Nah, that is not aikido, that is straight up BJJ.

Re: YouTube: Aikido in a real street fight.
Sorry, realized I might be coming across as a smart ass. Didn't really mean it that way. Point is, which I know Salim understands is that there are lots of examples to turn to to find application. All are good examples that can be found in waza.

Unfortunately some Aikidoka have become too sensitive and not accept some level of constructive criticism. It's good to hear your thoughts.

Re: YouTube: Aikido in a real street fight.
Yea it was a little bit of a joke. But, I think it is not so important what it is vice recognizing that the waza can be applicable and there are some universal principles, basic movements in all waza.
the difference, (and the importance), is the timing (as we are discussing on the other thread). I think what is most important is looking at how the officer sets it up. the ma ai, body language, position of both, and then the decisive, explosive, deliberate manner in which he decides to enter and take balance and control. the Ma'ai is what is most important and what happens. Timing. it is almost everything! A llittle O soto gari also, but timing. |
Re: YouTube: Aikido in a real street fight.
What people need to do is *NOT* take the title of youtube videos as fact and pass it along as such.

Hello Salim

As things are in the video (and without a wider context), the use of force of this magnitude is completely misplaced. |
Re: YouTube: Aikido in a real street fight.
I'm not sure... it looks more like he struck the guy (and followed through) with a palm strike to the throat. Not so Aiki to me (but hey I'm not really an Aikido master or something)
One-Aiki, Iking |

Wider context is needed. You tube videos can easly be edited WRT timelines, when they start and stop, to create a biased opinion. A 13 second video of a cop striking a man who has his hands in his pockets could very well be from a 2 minute and 13 second video of said man pulling a knife on a police officer and stabbing them thrn running away, hiding trying to blend into a crowd then when found has his hands back in his pockets saying "hey man I don't wanna fight". He could have a pistol behind his back in a waist band or had previously been extremely violent. |
Re: YouTube: Aikido in a real street fight.
I saw a lunge and a strike to the throat; maybe if the civilian were coming at the gentleman in the yellow shirt (I find it difficult to use the title "officer" in this context) I would accept the argument it was an atemi. The civilian was standing still, with hands in pockets; if there was suspicion of a weapon on his person or he was suspected of an earlier attack, weapons drawn might have been the wiser choice for the responding units (but I am no armchair tactical officer!).
Agreed, though, context is everything when watching a video. |
Re: YouTube: Aikido in a real street fight.
I think I have seen this video before, with sound and longer.
What you see here is what happens after the policeman have given orders for the person to comply, and after last warning he takes charge and gets in control. |
Re: YouTube: Aikido in a real street fight.
Another example of If you look hard enough You can find Aikido in everything. LOL ;)

This is a very short clip from a longer segment of the TV show "Cops" filmed in Las Vegas. The suspect was drunk and non-compliant with several warnings to remove his hands from his pockets. As I recall, he had just been involved in another fracus.

Re: YouTube: Aikido in a real street fight.
Thanks David.
I have often wondered how much having a TV show camera rolling prompts instances of "Kodak Courage" (the concept that you do things you wouldnt otherwise do if there were no camera) on that show, and this case in particular; unedited footage, 3rd warning within 15 seconds equals take down, and see the yellow shirts' body language at 0:41? See his legs? Body language to me, combined with his statement while climbing out of the cruiser ("...looks a little amped up...") doesn't help convince of anything other than looking for a reason to nail someone. I wouldnt be surprised that the yellow shirt was the one who uttered the word that got bleeped. Disapointed, but in this context, not surprised. Cops have dangerous jobs, no doubt about it. This looked a little premeditated, to me. |
Re: YouTube: Aikido in a real street fight.
Nick,
You may have a good point about "Kodak Courage". We've certainly seen something similar in televised court cases. You would think that we would be on our best behavior when being filmed.... |

As to the technique, it is applied to unresisting and unskilled person, so yeah it works, so what? Imagine this was a dojo and you are witnessing a yudansha smashing a first time student into the mat. |
Re: YouTube: Aikido in a real street fight.
If all you see is the YouTube clip, then you can come to the conclusion that the force was excessive. If you see the longer version, you opinion might change. Then again it may not. There was more to this event than shown on YouTube.
