Untrained ukemi
I work in security, deal with 1-3 fights a week. I have used some of my aikido to good effect, and some just doesn't show up. It has all been hampered by the fighters not knowing how to take ukemi for my techniques. Slows stuff down, changes things.
Anyway, I'm looking for resources, especially videos, of aikido done rather realistically (attack, timing, force) on folks with no dojo ukemi skills. Can anybody point me somewhere good? |

Hi Krystal,
not sure if this is what you're looking for but we are beginning work on a vid now "Boxing for Aikido' focusing on conditioning and application. The application sequences will feature actual boxers ( and other fighters) attacking in real time. I think this vid will be dif from most of what I've seen out there now mainly because of the skill level of the attackers. And yes, the aiki principles applied are not what most would calls 'clean'. You can stayed tuned at our website for excerpts in the near future. www.potomacaikikai.org |
Re: Untrained ukemi
Krystal, buy George Sensei's instructional......worth every penny and focused on exactly what you're talking about.

I second the praise for Ledyard Senseis video...
Very well presented. |
Re: Untrained ukemi
If you are doing security work, why are you worried about them taking ukemi?

Re: Untrained ukemi
Having been around and with the friendships of law enforcement officers; there is a real and present need to disable, or force an attacker to submit without causing them harm or injury. There are just simply some examples where it is utterly inappropriate to injury your attacker. Example: I knew an officer who was struck by a belligerent pregnant woman. If his actions were to break her arm, or even so much as knock her down, he could lose his job, be sued, or even charged with a crime himself.
I personally have worked with children, and have been attacked by children in tantrums. I've worked with the mentally handi-capped, and have been attacked in ways that have caused me SERIOUS injury. Both instances, not appropriate to use excessive force.(there are actually laws that state what you can and can not do to defend yourself when attacked by the mentally deficient... and the laws don't leave you much recourse for self-defense in the end.) Self defense has a lot to do with self-preservation. If your ass will end up fired or in jail for breaking grandma's hip, preserve yourself by not choosing to protect yourself against granny by knocking her down a flight of stairs. :P |

Can the whole thing be copied to a Netbook's solid-state drive and run from there? My Netbook doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, but I can copy files across from a network drive. |

What sounds better on a police report. He attacked me with a lazy right cross, I slipped the punch and clinched, from there I noticed he had a horrible base, so I hooked in a standing kimura grip and threw him with harai goshi making sure to land on him as hard as possible, breaking his arm. or It all happened so fast! This guy was just coming at me, so I grabbed him to keep him from hitting me and we struggled, in the process of defending myself from his attack we fell to the ground and his arm was broken. I was really scared! |
Re: Untrained ukemi
There is an old video of O'Sensei using shihonage, I believe on a US marine. You should see the ukemi he tries to take.
IMHO, I believe when using Aikido on the 'untrained' your technique has to be very clear and strong, but not necessarily hard. Like working with a beginner in class but just a bit hard to produce your desired results. i.e. you may want to cause them some pain to give them a wake up call, but not an injury. BTW, how long have you done Aikido and what style? Regards... |

I also found the falls that his students took from Iriminage at the beginning interesting. They turn it into a forward roll. Do many people do that? It sounds like a recipe for cauliflower noses to me. |
Re: Untrained ukemi
I sometimes do if it seems right in the moment. Given the angles involved in those situations, it seems safe and easier than a back fall. Usually take a backfall.
