aikido is not for showing off. i will just say to you all SHAME ON YOU. most of the martial world is laughing on many aikido dojos, and many people are laughing at aikido... thats sad, when you see a lot of people doing harry potter fake techs under fake masters
@frageater16 In Aikido you train how to fall so as to not get hurt so in real life it would not look as pretty as that... it would be much more devastating
@frageater16 if u are thrown by an aikido master or weary good practitioner then yes u will fly :D if u are thrown by someone who dont do the technique 100% correctly you will not fly so much but it will be enough to harm u.
is it just me, or is aikido the most nonchalant looking martial art, most aikido guys i've seen who fight just stand there real stern and casually, like they aren't using a lot of energy, not saying thats bad, just strange
@fwwaller not strange for me. it's a condition that we must relax. relax can make us moves better and easier. i think you should train aikido, so you can more understand. i can't describe it with words.
@fwwaller You can't properly fight if you are not relaxed, Aikido is about mental strenght also. You are not using much force, because you are using slight energy just to get your body balance back. You are just changing the force of your oppopennt and using it against him.
42Cleve in bjj you learn throws and takedowns too!. Weapons can be a problem but I've never come across them in a street fight yet have you! And if you do regardless of what your trained in WALk or RUN away. And why when people talk about street fights do they always assume it involves more than two people. If i think about fights I've been in it's always been one on one.
@scaife4589 Sometimes you won't be able to walk or run away. In many cases a street fight includes three people, two attackers, one victim.
You may know how to roll out of a technique in BJJ but keep in mind that some techniques won't allow you to "roll out". Hapkido training has taught me some techniques where your opponent goes up and then comes back down. You can't "roll out" when you going vertically straight down on your back.
Ok the flipping / rolling out is an easy escape for someone with martial art back ground. In bjj for example when doing an arm bar the opponent is held in place by your legs to prevent the roll escape. it's all just for show. If it really work why don't you see these people fight in the UFC. Answer if your fighting some with a fighting back ground your going to loose.
@scaife4589 There are a limited number of techniques you can even use in the octagon and they aren't exactly street practical or effective. If your training is geared for competition, chances are your self defense skills are going to be lacking. If your training is pure self defense, you'll be at a disadvantage in competition. Aikido wasn't designed for competition but it does work for self defense. I've used it's techniques and they work.
@scaife4589 Another thing, when you're fighting in that cage, there are rules. The floor is somewhat padded and it's one on one (no weapons) In the street, it's entirely different. That concrete doesn't give when you get thrown down on it. Throws can be fight enders in a street confrontation because not everybody knows how to break fall. Groundfighting is NOT a good option in a real fight because, he may not be alone. In that situation you'd be at a severe disadvantage.
the thing about these videos is that they're fighting other aikido masters and they know how to take on a throw without hurting themselves, hence flipping and rolling and hence making these videos look fake
@scraponmutt Sigh. Yes. Some of the throws are over the top.

@scraponmutt Whether you are practicing Aikido or Krav Maga or just plain old Boxing, if you got into a real fight what would matter most is your will to live and the confidence in your skill.

You threaten both an Aikido master and a Krav Maga master with a knife, I guarantee the ass kickings coming your way will be 21 different kinds of epic.

