This Martial Art Makes NO Sense!

Taido is a martial art seen in Tekken by Reina. But it was invented by a Karate master from Okinawa. The question is... how effective is it? Let’s find out 👊

Which martial art should I try next? 😁

[SenseiSeth]

Looks like Japanese Capoeira kinda! Wonder what the link is there. Great video

[Bernardo-pfsg]

I've been a capoeira practitioner for some years and I must say that this martial art has a lot similar to capoeira, incredible

[juggalox]

this looks like it would be so much fun to learn, i can imagine Taido and Capoeira users just taking notes from each other all day and just having a grand ol time

[twitchykun]

Tekken 8's new character Reina uses this art. This is gonna be interesting.

[gangrenekills]

i very much appreciate how you actually showed us how it works in real sparring with resistance great video as always

Taido's moves have a lot of similarities/cognates with penchak silat and capoeira. My question is not its effectiveness but how long can an average fighter keep it up before gassing out just using nothing else but taido. Is it energy efficient compared to standard mma/bjj styles? Or is it something best to add/mix as a surprise in tactics. Great demo as always, Sensei, ous!👍😊❤🤜

[CTRGMiller]

This video truly spoke to me. I'm always trying to be creative and unorthodox with my karate but there are some that say I shouldn't because it is "not karate". I love doing Shotokan but I really don't like the idea of being limited to one thing with only one way of doing it. I hope the culture changes some day.

I used to train Capoeira for several years after 16 years of Kyokushin, this looks like a pretty cool mash-up of both! cool stuff Jesse! Osu

[hpesojogladih]

Reina Mishima's fighting style in Tekken 8 👍.

[thesadanimations]

I really liked this video, especially how it actually pressure tested taido.

Only gripe is that you spent 2 hours doing and then went straight into sparring, maybe more like 10-20 hours doing so that you get a real good concept of taido's flow and movement would have been better before sparring

(also ouch for that guy who caught an up kick straight to the jaw)

[ltmeno]

i love how you respect everyone and take things seriously. keep up the great work :)

The main skill that Taido teaches is "comfort". Many body positions, movements, and angles of attack are practiced until you body can do them easily - your muscles are toned for it, you have muscle memory of the movements, and you understand the reason to be (or not be) in any given position. You become comfortable with Taido's approach to fighting.

Taido operates a bit heavily on the target watching you, unsure how to go about fighting you. The more familiar they are with how you move and what you can do from any given position, the less effective it becomes - but this is not that different from any other martial art; even boxing, an art sharp and often in close quarters, is this way. But Taido excels in how much the target must learn before they know how to neutralize you. It has a strength here in the window of how long it takes someone to learn how to handle you. But in the end... all of the balance shifting and momentary loss of sight of your target take their toll ... the weakness of Taido is competent brutality. If someone times high mass impacts against you while you are mid-move in Taido, it is the same as being caught in a throw in the middle of an aerial kick. Your body and balance are so out of position that you cannot defend yourself. You will get knocked around, and end up grappling/wrestling. But then you get back into a strength of Taido - part of training is learning how to get up quickly/fluidly from almost any position.

Someone else in comments mentioned that Taido and wrestling pair well together as martial arts.

I agree.

[MeiaLuaDeCompasso]

"So how would I use this in a fight?"

"Just keep mashing the kick buttons."

Love it. From a Capoeira fighter 💪🤸‍♂️

[emiliohernandez]

Hi Jesse, I am a 14 year old junior black belt from New Jersey practicing Shotokan and I would like to thank you for the videos you make. You inspire me to continue working to get better and I hope someday to be like you. Keep up the good work 👍

Fantastic representation of Taido, the combinations of 3 dimensional movements is extremely challenging to counter because it mixes levels, angels, and speeds. Dr. Shukumine was ahead of his time, when you think about MMA today and the combination of these same elements. I also want to highlight one of his prize pupils, Uchida Kaicho of U.S. Taido who took the art from Dr. Shukumine and grew it into the largest school in the world. The students from this school have gone on to not only win in major events from Taido to even Brazilian JiuJitsu competitions, but most are doctors, lawyers, and most importantly serve their communities. This is what Uchida Kaicho is most known for, embodying the way of the bushido and his students as a result, were imparted with these principles. Ossu!

[xiloptea]

Kinda reminds me if Capoeira. Looks super fun I would love to give Taido a go

[anttikorhonen]

As a long time taido practitioner i really enjoyed watching this! Thanks for making the vid Jesse and also thanks to Mikael Jansson for taking the time for this. Mikael is a great dude! Hope to see some more taido here in the future too. 🙂💪

[chrislones]

I love your humility and respect throughout the entire video. That's hard to find with martial artists today

[Raivon]

Honestly regardless of how effective Taido is in a fight it just looks like it's extremely fun to learn
