Rolando Pintoy Dantes (June 15, 1940 – March 16, 2009) was an actor , champion bodybuilder and Filipino martial artist who trained with Remy Presas for over 30 years.
65-456: He was born on June 15, 1940, in the Philippines. He has also trained with other martial arts masters, such as Cacoy Canete and Edgar Sulite . He worked several years as a police officer before becoming an actor. He is one of the best-known Philippine actors. He has had leading roles in different films including "The Pacific Connection" and "Arnis: The Sticks Of Death." In addition, Dantes
130-413: A knife or sword. Kicks are generally reserved for upper-level variations; reasons cited include that falls from kicks are especially dangerous, and that kicks (high kicks in particular) were uncommon during the types of combat prevalent in feudal Japan. Some basic strikes include: Beginners in particular often practice techniques from grabs, both because they are safer and because it is easier to feel
195-581: A brawl to quickly down a gang's leader. Others consider atemi , especially to the face, to be methods of distraction meant to enable other techniques; a strike, even if it is blocked, can startle the target and break their concentration. Additionally, the target may also become unbalanced while attempting to avoid a strike (by jerking the head back, for example) which may allow for an easier throw. Many sayings about atemi are attributed to Morihei Ueshiba, who considered them an essential element of technique. Weapons training in aikido traditionally includes
260-451: A counter-technique. Aikido was created by Morihei Ueshiba ( 植芝 盛平 ) (1883–1969), referred to by some aikido practitioners as Ōsensei ( Great Teacher ). The term aikido was coined in the 20th century. Ueshiba envisioned aikido not only as the synthesis of his martial training, but as an expression of his personal philosophy of universal peace and reconciliation. During Ueshiba's lifetime and continuing today, aikido has evolved from
325-619: A martial art concerned not only with fighting proficiency but with the betterment of daily life, this mental aspect is of key importance to aikido practitioners. Aikido practitioners (commonly called aikidōka outside Japan) generally progress by promotion through a series of "grades" ( kyū ), followed by a series of "degrees" ( dan ), pursuant to formal testing procedures. Some aikido organizations use belts to distinguish practitioners' grades, often simply white and black belts to distinguish kyu and dan grades, although some use various belt colors. Testing requirements vary, so
390-555: A particular rank in one organization is not comparable or interchangeable with the rank of another. Some dōjōs have an age requirement before students can take the dan rank exam. The uniform worn for practicing aikido ( aikidōgi ) is similar to the training uniform ( keikogi ) used in most other modern martial arts; simple trousers and a wraparound jacket, usually white. Both thick (" judo -style"), and thin (" karate -style") cotton tops are used. Aikido-specific tops are available with shorter sleeves which reach to just below
455-501: A partner. Although attacks are not studied as thoroughly as in striking-based arts, attacks with intent (such as a strong strike or an immobilizing grab) are needed to study correct and effective application of technique. Many of the strikes ( 打ち , uchi ) of aikido resemble cuts from a sword or other grasped object, which indicate its origins in techniques intended for armed combat. Other techniques which explicitly appear to be punches ( tsuki ), are practiced as thrusts with
520-410: A purely literal interpretation, aikido is the "Way of combining forces" or "Way of unifying energy", in which the term aiki refers to the martial arts principle or tactic of blending with an attacker's movements for the purpose of controlling their actions with minimal effort. One applies aiki by understanding the rhythm and intent of the attacker to find the optimal position and timing to apply
585-403: A strike (perhaps with an ura type of movement to redirect the incoming force), or to an opponent who has already struck and is now moving back to reestablish distance (perhaps an omote-waza version). Specific aikido kata are typically referred to with the formula "attack-technique(-modifier)"; katate-dori ikkyō , for example, refers to any ikkyō technique executed when uke
650-426: A system of curving and circular strikes (corto kurbada); the strikes were used in conjunction with traps, locks, throws and disarms. Cañete began incorporating concepts of pangamot, ju jitsu and judo into his system as early as 1948; later incorporating aikido into his combat system. "Eskrido" or 'way of eskrima" was the name Cacoy Cañete gave to this revolutionary system of single stick combat. By 1952, Cacoy Cañete
715-418: A technique during training, it is the responsibility of tori to prevent injury to uke by employing a speed and force of application that is appropriate with their partner's proficiency in ukemi . When injuries (especially to the joints) occur, they are often the result of a tori misjudging the ability of uke to receive the throw or pin. A study of injuries in the martial arts showed that

