Is this Aikido?
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1e9_1354027157
I saw this video on reddit and I was wondering what you guys thought. I'm not very advanced, but I totally saw some aikido, maybe not techniques but definitely some applied principles. Not sure what happened on the last throw, but I like how friendly "nage" is at the end; patting uke on the back and telling him to walk away.
Your thoughts?

Looks like brawling to me. Okay, he did a bit of a tenkan and a throw thing there, but that doesn't necessarily mean he has done aikido.

Re: Is this Aikido?
Looks like the guy in the right did pretty well, hard to call it aikido or not, but he didn't push his advantages, controlled the ma-ai and timing pretty well, and he let the other guy out of the fight quickly. AIkido, maybe, win, yah.

Re: Is this Aikido?
He grabbed an off-balanced, lunging kid with no skills by the shirt and slung him to the ground. Is that all it takes to be considered aikido these days?

Re: Is this Aikido?
Well, because of the gripping used in the throws, if you want to assign a formal label, maybe you could go with sumi-otoshi, as done in judo.

Re: Is this Aikido?
Nope. Not aikido. Just a couple of kids beating on one another and a couple of things that coincidentally vaguely resemble elements found in aikido technique, or for that matter ju Jitsu or any number of other arts.

Re: Is this Aikido?
Was it done with loving intent based on the loving protection of all things?
