Fortunately the internet is destroying these scammers 1 McDojo at a time. :)Quote:

As soon as he was hit that first time it crushed him. As you say you could tell he hadn't ever experienced anything like it. :)Quote:

i'm not sure about this one. i don't think it takes itself as a martial art. i think it is more of a performance art and knows it.Quote:

I wouldn't call it that. I study it when I can afford to and it's a learning experience. Nothing like being on your feet one second and then staring at the ceiling and trying to figure out how you got there. Not to say that I wouldn't change some things. Punches for example. I've studied a lot of different marial arts and I've NEVER seen ANYONE throw a punch the way they do in Aikido. Then again, a lot of it comes from iaido/kendo/kenjutsu.Quote:

Use use atemi as well? Is this Tomiki linage? Every time I've seen people claim atemi in aikido its really more just irimi with a planned grazing blow or a love tap(that only works in pretend time) used to manipulate tori when uki has weak skills.
There are cool philosophy and principles in aikido, thats why I've spent so much time studying it but when you decide to make a "martial art" non-competitive and non-violent you also decided that you aren't going to be able to filter the bullshit from the legit.
IMO aikido is only good for handling very inebriated family members, in other words people who cant fight back with any skill and that you dont wish to hurt.
full disclosure, I enjoy learning aikido and trolling aikidōka people on youtube, equally. Anyone who wants to do some full contact sparring against me using aikido is welcome to come give it a try, Redwood FC, Eureka, Ca. I wont be a dick about it if you come.
Yes. We do randori. And yes, there have been a couple of throws used that I have no idea what happened. And we've done both atemi and irimi. The instructor explains the history behind the move and how it applies with both a sword and knife. It's a nice history lesson.
Leon Jay is the current Grandmaster of Small Circle Jujitsu and the son of Wally Jay, the Judo and Jujitsu instructor of my Sensei, David Quinonez. Professor (Wally) Jay never used "no touch" knock outs in the original founding in Small Circle Jujitsu, it was till Leon started associating with this tool bag that he turned more of his attention to learning "no touch KO's" Professor Jay was a man that if you gave him a finger he could find a way to transition hold that would break everything from fingers, arms, wrist (loved wrist manipulation) and shoulders, he was an amazing man. Makes me miss my Judo days in High School. Sadly I used to believe in the "no touch KO" and seen some of it done first hand, but with some research it really is a crock of shit. Still I am proud to have come from Professor Jay's lineage.
thats cool, normally though they may call it randori, aikido schools don't actually do randori like you would in judo, its actually basically what we call drilling. Type "aikido randori" into youtube and you'll see what I mean.Quote:

The people prancing about in these videos jumping around to make their 'sensei' look amazing should be ashamed of themselves. The instructors probably believe they actually possess these magical powers because anytime they throw their hands up at these worthless pretenders they fly through the air. The instructors are probably just as deluded as the students!
So funny tho hahaha! Thanks for sharing!!
Is that Stephan Bonnar at 3.33?Quote:

He likes to have fun in class and whenever someone is having a hard time with a certain technique or why have a question about it, he shows us the history behind it. Usually it involves katana and the tanto. He has no delusions about it. He does it because he enjoys it and its fun. He's located in Virginia Beach, VA even though the name is Aikido of Norfolk.

Thanks
Wow thats crazy to hear. yoshimitsu yamada is aikikai, (IAK) They typically do not use a competitive form of randori like in judo and most other japanese martials arts, I was almost 100% sure you would say that they are tomiki aikido/shodokan aikido of tomiki linage. The IAK guys kinda hate on tomki because they dont believe that competitive randori is in keeping with the teachings of O sensi (they are correct). Unfortunately this makes IAK weak sauce. You may have one of the most legit IAk instructors in the world but I doubt IAK would be happy about him allowing free from randori.
From wiki
on kenji tomki
on shodkan aikidoQuote:
Shodokan places more emphasis on free-form randori sparring than most other styles of aikido
Quote:
It was there that he formulated and expanded his theories concerning both kata based training methods and a particular form of free-style fighting which would put him at odds with much, but not all, of the aikido world.
There's not a young guys taking aikido, so it's not very often. More often than not, I'm the youngest guy there. And I've never heard him say that aikido is the bestest martial arts in the world. I enjoy going there because there are no egos or anything. Just a bunch of old guys trying to keep from having heart attacks.
i'd go there too if I could.