@geitekop507 Pushing the shoulder bone would not cause you to do some massive front flip. if you honestly believe that then you must know nothing of body mechinics, physics or just plain common sense
@geitekop507 No they wouldn"t!! if someone pushed on shoulder bone like that they would just bend forwards, not do some gigantic flip. it doesnt make sens that you do some flip like that.
@scraponmutt /sigh every time. The flipping happens when you know what is coming, because this is practice. When you don't know how to take the fall, you don't get thrown, but your arm breaks. Aikido destroys the body if you aren't practicing.
@jhenrick79 If that breaks a persons arm they must have brittle bones. You are just another person brain washed by these ineffective martial arts, i hope you soon have a moment of clarity and see the illogical of this combative style
@scraponmutt It's amazing how quick people are to criticize what they don't understand. Martial arts aren't all about inflicting permanant injury. Aikido techniques are designed to redirect the incoming attack in another direction. If the attacker resists the movement (instead of going with it), they risk the destruction of that limb. So go ahead and find out the hard way. Train in a dojo.
again theyre not falling over easily,they are breaking their fall.the drunk or thug with abaseball bat.wouldnt.your minds are still in the dojo,sports with rules.think about the knife.
Have never seen anyone fall over so easily, so friendly and so voluntere...... I have a hard time beliving anyone with adrenaline puming, fighting etc, would lie down so cooperative. I think most of these peeps would just get a skull, a fist or a foot in the face and game over
This is very usefull to use on people who dont know how to fight,imagine fedor walking down the street and you try this on him you would get smashed into pieces.peace :)
This is situational ie:pratice if you notice the joints are not getting locked out and most likely would get your ass kicked trying to do this stuff but Steven Segals version is different he uses hand thrust and seroius smacks to get you set-up for the take down so they may just be demonstrating the after effects and not the methods to get there!!! But nice concept though!!!
I admit, the flips and everything look cool, but it doesnt seem all that practical to me. Instead of dancing, why don't they either put the opponent in a submission hold or knock em out. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't seem very realistic imho.
as an aikido practitioner i can tell you that it really hurt if the Uke (the partner) don't do those jumpes or fallings or rolls he can be injured and believe me my sensei don't joke around when doing a technique it hurt so much that we jump before he can finish it scared of being not as fast as him and get injured...
why the goddam comparison, people? if you don't trust this art, then don't fuckin look at it! if you think you're the god of fightin, then fuckin fuck your fuckin self up!
all talk thrashin shows how fuckin no-brains you are!
you would never really understand this... because aikido's principle and techniques, at the very least, are for those who have what we call brains!
maybe im not completely understanding the purpose of aikido.. but at 2:53 it looks like it especially effective when your opponent completely gives up after you grab their hands and they want to help you look good by flipping over.. again and again..
@fawkmee i am coming off of 15 years of shotokan karate. i was curious about aikido, so i went to a dojo and trained for a bit to feel what its like. let me tell you a few things. firstly, you give up because you are in a losing position. the joint manipulation completely controls you and if you move incorrectly, snap goes your wrist or elbow. the flipping is for the benefit of the defender. it helps you evade by just going with the momentum. if you don't flip, your arm snaps.
@jacksoncole79 if you offer your hand out, they will at least slap it a way to enter and punch you in the face. If I hold my hand out in a fist, with my arm oustretched, it's not possible for you to punch me in the face without moving the arm first. Even Bruce Lee knew that. At some point you have to make contact with the outsretched arm, even if you don't take hold of it. Contact is enough to be able to use aikido.
@jacksoncole79 I agree. But if you want to learn this stuff in a practical setting, go into Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate. I learned some of the same techniques off REAL punches and made them work, plus you get the strike training and some ground training. We also don't do magic double backflips when it's done to us, we just go down and hurt.
im a beginner in aikido just a couple months but this shit is the real thing and its fun to learn...its nice to know that you can end a fight in a matter of seconds if you are attacked...of course it takes alot of practice im sure
I seen reference to size of dojo, interesting as I was always under the impression that Aikido could b done in a phone box. However, would like to find more circles within circles if anyone got site address for that.
Nice clip. I just wish they did keep playing with the speed of the video. It's one thing to slow down footage to show detail, but speeding it up to make it look quick... That's not cool. ...and before people say that was normal speed (at all times) when it was not slowed down, look how jerky their motion is, and the clapping in the background. You can see it was sped up to add extra flare.
Aikido practioners have great taste in martial arts, but judging from YouTube they have terrible taste in music. :-D What it's it with all these clips with awful music. Ruins otherwise really nice videos. :-) But thanks for sharing. :-)
Well, each his own taste, of course. I don't do much in the way of SEGA. Maybe karate or such would fit game consoles better, he-he. :-) Many a teen might be bored with aikido on SEGA, ha-ha. No blood or even hitting. :-D
@iWereGreeniWouldDie The flips are something you learn in aikido, and they're very important. If you don't know how to properly fall after receiving a throw, you'll be breaking bones and tearing ligaments. So no; If you're in a street fight(and the other guy doesn't know aikido) then you can kind of imagine what would happen.
In most cases no. But attacker will have broken bone or twisted wrist. Uke do that ,,flip" because it is the only way to preserve theyself from injuries. They don't fly for entertainment,it would be stupid.
@iWereGreeniWouldDie No, the flips are done out of self preservation of the attackers. if someone doesnt know how to do the flip you see in the video, they'll either go into a lot of pain from the wrist manipulation or they'll just fall on their ass ...
the only thing I feel is that ukemi impairs the practitioners of aikido from being able to use it in competitions I'm aware that not what its for but I think it would be cool to see aversion of it in mma tournaments
It's nice to see a dojo that emphasizes speed in its techniques and understands the importance of not allowing uke to stop or stand still. Lots of hard throws too!
i love how whenever ppl go together in the 80's they always put balloons up everywhere like a 5 year olds birthday and btw i like how the music in the backround is from above the law
Very nice. The very first lesson in martial arts is Respect. Arrogance has no place in the heart of a true martial artist. I happened to practice a few arts. Respect begets respect. Arrogance----guess. To me I wonder what happen to the very first lesson in the martial art path. Onegaeshimasu
If you ever practised Aikido with some Japanese Shihan [check out Tamura Sensei/Chiba Sensei I think you would not feel like you were doing a waltz or a foxtrot.
@Spartacus217 - sometimes it's better to train in small spaces.
When I did my grad. the dojo was about as full as it is in this video, but with the exception that we ALL did 30-45min techniques before the graduation begun.
Being aware of your surroundings 45min while doing technique changes things a lot.
None of us hit anyone else a single time and the higher dan teacher was pretty impressed.
In a real fight, the odds are that you THINK you're fighting ONE person until there's 3 more guys.
it is the dojo which is best for men. through it the man can learn a various types of kung fu Aikido takes longer to learn than most other martial arts. Aikido can be practiced to a late age because this martial art does not rely on flexibility, muscle speed, or strength. Thus it has become especially popular with women and senior citizens.

