This martial art is so cool. You only have to grab your opponent’s arm and your opponent will start flipping and rolling all over the place by himself.

I am going to test this on my 80 year old uncle while he's shaking my hand before christmas dinner.

[yoshirobbo]

no-one:

aikido master: flippity floppity get off my property

[controversialgaming]

I am more impressed with the dude that falls .

[Andrei-gtpw]

As long as the opponent does not try to punch or kick and just benevolently gives you his hand, aikido is badass.

[JasonLayton]

a beautiful dance, but it needs techno music.

"Here in the Video he is demonstrating a very clean basic, so dont mix it with free fighting or something else. Aikido is not about hurting anyone, and it's not about competition. This is what makes it so difficult to do and to understand for most people."

"It's a Zen practice! It's about awareness and consciousness. It takes very little awareness to fight and brawl - but it takes a lot of awareness not to."

[Quote from another demonstration video commentary]

Video title: demonstration
Grandmasters of the internet: this would never work irl, it's almost like it's choreographed

[vicentemunozcalahorro]

Do the martial art that makes you happy. When you choose one, look for information about it, be honest with yourself and enjoy the training! Nice video by the way 👍 Stay safe!

All of you kids who think you know what you're talking about when you disparage Aikido have never tried being a smart-ass with an Aikido Shihan. When I was in my 20s, I was practicing tanto-dori with Takeguchi Shihan and thought I saw an opportunity to surprise him with a cut to the forearm, so I tried it. I hit the tatami HARD, and never tried that again.

If you go to an Aikikai dojo with a bullshido attitude, you will be humbled. If you're lucky, you might learn something as I did.

This student is very good at throwing himself on the floor, once upon a time he would have made a king very happy performing as a professional tumbler. So good of that old man to teach him how to entertain royalty so gracefully.

[Me-mvff]

To you guys calling this dumb... you do realize that this is a demonstration. so its him showing what someone from aikido would do to defend from different type of attacks. so the old guy is not supposed to actually use any power to not harm the other person cuz its a demonstration. theyre showing what would happen if they did use power

[ulupacavulpix]

Am I the only one who thinks aikido is a graceful art?

[liayesung]

Aikido is just like a river, it just flows. The opponent’s strength just flows thru the aikido fighter. Making clear that fighting is not the answer, this would turn into never ending story. It’s the most peaceful yet the most powerful martial arts.

[Concetta]

Those kids sure know how to take a tumble.

[stoopingfalcon]

I studied Ki Aikido for years. I would have been honoured to have him as my sensei.

[TheAcmpt]

This is not a self defense or combat martial art, it's all about the spiritual philosophy behind it. It's basically like yoga but with the discipline of a traditional japanese martial art

[quentinfavucet]

does it work with no-complaisant ennemies ?

[ohhithereanimations]

That man is tossing some goddamn salad

[thelazydire]

As someone who has a father with black belt in aikido, I'm pretty good in karate (brown belt) and martial arts overall.. I gotta say aikido is on a whole other level..my dad beats me up the moment he grabs my hand..people think aikido is only good when someone "follows your lead" the only reason that someone is following your lead is because he has too..if he doesn't your wrist is as good as gone..You seriously can't do anything the moment an aikido dude grabs a hold on you, only way I've seen to beat aikido is when you take it slowly, don't rush and attack first, aikido focuses on grabbing, inflict dmg fast without getting grabbed, the moment you do get grabbed inflict damage with the other hand or any other body part as fast as possible to damage the opponent so that they won't be able to continue with their move or they'd just let ypu go completely
