srtzui says: the girls are good
SithV1 says: Aikido is a good Martial Art system for women.
Darktician says: Aikido can be effectively used by anyone, because it relies on the enemy’s strength rather than the users strength. It’s literally the combat art of physics.
Meadras says: I agree – I, at least, think that the Aikido master should fight Karate Masters with similar skill to his, instead of simply fighting lesser and younger students – I find it unfair
kensei1984 says: Well, girth is not really an indicator of skill, but I do agree that its sad that some of these guys just let themselves go.
sebargentino says: not ffor women only, but iit will follow you the rest of your days, not like other martials arts. learn before you speack
Kinghercules says: 38 dans!!! WTF? how?
lagook says: sorry i think i will use jujitsu till the end of my days also
lagook says: hmmz my sensei has 13 hahaha 8 jujitsu and 5 karate….. 38 is just insanity
compsog9845 says: check out ‘mind body kick ass moves – Okinawan karate’

compsog9845 says: its a shame they took the first part of this episode off youtube i liked it better when oshiro was trianing with his student.
compsog9845 says: i do love aikido, very effective. and the traditional techniques and spirit is a beautiful thing
acquiesce100 says: Why dont the bbc make more programs like this!
sraddawa says: How can these people call themselves Buddhists when they consume alcohol???????
schmidtgm says: alcohol is ok if you aren’t a monk – i have a problem with eating live lobsters
sraddawa says: Sorry my friend if you are a buddhist you have to take the five precepts which are non-violence,not to steal,avoid sexual misbehaviour,avoid false speech and avoid intoxicants.Monks have to follow 10 precepts
sraddawa says: Buddhists are very rare in todays world there only exists people who label them selves as Buddhist as if it’s some fashion.Diamonds are rare my friend
sraddawa says: Diamonds are rare my friend
hellzblade44 says: How come aikido and karate and kung fu some of the most deadly martial arts are not used in MMA fighting? Because they are not that great anymore. Sure they worked when they were on the battlefield and used martial arts killing techniques but nowadays….simply usless apart from mental and spiritual aspects.
Wolfsbane909 says: hellzblade, u do not understand aikido thats why u are ignorant of it. Go watch more MMA and try and your take down on me charge at me full force and I will just not resist aganist you but rather blend with you “tenkan” out of the way and give you an extra little shove to push you into that wall. So you will charge full force head on into the wall all by yourself! Now thats Aikido kid!! watch MMA “sport” its not an Martial Art kid
hellzblade44 says: Obviously you do not understand jui jutsu. Why would i just run and charge at you full force? Also i have watched tons and tons of aikido videos and you know what they never show? Somebody really good at punches trhowing punches….you know what i do see is retardards running at the aikido master and trying to grab him…So being as punches move to fast for any of that fancy moving and using the opponents energy against them nonsense aiko does not work in real fights just the dojo.
Wolfsbane909 says: well u would be very surprised next time u witness a street brawl with two drunk idiots check out to see if they are holding each other, most of the time they grab & pound. There have been instances where guys twice my size try to “tackle” and take me down, I just give’em my hand and swing them or flip’em depending on how they tackle. The “Takedown” is an MMA move, love for them to try that on me, requires little effort or strength on my part to flip’em. u forget minor shinners in Aikido 2 stun!
hellzblade44 says: um no. what about muay thai,karate,boxing,kenpo sorry man but it is called MMA becuase there are so many martial arts people use.
rangerman012 says: I see alot of arms out there…hmm lucky bujinkult isn’t here to see this or bujincant, theres alot of the art of the arm out on this vid. No offense to Aikido, I was just making a statement, I like Aikido.
