WHO WON?! 🤔

Karate of course
I've practiced Aikido for a couple of year, I've worked as a security guard and i have to say I am pleased how handy it has been. The less brutal force really comes in handy when you only want to subdue an opponent with minimal force. This drastically minimizes courtruns as well.
This video does not take into account the fact that aikido was purposely built to NOT hurt your opponent. Of course it's not going to be "effective" or "brutal".
Must've been at a half decent aikido school then if you were able to actually apply anything
@@emremokoko definitely agree, as you see when it comes to disarming and opponent aikido was a clear winner. If brutality was the goal Rokas just has to add a tiny bit more at the end of each attack where he breaks the opponents arm...
@@robertrichard2322 or at the beggining with atemis that dedtabilize the oponent
Aikido is for babies
If you’re getting attacked by Oliver, you’re immediately in a VERY bad situation 😂👏
Luckily he’s the last person who will ever attack you! ☺️
Truth
Sensei Seth be funny asf 😂
Very true. :)
you should get your Dojo storming battle armor ready
I have to say, the Aikido movements were so beautiful, natural, and fluid. Also less injury, strain, and not even out of breath. One clear winner to me across the board and I wanna learn more.
Aikido is ussles in real life 😂
@@miroslavjovic7739 I don't remember asking your approval. You're no one to me so gfy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@miroslavjovic7739 As a personw ho trains karate kiyokushin i find ur comment a real W 🍷🗿
Natural would mean resistance, which there is none here.
I've used Aikido a few times in real life and it's surprising the non-fighting situations it comes in handy. Few months ago I used an iriminage on a kid while roller skating. At high speed this kid turned straight at me and collided with me. Kid was heading for a concussion so I used an iriminage move to safely take him to the ground. The way I do that move I can actually get under the head and back to protect their landing. Then helped the kid up and sent him on his way... in the correct direction ;)
“Suddenly my whole life flashed before my eyes!” The reoccurring bit was so hilarious. 😂 Really enjoyed this video.
After many years of martial arts practicing, world wide experience and deep analysis And study of the human anatomy, I think the Camara Girl won.... Hands down
never get into a fight :v
I must agree the girl filmed it VERY WELL
Agreed..😄 🦋💜🦋
1st rule of fighting: Don't get into a fight🤺.
@@filmfelineadmin ya yah..😎👌
It's been a while since I had so much fun filming a video! Thanks for the amazing experience Jesse! (and Oliver for being the best street thug ever)
Domo arigato!
That was fun to watch
Thank you for making this happen 😍🙏
Hilarious.
Respect.
I'm a karate nerd but massive respect to the quick effectiveness of Aikido. It's like with ippons in Karate, sometimes you just need to get the attacker on the ground as quickly as possible. Mad respect guys
They often said that Aikido is more the soft one, but that depends on the one who using it against a opponent. You can easily pop off the shoulder or the arms of your opponent if you use a little bit more force and momentum, some older Akikdokas used also punches to distract the opponent before throwing or moving him to the ground.
I was more impressed with Aikido, honestly. I keep hearing all the time how "useless" it is, but it seems really graceful and defended against all types of attack very elegantly, without risking injury for both people. I am impressed. In a streetfight, you don't need to kill your opponent, just put him out of the way in order to not be a threat. Seems aikido is fine, perhaps people in MMA underrate it because they need to submit/KO people more.
Nobody has ever "killed" his attacker doing karate😂
then go learn aikido and try to use it in friendly sparing against mma guy and see how it works.. (keep in mind that in this video aikido guy knew in advance what is opponent going to do, and opponent cooperated, not trying to hurt but give chance to show technique )
@@jantothorti8012karate guy also knows in advance what the opponent will do...
@@DrHelmut357 yes, that way he could cooperate and allow to demonstrate techinque. In real fight aikido is useles, karate also won't help a lot. (Although i like karate, and aikido seems relaxing, that is reality :/ )
@@jantothorti8012 I'm just one data point, but in real life, I really think applying _some_ Aikido against a somewhat drunk and very angry opponent helped me injure them less than I otherwise would have, but we "danced" for close to an hour until police arrived. I would've ran away as soon as I had him tumbling, but I was protecting someone with much shorter legs, I believe Aikido focus on redirection was also useful in "guiding" the aggressor away from a vulnerable target. That said I would not recommend _relying_ on a single style (especially an _art_ focused one) and I still believe that the best fight is a fight that didn't happen, my Sensei was very sure to drill that in.
