Here is the basic aikido technique NIKYO in slow motion, applied against some grab and strike attacks. I did the technique in normal tempo, and slowed it down considerably in editing.
Nikyo (also called kote mawashi) is one of the pinning techniques, katame waza, as opposed to the throws, nage waza. It is a wrist lock, which is quite painful and hard to resist.
Here is my full-size and full-length video on nikyo:

Of course, speed is an important ingredient in all the martial arts. Still, I find slow motion fascinating to watch as well as to practice. If you learn to do a technique slowly, you can do it fast.
In aikido, the smooth circles and spirals of the techniques become evident in slow motion. I think it’s beautiful.
