. But i would rather not kill anybody and use other more humane solutions as martial arts to end a fight peaceful, than having to pull out a gun.

just like aikidoflow, who has never said who his sensai is/was, most of you are confused.... after reading aloooooot of the comments, it is clear to me that most do not understand.... what you see in videos is aikido practice, exercises, feel the flow... in real life situation aikido is a lot different, combat aikido has no spins and turns, it goes directly for the break of joints.... your wrist is gone in 2 seconds, your wrist is strong you gonna get your elbow torn apart, you force after that shoulder is popping out with last control...... say irimimage goes in, better not pop your head against the floor, cause its an instant KO, ppl see aikido and think its a lot of moving around.... higher levels practice "judo like" throws, it is not throws above the head/shoulders, but hip throws,end of the day dude is going head first into pavement.... the question is not if it works or not, the question is can you perform it or not....

Power and speed are the same thing. Power is strength with regard to speed. If you bench 300 lbs. slowly, that is strength. But, if you can explode the 300 lbs. off your chest that is power. Look up the definition.

That's a fantasy, in nearly 100% cases of agression, the agressor doesn't have any martial background, we're not talking about "fights" (= two people face to face expecting the other to fight back, with some kind of sportsmanship), but about self-defense, you have a blink of an eye to react, you must be simple as possible, forget the technique and go straight to the point, it's a matter of life and death, not a showcase...
