I think the …
I think the instructor need to work on saying less “ahmmm” …very distracting when you are trying to concentrate on the talk of discipline… Instructor should have talked about his interactions with senior black belt to give his good side..if he does become a little casual with them..

Your defense is …
Your defense is only as good as how you are attacked in practice. Aikido would be so much better with realistic attacks. I know its a training method, but for demos, doing it on someone less compliant is more impressive. Great video nonet heless.

I just have to say even thought you learn one style you can still be a excellent fighter without learning other styles but that is my two cents

Aikido is not a …
Aikido is not a combat sport, like most other martial arts. Agatsu or self victory is important to people who strive to follow the way you can’t learn agatsu if you are constantly thinking about victory over others. victory over others is not the true purpose of martial arts, in the ring maybe it is for many martial artists thats true. when you are in a ring there are rules,there is a winner and a loser. that’s what makes it at that point a combat SPORT. Budo is more than just winning.

This course for foreign students would make a really good one hour documentary. The basic story is really interesting (pity about the little British/Asian instructor who is a real knob)

Each and every …
Each and every martial art is incomplete. If you adopt a single style, you are an incomplete fighter. If someone in aikido is more experienced than someone in jiu jitsu/karate/judo or vice versa then the more experienced one will win.
Now if we compare skill of a style with both opponents at same experience level. Both opponents will score strikes where the other martial art is weak. That is what i learn’t from my sensei who is primarily a karateka.

You should do a …
You should do a follow up and see where some of these guys are. Did any of them drop out? Who perservered? Things like that.
Thanks for posting this video as well as all the other videos which you have posted. I appreciate it as I know others do.

Out of your …
Out of your collection, this one has always been my favorite. It’s great if you could expand it to a full half hour (an episode) on Shenshusei alone.

Yeah, sure Aikido …
Yeah, sure Aikido was develped to help promote a “non-violent nature” – that’s why the Tokyo riot police use it . . . to help promote a non-violent nature in the rioters by submitting them.

Several of …
Several of kyokushin offsprings like shidokan include head punches as well as throws and stuff. I just think that Aikido is simply not good enough to be taken as a “defense” martial art. If you like it that is fine, you have your opinion and are entitled to it. As a fan of martial arts competition, Aikido ranks low in the charts. And even though the street scenario may not be common, I do believe in being able to step into a ring and being able be victoriuos. That’s my opinion.

If they are …
If they are enjoying what they are doing and feel they are getting something out of it why would you bother to make these negative comments. This mythical “streetfight” scenario is truly strange since 99% of martial artist probably never use their training in the “street”. Real street fightersgenerally have no martial arts training, and if they do, its normally boxing. Kyokushin would be particularly problematic because of its lack of punching head attacks or defense against a head attack.

Very few of us…if …
Very few of us…if we are lucky…will ever have to defend our lives or well being in a fight. In modern time the study of a martial art has to go beyond that basic thought.
For example, Aikido was developed to help to promote a non-violent nature.
Let’s face it: a handgun is probably better than 99.9% of martial arts to protect yourself. It has to be about more than that.

Do you know …
Do you know anything about the history of Moriei and Aikido? It is kind of funny you mention the word “cult”. It is strangely appropriate. Rite of Passage is any life experience desinged to change you profoundly. Hard high school, bootcamp, intense survival training, and the senshusei program all qualify as “rites of passage”. End of story?? I don’t know.

I’ve got high rank in jujitsu and judo. I took Aikido and found that it is much more effective at fighting with multiple opponents. Jujitsu is terrible for multiple opponents but maybe better in some ways vs a single opponent. Which is better, it depends. Attila
