The ruleset would combine shotokan style sparring with judo and tomiki aikido.

The ranges would include atemi waza, tachi waza, newaza

Basics of scoring

Ippons and wazari would be the criteria for scoring, based loosely on the way ippons work in judo and karate

The fighting area would be similar to a wrestling mat, and certain scoring would be made in order to incentivize pushouts without turning it into sumo

Atemi Waza

Ippons

• A good form atemi waza* which knocks an opponent over, including tomiki style atemi techniques
• A knockout
• Visible damage cues such as rocking someone or instilling a timid demeanor after the strike connects

Wazari

• Kicking out an opponent's weighted foot so that they fall over

• Landing a hard atemi waza* strike to the face or body with which does not result in visible damage cues

No score

• Landing a strike that is not an "atemi waza"
• Landing a strike which would otherwise score while a grip is established. You may do this for damage purposes but it will not score.

*By atemi waza I understand that techniques such as uppercuts or hooks would still be considered atemi waza, but for the sake of 1. Allowing bareknuckle competition and 2. Encouraging cross training from other traditional martial arts I think only curriculum atemi waza (shomen uchi, yokomen uchi, tsuki to the body, tomiki atemi, roundhouse kick, front kick, side kick, etc.)

Tachi Waza

Ippons

• A throw which lands with proper control on the ground for more than 1 second
  • You may be standing above them with control over 1 or 2 arms such as aikido osaekomi waza
  • You may be pinning them using judo osaekomi waza
  • In either case you must be past their legs
• Throwing someone off the fighting area with a projection throw or pushout without stepping off the mat yourself
• Submission

Wazari

• A throw which lands without control
• Stepping off the fighting area second after your opponent in a push out or projection throw
• Throwing someone and landing in their guard

All throws which do not aim to throw the opponent by potentially breaking their joints are legal. Throws notorious for being potentially dangerous will result in loss of a wazari unless perfectly executed, and an instant DQ if they do in fact result in an injury. This includes techniques like kani basami. This also includes aikido wrist throws, etc. What it does not include is doing seionage over a straightened elbow and hoping uke jumps for you. Joint locks must be executed as a submission attempt

Lastly you must grip the majority (3 or more) of the fingers to use them in joint manipulation

Newaza

Ippons

• Submission
• Controlling an arm using aikido osaekomi waza* and using it to deliver a single clean, hard atemi waza
• Controlling the arm using aikido osaekomi waza and maintaining control for 5 seconds
• Controlling uke using judo osaekomi waza for more than 15 seconds
• Picking uke up over your head while they have guard or a submission attempt

Wazari

• Creating space to where you're standing above your opponent and land a hard atemi waza technique to the face
• Landing a strike to the face after isolating an arm so that it's difficult for uke to defend himself
• Pushing uke off the mat while on top

*Aikido osaekomi waza refers to the phenomena of standing above the person while they are either face down or face up keeping them down using only using joint manipulation of the arm

Additionally what drills might I use to develop sensitivity to the techniques, IE uchikomi to develop a feel for fitting for a judo throw, are there drills that best represent how to enter wrist locks or arm locks from standing ?

Hi Everyone. I am looking to start my martial arts journey and one of the martial arts I am considering is Aikido. Not looking to learn self defense or any like that, just interested in improving my agility and flexibility as well as learn an interesting art form. One of the dojos by where I live practices a “Non-Competitive” form of Tomiki Aikido, and wanted to know more about what that entails. I know Tomiki aikido does do some form of sparring unlike other Aikido styles, so don’t know exactly what this means. Does it mean they don’t participate in competition but still do dojo sparring or have they removed sparring altogether? Hope someone can help make this clearer. Thanks!

The following is a workout routine that worked well for me, your mileage may vary. This was made for me by someone more knowledgeable than myself in these matters and is loosly based on the Joe Weider (Judoka and Mentor/Trainer to Arnold Schwarzenegger) Judo workout. It assumes an additional 2-3 days/week of classes with significant warmups and cool downs totalling at least 30m:

Arm Day (2x/Week)

Warmup & Stretch

Leg Day (2x/Week)

Warmup & Stretch

Cardio (1-2x/Week)

Your class can be your cardio day depending on how much randori or warmups you do. Otherwise begin a cardio-centric routine of your choice, Interval, HIIT, running, etc.

Rest

One day per week should be set aside as a rest and recovery day. No weights, no practice.

* Day one of a new weight training routine should be an assessment day and not necessarily a full workout. The weight for each exercise should be that where you reach muscle failure at the prescribed number of reps.

As you acclimate to regular weight training, allow your body to completely heal before resuming until recovery for a specific muscle group is under 24 hours. DO NOT EXERCISE OVERLY SORE MUSCLES!

Lastly, CHART YOUR PROGRESS and increase the weight once you find that you can do more than the prescribed number of reps.

Hey guys, this isn't strictly Tomiki aikido but this sub, while small, seems to be more open to the discussion of the practical application of aikido (and aikido like arts) than r/aikido.

I was wondering if any of you are familiar with Robert Silas and his YouTube channel? He seems to be someone who was, or is, involved with one Daito group or another as well as being a bjj black belt and having judo experience. I'm not so much interested in criticising him but interested if anyone has anything constructive, positive or negative, to say about any of the techniques in any of his videos.

Consider registering if you’re in the area. Less than 20$ session at a good location, lots of amenities.

Aikido (Tomiki Style)

An art of self-defense utilizing strikes, arm locks, wristlocks, and off-balancing techniques to control or defeat an opponent. Aikido techniques have a direct application in police work and personal self-defense methods. At SUNY Westchester Valhalla: CE-SPORT 2000, PEB-Mat Room, $275.