@Spartacus217 trust me when i tell you practisen in a small dojos is better than in a biger one you have to be more precise more calculated aldo a bid dojo is not a bad thing ether
In the beginning of the clip, I saw that it was Phillipine Aikikai. But is this Aikikai? Is there suppose to be some kicks in Aikikai's ukemi? Hey man, please don't destroy Aikido. if O'sensei is still alive, do you think that he will be happy with this?
Remember what O'sensei said, "Always train in a vibrant and joyful manner."
i dont understand what are you meaning...can you explain me....( i do karate from 8years..i only wanna know if you are meaning that Aikido is a way of life....like karate ... )so...thank you! :)
yeah no military trained in Aikido oo except um...samurai?
theres been fight,where i used a sport techquie n almost died...because i was facing down...ala mount...n almost got my head ripped off by incoming bat =)
Aikido teachs alot of realistic mindset for real battle.if i was using traditional Aiki,I would of jus pinned the guy wit my knee n kept fighting/flowing...
I actually train in traditional samurai ju-jutsu/taijutsu, kenjutsu, bojutsu, jutte-jutsu, naginata-jutsu, tanto-jutsu, and many more styles from traditional japanese koryu.
I know what the samurai trained in, I train in it. And it's not aikido.
that isnt to say aikido is good or bad, it's just saying that you're historically uninformed.
I also train in traditional samurai martial arts, but im sorry to say you have been misinformed because YES they did you aikido, it was used in relation with jujitsu for hand to hand or other various empty handed techniques and they also teach jodo (or jojutsu which ever you prefer) in aikido, it seems your missing a key element in your training though, iaido. I take kenjutsu, iaido, aikido, and aikijujitsu at the dojo i train at.
aikido and judo were created as more peaceful variations of koryu jujutsu, which was used by the samurai. Look it up.
Aikido was created in 1942 and judo was created in the late 1880's. There were no samurai wars in the 1940s. You really need to work on your history, because you sound like an idiot.
you literally have no idea what you're talking about.
as far as saying I don't know iaido, yes I do. I said above that I only listed a few of the arts I study.
@chucknorrispranks i'm not gonna start a flame war or anything of that nature, all im going to day is. you cant believe everything you see on the internet and that's where im leaving it.
But I believe that it's a complement of a stricking technique like karate or kung fu.
Aikido is just the "small thing" that will always give you the adventage and the finishing move.
I found myself in real situations and aikido helped me a lot to control the guys and impress them. (but I'm not sick : if the guy has a deadly weapon for all I care he can leave with the10$ in my wallet)
@glurp1er True, to be a comprehensive martial artists you need more than one thing. You need a bit of joint-locking/submission, grappling, take-downs, striking, weapons use, conditioning, and intellectual activity ("The way of the warrior is the two-fold way of the pen and sword."). Leave out any of these and you are still incomplete. Hard to learn all that stuff in one place though. That's why it becomes a lifelong thing.
@glurp1er there you are wrong. if a guy had a gun he would shoot you from far away and then get what he wants. Aikido is an art of Harmony. Its is only used for self-defense. there are 3 shapes in all marial arts. a circle, square and a triangle. A circle is in aikido just watch the movement. it is said if anyone brakes your circle of harmony they must be destroyed. Kung fu is a triangle, and tiqoundo its a square.
@glurp1er I agree as it is mostly about fitting...But the thug might take the $10 and shoot you anyways....to assume they only want the $ is hubris and could be deadly...if someone pulls a weapon it means they're willing to use it on you or maybe others. If you want to learn this the responsibility goes along with it to use it appropriately.
However in the ring I would favor BJJ due to the fact it can stop you from getting hit in a controlled inviornment.. It is also a good staller to let clocks run out so you can regroup. BJJ would be practically useless in a street fight due to the hard ground and objects on the ground. Plus if there are other people attacking it is damn neat impossible to defend while wrestling with someone else.
I'm a bouncer at a local bar in SLC, UT. I train constantly in Chun Kuk Do, BJJ, and Aikido. In my experience as a bouncer the Aikido is far superior in controling people without hurting them as my job requires. It is also the #1 martial art used by military and police around the world for the same reason.
