aikido is not about "how its shown" to viewers, it's not about competition, its not about defeating the opponent. Aikido is a way of life, the way of harmony, where nobody gets destructed, and both parts can continue their ways peacefully
@elendless absolutely right. its a self defence MA. there are no competitions etc. in aikido. i did it once so i know about it. but its reeeally effective once you get your agressor. and thats the problem. if hes quik ore very agile. you will have problems if you arent steven seagal and have a dan grade.
aikido doesnt suck! its never the art it fighter. aikido is about peace and its one of the hardest arts to master becase its not just punching and kicking there are certain techniques for certain attacks. attack a black in aikido see how it goes down for you.
@ukmale164: I've done that several times. Most simply sucked, some didn't do Aikido at all (they became more like karate fighters or boxers). Nobody who won against me used their Aikido technique (I didn't win all the time). Aikido just sucks balls.
You will never see an actual Aikido fight, WHY?? because unlike many other martial arts Aikido is battle tested. You have the choice to control or destroy no contest would ever allow real Aikido to be used due to the nature of it. One small turn off the wrist and pop there goes your wrist. Youtube has many video's on Aikido but until you set foot on the mat and feel for yourself you will never know. We have many people from different martial arts including MMA, Muai Tai, who all love Aikido
Methinks aikidoka (is dis da correct term?) should learn boxing or kickboxing an' train 2 counter throw each other there. I notice a lotta comments sayin' aikido may or may not b effective in real world scenarios... There's dat, and da fact dat there aren't any aikido competitions. Dis is just a solution dat could b offered.
Unless your willing to give up your hand then I cant see aikido working in a real life situation, you will notice in most clips the other guy leaves his hand out or is very slow so the aikido guy can grab the arm or hand, no one does this in a real fight, but would still help in some ways, its better to know something I supose then nothing if that makes sence.
I wouldnt be able to use most of the Aikido I know in a fight in a ring like MMA because it would most likely kill some one ! It is meant strictly for self defense not sport ! Yes I have studied a few styles But Aikido has saved myself and other I know agianst attackers with and with out weapons ! In the real world ! Its also one of the few arts that teaches you to deal with multiple attackers without passing out in five minutes !
@tftmist Aikido also works off taking an opponent's balance, against a trained martial artist, it would be much harder to fully execute techniques, most especially joint locks and elaborate throws. I believe, however, that the Aikido principals of movement and entering are superior to most other styles as a result of Aikido's lack of hard blocks or strikes.
@TheKus Not all Akido is elaborate ! some of the locks and throws can be very challenging thats the reason it takes some times decades to achieve a high understanding of this art ! Its true any one with any type of formal training can be harder to deal with regardless of your style ! How many arts have moves that use the opponents forces against them ! A lot ! Even though its from another style we regard that as Aikido as long as its using the other opponents forces against himself !
Hence why 'real' Aikido cannot be used in comp.. I went to a 'mixed martial arts contest' went to sign in and when they found out I did Aikido would let me play :( so i sat on the panel and watched :(

