Outstanding and inspiring video. Cheers mate.

He makes it look so easy. That's an amazing demo.

@ZirbMonkey i know this feeling ... everything looks so simple and clear, and when you try it in the dojo, you notice how much skill and knowledge is beyond it, and that you are actually lightyears away from his perfection.

nice visual and audio effects!

thought he presents excellent technics. this is art really!!!

Those moves are So damn hard to make. Really good demo!

ha un bellissimo movimento.....!!!!

in any nearby Aikidojo. Tissier Rulz Aikido Rulz foreva

There are several drawings in the TYao of JKD that are Aikido moves. That's where I first heard of it. It's in there, just blended very well like everything else he used.

bravo!

What separates a master from a novice? Knowledge.

°° SUPER °°

Know how you feel!

holy shit!!! Tissier is a god!!!

Hi onemasse, yes iwama ryu does focusses alot on kihon. But in our dojo we doe really train alot on awase and ki no nagare as well. I think this works great for your timing as well.

1:04 hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah randori !!!!!!

@Imperativ99 Thank you!

He must have started learning Aikido when he was 3 years old to get that good.

he's immortal in melee fight LOL. love to see him fighting

1:07 is Awesome, too

damn i have been training Aikido almost 1 year and this dude is AWSOME! i have seen my trainer inn battle and hes kinda that guy that always get throwen to the ground compared to this :o

@urdadurrr I had that attitude myself 3 months ago. Then two people that goes to my school had a class of aikido and krav maga with us at the end of the year. After I volunteered so that I really could withstand and prove it couldn't be that easy, I totally lost that attitude. It's real and it hurts.

I always respected Christian Tissier but I don't like the spectacle his demos can be. After seeing this I look at him in a whole new light, he really is amazing and his movements are so smooth and natural. I just became a fan.

Indeed, what Hated2hell said. Aikido would be pretty painful to train with non-experienced guy in aikido. Like in 0:12, the jump is uke(attacker) performing ukemi and going with the move, 'cause otherwise hes hand would get broken. Unlike loads of people think, aikido is really a painful art when it comes to locks. Its a different thing can aikido practiser really use it in a real situation. :)

true

Watch him makes me want to train 8 hours a day... too bad i settle with 2 times a week... :S

1:18 is Irimi Nage

roughly 1 yr to get the concept, but to fall like that, about 8

Haha. just lets get this straight, today at 05:45PM (cuz it's wednesday), meet u there :-P

Great Vid, haven't trained in Aikido for a bit but all the peps that bag it for lame kicks and punchs..... they just don't get it. Acting it is not, if the 'challenger' was not trained he would not get up, ie its about learning to take the power and flow of energy. For example if you look closely at 0:51 the guy being thrown... his right arm comes down in a slice motion to the mat reduce the impact of his body on the ground. My advice would be to take a few lessons and then bag if you still wish

6th kyu = white, 5th = yellow, 4th=orange, 3rd=green, 2nd=blue, 1st kyu=brown, 1st dan... is the same, but with colours.

same thing

vow

search "comkaijudo" for more aikido vid.

What's the name of the technique at 1:10?

blue belt? what kind of Aikido are you practicing?

This is not a judgement call but If Tissier is among the best Aikido has to offer... how well does one suppose he would fare in a match up with the best other Martial Arts have to offer such as one of the Brother's Gracie. I am genuinely curious because I have never seen aikido in competition with any other style of Martial Art.

Don't get concerned about your system of aikido using colored belts. I've been involved in aikido for over 40 years, working in many different dojos and systems. Some use colors to designate different levels of white belt, some don't. No biggie. Just enjoy you practice and keep learning

he could at least use a different pant or something :p (5/5)

In my opinion this style of Aikido called aikikai (wich focusses on harmony and showie movements)doesn`t work for real. The only style of aikido that does work is Iwama Ryu (wich concentrates on Aikido as a true budo form) But hey that`s my opinion:)

Why this horrible noise/music

عزى الله ان الايكيدو ملعونة والدين

Che scandalo l'AIKIKAI! L'uso delle armi è praticamente azzerato e tutto quello che riguarda il Tai-jutsu è fatto solo ed esclusivamente in KI NO NAGARE, trascurando tutta la parte FONDAMENTALE del KIHON... continuate a prendervi in giro... vi consiglio di fare balli latini americani piuttosto che l'Aikikai, oppure se veramente siete appassionati a questa sublime arte marziale cercate qualche Dojo dove fanno lo stile Dentoo Iwama Ryu l'unica VERA forma d'aikido efficiente. saluti.