I think you misread my comment. I said this video is sped up, and that is lame. I didn't say Aikido is lame. In fact my nickname, as you may have noticed, is the name of an Aikido technique.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry to bust your bubble but Aikido is useless in a real self defense situation. You may be lucky if you're a big guy and use it on drunks who don't know much about fighting but it will not work on a real martial artist or good street fighter.
Just because some lame police force take some Aikido does not mean much especially that most police have firearms. However, there is NO military insane enough to train in a useless martial art like Aikido.
You probably never heard of "ki".. big guy only strong physically but in a sense of "ki" whoever master it absolutely will defeat the one who doesn't. And remember, aikido blends the attacker and and the attacked one, so "the stronger the opponent the harder he falls" rules applied..
You're right about a good street fighter, their attacks are mostly random, and are just pounding the crap out of people, but Aikido was designed to counter many structured martial arts, such as karate or what have you. Aikido was developed during a time where if you fought hand to hand, you did it with a structured form. Never the less, it can be useful, as I have used some Aikido techniques in fights, and they proved very useful.
really i hate it when they demonstrate within their own dojo. i'd like to see it on some outsider and see if it really works. here you can tell the students move and work together to make it look real.
Being a good Uke (attacker) is just as much an art as being a good Tori (defender). This is one reason why it is hard to demonstrate 'full on' Aikido on an outsider to the Art, for example if an 'off the joint Kote-Gaeshi (wrist lock/twist) throw is applied with plenty of momentum and you as Uke cannot preform a flip, your arm will snap! There's many a technique like this in Aikido,so the next time you see an Aikido demo and it looks like the Uke's jumping or flipping there's usually good reason
yeah i seen a good video that demonstrates aikido and broke the guys arm but my point is will it work when you need it to? I mean it could have been luck that the man studying aikido got lucky.
Sorry don't get your point. If you train hard and apply yourself to a good dojo luck will have nothing to do with it. Aikido takes a long time to learn it's not something you can learn in a year, so you have to want to do it, it's not something you can breeze by try for six months and then go on youtube and say it doesn't work, because you wont of learnt a thing in that time, which is where most of these negative comments about Aikido seem to be coming from, people who REALLY don't now jack!
my point is when akido is demonstrated with their own students they go flying everywhere. The students even extend their arms out and hold it there for a second or two giving the sensei the time to put his hold on the student and send him flying. yet i never seen a real akido fight where they can apply their skills and send their opponent flying and flipping everywhere. only in the movies with the exception of one vid where i did see aikido breaks a mans arm cuz he didnt roll with it
ok you have a point. i like aikido but i also think theres a lot of ukes that fly without being touched, but i think thats a problem of someones, not of the style
and i think you will not find a aikido fight anywhere, because aikido does not have offensive moves (except some atemis), and almost any of the schools practice sparring (except tomiki aikido)
the only way to know if aikido works in real situations is being in one, and i have hear good references about aikido as a self defence art
Look at Chiba Sensei, this guy is very unforgiving with his Ukes, He is very good, he's a direct pupil of the Founder of Aikido. My Sensei has trained for 42 years under Chiba Sensei, My Sensei is in his late 50's, 5ft 2" and thin, He can throw people around like there made of paper and they don't have a choice about it! If I just ran at him holding my arm out 'letting him do it to me' he would punish for it! His words are 'a good Uke should want to stay alive not just fall down dead'
O sensei strictly formed Aikido in an attempt to show that disiplin and hard work can be more effective then going out and beating the crap out of people. Aikido is used world wide and is more effective at getting yourself out of a fight then getting the crap beat out of you. BJJ can kiss my butt. Aikido is the best you can get because you can kill a person without ever hurting yourself. Yes... Aikido is deadly.

