Very little circular movement!

[@matkasim]

this technique is effective if the attacker commits to the attack. if the attacker pulls back n attacke again , then its a different technique

[@H4I2I2EE]

+matkasim Which technique? He showed more than one.

[@Azurel777]

+H4I2I2EE Does not matter, a knife attack is near impossible to evade. The problem lies in the nature of the attack, where the victim is unaware of the situation and the attacker stabs several times in short succession. Best defense against a bladed weapon is to run away.

[@H4I2I2EE]

+Azurel777 Right, but running away is when you ARE aware and have a choice.

[@goxssu]

very good.

[@countsmyth]

This doesn't look like classic Aikido, where is all the circular movement?

[@jba.9385]

These are the fast versions of the throws, but they are normal aikido technics too
