SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VARIOUS AIKIDO AND REAL AIKIDO TECHNIQUES

Mladen Burazerović

This paper aims to point out the similarities and differences between the technical characteristics of various techniques in aikido i.e. its traditional form and the real aikido, a style developed from the traditional aikido, jiu jitsu and some other martial arts. The paper particularly focuses on techniques „iriminage“ and „irimitenkan kaiten“. The technique „iriminage“ (neck level throw) is used as a response to „shomenuchi“ (onward strike to top of head). In addition to the mentioned technique, which features certain differences in two previously mentioned martial arts, the paper also provides a detailed description of the movement technique „irimitenkan kaiten“ (step, turn, small turn). Minor differences in terms of technical characteristics in aikido and real aikido can also be found in the movement technique in „irimitenkan kaiten“. This, among other things, represents an irrefutable proof when it comes to the root beginnings of real aikido
