An interesting art that is immediately recognizable. It does have a few striking moves in it, but for the most part, it is based on the principle that when an attacker strikes, he leaves some part of his defense vulnerable. If you, the defender, do not attack him, you remain defensively invulnerable.
Do not resist his attack. Use its momentum against him. Steven Seagal is the most famous Aikido practitioner in the Western world. He may be a horrible actor, but he is a genuine 7th degree black belt in Aikido, and his signature move is absolutely essential to any self-defense arsenal: the kote gaeshi, or “forearm return.”

Basic techniques in AIKIDO:
ReplyDeleteFirst techniqu : a control using one hand on the elbow and one hand near the wrist which leverages uke to the ground. This grip applies pressure into the ulnar nerve at the wrist.
Second technique : a pronating wristlock that torques the arm and applies painful nerve pressure.
Third technique : a rotational wristlock that directs upward-spiraling tension throughout the arm, elbow and shoulder.
Fourth technique : a shoulder control similar to ikkyō, but with both hands gripping the forearm. The knuckles (from the palm side) are applied to the recipient's radial nerve against the periosteum of the forearm bone.
Fifth technique : visually similar to ikkyō, but with an inverted grip of the wrist, medial rotation of the arm and shoulder, and downward pressure on the elbow. Common in knife and other weapon take-aways.
Four-direction throw : the hand is folded back past the shoulder, locking the shoulder joint.
Forearm returN : a supinating wristlock-throw that stretches the extensor digitorum.
otary throw : Tori sweeps the arm back until it locks the shoulder joint, then uses forward pressure to throw.
