@thejohnou Don't get me wrong, I think the art looks amazing. It also has a ton of application into other arts. My regret is the way it's presented in these videos - especially in today's greco roman world of competition (i.e., MMA). It saddens me that I hear kids talk about MMA as if that is an art unto itself (and perhaps it is). I have a friend who is 4th black in Kenpo, and getting students is difficult. They all want "mma" training.

@Chad01234 "You will NEVER see one Aikido man retract his strikes and force his opponent to have to predict technique"
Well, I'm sorry but I practice this way at every aikido class, for example by doing jiu waza. Many uke don't attack sincerly, and that's a real caveat. But don't give up! Investment in aikido will pay, sooner or later.

@thejohnou I am sorry you actually believe that. Youtube aikido practices in a small dojo or between two people on a close up video. It's the same telegraphed ballet every time. You will NEVER see one Aikido man retract his strikes and force his opponent to have to predict technique - like I said, it's art, nothing more, nothing less. You will never see it in mixed martial arts or ONE video of this in a real fight. Unfortunately!

@Chad01234 remember it's a demonstration, people in the audience can be very far. That's why techniques are emphasized to make them visible by everybody.

UFC fighting isnt proof that somethings combat effective.Aikido seems to be a target in the comments section mainly by UFC fans.Legalize small joint manipulations, and find a skilled Aikidoa willing to break O Sensei's anti competition beliefs and everyone of the UFC fellas would be flocking to Aikido schools to learn it like they did BJJ.Aikido would dominate UFC under that hypothetical rule change.No small joint manipulation rules for an Aikidoa is the same as telling a boxer no punching!

Movements are telegraphed, yes, but the reaction time you build, the pins/movements you learn, and techniques, are all very easily applicable in any street fight.

@eliazourosqw I understand why you believe that and I respect the art as an art. But, until you take those techniques and attempt to apply them to someone training in mixed martial arts at a competitive level, i.e., until you see a grandmaster ever step into a bare knuckle competition...you will have zero proof of this being effective in regards to relaying Aikido to the world via a medium such as youtube. Folks watch UFC, Pride, etc these days - you just can't fool the world anymore.

@Chad01234 my friend aikido is very effectiveto hooks , jabs , kicks and all kind of attacks.... i try with my sensei always these fake punches and jabs and low kicks , the secret is in your taisabaki and your movement . Once you master your movement , no assailant from any rt can defea you because there is no opponent there , and remember in aikido you train , you don't argue . Once you studey the original art , you will understand how easy to face any assailant will be .

@myristique This doesn't take away that Aikido is effective. As long as you train hard and do your best to make it become a second nature, you will manage to defend yourself on the street using Aikido. Agree?
J'ai fait un stage ce matin avec lui C'etait super intéressant !! A refaire !!

@romain3003 J'en ai fait 3 avant d'arrêter l'aïkido et à chaque fois j'ai été impressionné autant par sa technique que par sa pédagogie. En + il est très accessible (n'a pas du tout la grosse tête) et sait se mettre au niveau de n'importe qui ;)
