Aikido Knife Defences

11 Jun

Aikido knife defence….

What happens if you take self-defence advice from men in skirts.

Aikido is so freaking gay.

 

About amica

I'm a petite 21 year old Sicilian-Irish girl born in Cork, who is very happily married to the sexiest guy in the world. When I'm not making love to my husband, I love wrestling, Sicilian knife and stick fighting, tactical shooting, hunting, Coursing, dog fighting, dog racing, dancing, driving my Alfa Romeo Giulietta, scuba diving, parachuting, skiing, playing on X Box, watching boxing and Rugby: I support Munster Rugby, Amatori Catania Rugby and the Azzurri. I've competed internationally in S'Istrumpa, beach wrestling, freestyle wrestling, grappling and Judo, and I'm doing a Masters in Strength and Conditioning. I collect guns and knives but I'm a good Catholic girl and go to Mass most days.

    Amica that is not fair, face an Aikido Master and he has his Harry Potter Magic Wand and uses his gay dance stuff it might works lol!

    Nice of the guy with the guy with the knife to go nice an slow in the Aikido video, all street muggers must always go nice and slow to give old ladies a chance. I suspect my great aunt could knock out that Aikido Master lol, but she’d use her cane! Remember an angry granny that is a hardcase and has escaped from a Nursing Home is more than a match for Harry Potter Aikido Master!

    Rick — too right. I like a comment you made on your video – “there’s nothing wrong with getting out the way” – the cardinal rule of Sicilian knife fighting is to avoid the enemy’s blade. That aikido demo is a classic example of not avoiding the blade.

    Yeah and if not Aikido master can use his Ki power to reattach his nuts that got sliced off in the attack. If not he can serve them up sliced, blanched, dusted in flour and fried in extra virgin olive oil.

    Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. I’ve never been in as knife fight but I’ve seen people stabbed and slashed. It ain’t you do this and I do that. What’s martial arts you do?

    @Amica

    Like most martial artists that have trained for a while I’ve studied various arts due to school closings and moves as well as just lucking out and meeting the right people, but here’s a short list

    Boxing
    Sho Ba Kan karate
    Cobra Kai Kung-fu (no not karate like in the movie)
    Kongo Do karate
    Aiki Ju Jitsu
    Tang So Do
    Unamed Kung-fu system from a friend
    Five Animal Style kung-fu

    I don’t consider this unique except for my teaching and behavior modification background

    Physical Education and Physical Education for Special Education
    In Home Tutor specializing in students with behavior challenges which helps me train people using alternative teaching methods as well as train them better mentally for a self-defense situation. Teaching and doing, regardless of how some may feel, are two completely different skills.

    All this mish mash over 37 years formed The Universal System of Self-Defense. A “simple” system stressing a holistic method of teaching refining gross movements as opposed to utilizing the part method of teaching.

    That’s about it really. I think the real secret is to keep an open mind and have as little ego as possible

    Rob and Steph I have a slew of martial arts articles I’ve written over the years. We all seem t to be on the same page as to what good self-defense is, I’d be happy to let you guys use them if you like. All I ask is to keep the about the author section intact.

    I’ve learned a lot from you folks and I am not one to just take

    The main problem I have with the Marc McYoung clip is why the supposed aggressor isstanding there like a muppet as McYoung quite obviously accesses a weapon?

    Hands going to the belt line during an altercation is a “Go” any way you train surely?

    I’ve seen clips of how Kelly McCann responds to this, and it looks like Lee Morrison has adopted the same move, since his trip over to “The Crucible”. ;)

    I know the lad I’ve been training knife and general fighty stuff would have me piling into the guy as soon as his hands went to belt or neck, or inside a jacket, bag or whatever.
    He’s ticking the boxes, and going from verbal to hands seeking, is the final check in his application for an attitude adjustment…according to Mick anyways.

    Maybe they were just going to have “a Straightener” is it? :)

    Gets out of hand and one guy brought a kitchen knife down his britches… bad day for both of them!