@geitekop507 Pushing the shoulder bone would not cause you to do some massive front flip. if you honestly believe that then you must know nothing of body mechinics, physics or just plain common sense

@scraponmutt Are you joking? I did this technique in real life to defend myself and he flipped over like that.
geitekop507 2 months ago
@geitekop507 No they wouldn"t!! if someone pushed on shoulder bone like that they would just bend forwards, not do some gigantic flip. it doesnt make sens that you do some flip like that.
scraponmutt 2 months ago
@scraponmutt /sigh every time. The flipping happens when you know what is coming, because this is practice. When you don't know how to take the fall, you don't get thrown, but your arm breaks. Aikido destroys the body if you aren't practicing.

scraponmutt 2 months ago
@scraponmutt It's amazing how quick people are to criticize what they don't understand. Martial arts aren't all about inflicting permanant injury. Aikido techniques are designed to redirect the incoming attack in another direction. If the attacker resists the movement (instead of going with it), they risk the destruction of that limb. So go ahead and find out the hard way. Train in a dojo.

fawkmee 6 months ago
@fawkmee i am coming off of 15 years of shotokan karate. i was curious about aikido, so i went to a dojo and trained for a bit to feel what its like. let me tell you a few things. firstly, you give up because you are in a losing position. the joint manipulation completely controls you and if you move incorrectly, snap goes your wrist or elbow. the flipping is for the benefit of the defender. it helps you evade by just going with the momentum. if you don't flip, your arm snaps.

jacksoncole79 7 months ago
@jacksoncole79 if you offer your hand out, they will at least slap it a way to enter and punch you in the face. If I hold my hand out in a fist, with my arm oustretched, it's not possible for you to punch me in the face without moving the arm first. Even Bruce Lee knew that. At some point you have to make contact with the outsretched arm, even if you don't take hold of it. Contact is enough to be able to use aikido.
KurtCobain198666 7 months ago
@jacksoncole79 I agree. But if you want to learn this stuff in a practical setting, go into Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate. I learned some of the same techniques off REAL punches and made them work, plus you get the strike training and some ground training. We also don't do magic double backflips when it's done to us, we just go down and hurt.

Nice clip. I just wish they did keep playing with the speed of the video. It's one thing to slow down footage to show detail, but speeding it up to make it look quick... That's not cool. ...and before people say that was normal speed (at all times) when it was not slowed down, look how jerky their motion is, and the clapping in the background. You can see it was sped up to add extra flare.

@iWereGreeniWouldDie The flips are something you learn in aikido, and they're very important. If you don't know how to properly fall after receiving a throw, you'll be breaking bones and tearing ligaments.

When I did my grad. the dojo was about as full as it is in this video, but with the exception that we ALL did 30-45min techniques before the graduation begun.
Being aware of your surroundings 45min while doing technique changes things a lot.
None of us hit anyone else a single time and the higher dan teacher was pretty impressed.
In a real fight, the odds are that you THINK you're fighting ONE person until there's 3 more guys.

I also train in traditional samurai martial arts, but im sorry to say you have been misinformed because YES they did you aikido, it was used in relation with jujitsu for hand to hand or other various empty handed techniques and they also teach jodo (or jojutsu which ever you prefer) in aikido, it seems your missing a key element in your training though, iaido. I take kenjutsu, iaido, aikido, and aikijujitsu at the dojo i train at.
maggot6460 2 years ago
aikido and judo were created as more peaceful variations of koryu jujutsu, which was used by the samurai. Look it up.
Aikido was created in 1942 and judo was created in the late 1880's. There were no samurai wars in the 1940s. You really need to work on your history, because you sound like an idiot.

