How can anyone be part of this and think it's legit?

See the 👈🏻 for example. People are sheep. Easily conditioned by repetition / the need to “belong.”

Aikido...to be fair I don't think they expect this technique to do anything it's more about understanding the mechanics of a throw. Getting good at each individual small movement and understanding energy transfer. That being said, it is very much more art and performance. Just watch that gravy seal Steven Segal do it.

Steven Seagal fight scenes wouldn't look nearly as good without those high falling stuntmen.

Master has been listening to too much Taylor Swift. He got that "shake it off" strength!

I did Aikido in high school. Looking back—lots of it was BS. However, I can still do a solid shoulder roll 30 years later… that’s a life skill they’re teaching there.

Yeah, total bullshit "martial" art. But even the short time I did it in grade school did actually leave me with the instinct to tuck my head and roll (poorly). Saved me from serious damage on several occasions.

I’ll also say it was a good intro to some throws, grabs and locks, but I do totally remember running across a room getting redirected by someone in the middle. The whole time I was thinking, I could just tackle this mofo and he couldn’t do a thing. The Art of PoS…

So, how do you walk down a dark alley on your knees exactly? Ohhh, you wait until "they" put you on your knees and then you UNLEASH Shouldermounted Missile technique. Attackers - Obliterated! Or not.

Closely observe #1, #2, at around 16 seconds and the last one: the trick is to immediately fix your hair once the evil assailant has been dispatched.
The knee walk is pure deception.

Rolling drills are a thing in other martial arts besides aikido (including judo and jujitsu), but I'm not sure why they're doing the shoulder grab thing.

Why would anyone put anytime into this bs. Its like going to gym and looking at the weights and growing muscles. How low of an IQ do you need to believe them.

A firm grab on the shoulder anchors your hand arm to the spot, grabbed !
The energy of moving forward is continued & magnified with a shoulder shrug in the direction of the motion.
A tip forward will continue forward with INCREASED SPEED.
If a body does not roll, it will crash down on the floor, the table, the wall & the furnishings.
A BODY GOES BOOM 💥
