Aikido Moves In Combat Or Practice

A winner or a loser is decided by a split second move in any combat. To improve fighting skills it is necessary for the person to recollect what errors were made and where they went wrong. This way they can make the necessary corrections to their moves so that they fight better in the future. These are very common occurrences in competitions so students must learn the moves of Aikido so as to do well.

Like for example in the Ai hanmi Iriminage the attacker is grabbed by the neck and forced to the ground. In Ai hanmi Kokyuho, the only difference is that the arm is extended a little more so that maximum effect is achieved. Now suppose your attacker is armed with a knife then your best bet is to use an Aikido move called the Katate Ryotemochi where both hands are used to block the weapon and the attacker is disarmed before he is pinned down to the ground.

If you can get behind your attacker then the move called the Ushiro Ryokatatori will be quite effective. Here you can grab the opponent's shoulders and if the opponent is tough, then by applying the Ushiro Kubishime you can stop the air supply of the opponent for a brief time so your opponent goes unconscious. But like there are moves where you can block and make the opponent fall there are also moves where striking is used. In the Kata Menuchi maneuver the hand can slice into the middle of the forehead which can cause concussion and if that is not required then the Mune Tsuki is where the strike lands on the chest.

Legs can use a move that is commonly known in English as the leg sweep or the Aiki Otoshi. This is of good use especially if the attacker thinks that the student can use only his hands. This move will keep the opponent down to the ground. The Sankyo hold is the best to keep the attacker once he has been overpowered and subdued. The police use this technique a lot while waiting for their colleagues to arrive.

Aikido has about ten different moves and their names are in Japanese. A person should be able to tell the difference between all these ten. And when engaged in combat it will be any one move out of these ten that he will decide to use.

Enrolling in a dojo is the first step to learning this martial art. Look up your local directory and see if there is one close to your home and if the rates are reasonable for you. Then the student is given the rules to learn and he is taught how to wear the uniform correctly. Then they start teaching the right way to move for each stroke and it is only practice that will help them get it right. It is important to keep in mind that this type of martial art is for self defense only. What generally happens is that when the attacker fails in his mission he turns and runs and this is where the person attacked should call for help rather than chase.

Practice sparring is what will help condition the mind and body to be able to successfully engage an attacker in a struggle and pin him down.