I love aikido because it's clever...
But I believe that it's a complement of a stricking technique like karate or kung fu.
Aikido is just the "small thing" that will always give you the adventage and the finishing move.
I found myself in real situations and aikido helped me a lot to control the guys and impress them. (but I'm not sick : if the guy has a deadly weapon for all I care he can leave with the10$ in my wallet)
glurp1er 2 years ago 31
@glurp1er True, to be a comprehensive martial artists you need more than one thing. You need a bit of joint-locking/submission, grappling, take-downs, striking, weapons use, conditioning, and intellectual activity ("The way of the warrior is the two-fold way of the pen and sword."). Leave out any of these and you are still incomplete. Hard to learn all that stuff in one place though. That's why it becomes a lifelong thing.
gungnir2357 1 year ago
@glurp1er there you are wrong. if a guy had a gun he would shoot you from far away and then get what he wants. Aikido is an art of Harmony. Its is only used for self-defense. there are 3 shapes in all marial arts. a circle, square and a triangle. A circle is in aikido just watch the movement. it is said if anyone brakes your circle of harmony they must be destroyed. Kung fu is a triangle, and tiqoundo its a square.

@glurp1er I agree as it is mostly about fitting...But the thug might take the $10 and shoot you anyways....to assume they only want the $ is hubris and could be deadly...if someone pulls a weapon it means they're willing to use it on you or maybe others. If you want to learn this the responsibility goes along with it to use it appropriately.

However in the ring I would favor BJJ due to the fact it can stop you from getting hit in a controlled inviornment.. It is also a good staller to let clocks run out so you can regroup. BJJ would be practically useless in a street fight due to the hard ground and objects on the ground. Plus if there are other people attacking it is damn neat impossible to defend while wrestling with someone else.

Sorry to bust your bubble but Aikido is useless in a real self defense situation. You may be lucky if you're a big guy and use it on drunks who don't know much about fighting but it will not work on a real martial artist or good street fighter.
Just because some lame police force take some Aikido does not mean much especially that most police have firearms. However, there is NO military insane enough to train in a useless martial art like Aikido.

You probably never heard of "ki".. big guy only strong physically but in a sense of "ki" whoever master it absolutely will defeat the one who doesn't. And remember, aikido blends the attacker and and the attacked one, so "the stronger the opponent the harder he falls" rules applied..
RetroLektro 2 years ago
You're right about a good street fighter, their attacks are mostly random, and are just pounding the crap out of people, but Aikido was designed to counter many structured martial arts, such as karate or what have you. Aikido was developed during a time where if you fought hand to hand, you did it with a structured form. Never the less, it can be useful, as I have used some Aikido techniques in fights, and they proved very useful.

drunknblazed 2 years ago
Being a good Uke (attacker) is just as much an art as being a good Tori (defender). This is one reason why it is hard to demonstrate 'full on' Aikido on an outsider to the Art, for example if an 'off the joint Kote-Gaeshi (wrist lock/twist) throw is applied with plenty of momentum and you as Uke cannot preform a flip, your arm will snap! There's many a technique like this in Aikido,so the next time you see an Aikido demo and it looks like the Uke's jumping or flipping there's usually good reason

yeah i seen a good video that demonstrates aikido and broke the guys arm but my point is will it work when you need it to? I mean it could have been luck that the man studying aikido got lucky.
drunknblazed 2 years ago
Sorry don't get your point. If you train hard and apply yourself to a good dojo luck will have nothing to do with it. Aikido takes a long time to learn it's not something you can learn in a year, so you have to want to do it, it's not something you can breeze by try for six months and then go on youtube and say it doesn't work, because you wont of learnt a thing in that time, which is where most of these negative comments about Aikido seem to be coming from, people who REALLY don't now jack!
DanOMusicLover 2 years ago 2
my point is when akido is demonstrated with their own students they go flying everywhere. The students even extend their arms out and hold it there for a second or two giving the sensei the time to put his hold on the student and send him flying. yet i never seen a real akido fight where they can apply their skills and send their opponent flying and flipping everywhere. only in the movies with the exception of one vid where i did see aikido breaks a mans arm cuz he didnt roll with it
drunknblazed 2 years ago
ok you have a point. i like aikido but i also think theres a lot of ukes that fly without being touched, but i think thats a problem of someones, not of the style
and i think you will not find a aikido fight anywhere, because aikido does not have offensive moves (except some atemis), and almost any of the schools practice sparring (except tomiki aikido)
the only way to know if aikido works in real situations is being in one, and i have hear good references about aikido as a self defence art

O sensei strictly formed Aikido in an attempt to show that disiplin and hard work can be more effective then going out and beating the crap out of people. Aikido is used world wide and is more effective at getting yourself out of a fight then getting the crap beat out of you. BJJ can kiss my butt. Aikido is the best you can get because you can kill a person without ever hurting yourself. Yes... Aikido is deadly.