Intro:
Jesse: bringing the Karate sharpness
Rokas: bringing the Aikido serene fluidity
Oliver: straight up bitting the shit out of the dummy
the moment I saw that, I had to pause the video to laugh xD
Accurate
Beating
The whole life flashing before you eyes bit is hilarious man, keep it up
Problem with Aikido is it has too much exaggerated movement.
In a real fight, you want to keep it simple and fast. Also Aikido barely has any strikes.
You need to train striking!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its important to learn throw hands properly
@@vipr1142 Aikido has better control of distance and posiioning though. Getting the opponent into a position where they can't attack you immediately can give you an opening to get out of the situation. Combine with parkour for added "get out of the fight" potential. Or train both and take the best of everything (like the MMA guy did)!
I took a self defense class a while back, as in nearly a decade ago. The teachers (One, an eight dan black belt of aikido, the other, merely a single dan in judo) taught us quite a few aikido moves to break grapples and turn an idiot's weapon against themselves, mixed in with some judo grabs and throws for the ones that just tried to hit us directly. The moves taken from aikido were very fluid and easy to do, and I remember one of the techniques about an overhead swing with something like a bottle where the teacher told us to walk forward at the end to avoid hurting our sparring partner, 'because in this position you can destroy the whole arm by swinging it like a sword with all your might, since they can't do the flip to avoid it. Do that in a real fight on concrete, not here.' He also advised kicking the threat in the groin once you've grabbed them and have full control over their movements, if only to make them pause so you can really put the screws in, or just applying pressure once they're falling so they can't avoid breaking their bones when they hit the ground.
Given it was a self-defense course, that wasn't the only set of encouragements to fight dirty. The one with the black belt in judo encouraged kicking downed people after a good throw so they wouldn't get back up, not holding back while throwing/folding fools, and taking the enemies weapon and hitting them with it before they can recover.
Good times.
Damn that’s a long comment
Having been exposed to both Karate and Aikido, that was actually a lot of fun! And if you're paying attention, you'll notice a LOT of overlap and shared physics. Historically, both Japanese Karate and Aikido have classical Japanese Jujitsu and Aki-jujitsu in their DNA. These are the guys who had to defend versus competent chaps with four foot razor blades, so they figured a few things out that worked, and lived to pass them on.
Suddenly, my life flashed before my eyes. Had I really wasted years practicing typing to develop my keyboard warrior skills, just to post a comment on Karate Vs. Aikido video?

HAH! 😂

If you look closely, you will see that all of karate's defence involve some sort of counter attack with punches and kicks. But aikido's responses are completely focused on subduing the opponent. It seems that aikido has special emphasis on overcoming the attacker without harming him, which I think is absolutely amazing.
That sounds really nice, but street thugs will kill you without a thought. You can't be a nice guy when some drug addict is trying to cut your balls off.
I agree
As a german, from Naumburg, a city that love aikido, i agree
@@Mr1987Joe Well you could skull stomp his ass while he is down?
No special training needed. Lol
Until they touch those pressure points..
I really like this demostration, common attacks base by real events. It's great to see your martial arts in action. Aikido is elegant and affective so suppress the opponet, Karate is power and disables your opponet. I am a Krav Maga practioner in which we practice these attacks a lot. I need to mention this, don't forget why they are attacking you. To hurt you. They are not your friends. Both martial artist finish the fight in seconds. That is what needs to take place. Great techniques by both of them.
I'm just happy to see a Karate video where someone knows how to tie their belt properly!
Thank you.
what a difference: "3 minutes warm- up." Jesse performs Kusanku, Oliver hits the sh...out from a dummy 😂😂😂😂. you guys are fantastic
And Aikido Guy peacefully prayed that he doesn’t have to face someone with any modicum of skill. 😂🤷♂️
I was positively surprised by the Aikido. Smoother and less overtly aggressive but maintained distance and great limb control. Karate would cause more damage but that is not necessarily better
Well it is. Because when your life is in danger, you don't really mind not to harm your attacker. You want to survive. Maybe more violence here will make your opponent unable to go for a second try.
