【AIKI Web Course Part 2】Introduction with video | BUDO JAPAN

» At the starting of AIKI Web Course

In this introductory chapter, I will just show AIKI techniques with plainest explanations.
By watching these videos, I hope you will have an image of what AIKI looks like.

Method 1 – Waving

First, I show you an AIKI technique based on the method “Waving”.

This method uses human characteristics that if an outer force is applied to a person in a shape of wave motion, he cannot react nor resist it and cannot do anything but to be collapsed.

This is the simplest method to realize AIKI and accordingly is the easiest one to be mastered.

Method 2 -Undetectable Force Transfer

Next, I show you an AIKI technique based on the method “Undetectable Force Transfer”.

This method works as followings.

a) Your wrists are grasped by an opponent.
b) You move your grasped arms with a consciousness that your wrists were not grasped and your arms were free.
c) Then the opponent encounters the situation that you move your grasped arms in a way he cannot detect at all. Accordingly, he cannot react and resist it. And he cannot do anything but to be collapsed.

Method 3 – AIKI Connection

The third method is “AIKI Connection”.

AIKI can be realized by this method as followings.

a) You touch the opponent’s body very delicately.
b) He begins to be delusional that your hand was a part of his body.
c) If you move your hand/arm very delicately, he will naturally follow that movement.
d) You make use of his movement to collapse him.

Method 4 – Targeted Force Transfer

The fourth method is “Targeted Force Transfer”.

a) This method is similar to the method “Undetectable Force Transfer”
b) For Undetectable Force Transfer, you just move your grasped arm without being conscious of the fact your wrist is grasped.
c) Meanwhile for this Targeted Force Transfer, you set the target where you intend to apply your force. The target should be enough far from the grasped place,
d) The target could be, for instance, the opponent’s shoulder. You apply your force directly there and collapse him.

Method 5 – Force Equilibrium

The last method in this introductory chapter is “Force Equilibrium”

This method works as followings.

a) A person receives outer force at a part of his body, for example his lower arm,
b) He makes reaction against that force applied to his lower arm and a force equilibrium state is created between those two forces.
c) In such state, if an additional force is applied to him,
d) he cannot resist it and can be so easily collapsed.