Aikido has helped me in more ways than even I could have imagined...people who say it's fake just haven't tried it for themselves or did not approach it with the right attitude. Aikido has saved me from several attackers, and I've only been doing it for a year or so...but one must approach it as a lifestyle, not just a 'martial art', which is a limited viewpoint and might or might not save you in a fight. I know many Police officers and army personnel who say they owe a lot to Aikido as well.
It is definitely difficult to find a great Aikido school in the U.S. nowadays. If you find one you should hold onto it for dear life. I know a number of people who were looking for Aikido schools that were geared more for street fighting and had great success with Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu and also Ketsugo Jujutsu dojos. Make sure that the teacher doesn't withhold information. If he does... it really doesn't matter which art one studies.
Most Aikido is used for restraint and control(Security and Law enforcement)so look it up on cops or something,I have used 5 of 7 Aikido locks effectively in self defense and 6 of 8 BJJ moves in fights.For low and mid level attacks and weapon attacks(drunk friend,shoves,finger pointing,grabs,and weapon control)use Aikido(preferably an offshoot of Seagal's)and for fighting use MMA(but dont try it in multiple attacks,crowded bars and knife fights)
lol this is called breakfall like wolf said this is to avoid Injury or breaking any bones imagine it without Break falling yes it will rip ur bones apart if they didnt fall in the direction u attacked them (I dont take aikido so dont flame me)
evry person studeing martial arts does have the knowledge to block or dodge the adversary. i se alot of fine arguments both ways but u have to rhink of this
we have somthing called the muscle memory, this memory is remembering your pattern when you fight and evrything else u do. your pattern and the pattern of your adversary is not alike, so depending on your reaction time and that pattern tels u who wins the fight.
that is way it takes time to lern it. ur muscle memory have to remember it
and thats why you should not fight to a set pattern, you should faint your oppoenent to make him move how you want but for most people who are studeing martial arts what you say is true
Have any of you skeptics out there ever asked yourselves why in Aikido demos do the aikidokas always roll when their attacks are detered? It would be an extremely painful thing for someone to compete against a "real" "redirection" because they are meant to actually break the limbs of the person attacking immediately! It is more a precise artform, not just throwing punches around hoping to hit the attacker. Thus the attackers must know how to properly roll avoiding a broken limb..
are you an aikido master? if so prove it. are you a big tough so called "pro fighter" that has conflicted with an aikido master? i dont beleive so. Looking at something and making judgements is one thing. ACTUALLY doing it is another. dont make assumptions without rock solid proof.
idiot... when your arm is in a position like that you dont have any other choise than go down it hurts so bad. GTFO or shut up if you dont know anything.
you are so right, it never will. the attacker will sh!t himself. there's a reason why they fall like that, it's called breakfall. your a bad martial artist for making bad comments about other arts. SHAME ON YOU!
But I've youre a realy Aikido master you don't need Tournaments, because Aikido is more than a Martial Art. It's a livestyl and I've you say, that he is a master, he won't fight other masters.
Aikido isn't that effective as it looks, I've trained in a Dojo where various masters were teaching their disciplines. Aikido, Judo, Karate and Capoeira.
Aikido Sensei was getting his ass kicked by all the others every month when they were doing a mini tournament. You can't really redirect all the force from yourself to your enemy like its said in a book, in real life you'll get your face smashed or stabbed while spinning around the guy.
BTW now I train BJJ and Muay Thai and they are awesome!
Well I gotta say, maybe that Aikido master wasn't very good.
Aikido is an art that in order to be good at, you need a good instructor. There are lots of Aikido doers out there that are superb and are effective. However, there are a LOT that aren't so good. BJJ and Muay Thai are alright, but there are lots of things in Aikido that are alot more valuable than those two. Again, Aikido is a good art that people need to appreciate more.
Isn't the fact Aikido sticks to its precepts (not fighting) worth anything?
Do what you want to do ultimately the best defense is never to get into a fight, I enjoy Martial arts but id rather avoid a fight...
Competetive fighting is pointless until it can be 100% virtual, some poor guy died in his first kick boxing match from a kick to the head, unlucky but no one should want to put themselves in that risk.
the entire nature of aikido is to avoid conflict all together. secondly, it is to subdue your attacker without hurting him, or causing him a minimal amount of pain or injury (enough to keep your self safe and to have your attacker eventually quit their aggressive intentions). it is essentially a police officer putting cuffs on someone and kindly sitting them in the back of the squad car. O Sensei studied Daito-ryu, aiki-jujitsu, judo and other arts. He also served in the armed forces.
I've seen a lot of people saying it is impossible to catch a punch in midair to throw the guy off his feet (not literaly rgab and stop it but deflect). This guy did plenty of it, and notice, he never threw a ppunch, but only flicked the guy to the floor a lot of times, (with an occasional hit just to slow the guy while he is on the floor).
Alot of people lack some abillity in grasping the difference between conceptual attacks and real attacks.
Aikido does NOT teach how to defend against a punch or a kick.
Aikido does teach how to redirect a force in a stated direction.
Aikido was built around the sword, as such every wrist grab is actually someone stopping you from drawing your sword but people fail to see that someone may grab at your wrists for say your phone or wallet.
I studies Aikido for three years. I was a brown belt Judo playerr and a Tae Kwon DO blackbelt before.
