Thank you Aikido flow and thank you Jason, for the real world application of Aikido Concepts and technique. Thank you also for "Jason's Flow". It has been a while since I heard it. Please include it when you can and all of your videos.

I am watching you from Romania, and I like you a lot. You are a nice people and I have learned much things from you. Bravo.

3 years ago, I would have thought this is a completely improbable scenario. Then one merry day, I found the hands of a stranger 3 inches from my throat. I still do not know why, as I am an ordinary old man who has offended nobody as far as I know. He attacked from behind and I turned to fight, expecting to lose because he was a great deal younger and stronger. Whatever his reasons, the stranger decided to flee rather than fight a victim who is fighting back. I fear a less decisive response might have cost me my life. Well, we old folks are slower and weaker than we used to be. If you find time to teach us how to compensate for these changes, perhaps millions will benefit. Thank you for your instruction.

I really like your videos. And I think you guys, (and girl), really enjoy making them. At least you act like you're having fun as you do them. It makes it easier to do if you enjoy your work. Thanks a lot for doing these for us. South Carolina, USA. 🇺🇸

I like Aikido

A great video Jason, I really love your techniques, I used to be bullied a lot, and my heart would thump with fear, is there any way you could do a video to help your nerves when you are getting threatened?

Y’all got great videos and info. Much appreciated and keep it up. Wish y’all all the success

A traditional Aikido technique I have seen in that type of attack is sort of a variation on the "Heaven and Earth" throw (I forgot the Japanese term for it) .. Basically, using your left hand you press down on the top of the attacker's right forearm as you use your right hand to press up on the attacker's left forearm from underneath while suddenly pivoting your body to your left. This combination of force and movement causes the attacker to be thrown handily to your left.

Greets from Greece! Very informative videos!

Excellent video as always! Thanks much.

This is better it is great you both are teaching a valuable lesson and having a great time doing it. Thankyou.

Aikidoflow is important to show the taisabaki or footwork in the video.. Love your videos by the way 👍👍

Loved the video, we call it Iriminage, keep doing your thing. Cool.

Very practical, even for a smaller person. Great video.

Hi im jamal from morocco im following this is 1year half I want to tell you good work guys👍

@8:18 did anyone else think a fly landed on their screen? 😂 Another great video you guys always do an excellent job.

Very informative Aikido lesson

I love your videos..

Nice video as usual Greetings From Paris

Very good video for people who might have to defend themselves in any conflict like this

Nice one, the tenshinage works well once you know how to properly move you hips during the zigzag and esequilibrate your opponent

I enjoy attending the Aikidoflow Training Academy 👋🏿 👋🏿!!

Good stuff, thanks

Nice. With that leg sweep you don't even need the hand under the chin unless you fail to get his balance.

The video is pretty nice but what I really wanted to know is how to protect when they do it from behind

Thanks for sharing your hard work and

great vid

You can get hold of his fingers if the attacker's fingers are not tightly held together. Finger locks are used in Small Circle Jujutsu and in Daito ryu Aikijitsu. Very effective.

Interesting comment about enjoying the training at the end.... and probably deserving more attention, especially for the shodans and shidoins amongst your audience cheers 👊

Dope video

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah 🤙🏾

I was thinking about talking or maybe having a small class with our students on anti bullying and self defense, is there something I should definitely say and talk about or anything I should not say or talk about

1:21 whoooaa Mind = Blown.

love to ya bro.You left out the first part of the technique work work work polish polish polish years worth..I love to look at your videos and adapt it to a loser like me. I am just a 270 lb draft horses ass from a tugboat...5 10...lets see running is out because I am to old and slow. (61), and I am bringing the fight causing the confrontation (me bouncer you out)....LOL I thought in aikido you waited for the "gift". That hand on the neck is the gift, when he gives you this gift you take it and joint lock him to inflict pain with no damage and throw him out of the bar...see ya next saturday night...lol,. I am happy to see the single finger moves gone over and over..when you go to that you eliminate a lot of the physicality aspect..you need to have a lot of talent if you are a 120 pound woman getting choked and you turn loose of that finger, like a sifu do!!! you said it only controls a guy for a second, (you failed to say unless you break that finger, and keep a hold of it).If a woman was being assaulted and used the single finger technique to snap that bone, she can kill him with it if she doesn't turn loose of that finger..he will go into shock and die if she keeps twisting the finger.That aside I thought aikido was special because of the "I am not afraid you, I don't need to hurt you, you are not a threat" philosophy karate can take a life and take a bar in a flash..aikido can save a life and spare a bar forever.

