Aikido That Works – Self Defense Aikido

Many people say that Aikido doesn’t work and it’s not true. It’s only that many Aikido techniques are only principles that should be connected together in a different way.

Very informative!! Do more videos about more combative Aikido. I enjoy the way you maintain the essence of the art. Thank you sensei.

Sensei can you make a video about small areas like elevator etc, somewhere we may not take a step… Great video by the way!

You share a key to understanding how any martial art must be applied to real-world situations. That is, we practice our techniques (be they katas or wazas, etc., or simply punching and kicking drills, holds, take-downs etc.) in order to learn principles and develop dexterity in applying them. Then, in an actual self-defense situation, you don't worry about the techniques– you just apply the principles that you learned by practicing the techniques. It flows naturally without having to stop and think about which techniques are needed in response to whichever attacks are begin made upon you (the principle of "no mind").

In this way, Aikido can be just as practical or valuable as any other martial art when it comes to self-defense. To look at it from another perspective, EVERY martial art can ONLY be applied to actual combat in this way. It's a matter of applying the principles one learns during practice.

Yes, that's what people should do, just go on and not wait, especially if the opponent have weapon. The longer we wait the more risky it become. If see opponent have weapon just beat them. It is because human nature, no one will attack if they are not confident, means when they attack they are sure they will hurt us, so if we wait they have time to think and calculate, they will also fishing and making fake attacks until they see opening or they will go berserk. We will get scared, being too careful, get worried and panic. So just beat them without looking at their weapon. That's the only way.

I learned this martial in the video, having that concept

Patrick Duguay says:

What style of aikido is this? I've been doing yoshinkan for many years now and am interested in how different it is

dynamic1 says:

My biggest criticism in Aikido for Self-Defense demonstrations is always the footwork of the attacker. Many techniques will be far less effective if the Uke isn't taking a huge lunge step forward. When contact is made at 5:30, he is literally standing on one foot.

Matthew Kuba says:

I would like more vidoes like this.

3sweetguy says:

I'm training in aikido this is my 7 months in it. I like it. could you make more videos like this to give more I ideas of self aikido like hook or straight punch. is you saying that you have to attack your opponent before they fully get into Thier attacks.

Sandooo says:

That was a very good video. Its just lik a said before. Aikido works but you need to make it work. And not long and complicated movements.