Now I'm 57 and I have taken up BJJ as much as it is hurting my body. If you are young and in shape, BJJ kicks ass. Old and weak, maybe female, learn all the Aikido wrist locks. It is a way a weak person can overpower a strong person. Forget the throws as few will really work against an experienced opponent.
akido if this ever happened to a jujitsu guy the dancing part wouldve led the guy into an attempt of a flying armbar or a scisor and whoever hes going against is a black belt he should be able to do more if he got that high rank
Many people misunderstand Aikido. True Aikido is walking away from a conflict unharmed. Preferably with out physical contact. That's maybe why Aikido is not 100% effective in a MMA fight. Since MMA is based on taking an opponent down pyshically. In real life situations most real fighting occurs when the outcome is actually already decided. One will never attack another out of free will when it/he/she is sure it/he/she is able to be victorious. Best way to win a fight is not fighting at all.
ok, i feel aikido is a good martial art,but i havent seen any video, where it is used in a real fight situation. what i see is always fully or partially choreographed "demo".so practically i donno about its effectiveness.
to do aikido in a real life situation means that it doesn't have to be a complex technique, my uncle was attacked by a man who wanted a cigarette so he gave him a palm strike to the neck and just gave him a goose neck till he stopped bothering him
hmm, i hope when a aikidoka really gets into a fight, he doesnt meet the same fate as the "kiai master" when he tried his energy tactics with an MMA fighter !!! well, but i hope someday, someone will post a real fight video of aikido.
You will probably never notice Aikido in a real fight. Aikido has techniques from other arts like jujitsu, in combat you almost only ever see a small part of the entire technique so it may look similar to one in another art. So you might not recognize it..
Aikido is defensive all (except Shodokan) have no sparing/points system. Just freestyle sparing/rondori. Hence no tournaments and no video, etc.
Lastly, most true Aikidoists would rather walk away than fight. At least in my experiance.
walk into an aikido dojo and challenge a black belt, best way to test its effectiveness, if u beat him with your street fighting then there ya go, if u dont then......
@ukmale164 i am no black belt or equivalent in any art, so me challenging an aikido black belt would be quite stupid. but if i come across a controlled fight where other martial art fighters have a fight with an aikido master, then things will be more clear.like i said before, i feel it is good, but i havent seen any vids yet.
@ukmale164 yup.. but i doubt a black belt will entertain an aggressor unless really really provoked.. and it would be no match at all.. another option is a green belt or a purple belt or even the white belts (beginners).. don't challenge the yellow belts and up, they're defense is too much for a street fight..
@yourtube20061 i also was searching for a real Aikido fight or a competetion on you tube, but did not find anything, Aikido is a defensive style based on breaking bones. so a real fight or a competetion would result in every one's breaking something.
@cloudchaser07 agree with that, but most martial arts masters wd say that the best is to walk away without getting harmed or harming anyone,but most other arts have competitions and some controlled real fights. i think some such fight video wd give more direct evidence about this.
@yourtube20061 coz you need to show it with break falls or the other guy would be hurt big time, lol i do aikido and we call it the wet lettuce effect, if you dont do the fancy rolling thats the noise you get when ur head hits the deck
@yourtube20061 Yeah, but its hard to find a real Aikido master because all the ones in America are fake and bastardized, and used for sport, or just Americanized, so the traditionality is gone. -_-;;
@yourtube20061 because aikido is pacific and dont have competition with any martial art like karate vs kung fu.This is different, is really effective on streets with ass holes but just an ignorant use aikido for win a tournament.Aikido is a combination with jiut jutsu with others rare martial arts.
@yourtube20061 If they aren't properly choreographed, the joint control would instantly dislocate or break the demonstratee's joints and bones. That's why you rarely see "real" aikido videos, because no one in their right mind fights against someone who is doing aikido without knowing exactly what move the demonstrator is going to do and how to flow with it correctly.
@shmina1 are u suggesting that aikido is the only martial arts with bone breaking techniques, or that those martial arts which have competitions are not "dangerous enough" ? a muay thai kick, a karate chop to the neck, a tkd kick, a jiu jitsu lock and many other things can be quite damaging and certainly break bones. they still have competitions and post "real" fight videos.
@Terminator632 i know, i watch his movies only to see those slick moves !! but would still love to see a controlled real tournament fight or something.
lol vincable1986. I do Aikido and before the take down you ready your oppents moves by there center stomach then you reverse thee attack so they are useless then once there on the ground you can do what ever you want to them because once you put them in a lock and if they struggle the can brake a bone or might be in serious harm. It all depends on how you want to treat your oppent either gentle take downs and some punches or by braking alot of bones to get them in a serious condition.
this is REAL AIKIDO it is DIFFERENT than TRADITIONAL AIKIDO and it is developt by Ljuba Vracarevic in EUROP and it is used for bodyguard training and in the army as well ( Rusian especialy )
Aikido is only useful for take downs. It does not teach how to fight before the take down and after the take down once the person is on the ground. aka. useless!
Kung Fu is where it's at! Well balanced art.
For strict on the ground fighting, def throw in some Jujitu as well.
Not accurate. Both traditional aikido and modern aikido teach a number of holds and locks used to control and subdue attackers. Aikido also teaches defensive strikes, usually using the palm or edge of the hand.
