bushido_man96 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well, I don't see too much difference between the Real Aikido, and other Aikido that I have seen. But, that my limited experience talking, as well. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightOwl Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 At least from that clip, real aikido looks like aikido without a gi or hakama. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but technique and training wise it looks almost the same to me. Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.~Theodore Roosevelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BB of C Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Something I noticed was the use of weapons. When I've seen traditional Aikido practiced with weapons, I've seen knife, sword and staff. Here I saw club, knife and gun - concealable weapons that one may be more likely to run into in this day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wa-No-Michi Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 The term Aiki (合氣) is a compound of two Japanese words:Ai = to JoinKi = SpiritVery simplistically put - "Aiki" is a term used to describe the principles of blending the "energy" of attack with defence – on a physical and mental level.As well as other concepts such as atemi (or striking) the principles of "Aiki" were incorporated within the workings of many Koryu schools under the banner of "Aiki-Jujutsu".So "Aiki-Jujutsu" is not so much a style by itself, but a concept or method with which a style applies their techniques - in order to make them work.Aikido's Morihei Ueshiba was a student of Daito Ryu Aiki-Jujutsu for example. Essentially the principles of "Aiki" are the same within say Aikido and Daito-ryu, however the latter is was designed to be a fully functional battlefield art, whereas Ueshiba's Aikido was designed to be more "practicable" by the masses - with perhaps different goals (of self improvement over martial functionality).It’s the do vs jutsu thing coming into play again.I hope that helps.WNM "A lot of people never use their initiative.... because no-one told them to" - Banksyhttps://www.banksy.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