@@alexdriftersupraman yes, it definitely depends on the situation and when your life is at stake I agree violent is better. However, in a lot of situations that could be too much or simply not necessary
Look up steven seagal and he will teach you how real aikido is used in effective combat.
Aikido can couse a lot more damage than you might think, because if you overdo these techniques a little more, you can easily break fingers, wrists, elbows, or dislocate the enemies shoulder. the damage that can result from this may cripple the attacker for life....
@@aufzurwahrheit no doubt bro, but as Sensei Johnny Lawrence said in Cobra Kai, sometimes the best defence is more offence.
I gotta disagree with number 5. Aikido redirected it so the momentum carried the attacker straight into the ground, but karate blocked it straight-on. If someone's going to headbutt you hard enough to knock you out, blocking like that is gonna seriously mess up your wrist.
Same with the knee to the groin. I'd far rather avoid a full-strength knee than block it. And the karate defenses all seem to assume that the strikes are effective, which is not always the case.
Absolute class, I've never laughed so much at an instructional martial arts styles comparison. Brilliant work guys keep it up.
As someone who used to train in Aikido and now currently learning karate, I feel that Aikido is more effective in situations where you want to conserve energy and subdue an opponent as quickly as possible. But karate is more effective when your life is on the line and need to be as brutal as possible.
Having trained both, it's so satisfying weaving aikido techniques into my bunkai :) Subtle adaptations here and there can make the movements so effective and open up so many more possibilities than just training in one art alone. So helpful seeing different perspectives.
Combat Sambo is the strongest, imho.
Aikido is more effective for situations where you want to lose the fight you're in.
@@homelessman3483 if you don't know how to use the technique properly.
@@joshuapooner4142 aikido doesn't work against a resisting opponent
As an Aikido practitioner, i have to respect the speed and precision of Karate. When Aikido is simple and not overly flowery, it is extremely effective. I think Aikido could benefit from the speed and precision training in Karate. Great video and nice to see insights without macho BS everywhere. Well played.
So Zen Do Kai .. ? Thoughts?
As a fellow Aikido practitioner I couldn't agree more...
@@R00RAL yes
from someone that does neither, its seems like aikido is great when you know what attack is coming, where as karate gives you the ability to react to many things, and quicker. more specifically in the case of kicks. with the low kick, the aikido guy just sidesteps because he knows a kick is coming beforehand. it seems to me like aikido might be great for stopping someone that doesn't know or who was never trained to fight from hurting you, but if you are fighting someone that has trained a lot, you may be in some trouble
It kinda seemed like he was letting the akido throws happen i dont think it would work in real life
What I like about your content is that, in the end, you know there is no "ultimate" martial art and you made a pretty good demonstration here. It's so cool to learn from other in order to improve
Nice to see sport karate do so well. The 70% attack speed helped. I always enjoy jess’ videos. Clear and informative. Thank you .
I liked how "peaceful" aikido looked compared to karate. Almost like Wing Chun. You want to get away from the fight, not necessarily incompacitate your opponent.
it's a tie anyway
Wing chun is based on nervous system "overloading". I fought wing chun guy and I went limp from the little punches and he could have easily smashed my face with an elbow
Yea right I want yall to peacefully get away from a wrestler or a boxer

Feels to me that this video tackles with humor and talent the endless / useless debate about Aikido Vs Karate or Any Martial Art Vs Any Other Martial art. I usually avoid these kind of videos because they are usually really bad, but in this case I am happy I gave it a shot. That was a fun 8 minutes and by the way, very instructive about two very different and very respectable forms of Martial Arts.
Same thinking, thanks.
This is one of your best videos. Seen 100 times but still astonishing
Hahahahaha! You guys are awesome!
Xiexie! 😁
Now imagine Ramsey Dewey attacks you on the street
@@juanc5149 Hi, I'm Ramsey Dewey. Today I will attack a man named Jesse who practiced Karate to draw out his defense mechanism.
@Counter Kidnapping I am reading this in my head in Ramsey Dewey's voice. XD
It's The Coach!
The winner was the comedy cut-scenes! Brilliant use of humour.