Aikido is the ultimate art for self defense and you can combine it with any kind of martial art especially with kyusho jitsu(Pressure Point Fighting). You won´t be able to react or to counter an aikido attack if the aikidoka knows what he´s doing! Trust me I train Aikido and was used to train Judo and Boxing earlier, but aikido is the best way to defend yourself without getting hurt cause in training you get used to fall and handle
weapons!!! Best martial art for me but everyone its own.
So you guys go after the joints in Akido. I hope nobody in any kind of martial arts, including yours never actually has to use it outside the gym. I don't know any martial arts, and suck at fighting so you won't have to worry about a guy like me messing with ya. I'm sure nobody screws with ya anyway.
I have to say that "pressure testing" is up to the dojo, the students, etc. Once one has reached a reasonable level of proficiency, it's time to be more adhoc/adlib and respond from there. We freestyle randori every class. The level of intensity is based on kyu and intent. No one learns from all out randori the first time. It seems that people want to see all out videos. The ultimate martial application will never be on a video.
Aikido is not meant to be a way to beat up people. It is the closest thing to religion in martial arts as you can find. It works very well in self defense which is what it was designed for. If you think otherwise you have never practiced it. I have sparred with all other types of arts and defeat them 8/10 times with simple moves that immobilize them without harm to either of us. Other arts want you to try and kill the other guy regardless of the type of confrontation. Aikido is Beautiful.
I respectfully disagree. As a second dan in Aikido, having practiced multiple styles, I don't believe it "works very well" as self defense for most people in most situations. It CAN work, under ideal circumstances. I also simply don't buy your claim that you win 80% of your sparring matches using only Aikido. Furthermore, please don't slander other arts--Aikido is not alone in using non-injurious techniques. The rest of us don't want to "kill the other guy". But yes, Aikido is beautiful.
Thats cool bro, just stating my opinion and now we have yours. But is does work for me and I have never (knock on wood) lost a fight in the street using only it and basic fighting instinct. I am no bad ass fighter but I know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to run! hehehehehe
The big difference is that Aikido uses joint locks and Judo uses hip throws. Neither are particularly good for self defense, partially because they limit themselves like that.
I didn't say what Aikido is "about"--I gave the major difference between it and Judo. Unless you mean that Aikido is not "about" self-defense, in which case I agree with you.
aikido uses some wrist lock but wrist locks are not at all what aikido is about. aikido also uses hip throws as well as many other techniques. but that is not what its about either, the principle go beyond that and if you would study these principles it would improve any MA that you practice and shuold help you defend yourself in most normal conditions just by practicing aikido.
Again, I never said what Aikido is about. I know that there are deep underlying principles. My point is that Aikido really doesn't use hip throws in the way that Judo does. Sure, there's koshinage (rarely taught) but that's still just a variation on a joint throw. Second, don't think that other arts--many other arts--don't use the same underlying principles that Aikido does. The fact that Aikido redirects an attacker's energy is far from unique.
if aikido is not about self defence, then what is it about? im thinking of starting it. from the video, it looks like self defence to me. a guy swings at you, you grab his arm, twist it, bring ihm to the ground, and go you wanna broken arm bitch? then you can kncok him out and run away, i dont see how its not self defence. its definately not a competition sport, or is it?
Two main reasons: techniques and style of practice. The techniques only cover responses to a few attacks, and although Aikidoka argue that the techniques can be adapted, no one practices adapting. The attacks are very stylized and idealized. Also, Aikido is hardly ever "pressure tested". Students are rarely if ever encouraged to resist, to improvize, or to act like a real attacker. It's very scripted. Finally, real self defense situations are rarely if ever discussed.
no the big difference is there is no full contact sparring in aikido, they just practice their moves with a cooperative partner. In competitive judo, they dont allow you to throw with any joint locks because you will break that joint when you fall to the ground if youre not careful. ex flying armbar. Judo is more than just hip throws, there's leg reaps, leg takedowns, sacrifice throws, shoulder throws, all sorts of stuff. point is get your facts straight.
Tomiki style Aikido does use full contact point-scoring competition. Yeah, it's rough on the joints. Get your facts straight.
I know Judo has much more than hip throws--you for got to mention pins and chokes, too. All I was trying to do, for Pete's sake, is inform a curious Judoka about the main difference he would see in an Aikido dojo.
i was in aikido... i used some of those moves before haha!... some u need strength and not prescision... but some of the just normal wrestling/mma like moves helped me take down a frikn 280 pound dude and i weigh 110 haha
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Raxisabominae and Grixxly - if this choreographed, fancy-pants wearing pile of shit style is so effective - why don't you see ANY successful MMA atheletes using it to win? I'll tell you why...because it's a CROCK OF SHIT. You can use your bullshit "dogma" excuse and say there's no way to "truly" practice 100% without killing each other. If MMA fighters can go 100% in the cage training...you fucktards can do the same with your balloon pants and dance moves.
I'm pretty sure those black belt jujitsu asked the same questions about the efficiency of Aikido as you before training with Morihei Ueshiba, yet I guess Ueshiba gave them a satisfying answer for them to train with him for many years.. oh, and if it was so useless, why did they bother training it? Oh, surely because they were stupid assholes and you know everything right? You just don't know what the fuck you're talking about. PS: STOP WATCHING AIKIDO VIDEOS IF YOU HATE IT SO MUCH!