Such adaptations are debated between styles, with some maintaining that there is no need to adjust their methods because either the criticisms are unjustified, or that they are not training for self-defense or combat effectiveness, but spiritual, fitness or other reasons. Reasons for
910-708: Is applied with motion to the front of uke , and a "rear" ( 裏 , ura ) version is applied with motion towards the rear of uke , usually by incorporating a turning or pivoting motion. Finally, most techniques can be performed while in a seated posture ( seiza ). Techniques where both uke and tori are standing are called tachi-waza , techniques where both start off in seiza are called suwari-waza , and techniques performed with uke standing and tori sitting are called hanmi handachi ( 半身半立 ). From these few basic techniques, there are numerous of possible implementations. For example, ikkyō can be applied to an opponent moving forward with
975-472: Is based primarily on two partners practicing pre-arranged forms ( kata ) rather than freestyle practice. The basic pattern is for the receiver of the technique ( uke ) to initiate an attack against the person who applies the technique—the tori ( 取り ) , or shite ( 仕手 ) (depending on aikido style), also referred to as nage ( 投げ ) (when applying a throwing technique), who neutralises this attack with an aikido technique. Both halves of
1040-862: Is diverse, covering both general physical fitness and conditioning , as well as specific techniques. Because a substantial portion of any aikido curriculum consists of throws , beginners learn how to safely fall or roll. The specific techniques for attack include both strikes and grabs; the techniques for defense consist of throws and pins . After basic techniques are learned, students study freestyle defense against multiple opponents, and techniques with weapons. Physical training goals pursued in conjunction with aikido include controlled relaxation , correct movement of joints such as hips and shoulders, flexibility , and endurance , with less emphasis on strength training . In aikido, pushing or extending movements are much more common than pulling or contracting movements. This distinction can be applied to general fitness goals for

Atemi ( 当て身 ) are strikes (or feints ) employed during an aikido technique. Some view atemi as attacks against " vital points " meant to cause damage in and of themselves. For instance, Gozo Shioda described using atemi in

The art of Daitō-ryū is the primary technical influence on aikido. Along with empty-handed throwing and joint-locking techniques, Ueshiba incorporated training movements with weapons, such as those for
1235-430: Is now practiced in around 140 countries. It was originally developed by Morihei Ueshiba , as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy and religious beliefs. Ueshiba's goal was to create an art which practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attackers from injury. Aikido is often translated as "the way of unifying (with) life energy " or as "the way of harmonious spirit". According to
1300-436: Is often referred to in its more general terminology as "life energy". Gozo Shioda 's Yoshinkan Aikido, considered one of the "hard styles", largely follows Ueshiba's teachings from before World War II, and surmises that the secret to ki lies in timing and the application of the whole body's strength to a single point. In later years, Ueshiba's application of ki in aikido took on a softer, more gentle feel. The concept

The term dō in Aikido is found in many other Japanese martial arts such as, judo and kendo , and in various non-martial arts, such as Japanese calligraphy ( shodō ), flower arranging ( kadō ) and tea ceremony ( chadō or sadō ). Therefore, from

In addition to the effect on his spiritual growth, the connection with Deguchi gave Ueshiba entry to elite political and military circles as a martial artist. As a result of the exposure, he was able to attract not only financial backing but also gifted students. Several of the students went on to begin their own styles of aikido. Aikido was first introduced to

Although Iwama style practitioners remained part of the Aikikai until Saito's death in 2002, followers of Saito subsequently split into two groups. One remained with the Aikikai and the other formed the independent Shinshin Aikishuren Kai in 2004 around Saito's son Hitohiro Saito . Today,
1625-556: The Daitō-ryū . At that time Ueshiba referred to his martial art as " Aiki Budō ". It is unclear exactly when Ueshiba began using the name "aikido", but it became the official name of the art in 1942 when the Greater Japan Martial Virtue Society ( Dai Nippon Butoku Kai ) was engaged in a government sponsored reorganization and centralization of Japanese martial arts. After Ueshiba left Hokkaidō in 1919, he met and
1690-429: The aiki that Ueshiba studied into a variety of expressions by martial artists throughout the world. Ueshiba developed aikido primarily during the late 1920s through the 1930s through the synthesis of the older martial arts that he had studied. The core martial art from which aikido derives is Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu , which Ueshiba studied directly with Takeda Sōkaku , the reviver of that art. Additionally, Ueshiba

Ueshiba moved to Hokkaidō in 1912, and began studying under Takeda Sokaku in 1915; His official association with Daitō-ryū continued until 1937. However, during the latter part of that period, Ueshiba had already begun to distance himself from Takeda and

The single stick is a training weapon used to represent a short sword, machete (bolo, pinute) or knife. During this time Cacoy Cañete revolutionized the use of the stick, incorporating traditional linear strikes (corto orihinal) with hooking strikes, butts, thrusts and developing

This form has the removal of the eight directions denoting the pre and post natal energies of genki ( 元氣 ) (Chinese – yuán qì ) also known in the Art of Aikido as "Source energy". The character for ki is used in everyday Japanese terms, such as "health" ( 元気 , genki ) , or "shyness" ( 内気 , uchiki ) . Ki has many meanings, including "ambience", "mind", "mood", or "intention and action", however, in traditional martial arts and medicine it

2080-534: The Japanese language outside the scope of budō . This has led to many possible interpretations of the word. 合 ( Ai ) is mainly used in compounds to mean 'combine, unite, join, meet', examples being 合同 (combined/united), 合成 (composition), 結合 (unite/combine/join), 連合 (union/alliance/association), 統合 (combine/unify), and 合意 (mutual agreement).

