very well executed. You have wonderful dojo Aikido skills. I can see you are well trained and have these technique ingrained in you. wonderful flow with your technique. So it's been 7 years now. Are you still training and what Dan are you now?
I can see how this works against weapons as uke would be insanely concerned with losing their weapon and so their focus becomes 1 directional. I can also see how this would work wonderfully as the first step in a protocol for bodyguards or doormen as it also relies on gentle application and the element of surprise. However in all respect that's where the line is drawn and other much more aggressive martial arts should take over and if kazushi in general is of interest to you then this can be fine tuned with Aikido. Or perhaps in a combative situation it's the cherry on the cake as people tire and slow down you can be more economical with your movements OR you've tied them up enough to quickly break a wrist................... Oh and torture! Yes a lot of practitioners enjoy showing neophytes how painful pressure points and joint locks are.......... Cross discipline bashos definitely see a lot of this. Aikido isn't so bad I guess....... but all aikidoka in Japan are well versed in judo to get rid of their blind spots.
Some of it was a little sloppy, but there were also some quite technical throws in there that I wouldn't have expected for shodan. The "self-defence" stuff at the end was probably the weakest part - particularly the lack of atemi-waza.
Aikido can work but only if you train in ways that are more practical. If it is not practical no matter how long you train and how high of a ranking you get it wont get any better. you will only get better within your own type of training and attacking. This is now to say anything bad for the person who is testing he is just doing what he is taught. Also, each person must ask thems selves what it is that they want out of their particular martial art and then find it.
+lupash Yes, true. But in this case Ian had earned a junior black belt (for kids under 16) before qualifying for his adult Shodan test. His hakama came from that earlier rank.
Why does the person who takes the examination wear hakama? If that person has not got the shodan rank yet, why he takes shodan examination wearing hakama?
It's a good question. This dojo has a kids ranking system, and Ian earned his hakama as a "junior black belt." It's hard to see, but his black belt actually has a white strip along its length to distinguish it from a true, adult black belt rank. This test is for adult shodan, and Sensei gave him permission to wear his hakama for the exam.
Forgive my ignorance, but I cannot see the practical applications of this in a real fight. Some of the throws and many of the locks look great! I just don't see anyone flipping over their own wrists all too often. I'm sure there is much more to this beautiful art than what I am projecting here, but for one such as myself, I see no practical application of this art outside of competition. Could any practitioner of this art please briefly explain what exactly forces the opponent to flip in the manner in which they do (outside of preventing injury.) Again no disrespect, I am just ignorant to this particular style and seek enlightenment.
to understand aikido first of all you should try it... anyway, when you practice with your partner (uke) you have to perfectly complete the movement...only when you have mestered it you can use that tecnique as a real "martial art"...here comes the "Martial" and dangerous aspect ... and i guarantee you is a totally different thing... greets from rome ;)
TJ -- Thanks you for your inquiry. I do not practice aikido; I am only a father of children who do and have observed closely for over a decade. There are many who are more qualified than I am to answer you, (like Federico Gher, above). But let me add my two cents. First of all, aikido is foremost a practice and a way of life, viewing the world and its inevitable conflicts as opportunities to blend, change perspective, and stay safe. There are no "competitions" in rtaditional aikido -- it is counter to the philosophy. That said, aikido is also a *martial* art. To practice does require the compliance of a willing partner -- the uke -- but it also, in its pure form, represent a very powerful form of defense. As an observer (not a practitioner), I believe it is only when one is truly advanced that it can be effective against a skilled attack. But at that stage it can be devastating. The "flipping over their own wrists" and other similar moves are real enough. Much of the flipping, rolling and other actions of the uke as a result of the technique are in fact skills in and of themselves, protecting the uke from the power of the techniques and the damage they can do. The energy generated by as simple put well-executed spinning move can easily dislocate shoulders, break arms, etc. Police and the military use techniques derived from aikido. Watching two advanced practitioners "go at it" is a truly impressive site. I hope you continue to be intrigued and look more into this beautiful art. Best wishes.
Your ignorance is forgiven. You are correct people would not really roll like that, unless they know to do it. If they don't roll or flip with the movement it can result in serious injury for the partner being thrown. You need to remember this is training. What good is getting injured when practicing? Their ability to fall and roll softly is a skill in and of itself. I don't do Aikido but I do Systema and it is a heavily similar to aikido in this way.
The attacker, called uke, takes ukemi. Most people only know ukemi as taking falls, but it's much more than that. Without proper ukemi, or going with the flow, you can never do the counter techniques, called kaeshi waza, required for the later dan tests. The roll of the uke is to constantly try to stay balanced and always return back to attack, if there is no technique applied. Uke only takes a fall, because it's an agreement, but you never give up. Bad ukemi is when the attacker is out of balance before nage has even initiated the balance break and uke falls like a sack of potatoes. Taking high break falls is fun, so a nice nage will give uke some extra room when throwing, kotegaeshi for example. A proper kotegaeshi leaves no time or room for break falls.
This is a joke. I understand they are practicing technique here, but for instance any of the moves past 2:00 the opponent would be just laying there flat on belly? I'm sorry, but practice or not, I did not see one move that the aikido practitioner would be able to obtain on me knowing jiu jitsu.

Excellent job! Very good skills. Thank you for sharing this.
Well done, Ian. Very impressive.
Congratulations!
Well done! Very strong techniques - Bravo!
Very good evolution the fight at the end, take into account mma, and mix it with aikido. That's the good way. Bravo.
this guy is good . . . very well performed
It's also good that most of the Uke are bigger than Tori
Great video
pretty damn good Aikido. Good job
I really like that technique at 6:09 and the variation starting at 6:35 are beautiful...much nicer with an ankle block
EXENTE VIDEO, MUY BUENA TECNICA DEL ASPIRANTE A SHODAN, DOMO ARIGATO GOZAIMASHTA.
very well executed. You have wonderful dojo Aikido skills. I can see you are well trained and have these technique ingrained in you. wonderful flow with your technique. So it's been 7 years now. Are you still training and what Dan are you now?
These are the questions haha
Great job. What style of Aikido is this?
That's a good cardio workout for sure.
Right? I do bjj and the reps look tiring
The original Uke is very talented

Bayıldım. Mükemmel.
why the whole vid in slow motion
is this aikikai? what's the move at 16:50 that looks like a double leg takedown?
Aiki otoshi
Good job, kid.
Very nice exam

Hanmi hanmi hanmi... :)
What is the style of this Aikido?
It is called Tenzan Aikido: tenzanaikido.com. It was deeloped by Bruce Bookman Sensei.
Aikido can work but only if you train in ways that are more practical. If it is not practical no matter how long you train and how high of a ranking you get it wont get any better. you will only get better within your own type of training and attacking.

The hakama should come with the black belt, not before.
+lupash Yes, true. But in this case Ian had earned a junior black belt (for kids under 16) before qualifying for his adult Shodan test. His hakama came from that earlier rank.
+hannahhoang fair enough
This is true in some affiliations. This is not true in some affiliations.
It depends on the dojo and teacher. Some allow the hakama even as a white belt.
prior to the war, O'Sensei insisted everyone wear hakama, even beginners. this was changed when the war made hakama and materials too expensive.
Why does the person who takes the examination wear hakama? If that person has not got the shodan rank yet, why he takes shodan examination wearing hakama?
It's a good question. This dojo has a kids ranking system, and Ian earned his hakama as a "junior black belt."

I dont know that any of this would help in a real fight but I guess for the art. Seems a bit pointless 😕

Eu concordo totalmente com você!!