akido is mostly joint locks which can't be used in MMA. So therefore its a moot point. There may be some practical use in self defense as all martial arts are. MMA is a sport, some Martial Arts are not sport at all and just for self defense and inflicting damage. See Bas Rutten and his fondness of groin strikes and you will see the difference.
MMA is a awesome combat sport but things like no using of small joint locks, eye gouging, groin strikes, open palm ear drum blows, biting, hair pulling are what differentiate it from Martial Arts.
Dude shut up if u see a mma fighter fight against a 100% aikidoka or a japanese jujitsuka on the street they will be fucked even faster than a naked women running true a bad neighbourhood.
Can we watch one video without someone bringing up ufc.... damn.
Aikido is SELF defense martial arts.... not a sport. Learn the difference between hard and soft styles of martial arts. Why would someone go up in UFC ring when their martial arts is based on the Uke attacking them.... and them defending themselves.
You are correct for the most part. The techniques are sound but the way they practice them is very unrealistic. I could actually say the same thing about modern Ninjutsu though.
I know what you mean. But then I've studied it for a long time, and eventaulyl people learn to resist, I knwo my sensei does. That's when you can practice. Also on the street, you adapt, and then you can execute true Aikido. But then with any martial art, there is no 'Realistic' way to practice. Even in sparring yuou just cna't
im a firm believer in training for what you intend to do. you think you can just change the technique to suddenly work in a street fight whenever you want? LOL
There is a realistic way to practice but most people are not willing to do it because you tend to get hurt. I think every real martial artist should go full contact no rules from time to time. It proves if you can use it or not. It should be supervised by several people though to have some margin of safety.
Yes I know what you mean. But the problem is that then sits outside of the insurance in most countries. Thus there is no... I should've said Legal way to really practice. I've gone madly full contact, but we've kept within the rules... well we haven't killed each other lol
I cant find a single real akido fight anywhere on the net just all demonstration stuff. A UFC akido fight would be awesome just to see if this technique is actually effective in real situations rather than staged performances...
i beg to differ, not because i take it, but because i have had it done to me. i asked the aikido maste ro fmy school to demonstrate a little bit on me. i thought i would just be able to pull away, but when i did, it felt like i was going to break my bones. it is very effective
I'd really like to see a real aikido fight on video.. but it's difficult to find because of the teachings that aikido are built on. It teaches people to be really passive and peaceful.
Also.. It is incredibly effective because of way it merges the aikido user's physical energy with the opponent and gives the aikido user control over what the opponent does. A lot of anatomical manipulation and biometrics. It's science.
MMA vs. Aikido is a put them in the ring and see. UFC is not going to have an Aikido guy in their octogon simply because of the government regulation they had to accept. I would love to see a retired but fit MMA belted champion go against an Aikido black belt. IT would be interesting.
Of course, but aikido's speciality is in destroying joints, much like BJJ but without having to get too involved in groundwork. Essentially it has its roots in samurai budo martial arts, which in battle is about destroying your opponent as quickly as possible & moving on, staying alert and able to deal with the next threat. In that respect it has much in common with Krav Maga, though I find Krav more straightforward. If you watch a KM demo it looks staged for the same reasons - risk of maiming!
lol... many ppl think aikido is useless for actual fight. which actually Wrong... You can try those people mastered the art... dont forget to put a video of you getting thrown :D
I have seen many events with great martial arts participants, but yet to this day, have I seen an Aikido dan of any degree, fight a real match...why is that???But oh well...at least it looks cool..
I think because the philosphies of Aikido don't gear towards competitve fighting. I also think that maybe because the aikidoka would essentially have to break bones to end the match. You can't really pull your punches with Aikido.
uh like many martial arts i think they use points such as hit to the mid section is 1 point. i think in aikido they do throws to the floor or something.
anyways their sparring is really stupid and only works b\w aikido vs aikido its similar to judo. unlike demonstrations, in a real fight the opponent has 4 limbs *gasp* did you guys know that aikido masters?
In Aikido, they only have to do one movement to win the match. That what they teach. This one movement hurt really bad or break the articulations, wich needs more time to cure than a broken bone (and must hurt more too)
I've rolled with aikidoist, judoka, and san soo guys. At first, they can hit you with stuff you've never seen before but it doesn't take a good MMAist long to adapt. The good 'ol ground 'n pound tends to win out. But a purse snatcher or mugger might easily get caught with a good wrist lock or throw. The bouncers Ive rolled with confirm that some aikido techniqued work find on drunkerds and the unsuspecting without causing lawsuits.
wow it looks like a bout from the fukin 80s piss poor editin an this stuff is nonsence i guarentee if u try this in a fight u wont win an it will end sublimly quik
Great another demo. With all due respect I know these guys are masters but when am I gonna see a guy not walking in like an oaf with his arms stretched out waiting to a technique performed on him.
There are definitely alot of techniques here that work in real life. I've been in several street fights in my line of work,and I know for a fact that joint locks and throws work. The challenge comes in learning leverage, but even those are basic concepts.
japan people are wise...

