Thing about Aikido

People often will watch an Aikido demo and say, “Well it’s not realistic, you cooperated with him when he threw you!”

Hahaha, Of course I did! 

My other option was to have my arm dislocated, possibly spiral-fractured (don’t google that), and then to land neck first on the ground with all of my body weight on top of my then-shattered vertebrae. Much safer to go along with it and roll.

Aikido “looks fake” because the people being tossed 

protect themselves 

from the consequences of having all their momentum hurled into the ground, along with squishy breakable anatomy. We could resist More, yes, but it would have bad results. we often do try to resist a bit to help our partners practice against an unwilling opponent, but the result is pretty much the same- Wowican’tbendthatwayTHUD…Tap!Tap!

I promise you, if you learn to roll and fall correctly to protect your body, and then get a Sensei to show you some Aikido, you will see how effective it can be. Once your balance and momentum do not belong to you, you are hurtling through the air whether you like it or not. And then you’re on the ground wondering what the heck just happened. And all that happens in less than a second. It’s really, really FUN.

Truth.

This girl has some serious technique!

Good power grip, excellent kuzushi (love the little right leg sweep, like an Ouchi-gari) and tight tsukuri!   

So, if you think Judo is not good for self-defenses… think again!

I love how she just slams his face into the ground! 

Judo confirmed 100% street.

Side note: I have been thrown on my head before. It is very unpleasant. I do not recommend it.