2145-444: The ability to relax the mind and body even under the stress of dangerous situations. This is necessary to enable the practitioner to perform the 'enter-and-blend' movements that underlie aikido techniques, wherein an attack is met with confidence and directness. Morihei Ueshiba once remarked that one "must be willing to receive 99% of an opponent's attack and stare death in the face" in order to execute techniques without hesitation. As
2210-500: The act of receiving a technique. Good ukemi involves attention to the technique, the partner, and the immediate environment—it is considered an active part of the process of learning aikido. The method of falling itself is also important, and is a way for the practitioner to receive an aikido technique safely and minimize risk of injury. Aikido techniques are usually a defense against an attack, so students must learn to deliver various types of attacks to be able to practice aikido with

Cañete acted in
2340-429: The aikido practitioner. In aikido, specific muscles or muscle groups are not isolated and worked to improve tone, mass, or power. Aikido-related training emphasizes the use of coordinated whole-body movement and balance similar to yoga or pilates . For example, many dōjōs begin each class with warm-up exercises ( 準備体操 , junbi taisō ) , which may include stretching and ukemi (break falls). Aikido training
2405-526: The difference and diversity of teachings, intention, and forms of aikido can be traced to the shift in training focus after the end of Ueshiba's seclusion in Iwama from 1942 to the mid-1950s, as he increasingly emphasized the spiritual and philosophical aspects of aikido. As a result, strikes to vital points by tori , entering ( irimi ) and initiation of techniques by tori , the distinction between omote (front side) and ura (back side) techniques, and
2470-565: The elbow. Most aikido systems add a pair of wide pleated black or indigo trousers known as hakama (used also in Naginatajutsu , kendo , and iaido ). In many schools, the wearing of hakama is reserved for practitioners with dan ranks or for instructors, while others allow all practitioners to wear a hakama regardless of rank. Aikido styles vary in their intention, due to its holistic nature. The most common differences noted in aikido, when observed externally, relate to

Some grabs are historically derived from being held while trying to draw a weapon , whereupon a technique could then be used to free oneself and immobilize or strike the attacker while they are grabbing the defender. Here are examples of some basic grabs: Here is a sample of the basic or widely practiced throws and pins. Many of
2600-524: The founder's philosophy, the primary goal in the practice of aikido is to overcome oneself instead of cultivating violence or aggressiveness. Morihei Ueshiba used the phrase masakatsu agatsu katsuhayabi" ( 正勝吾勝勝速日 , "true victory, final victory over oneself, here and now") to refer to this principle. Aikido's fundamental principles include: irimi (entering), atemi , kokyu-ho (breathing control), sankaku-ho (triangular principle), and tenkan (turning) movements which redirect

Stanley Pranin has observed that some criticism may stem from weak attacks from uke , allowing for a conditioned response from tori , resulting in underdevelopment of the skills needed for the safe and effective practice of both partners.

The study of ki is an important component of aikido. The term does not specifically refer to either physical or mental training, as it encompasses both. The kanji for ki was written in its older form as 氣 up until
2860-438: The movement of tori with the movement of uke . For example, an "entering" ( irimi ) technique consists of movements inward towards uke , while a "turning" ( 転換 , tenkan ) technique uses a pivoting motion. Additionally, an "inside" ( 内 , uchi ) technique takes place in front of uke , whereas an "outside" ( 外 , soto ) technique takes place to their side; a "front" ( 表 , omote ) technique
2925-428: The names of aiki-ken , and aiki-jō , respectively. The founder developed many of the empty-handed techniques from traditional sword, spear and bayonet movements. Consequently, the practice of the weapons arts gives insight into the origin of techniques and movements, and reinforces the concepts of distance, timing, foot movement, presence and connectedness with one's training partner(s). One feature of aikido
2990-435: The opponent's attack momentum . Its curriculum comprises various techniques, primarily throws and joint locks . It includes a weapons system encompassing the bokken , tantō , and jō . Aikido derives mainly from the martial art of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu , but began to diverge from it in the late 1920s, partly due to Ueshiba's involvement with the Ōmoto-kyō religion. Ueshiba's early students' documents bear