@ukmale164: I've done that several times. Most simply sucked, some didn't do Aikido at all (they became more like karate fighters or boxers). Nobody who won against me used their Aikido technique (I didn't win all the time). Aikido just sucks balls.

You will never see an actual Aikido fight, WHY?? because unlike many other martial arts Aikido is battle tested. You have the choice to control or destroy no contest would ever allow real Aikido to be used due to the nature of it. One small turn off the wrist and pop there goes your wrist. Youtube has many video's on Aikido but until you set foot on the mat and feel for yourself you will never know. We have many people from different martial arts including MMA, Muai Tai, who all love Aikido

Unless your willing to give up your hand then I cant see aikido working in a real life situation, you will notice in most clips the other guy leaves his hand out or is very slow so the aikido guy can grab the arm or hand, no one does this in a real fight, but would still help in some ways, its better to know something I supose then nothing if that makes sence.

Try Aikido out, then you will have the answer the key is not to be there to receive the punch in the first place.
Go on give it a try!!

I wouldnt be able to use most of the Aikido I know in a fight in a ring like MMA because it would most likely kill some one ! It is meant strictly for self defense not sport ! Yes I have studied a few styles But Aikido has saved myself and other I know agianst attackers with and with out weapons ! In the real world ! Its also one of the few arts that teaches you to deal with multiple attackers without passing out in five minutes !
tftmist 1 year ago
@tftmist Aikido also works off taking an opponent's balance, against a trained martial artist, it would be much harder to fully execute techniques, most especially joint locks and elaborate throws. I believe, however, that the Aikido principals of movement and entering are superior to most other styles as a result of Aikido's lack of hard blocks or strikes.

@TheKus Not all Akido is elaborate ! some of the locks and throws can be very challenging thats the reason it takes some times decades to achieve a high understanding of this art ! Its true any one with any type of formal training can be harder to deal with regardless of your style ! How many arts have moves that use the opponents forces against them ! A lot ! Even though its from another style we regard that as Aikido as long as its using the other opponents forces against himself !

I wouldnt be able to use most of the Aikido I know in a fight in a ring like MMA because it would most likely kill some one ! It is meant strictly for self defense not sport ! Yes I have studied a few styles But Aikido has saved myself and other I know agianst attackers with and with out weapons ! In the real world ! Its also one of the few arts that teaches you to deal with multiple attackers without passing out in five minutes !
tftmist 1 year ago
Aikido has helped me in more ways than even I could have imagined...people who say it's fake just haven't tried it for themselves or did not approach it with the right attitude. Aikido has saved me from several attackers, and I've only been doing it for a year or so...but one must approach it as a lifestyle, not just a 'martial art', which is a limited viewpoint and might or might not save you in a fight. I know many Police officers and army personnel who say they owe a lot to Aikido as well.

It is definitely difficult to find a great Aikido school in the U.S. nowadays. If you find one you should hold onto it for dear life. I know a number of people who were looking for Aikido schools that were geared more for street fighting and had great success with Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu and also Ketsugo Jujutsu dojos. Make sure that the teacher doesn't withhold information. If he does... it really doesn't matter which art one studies.

Most Aikido is used for restraint and control(Security and Law enforcement)so look it up on cops or something,I have used 5 of 7 Aikido locks effectively in self defense and 6 of 8 BJJ moves in fights.For low and mid level attacks and weapon attacks(drunk friend,shoves,finger pointing,grabs,and weapon control)use Aikido(preferably an offshoot of Seagal's)and for fighting use MMA(but dont try it in multiple attacks,crowded bars and knife fights)

evry person studeing martial arts does have the knowledge to block or dodge the adversary. i se alot of fine arguments both ways but u have to rhink of this
we have somthing called the muscle memory, this memory is remembering your pattern when you fight and evrything else u do. your pattern and the pattern of your adversary is not alike, so depending on your reaction time and that pattern tels u who wins the fight.
that is way it takes time to lern it. ur muscle memory have to remember it

SRBNSSRB 2 years ago
Have any of you skeptics out there ever asked yourselves why in Aikido demos do the aikidokas always roll when their attacks are detered? It would be an extremely painful thing for someone to compete against a "real" "redirection" because they are meant to actually break the limbs of the person attacking immediately! It is more a precise artform, not just throwing punches around hoping to hit the attacker. Thus the attackers must know how to properly roll avoiding a broken limb..

Aikido isn't that effective as it looks, I've trained in a Dojo where various masters were teaching their disciplines. Aikido, Judo, Karate and Capoeira.
Aikido Sensei was getting his ass kicked by all the others every month when they were doing a mini tournament. You can't really redirect all the force from yourself to your enemy like its said in a book, in real life you'll get your face smashed or stabbed while spinning around the guy.
BTW now I train BJJ and Muay Thai and they are awesome!

Well I gotta say, maybe that Aikido master wasn't very good.
Aikido is an art that in order to be good at, you need a good instructor. There are lots of Aikido doers out there that are superb and are effective. However, there are a LOT that aren't so good. BJJ and Muay Thai are alright, but there are lots of things in Aikido that are alot more valuable than those two. Again, Aikido is a good art that people need to appreciate more.

Isn't the fact Aikido sticks to its precepts (not fighting) worth anything?
Do what you want to do ultimately the best defense is never to get into a fight, I enjoy Martial arts but id rather avoid a fight...
Competetive fighting is pointless until it can be 100% virtual, some poor guy died in his first kick boxing match from a kick to the head, unlucky but no one should want to put themselves in that risk.
stingrae789 2 years ago
the entire nature of aikido is to avoid conflict all together. secondly, it is to subdue your attacker without hurting him, or causing him a minimal amount of pain or injury (enough to keep your self safe and to have your attacker eventually quit their aggressive intentions). it is essentially a police officer putting cuffs on someone and kindly sitting them in the back of the squad car. O Sensei studied Daito-ryu, aiki-jujitsu, judo and other arts. He also served in the armed forces.