Slightly more useful than the lesson your buddy gave telling people to land their punches on the pinky knuckle. It was more like a lesson in how to give yourself a boxer's break that'll require metal pins and therapy to heal.

In my 40 year career-- before my accident--- I've never ONCE been choked or had anyone to ATTEMPT to choke me--- except in CLASS..

Thanks the chicken won't have a chance...... sincerely Peter Griffin ♥️

Ouch, poor Andre!

God Bless You All

Hi friends! I'm following you guys from Argentina!. I like to learn more about arm locks. I get confused because when you have to lock, if you try to turn to the wrong side it doesn't work. And I'm sure in a real situation you don't have time to think about the move... You have to react quickly. Could you please make a video about this? Thanks a lot! See you!🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Great technique; very effective. RE: 1st technique; Why not a knee to the groin instead of a sweep? Picking nits but sometimes a drunk hooligan can take a fall easier than a hard shot to the groin if they are wearing a heavy coat etc which breaks the fall.

PS: Don't walk in the street with your hands in your pockets ahah!

Am having a fight tommorw with a 17 yr old but am only 12 so yh am pretty good at fighting and am learning right now so yh.

I cringed the second he said finger joint i knew exactly what was coming (and it bloody hurts)

I was just wondering does the letters KA at the end of some martial arts just mean student, practitioner, or some one who studies that are like Karate-ka, Judoka, aikido ka, why, how, or when is it used, why don’t others use it like there’s no Taekwondo KA or Taekwondo-Tae, kajukenbo-ka, Tukong-tuk

Sure, no point in waiting but that "feeling" that something will go south any moment now is a whole other skill that I'd much appreciate some tips on, apart from just the technique. You move when you have decided that it's appropriate and waiting usually means not having assessed the situation properly to make a decision.

Pls help Andre back up after you toss him to the ground :)

It was funny me this guy was actually horse playing he had me in neckgrab I kinda tucked in n ended up doing the rock bottom lol I could have lifted him up but I stop my self lol

Watch "The Family Man" on Amazon prime, you will meet 1st out of your 7 look alikes

From my senpai. He showed us a demonstration of how to get out of a choke hold. However i don't find it's comfortable. All you do is step back with a shoulder slung back as you in the motion of pulling out the choke hold. ..🙄

Man looks like sensei kreese

i used that once at Black Angus...............never thought about the rock wall that the guy bounced his head off...........and never thought i was doing martial arts....................i just hate homeless people.

Break the finger

ll

Ya, you have 5 or 6 seconds before pass out if they know how to apply a good blood choke, but barely anyone can do that, and straight armed choke from the front just goes on the wind pipe, and you can take that for upwards of a minute (depending on how hysterical you are or aren't). Thus why the stereotypical movie choke out is simply dumb and inefficient. But I get that that's what your average person would do, so thanks for covering it.

You've already been called out on this and are still repeating stuff that can get your students killed. Why do you do that with the second technique? If you're significantly weaker than the attacker, say a typical woman attacked by a typical man, trying to separate and break a finger probably won't work. While you're scrabbling and trying to get a grip and wondering why it's so difficult you're losing consciousness. Also, pain compliance depends on the bad guy being reasonable enough to stop when he feels pain. If he were reasonable he wouldn't be trying to kill you. A choke is deadly force. If the attacker is also bigger and strong than the defender it's serious enough that the Law - even in the UK - would say you can do whatever you need to to stop it including killing the attacker. Giving him an owie and hoping he says "ouch" and stops is a dangerously insufficient response. There are other techniques, even Aiki techniques, which are much more effective and appropriate in this situation.

Aikido is bullshit for fight! Try any aikido technique on bjj guy and u will see!

I hate your loooooooooooooooong slowwwww starts

Nomsense.

Ya alright. Like the offender is gonna stay and wait for you to do 3 moves... 😂 when I got grabbed by my neck, it was at a super short distance. The only thing that could free me and did free me was a wide swing and blow to the guy head/neck. And even then, it wasn't landed as intended to, because the dynamic in a fight is not STILL. There's no rules to a street fight. There's no honour neither. You do what you need to.