The differences between the two were interesting, but so were some of the similarities! Didn't expect so many of the karate moves to end with takedowns as they did. Add some strong atemi to the aikido grapples and throws and they're really not a _million_ miles apart.
There are actually a lot of takedowns in Karate. My dojo’s black belt test even has a section dedicated to takedowns
Only yesterday did I discover this channel... Opened up a lot more doors other than karate for me! Thankss
As Always Jesse, Thee Best, Most Creative video.
Love it!!
I'm a little late but this was fun!
At 6:06 showing the versatility of the front kick.
I love how you guys didn't disrespect either martial arts, while also giving great demonstrations!!
If they knew which attack comes, then test isn't fair - we don't know for sure. If you know how would someone attack you, you can do everything. In real fight you never know for sure. This is fighting about! After some experience you will intuitionally know which is opponent going to do just after looking at him. No theories will help you if you don't feel it. Also I yesterday posted comment where I told some details about MMA guy attacking with a knife. Have a nice day! :D
That was very entertaining. Good job! All 3 are very skillful 👍🏻
I learned a lot I remember my training before thanks coach.
You can tell the Aikido fighter was taking it easy, where as the Karate Sensei was more aggressive. I liked the more peaceful thought out defensive attacks from the Aikido teacher
Yes, aikido can realy hurt someone....
if i was there i will show him very agressive Aikido Stuff...or Dai To RyU Stuff(that is the Art that shoud arrived in West,but that Seagul,messed up all the stuff)....

@@AnnWahlquist hahahahahahahahahash dont be funny
I just want to appreciate the strength of straight forwardness of Karate and also the fluidity and energy redirection of Aikido.
Yes i like aikido less injuries karate is agressive
@@MariaMaria-yp5nekarate is all about making sure you don’t die, it’s not about saving both people.
@@The_real_Mr.E yea but one more thing is in a real attack with karate you could easily be taken for the attacker then with aikido like I do Ju Jitsu so I haven’t learned any of these but even in stuff like sparing it’s way easier when ur not doing stuff to just be brutal like i sometimes feel like in karate like look at some of these they just add in a strike just cuz
You both were fantastic. My brother is into both (Karate when he was younger, Aikido into adulthood) and he loves them both. I never got in, but when I'm walking around I love having him with me in case of trouble. :-) Much respect to the both of you.
Really interesting and good humoured too.
I’ve only got knowledge of Karate but if those Aikido techniques were used on someone with no knowledge of spinning and falling you could end up with serious fractures and falls onto concrete.
To be honest both approaches to defence suit different mind sets and importantly self defence and sport are two different things entirely.
I think that in Aikido, the attacker must be smart. If he isn´t, you won´t be able to do many of the techniques. Also, just like you said, if he doesn´t know how to fall and not end up in hospital it´s a pain to do something without injuring your oponent. Especially if it´s your friend and you are not supposed to hurt him :/
It's a ripe debate, which even the fighter Joe Rogan was waded into 🥋
However, if you observe police and army taking action against an opponent,
do you observe them,
punching and spin-kicking,
or...
do you see that they mostly trap opponents in arm locks and various kinds of holds?!?
Whether joe and mates like it or not, in real world use, aikido or similar are more likely to be used to control the opponent quickly, without trying to enact a martial arts movie with a minutes-long fight round 😁
@@snipelite94 That's strange because a lot of police officers train in bjj for ground control.
@@snipelite94 Street fights never take minutes. You get in a fight.....you end it as quick as possible, however possible!
@@pacifisthuman3211 Yeah, we had a student break his collarbone during randori. I blacked out during my brown belt test in aikido because I got hit in the face because I was uke
The front kick against the low kick was cool as hell. Quick and effective. Aikido looks very nice and fluid, but that kick was beautiful.
That was nice :) Thanks for this guys :)
Our pleasure!
this was one of my favourites the choreography, production and amazing humour!...Health and strength to all 🙂
I learn karate for 7 years and my dad learned aikido for 10 years.. Honestly Aikido isn't something you wanna mess with 😅 People always say aikidi practitioners philosophy are not to hurt their opponents and that's why it is useless. But my dad once said "Just break his bones if he started first" 💀
Agree
Yeah. After 10 years of practicing AiKiDo I can tell you that the philosophy is not to hurt, but that doesn't mean you "Cannot" hurt. Specially when we're talking about those hurtful locks of joints, and being able to break them.
