The old jap guy was cool the bloke attacking went for it an the old guys form was not super smooth just like when you fight it dont look pretty.Unlike most of the aikido on youtube thats so perfect to watch.
umm, only 2 aikido styles? WTF mate, there are many styles, the two main ones are aikikai and yoshinkan. Tomiki aikido has lost connection with the rest of aikido.
One benefit of globalization as such is that people interested in something can explore it that much more thoroughly, where before someone would train in a specific style and that’s it, quite often; today one can find aspects of many and put together what works physically, emotionally, and spiritually for them. So it ends up more and more Sensei’s are teaching from a place of having learned one thing as a base (like aikido) and little bits of other things they’ve picked up along the way.
I think what he meant was that the Tomiki sport Aikido ,not Aikido as a whole, indirectly arose out of America’s defeat of Japan. Their mindset about martial arts, which they believed encouraged militaristic behavior, was changed by this event.
YOshinkan aikido was my basics , but then the Teachers that i trained with afterwards where from a Shodokan school, but i must say Yoshinkan even though its abit agressive, it gave me good posture and stance, then Shodokan gave me gracefulness and dynamic flow
i really dissagre that competition was alien to japanese martial art.
Infact competition is high in battle wich the japanese are experts in tactical and physical warfare and battle.
Competition is a safe way to exercise war, and i believe that there were competition in japanese martial art way way before any american conflict.
We must not undererstimage the old ancient japanese culture wich contained exempelary ways of battle, competition and physical training and etiquette. surpasing any othe
To say that aikido is a sport is like saying that peace is war, one of the thoughts of the founder of aikido, Morihei Ueshiba was that the competition brings rivalry and envy which takes to many other evils which we see on a daily basis, when in fact the objective of aikido is to bring peace harmony and is this why in the traditional form of aikido there are no competition, and seems an insult to the memory of the founder who to only scatter the thought of non-violence, harmony and peace
an Aikido match is Shinbu Shobu…a match with live blades.
actully O sensei changed his Budo,when he broke the hip of a Judoka who challegened him….the guy retired from martail traing…which really saddened O sensei.
you cannot train the mind of …he is alreadly struck when he thinks attack in a compitition.

But all aikido styles is almost the same
not even close my friend, yes they’re in the same branch but there are big philisophical and technical differences between them.
Ok. Sorry. I have only trained aikido in a half year
what style?
? I dont know. But the aikido style i train is yoshinkan, Shoji Nishios aikido and shodokan aikido in one aikido style

i do aikikai, it is effective but takes a while to learn and getting comfortable to do.
it is not a good documentary
it says aikido is a sport then it says its a way of life
he fails , because tomiki and aikido are different.
Aikido still is a martial art ..
also he made it sound as if america was responsible for aikido , wich its deffinetly not , its irrevelance.
The documantary sais that america is responsible for turning martial arts in to sports it doesn’t say it’s responsible for aikido
I think what he meant was that the Tomiki sport Aikido ,not Aikido as a whole, indirectly arose out of America’s defeat of Japan. Their mindset about martial arts, which they believed encouraged militaristic behavior, was changed by this event.
i agree, this documentry is suckey
yuck! 9:20

Cool Video !!!
what??
um…no…Aikido has none because it is a Budo.
compition is a game.with rules.
Budo there are no rules.
an Aikido match is Shinbu Shobu…a match with live blades.
actully O sensei changed his Budo,when he broke the hip of a Judoka who challegened him….the guy retired from martail traing…which really saddened O sensei.

O sensei was the real deal.Shinbu in this world.
I didn’t knew about the judoka and I really get ur point
you are totally right about the purpose and spirit of Aikido.
Aikido just looks like people throwing THEMSELVES around to me! Kendo is, without a doubt, a sport.
@anilsahal lol…well yeah, but it only LOOKS like that…
@anilsahal : You should go to an Aikido dojo an see what happens if you dont fall.
