Abuse your Uke (Funny)

What is an aiki lock? Are they different than a bio mechanical method of locking?

I dont think they are different.

I think when the video creators were using that term they were talking about the opposite of Kiai.

ā€œ.

ā€œKiaiā€ implies the active state of one’s mind,
ā€œKiaiā€ is a condition of one’s mind in which one’s ā€œkiā€ or mental energy is actively concentrated upon an object.

When you focus a spearhand through a pair of boards,

, you are exploding Kiai... intent expressed with total commitment into a single act.

Whereas ā€œaiki,ā€ the passive state is about blending...or synchronization of bodies in motion.
And redirecting the intended action/expression of of an opponent through (biomechanics)

Catching a limb and using their expended energy to take control.

I feel aiki can also be demonstrated between two people in a non combative way. Look at the following two videos.

How to pass the baton and see the shot like Olympians