Leo Tamaki, a French/Japanese master, says that the ancestral martial core of aikido, before Ueshiba implemented his philosophy; is essentially learning how to break the distance, find the opening, and go to the carotid with your teeth. You can see him demonstrate on the video made by GregMMA featuring him. So much for the peace stuff.
Dude my dad says the same thing
old taekwondo once said: 1 kick you died
I've practised a bit of both. I found that I used a bit of both when attacked by my fellow practitioners. For now I think my immediate reaction would be a karate defense as I had more exposure to it. I however love aikido for its laizes faire method of defense. It's like disarming an opponent and after the surprise to say to him to chill. If however in aikido you apply the technique violently, you will cause serious harm slamming the attacker to the ground and breaking wrists and joints.... but that is not the aim of aikido.
It is now
Aikido is a purely defense art ment to disarm or disable your opponent. It has no offense moves and purely relies on the opponent attacking first.
Jesse, I have to say that in all my time in karate (3 years- in the 70's) and all the videos I've watched since then, you have the most perfect and effective form I've ever seen. You probably should have won more in this video, because of your flawless incorporation of the judo and jiu-jitsu styles into your practice. Impressive.
Great content as always
Appreciate it!
I've studied Aikido for 6+ years, and have so much respect for Karate and other arts. And yes, you guys are awesome. Karate is more direct counter attack, while Aikido is deflecting neutralizing. Both are amazing. And yes, MMA is best for the octagon.
Sorry but MMA is still the best out of the cage.
With MMA I can do the same if I know how my opponent is going to attack me, but also i can fight.
@@javi6898 i think your missing the point here
@@javi6898 No it isn't. MMA is not the best in the courtroom 😂
@@rocelderamos3013 That made me crack up 😂
@@GatsbyCioffi If there's anything better than MMA, it's talk talk no jutsu or track and field. 😂
It would be interesting to see what happens if the attacks are surprise and not predefined. For a real comparison between the defensive skills of the two practitioners, no one should know in advance about the attacks. In my opinion karate is much more direct and functional as it uses simpler and more linear techniques. However, the video is very funny and well packaged. Thanks.
A good question. With many social situations (guy putting his unwanted arm around a woman's waist or shoulder), sometimes gentle techniques deal with the problem firmly without creating another problem.
@@vids595 I see..... you missed my point.
Well Jesse’s brother was 1. Acting as an “Uke” anyway: he literally went in to do one move and then stopped 2. He wouldn’t use normal street thug attacks because he’s both a trained karates and an active fighter.
I've been practicing both Aikido and Karate and most of the time Aikido is superior to Karate (or other) techniques. Aikido is all about controlling your enemy, not defeating him. This video is fun but a VERY American approach to Bushido............
@@DaisukiM if you want to control you enemy you should use wrestling or bjj not aikido
thanks, you're inspiring
ca fait du bien la bonne humeur. Merci.
I really like the smoothness of the Akido; but I also like the agressiveness of karate. Karate looks like it could really hurt a person, but Akido seems like it gives room to not hurt anyone but the potential to do so if need be; almost effortless. Man this is difficult for me. I would much rather have a combination of both. I thought this was going to be them competing against each other
This are set ups. Aikido wouldn't work in real life.
@@ninelaivz4334 Really? Why do you think it was created? Just curious. I can kinda see why
@@kingdomcitiesnetwork3908 its created as a sport or for fun
@Velonism Yes, especially if the one who uses aikido is trained in self defence and the attacker isn't and just relying on strenght and maybe agility. But you can say this for every martial art, even boxing. A "generic schoolyard bully" usually has no (or very little) idea of footwork and can be outmanouvered quite quickly.
But it is quite another situation if there is a streetfight between a master of Karate and Aikido - although the sight of a those two fighting against each other in a bar brawl or street fight should be highly unusual. Nearest would be something like MMA, where praticers of pure Aikido (without being proficient in at least one other martial art) lose way more often than they win.
Combination of both? I think you'd like Hapkido
Best part is the outtakes when you get to see what really happens.
