Favourite Takedowns

[SamHarber]

Iriminage is my favourite, but I've no illusions about ever getting it on a guy who's expecting anything.

[Kensai]

I think probably a Shihonage, firstly because it is my favourite projection, but also its one of the Aikido throws that doesn't really require commitment from your attacker.

[Omega Supreme]

What are your favourite takedowns that actually work in a sparring situation? If you're going to use terminology then please explain it, here are some of mine:

The Salto: where you get double overhooks and then arch over backwards throwing your opponent over your body. I find this useful because I often get double overhooks from the tie up.

Hip Swing: you get a body lock on the other guy and then lift him, next you swing his body until it's more or less parallel to the ground and then slam him.

Double Leg: if anybody wants this explaining, I'll have a go, but I expect most of you know what one is.

Front Head and arm to ground: not sure of any technical names, but basically you have them in a front head and arm position and then you use it to pull them to the floor. You can then take their back or something.

Heh, you're a wrestler......
You do the salto? You must stay away from me..

I like the leg roll
Hip throw...especially the reaping version
Side overhead suplex
Full body slam
floating throw...or lateral
Circle throw (tomei nage I believe)...heh, without a gi is fun.

Go away I'm talking to myself

Tai Otoshi.

Turn almost completely around so your hip touches against theirs, a leg extended to block them from stepping out of it, with your arms gripping at their shirtsleeves. With your back to them, your arms are crossed over you, and all you have to do is twist your hips to the outside, and you'll pull them down.

But I like to follow that sucker up with a punch. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

[Pandinha]

Shiho Nage, Irimi nage... Yeah, those throws would work perfectly, just make sure the guy you are using them on is really good in UKEMI.

Please, Aikido has no use on the streets when a guy comes barreling straight into you to take your legs out.

You think you are fast enough to grab my jab and transition it into shiho nage? Please.

You think you can blend/deflect my jab and right cross and step to the side to do irimi nage on me? Please.

Sorry fellas, Aikido does not work in the streets.

[kusa]

it could if he either hit first or slipped your punches/absorbed them then after you were stunned threw you... its called modern application, either that or used his bokken to cave your head in the meditated on his ki after,

bwhwahahahha, still akido does suck the way its so pussyly tree hungingly taught!

[deus ex machina]

If by "work", you mean "against tomato cages".
And if by "streets", you mean "tomato cages".

Then yeah, aikido works.

Maybe if the aikidoka shot you and then ran you over with a car.
