Talk:Irimi

Should this stub be merged somewhere?
As far as I know, irimi is an aikido term not used in other arts. I do wonder if we should have articles on every concept used in every art. Possibly we could merge it somewhere?

I tried to discuss maai in context, but did not really manage. I am surprised that article does not exist; it is used in all kinds the budo arts and should really be defined somewhere, much more so than irimi and tenkan. // habj 23:59, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * In Jiu-jitsu we use 'irimi' as well. Irimi in Jiu-jitsu is when the attacker is obviously trying to attack you, but comes dangerously close, and you attack him instead so he can't suddenly attack you.VDZ 20:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

The term and the concept is also used in Wado Ryu Karate.

Irimi is a concept that exists in many forms of martial arts, it is a huge part of the essence of martial arts. I find it amusing how when somebody says something along the lines of, "irimi is a term only used in 'x' style." What they are really telling you is, "I study 'x' style, its used in there... and I haven't bothered to do any research to see if its used in other styles.  However I still would like to try to educate you on something I haven't researched." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.58.208.8 (talk) 20:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