I've seen a lot of people saying it is impossible to catch a punch in midair to throw the guy off his feet (not literaly rgab and stop it but deflect). This guy did plenty of it, and notice, he never threw a ppunch, but only flicked the guy to the floor a lot of times, (with an occasional hit just to slow the guy while he is on the floor).
SweetObserverMan 2 years ago
Alot of people lack some abillity in grasping the difference between conceptual attacks and real attacks.
Aikido does NOT teach how to defend against a punch or a kick.
Aikido does teach how to redirect a force in a stated direction.
Aikido was built around the sword, as such every wrist grab is actually someone stopping you from drawing your sword but people fail to see that someone may grab at your wrists for say your phone or wallet.
It is not the specific, it is the conceptual.

Many people misunderstand Aikido. True Aikido is walking away from a conflict unharmed. Preferably with out physical contact. That's maybe why Aikido is not 100% effective in a MMA fight. Since MMA is based on taking an opponent down pyshically. In real life situations most real fighting occurs when the outcome is actually already decided. One will never attack another out of free will when it/he/she is sure it/he/she is able to be victorious. Best way to win a fight is not fighting at all.

yourtube20061 2 years ago
You will probably never notice Aikido in a real fight. Aikido has techniques from other arts like jujitsu, in combat you almost only ever see a small part of the entire technique so it may look similar to one in another art. So you might not recognize it..
Aikido is defensive all (except Shodokan) have no sparing/points system. Just freestyle sparing/rondori. Hence no tournaments and no video, etc.
Lastly, most true Aikidoists would rather walk away than fight. At least in my experiance.

@yourtube20061 If they aren't properly choreographed, the joint control would instantly dislocate or break the demonstratee's joints and bones.

lol vincable1986. I do Aikido and before the take down you ready your oppents moves by there center stomach then you reverse thee attack so they are useless then once there on the ground you can do what ever you want to them because once you put them in a lock and if they struggle the can brake a bone or might be in serious harm. It all depends on how you want to treat your oppent either gentle take downs and some punches or by braking alot of bones to get them in a serious condition.

Aikido is the ultimate art for self defense and you can combine it with any kind of martial art especially with kyusho jitsu(Pressure Point Fighting). You won´t be able to react or to counter an aikido attack if the aikidoka knows what he´s doing! Trust me I train Aikido and was used to train Judo and Boxing earlier, but aikido is the best way to defend yourself without getting hurt cause in training you get used to fall and handle
weapons!!! Best martial art for me but everyone its own.

I have to say that "pressure testing" is up to the dojo, the students, etc. Once one has reached a reasonable level of proficiency, it's time to be more adhoc/adlib and respond from there. We freestyle randori every class. The level of intensity is based on kyu and intent. No one learns from all out randori the first time. It seems that people want to see all out videos. The ultimate martial application will never be on a video.

Aikido is not meant to be a way to beat up people. It is the closest thing to religion in martial arts as you can find. It works very well in self defense which is what it was designed for. If you think otherwise you have never practiced it. I have sparred with all other types of arts and defeat them 8/10 times with simple moves that immobilize them without harm to either of us. Other arts want you to try and kill the other guy regardless of the type of confrontation. Aikido is Beautiful.
elchopashop 2 years ago
I respectfully disagree. As a second dan in Aikido, having practiced multiple styles, I don't believe it "works very well" as self defense for most people in most situations. It CAN work, under ideal circumstances. I also simply don't buy your claim that you win 80% of your sparring matches using only Aikido. Furthermore, please don't slander other arts--Aikido is not alone in using non-injurious techniques. The rest of us don't want to "kill the other guy". But yes, Aikido is beautiful.

aikido uses some wrist lock but wrist locks are not at all what aikido is about. aikido also uses hip throws as well as many other techniques. but that is not what its about either, the principle go beyond that and if you would study these principles it would improve any MA that you practice and shuold help you defend yourself in most normal conditions just by practicing aikido.
Crazylalalalala 2 years ago
Again, I never said what Aikido is about. I know that there are deep underlying principles. My point is that Aikido really doesn't use hip throws in the way that Judo does. Sure, there's koshinage (rarely taught) but that's still just a variation on a joint throw. Second, don't think that other arts--many other arts--don't use the same underlying principles that Aikido does. The fact that Aikido redirects an attacker's energy is far from unique.
zhudson 2 years ago
if aikido is not about self defence, then what is it about? im thinking of starting it. from the video, it looks like self defence to me. a guy swings at you, you grab his arm, twist it, bring ihm to the ground, and go you wanna broken arm bitch? then you can kncok him out and run away, i dont see how its not self defence. its definately not a competition sport, or is it?
yoshilipitiss 2 years ago
Two main reasons: techniques and style of practice. The techniques only cover responses to a few attacks, and although Aikidoka argue that the techniques can be adapted, no one practices adapting. The attacks are very stylized and idealized. Also, Aikido is hardly ever "pressure tested". Students are rarely if ever encouraged to resist, to improvize, or to act like a real attacker. It's very scripted. Finally, real self defense situations are rarely if ever discussed.
zhudson 2 years ago
no the big difference is there is no full contact sparring in aikido, they just practice their moves with a cooperative partner. In competitive judo, they dont allow you to throw with any joint locks because you will break that joint when you fall to the ground if youre not careful. ex flying armbar. Judo is more than just hip throws, there's leg reaps, leg takedowns, sacrifice throws, shoulder throws, all sorts of stuff. point is get your facts straight.
azngoldflame 2 years ago
Tomiki style Aikido does use full contact point-scoring competition. Yeah, it's rough on the joints. Get your facts straight.