Love the video keep it up made me learn and laugh!
This is really a unique and clever video well done guys!!!
I absolutely respect the way you do research. Realistic and rational. Thanks for this
Best practical “comparative analysis” of some basic “defensive techniques” used by either a Karate-Do or Aikido practitioner against the same type of attack that I’ve seen on CZcams. Fun to watch it! Who won - we who watched it!
That was the first time I’ve seen Aikido work in self defense. I studied Uechi karate for a year in between several years of internal Shaolin and it’s what I thought. Every Martial art is excellent for self defense if you know it fully and are confident to use it. Jesse, you’re pretty damned fast, which is awesome. Equally as awesome, the aikido guy wasn’t and he was just as effective. Loved the video!
true. u talked about aikido as well
The aikido guy moved to the side of the attacker in most cases. That alone is a huge advantage in my opinion. Even if your attack fails you are still in a safe position for defense or attack.
I agree with you about Jesse, was very impressed with his speed and power. Usually he shows him self being roughed up a fair bit by other styles.
@@IamnotJohnFord getting off the line of attack is the first thing we were taught. It's both the most effective defense and the beginning of kuzushi, since it forces the attacker to re-target if he wants to continue the attack.
Important point to consider is that the line of attack is only straight ahead at your attacker when he's using straight attacks: the haymaker, to use an example in the video, is coming in at a strong angle, so moving directly toward the attacker turns it into a hug...pretty much the last thing most people throwing a haymaker want to do to you, and a nice setup for any number of judo throws.
Good info, very likable. There is a lack of people like you who make instructing fun. See you in the next vid!
Thank you!! 🙏
Very good channel! Thanks!
Much appreciated Neo!
I think as long as you’re extremely good at whatever art you learn, you’re going to be a challenge for whoever tries fighting you. Overall I really love both arts because they’re so different in not only style but also what they teach.
Thats the thing, its easier to get good at something like muay thai than it is to get proficient in aikido, therefore muay thai practitioners mop the floor with Aikido as they spend more time honing simple techniques rather than struggling with complex small joint locks that also require you be fast enough and precise enough to actually catch peoples arms mid swing. Maybe a drunk with a slow swing you could catch it, but any half decent striker na youre catching those hands to the face
Well, I think you’re absolutely right. In my experience, the years of training teach you discipline. Discipline is what helps you keep your mind more clear from emotions, which allows you think more rationally and calmly. It keeps the fear and panic much more controlled. A skilled and disciplined martial artist has an immediate advantage, no matter the style. Not to say that I haven’t seen black belts and the sort get absolutely destroyed by a street brawler before. So yeah, I agree.
This was both very interesting to see two styles handle the same situations and also very funny with the flashback scenes. I think this one hit the perfect spot in between education and entertainment. Great job Jesse!
What a great video! Professional but doesn’t lack a good humor. My favorite part was the warm up 😂❤
Glad you enjoyed it Lisa
Great edutainment, gentlemen! As always! :D
Much appreciated my friend!
Thanks for your enlightening demo. While I've done both karate and aikido, in your contest the aikido techniques seemed less busy and appeared to accomplish the defence with less energy use. Whilst the karate techniques were really good, they seemed to use up more energy than was needed. So for me, in this instance aikido was the winner. Well done to all participants.
🖤🤔🤝🏼😊❤
Yeah, Aikido when is mastered perfectly is the easiest way to end a fight because requires very little energy and just the ability to let it flow in the right way, meanwhile Karate requires more strength and more movements too... But before you master Aikido in an effective way you definitely need to know Karate too because Karate is a little easier to master and use. Much love to both of them, to me they both won.
Karate when you young, Akido when you old.
Very entertaining and obviously very effective. Both of these martial arts work. The Aikido to me is more beautiful to watch when done by an expert. The Karate looks far more brutal but more effective when done in a street fighting situation. Great video.
Both defenders know which attack is coming. I would like to see how each reacts to a surprise attack. Also, karate is more focussed on disabling the attacker then aikido. Defend against the attack and prevent any follow-up attack would be an interesting format too.