Some schools incorporate firearm-disarming techniques, where either weapon-taking and/or weapon-retention may be taught. Some schools, such as the Iwama style of Morihiro Saito , usually spend substantial time practicing with both bokken and jō , under
3250-511: The student relative to other attackers, is important in randori training. For instance, an ura technique might be used to neutralise the current attacker while turning to face attackers approaching from behind. In Shodokan Aikido , randori differs in that it is not performed with multiple persons with defined roles of defender and attacker, but between two people, where both participants attack, defend, and counter at will. In this respect it resembles judo randori . In applying
3315-774: The technique, that of uke and that of tori , are considered essential to aikido training. Both are studying aikido principles of blending and adaptation. Tori learns to blend with and control attacking energy, while uke learns to become calm and flexible in the disadvantageous, off-balance positions in which tori places them. This "receiving" of the technique is called ukemi . Uke continuously seeks to regain balance and cover vulnerabilities (e.g., an exposed side), while tori uses position and timing to keep uke off-balance and vulnerable. In more advanced training, uke will sometimes apply reversal techniques ( 返し技 , kaeshi-waza ) to regain balance and pin or throw tori . Ukemi ( 受身 ) refers to

The precise terminology for some may vary between organisations and styles; the terms presented are the terms used by the Aikikai Foundation. Although the names of the first five techniques listed are in succession, they are not universally taught in numeric order. Aikido makes use of body movement ([tai sabaki or 体捌き] Error: {{Transliteration}}: transliteration text not Latin script ( help ) ) to blend
3445-468: The term aiki-jūjutsu . Ueshiba's senior students have different approaches to aikido, depending partly on when they studied with him. Today, aikido is found all over the world in a number of styles, with broad ranges of interpretation and emphasis. However they all share techniques formulated by Ueshiba and most have concern for the well-being of the attacker. The word "aikido" is formed of three kanji : The term aiki does not readily appear in
3510-414: The type of injuries varied considerably from one art to the other. Soft tissue injuries are one of the most common types of injuries found within aikido, as well as joint strain and stubbed fingers and toes. Several deaths from head-and-neck injuries, caused by aggressive shihōnage in a senpai/kōhai hazing context, have been reported. Aikido training is mental as well as physical, emphasizing

According to Minoru Shibata of Aikido Journal : O-Sensei's aikido was not a continuation and extension of the old and has a distinct discontinuity with past martial and philosophical concepts. In other words, aikido practitioners who focus on aikido's roots in traditional jujutsu or kenjutsu are said to be diverging from what Ueshiba taught, as some critics urge practitioners: [Ueshiba's] transcendence to

Born in San Fernando, Cebu , in the Visayas region of the Philippines , Cañete was the youngest of twelve children. The martial art Eskrima was a tradition in his family, and he began training at age seven under his brother Filemon "Momoy" Cañete. Filemon had learned it from his father, Gregorio, and uncles Gavino, Pedro, and Juancho. Ciriaco Cañete

Steven Seagal 's film debut Above the Law (1988) is regarded as the first American film to feature aikido in fight sequences. The largest aikido organization is the Aikikai Foundation , which remains under the control of the Ueshiba family. However, aikido has developed into many styles, most of which were formed by Morihei Ueshiba's major students. The earliest independent styles to emerge were Yoseikan Aikido , begun by Minoru Mochizuki in 1931, Yoshinkan Aikido, founded by Gozo Shioda in 1955, and Shodokan Aikido , founded by Kenji Tomiki in 1967. The emergence of these styles pre-dated Ueshiba's death and did not cause any major upheavals when they were formalized. Shodokan Aikido, however,

Significant controversy arose with the departure of the Aikikai Hombu Dojo 's chief instructor Koichi Tohei , in 1974. Tohei left as a result of a disagreement with the son of the founder, Kisshomaru Ueshiba , who at that time headed

Koichi Tohei 's Ki Society centers almost exclusively around the study of the empirical (albeit subjective) experience of ki , with students' proficiency in aikido techniques and ki development ranked separately. In aikido, as in virtually all Japanese martial arts , there are both physical and mental aspects of training. The physical training in aikido
4095-609: Was profoundly influenced by Onisaburo Deguchi , the spiritual leader of the Ōmoto-kyō religion (a neo- Shinto movement) in Ayabe . One of the primary features of Ōmoto-kyō is its emphasis on the attainment of utopia during one's life. The idea was a great influence on Ueshiba's martial arts philosophy of extending love and compassion especially to those who seek to harm others. Aikido demonstrates this philosophy in its emphasis on mastering martial arts so that one may receive an attack and harmlessly redirect it. In an ideal resolution, not only

Cacoy Cañete was instrumental in popularizing eskrima in the Philippines. During the 1970s, he met with other members of the Cebu Eskrima Society and spearheaded the movement to create a unified regional and national tournaments with sport rules, to popularize art of eskrima. Up until this time, eskrima matches had been fought with no rules and no protective gear; eskrima skills were to protect oneself from multiple armed attackers. In 1979, at