akido is mostly joint locks which can't be used in MMA. So therefore its a moot point. There may be some practical use in self defense as all martial arts are. MMA is a sport, some Martial Arts are not sport at all and just for self defense and inflicting damage. See Bas Rutten and his fondness of groin strikes and you will see the difference.

Yes I know what you mean. But the problem is that then sits outside of the insurance in most countries. Thus there is no... I should've said Legal way to really practice. I've gone madly full contact, but we've kept within the rules... well we haven't killed each other lol

I cant find a single real akido fight anywhere on the net just all demonstration stuff. A UFC akido fight would be awesome just to see if this technique is actually effective in real situations rather than staged performances...
Danster82 2 years ago
tell me about it man. im tired of watching demonstrations. maybe is not all that affective.

i beg to differ, not because i take it, but because i have had it done to me. i asked the aikido maste ro fmy school to demonstrate a little bit on me. i thought i would just be able to pull away, but when i did, it felt like i was going to break my bones. it is very effective

I'd really like to see a real aikido fight on video.. but it's difficult to find because of the teachings that aikido are built on. It teaches people to be really passive and peaceful.
Also.. It is incredibly effective because of way it merges the aikido user's physical energy with the opponent and gives the aikido user control over what the opponent does. A lot of anatomical manipulation and biometrics. It's science.

MMA vs. Aikido is a put them in the ring and see. UFC is not going to have an Aikido guy in their octogon simply because of the government regulation they had to accept. I would love to see a retired but fit MMA belted champion go against an Aikido black belt. IT would be interesting.

Well Aikido can be incredibly dangerous in a real fight. A lot of the things Aikido uses are banned in the UFC.
Elluem 2 years ago
Could you give examples of aikido moves that are banned by the UFC
ranhill 2 years ago
aikido moves are banned in ufc not because they are dangerouse
but because they involve small joint munipulation which is not allowed in ufc

broken small joints sound pretty dangerous to me.

no more dangerous then getting a muay thai round house kick to the head
infact ill take a broken finger over a kick to the head

A dislocated elbow can stop a fighting career though.

Of course, but aikido's speciality is in destroying joints, much like BJJ but without having to get too involved in groundwork. Essentially it has its roots in samurai budo martial arts, which in battle is about destroying your opponent as quickly as possible & moving on, staying alert and able to deal with the next threat. In that respect it has much in common with Krav Maga, though I find Krav more straightforward. If you watch a KM demo it looks staged for the same reasons - risk of maiming!

This whole UFC vs Aikido arguement is stupid, Aikido is purely about defence and getting anway with your life not some long drag out fight.

I have seen many events with great martial arts participants, but yet to this day, have I seen an Aikido dan of any degree, fight a real match...why is that???But oh well...at least it looks cool..

I think because the philosphies of Aikido don't gear towards competitve fighting. I also think that maybe because the aikidoka would essentially have to break bones to end the match. You can't really pull your punches with Aikido.

uh like many martial arts i think they use points such as hit to the mid section is 1 point. i think in aikido they do throws to the floor or something.
anyways their sparring is really stupid and only works b\w aikido vs aikido its similar to judo. unlike demonstrations, in a real fight the opponent has 4 limbs *gasp* did you guys know that aikido masters?
candyisbetternyou 2 years ago
throws end fights: especially when they land on a prickle bush.

In Aikido, they only have to do one movement to win the match. That what they teach. This one movement hurt really bad or break the articulations, wich needs more time to cure than a broken bone (and must hurt more too)

I've rolled with aikidoist, judoka, and san soo guys. At first, they can hit you with stuff you've never seen before but it doesn't take a good MMAist long to adapt. The good 'ol ground 'n pound tends to win out. But a purse snatcher or mugger might easily get caught with a good wrist lock or throw. The bouncers Ive rolled with confirm that some aikido techniqued work find on drunkerds and the unsuspecting without causing lawsuits.

Great another demo. With all due respect I know these guys are masters but when am I gonna see a guy not walking in like an oaf with his arms stretched out waiting to a technique performed on him.

There are definitely alot of techniques here that work in real life. I've been in several street fights in my line of work,and I know for a fact that joint locks and throws work. The challenge comes in learning leverage, but even those are basic concepts.