The techniques in karate were more violent but also very fast and effective in some of the situations. Aikido was less violent yet took longer to disarm the opponent, both in my opinion were equally effective in most situations. In the head lock one I think both were fairly ineffective. To be honest I would prefer to train in Aikido because it is less violent.
tbh irl you cannot always expect to do things all that methodically. especially with a resisting person.
The thing I noticed with regards to speed is that the aikidosa there seemed to be moving a little slower than I've personally seen before from other sensies I've trained under. But also when you're the uke (the person on whom the technique is being performed), it feels a lot faster than it may look (and is also a lot of fun!)
As someone who practiced Judo I can tell you the Aikido technique he used for the headlock is very effective. I have used it twice in real fights and is very easy to execute
Karate wins
Bruh, isn't hitting a guy on the balls during a headlock effective??😅🤷♂️
Aikido and karate are both useful in their own ways, it all depends on how they're applied in real situations.
I’ve been training in a style called Minna jujitsu for about 10 years and it featured aikido, karate, kung fu, judo, and a couple other things as well. Essentially, the style pulled the most practical self defense techniques from the other styles. I believe that if somebody were to pick a martial art for self-defense, it would be a good idea to pick a blended style so that you are a well rounded fighter. I also have taken up Brazilian jujitsu as well so I can have an idea of what to do if I end up on the ground, which would also be a good idea for self-defense as a last Resort, if you can’t get up.
The problem with Aikido is that they never train to fight unpredictable opponents.
Aikido looks smoother, simple & effective without actually hurting the opponent, just a simple takedown. Karate was too much extra movements/attacks which could have negative results on the opponent. Aikido looks like a very effective self defense that could save your life & save you from prison also.
If the enemy was some thug who was attacking u, I did say the more dmg u put on the enemy, the less likely they are gonna stand back up and still be used as self-defense
Why "not hurting" is better? I mean, it's better if they do not wake up easily after I take them down
This was hilarious!!! When Jesse had the mid video crisis I was totally caught off guard (also relatable). And then when Rokus had one, I had my own because it was a complete shift in the narrative which really made me consider the dynamics & deeper meaning of the video. And then, when Oliver had his… mind blown. Completely did not expect that. Had me in tears. Great stuff guys!
This is so epic! I need to learn Aikido & Karate & MMA!
Great video!
I'm practicing both. Of course it had to be a tie.
I've done karate for 6 years and I'm at brown belt but since the pandemic hit, I couldn't go for my black belt however I've decided to observe other styles of fighting and decided to learn them for myself and as someone who's only done karate, I'll try aikido as well. What I've observed from this video is that aikido in my own words was more of a "keep your distance and don't harm them" kinda thing which would be good for me if I don't want to harm my opponents
I believe the reason why they keep their distance is because its assuming the opponent is armed. Aikido is for Samurai’s
@@lionedheart Nah, not exactly. Aikido doesn't care if you have a weapon or not. The thought is more like: Fight only as hard as needed to get the other one to rethink his actions. Fighting is always the last resort. Talk first...break bones only if necessary.
I try jiujitsu on Saturdays and boxing on Sunday
Aikido has this really interesting Philosophy, that all Life is sacred. And it's techniques are not only to protect you but also the opposing party so there are no real strikes practiced. It mostly consists of Throws and Grips to disarm a Situation without causing excessive Harm.
Try Hapkido
Jesse, you could’ve done the moves just as effectively had you skipped some of the punches. In my opinion (from Tang Soo Do) the Aikido practitioner simply strategized better by skipping to the takedowns. Had you not thrown in any of the counters you would’ve been just as effective. Since you threw in the counters and took longer to take the opponent down, I give it to Aikido for simple, straightforward and effective moves, sorry Jesse. Like I said, however, skip the counters and go STRAIGHT to the takedown! Just my advice. Thank you for the video, all your hard work and education.
Much love and peace
❤️🎸
You are very criative Jess. The video is very fun 👏👏😅
I enjoyed it
I love how Jesse will do a strike and a sweep In the same motion, no wasted movement and very cool to watch
That was awesome Jesse! I'm still laughing about the "my whole life flashed before my eyes" segments. The moral of the story is you should learn aikido, karate, and MMA to make sure all your bases are covered.
I love great videos like this one
Glad to hear it!
I’m late to the party on this video but this was so well made!!
