all the badness..

There is no badness there, Rich.
People who know how to use a knife don't move or attack like that, Rich. Nor does your average domestic husband/housewife, drunk or idiot.
The defense are examples and not fighting, but they are still highly problematic.
I understand that you don't know that, or anything about that subject.
Look for training that offers feints, in and outs with positioning, standing behind the knife, and off hand work.....from both parties.

Bruno's stuff is good and bad enough for me..

thanks for the tips - will do

[vagabond]

Yeah. What bodywork said.

Additionally his aikido is terrible. The last video of his showed him just kinda fucking around, showing off. Every sankyo and shihonage he did, he ducked under uke's arm like a VIP ducking velvet rope. Uke had all the time in the world to grab a choke or neck crank, and his frame was never compromised

I didn't know he was an Aikido-ka. Makes sense though. Its consistently at the top of the list for the dumbest martial movement; both in defense and offense. The techniques? If you forget the uke, they can be a pretty decent tanren ( solo form).

Weapons?
They are an embarrassment.
Thankfulljy, there are a bunch of people trying to fix that.
Even though it is obvious... Many in the art have no clue at all as to what really works or not. How could they?

Spot on.

Looks like someone who came up with his own moves after playing with dull training knives for too long.

The numerous instances in which he allows the blade to rest on his tricep and elbow are simply suicidal.

Yup.
As a friend of mine (menkyo in two Japanese arts) likes to say:
TGIF....it isn't just a restaraunt.

It's another instance of too much playing in limited environments.
Aikido people fall victim to this. Uke/nage is great to TRAIN your shit, but then you need to pressure test it outside of aikido or YOU?.... You end up with? Shit!
They think testing it on an aikido crash test dummy?
IS... pressure.
It leads to a never ending series of false positives all based on the blind leading the blind.
Few have the stomach to try and make IP/aiki viable against wrestlers/ jujutsu/MMA people.
Why?
When you first start out....
It hurts!

[Ian]

Agree with everything Dan says here.

Why does the OP vid look nothing like this? Hmm.

[wayne hansen]

Training is training
Nothing wrong with his stuff
Not a lot different to what I trained with tony Diego,Edgar sulite and Christopher rickets
Sure it is not a real fight but show me people in real knife combat on a regular basis

Bruno loves his MMA and all the rest. It would be neat if you guys could meet so that Bruno could round things of with aiki. I will let him know your existence.

I have nothing to say to anyone who thinks any of this goofy attacker shit will work.
Its pointless to even begin. You need your martial eyes opened. This stuff is pure nonsense that will see you maimed or killed.
