Aikido - Fight - Toshu Randori - Tomiki style

Поединок по правилам Тошу Рандори

[PrimeForm]

I never knew Aikido guys had such good footwork.

[leoprzytuac]

This video is so underrated... actually the whole tomiki style is underrated... it should be more popular

[pedrogouveia]

Finally a fight, and not a demonstration against a guy with a stick..

[nathanlaframboise]

This was actually really interesting to watch. I've never seen aikedo practiced competitevely, you can really see the power of aikedo in the redirection of the opponents energy. I hope elements of this make it into the octagon.

[Momsspaghetti]

I normally dislike most aikido but damn that technique at about 1:10 was badass

[cortxlh]

Finally they understood that for defeating someone you need to practice with a resisting opponent.

[Bfolks]

That throw at 1:11 was beautiful!! Way to go to show that those are capable under more realistic situations.

[NIGHTSTALKER]

That is actually some pretty good aikido

[seanthemedicjudoman]

This is very interesting to me.
I think what helps is to think about combat as a management of ranges. aikijido, to me, seems to fit just in between the striking range and the clinch range.
I am very happy to see what appears to be a legit demonstration and not the nonsense we see all over the internet.

[MadNumForce]

I am impressed by how exemplary and cleanly these guys move, attack and avoid attacks. Their footwork is brilliant. All their moves are really optimized, and they know exactly when to give in for the other to initiate an attack and when to disengage. The step in + chin lift in "contra tempo" is brilliant. The sideways shoulder pull on an stepping opponent is brilliant. The armlock and rolling is brilliant. And all attacks are perfectly timed. Really really very impressive and clean.

Finally, a style of Aikido I'd love to learn. Bet there are no schools in Tennessee, though.

i would love to see aikido really develop into an effective style, im not sure how different it would be from judo if it did. im happy to see there are people who are attempting to develop aikido that doesnt require compliance. best wishes to them

[toddgilmore]

Yes! Aikido isn't about lunging inward to attack, it's primary focus is how to avoid attacks at all costs. Basically the complete opposite of Traditional Karate forms.

[gabrielr.]

Didnt know that Aikido sparring even existed, very Nice to see.

[rattytattyratnett]

Shomen Ate at 26 seconds demonstrates perfect timing.

[jacobmartin]

Nice to see some live Aikido grappling. I wish there was more of this on YouTube.

Possibilities for those looking to enhance Aikido grappling:

1- Grapple without gi to reduce the temptation to grab it and reduce pauses in the match
2- Allow submissions and count them as a condition for instant victory vs points for throws
3- Allow body clinching so the fast moving parts (flailing arms) can be slowed so that joint locks can actually be applied
4- If an opponent goes to the ground trying to escape a joint lock, allow the attacker to attempt to finish the technique as long as they remain standing or kneeling (as in the Aikido kata)

I think Aikido could be developed into an effective martial art if more Aikidoka were open to the idea of live competition and modifying the rule set. Anyone who's been in an Aikido or similar joint lock knows that the techniques work, the question is just how to effectively get into a position where you can actually finish the move.

Unfortunately, I don't think grasping the air trying to snatch flailing limbs is a good way to do that. Intercepting the body and rushing into the clinch or other body hold first seems more plausible.

Og kosam vachina vallu okka like vesukondi

[jakelamotta]

Like watching 2 5year olds fighting at lunch break😂

[elpequenocultista]

wow, that sankyo at 1:11 was really awesome, was it a sankyo or was another technique?

[DreanPetruza]

It does look like bad Judo, but being the only (or most notable) Aikido style that does competition and pressure testing, it's really great.
