Then you just play aikido like you would have, trying to (hip)throw/suplex your opponent and dq them with it.

in short keep elbows straight as possible, when you get in final stage of throw just keep it the same way and basically wait. he will get his elbows to dq himself. just make sure you maintain lock of his chest and shoulders with your arms one up and down.

i will try to find some examples in my replays folder or make some fresh ones.

There's relying on it, and just using it to your advantage. If you only rely on contracting wrists, you'll easily lose.

I am an aikido duelyst and I beat people who contract their wrist. When I fought Shmevin in TBAP2k15, he wrecked me without the contracted wrists so... GGSHMEV

Well, yeah. This thread will probably make me used relaxed wrists in normal aikido.

However, since ABD is a bad mod, and wrist control is so fucking important there, I'll probably stick with contracting them there.

I personally really enjoyed these videos and think that people should start playing bushido style a lot more often.

My questions after watching these videos:

How do I remain neutral in order to attempt to react to these techniques? (Guessing the answer is noobclab and maybe go low, but as an aikido noob I have no idea if my instincts serve me well here).
How do I react to these techniques if I've taking a neutral-reactionary stance?

Bonus question:
What do I do whenever I expect my opponent will go for a "cheese" like contracted wrists or a shovel? - I know the answer for this one has probably been said elsewhere, but as far as this guide being an all in one aikido guide goes. Knowing what to go for/do in these situations would be very nice (Also not just asking to play devil's advocate or anything. I really don't know what to do here).

But ye questions aside, really like the videos. Might actually try and pick up aikido now after I get the answers to those questions.

Sorry if I miss anything out here snake, answering since you didn't.

Get lower, plant your feet on the ground and attempt to put him off balance, making him spin/lift himself up in the air. Ensure you help him land uncomfortable.

How do I remain neutral in order to attempt to react to these techniques? (Guessing the answer is noobclab and maybe go low, but as an aikido noob I have no idea if my instincts serve me well here).

Exactly, go low. Also try leaning back (Easy through contracting one of the knees) helps a lot and makes you very hard to lift!

How do I react to these techniques if I've taking a neutral-reactionary stance?

Get low, lean back, get throwing, profit!

Bonus question

Your opponent about to liftkick you? Shovel you? Sadly, many of these techniques are hard to counter without early preparations. My tip to you is to always clap, eventually you'll learn to counter everything, and then you won't bother thinking about annoying openers.


Extend your wrists, extend elbows, lower shoulders, contract pecs, contract hips and extend knees.

this movement might lift your tori, but it will also lift your opponent using your legs as a hook from below. Useful against shovels, the only counter I know to a lift-kick and excellent against suplexes.

Sorry for the delay.

Hopefully Snake will come and correct me some if I'm wrong, I'm happy to listen to what he has to say about this.
