hope you enjoy watching the fun bloopers version. go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8astVgCQ4OM for the 'proper' version. cheers! --------- disclaimer: 1) this video was made primarily for fun and exploration purposes. 2) the idea was to see how aikido would/could possibly used in 'real life' situations. 3) there are millions of ways one can attack and millions of ways one can deal with the attacks. these were merely responses based on the limited aikido experience that we had at the time. 4) whilst the initial scenario was planned, e.g. who played the role of attacker (uke) and defender (tori), the subsequent attacks and counters were spontaneous. 5) all participants in the video were as of the time the video was made (16 December 2007), junior aikido students. in fact, 2 of them are slackers who have been to training sessions less than 10 times in the whole year. unfortunately, i don't have the luxury of the same excuse, so any mistakes...
