Excellent video!! Not only do you cover the intricacies of Ikkyo, you cover all the component concepts like Otoshi, Atemi, using Tsugi Ashi to maintain Mai and how you need to adapt to your ukes.

In our Iwama Dojo we have a kohai who is around 2.05 m and 105 kg working as a security guard. We always like to train with him since we need to do 'things differently' to make the techniques work. Good video sensei..

Ikkyo is all about having access to the underside of the elbow. It's actually easier for nage to gain this access if they're shorter than uke.

Can you show this from shomen attack. I'm guessing it would be alot more difficult on someone tall

@AIKIDOSILVERDALE 2 жыл бұрын

Great question Daniel, and the answer is basically no. Someone this tall striking down would pose a lot of problems, and ikkyo would be waaay down the list of appropriate solutions I suspect. The bigger question is does anyone actually attack in the way if shomenuchi in reality? When people fought with swords sure, but open hand striking is either a jab, cross, roundhouse uppercut hook etc, never the straight down open hand we see in shomenuchi, so I'd not be too concerned about it tbh.

@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE I pretty much agree with your points about hanmi-handachi, suwari waza and things like shomenuchi not being 'modern day practical'; however, if you eliminate everything not immediately practical from keiko, we won't have much left in aikido, I fear.... (my knees are shot too, so I also avoid shikko, suwariwaza and even seiza as much as possible; but next is no longer doing ukemi, then no longer doing immobilisation holds, ... I still do what I can)

@AIKIDOSILVERDALE Жыл бұрын

Exactly. You do what you can, and add or remove what you need to to make the art relevant for your needs. Blindly following a syllabus just for tradition's sake in the age of limitless information is illogical. Welcome to the channel BTW!

@Gronked 2 жыл бұрын

You could just train this from hamni handachi in pretty much anyone, and you'd have the height differential you're after, right?

@AIKIDOSILVERDALE 2 жыл бұрын

You could indeed, however hanmi handachi is a bit redundant as a training method nowadays I think, why bother to apply technique from that position when you can simply stand up? If you lived in feudal japan and couldnt stand higher than your superior This had social validity but it's not relevant in modern day new Zealand lol.

@Gronked 2 жыл бұрын

@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE yes, but hanmi handachi teaches you to generate power without relying on your legs to do it. It teaches effective hip movement, as well as learning to bring uke down to your level. There's more to it than 'nobody kneels down anymore.'

@AIKIDOSILVERDALE 2 жыл бұрын

But you can train those principles in far more practical ways. Hamni handachi is redundant as a modern training method. I'd much rather my students learned to stay on their feet where possible.

@@AIKIDOSILVERDALE I'll admit it's not my favourite thing to do, but i'm hesitant to dismiss training principles 'because I know better'. I've written off certain aspects of training or techniques for years before one day realising 'ohhh, that's what that's for.'