I think Aikido was much more of distance and not over the edge movements in terms of physical strength power and striking Karate takes the cake for it but Aikido revolves around quick but relaxing movements to disarm your opponent without injuring them unless you need to if you were to ask which would win in a fight itself it really just depends on the opponent
The elegance of Aikido vs the power and precision of Karate! Both are awesome in their own way, and I think both complement each other.
Just amazing vídeo!
I Loved this!! 😄
This one made me legit laugh! When Oliver's life flashed before his eyes 😂😂 great video guys!
I love the contrast in warmups. Perfectly shows off the 3 main archetypes of Martial Artists.
I have been doing martial arts for a significant part of my childhood, and I feel both techniques really showed how both styles are effective, but I feel karate just shows more tenacity and technique. It also balances your morals, as you learn when and when to not finish or actually hurt someone
What an amazing videoooooo!
That "suddenly my whole life" thing was super funny 😂😂😂😂😂
I love it. Both won. The reason is that both respected the philosophy of their martial arts. The aim of Aikido is to protect the attacker. So the attacker understand that violence is not good. The Karateka was in the philosophy of street self defense. It's you or the opponent. In a real life situation you won't have pity against your opponent who attacks you. So karate has an upper hand that karate strikes the guy won't come back to attack you. I practice karate shotokan I kick hard and punch hard to hurt if I am being attack in the street but aikido is good if it's your drunk friend, angry brother or young people that you don't want to hurt but want to pass a message. Steven Seagal philosophy is breaking limbs while being attack but it's true that true philosophy of martial arts is to protect others.
I agree. The philosophy of each art is different.
If no-one sees the initial attack and there's no weapon, the karate guy is going down (arrested) for the charge of Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) in the UK....
How hilarious it was that the Martial artists were warming up very carefully, and the mma fighter went HOG WILD XD
This was very funny and professional in the same way, all of you win🥇🥇🥇(I started with judo, moved on to karate and am now in JuJutsu, which combines all styles....) 66 Years old. still love it
Hey Jessie - another great video, thank you. I just love how not only is there a good dose of modesty, but also a great sense of humour. No one taking themselves too seriously. That is just so refreshing! Keep up the good work!
My friend did both Shotokan Karate and Yoshinkan Aikido. Best combine the 2... The locks in Aikido are so painful that you give up psychologically before you do so physically. With Karate a good yoko geri to the ribs or the knees that is the end of you. In a few fights I had on the street, I always used strikes. When there are multiple opponents it is very hard to grab someone. Constantly move and strike. I heard in the past, 2 Jujitsu masters were attacked by 50 robbers and they defeated them all. It is said that they got a new appreciation of atemi waza.
Shioda Gozos Yoshinkan is a whole new area. I'd love to see Rokas in a dojo.
@@jestfullgremblim8002 So says the story. I recently got someone to buy me the book where I believed I originally read that story. If it is the correct one I'll put his name here. form what I remember the Japanese term they used for him was like a martial arts "god" and that he was quite strong. There is such a term but I can't remember off the top of my head.
Great video..!
Jesse your videos are great
Both arts are very impressive, however, as a man in my late 50's with less strenght I would be inclined to favor aikido using the attacker's momentum against him rather then striking back forcefully.
I'm in my late 50s too and wishing to return to martial arts after a long hiatus. I have trained in Tae kwon do (black belt), Wing Chun, Boxing, Judo and Aikido and trying to decide what to do. When I was young man I thoroughly enjoyed the sheer physciality of hard style martial arts like my Judo and TKD but I don't think my body could take it these days. One thing I have noticed is that as you get older, injuries take a lot longer to heal, if at all. I remember a time when I could go all out when I competed and not get hurt. Sure I did injured sometimes but I recovered very quickly. After a lifetime of practice I have many old injuries like compressed vertebra, fractures, and ligament tears (such as rotator cuff) and really don't want to inflame them again. I pulled a tendon in my lower leg from running a couple of years ago and it took over 6 months to heal. But I really miss my martial arts - I feel so alive and happy whenever I am in the dojo.
You can do both ya know (wing Chun jeet kune do , Kali , silat all use the attackers energy against them to enhance your own counter strike , it's not always finesse or power , a lot of the best fighting arts use both just fyi
