If you turned the wrist counter clock wise you would be spinning him backwards and he would be tapping out quickly

Aikido is actually very effective. I've studied both Aikido and Jiu-Jitsu. I don't mean to insult anyone, but I have observed that the people who bash or hate on either art have little knowledge of the art they are hating on.

Aikido and Jiu-jitsu have a lot in common.

Jiu-jitsu is extremely effective especially in one on one scenarios. And it is more suited for this purpose. Such as grappling competitions or MMA. The art also allows you to spar full throttle with minimum risk of injury.-

-, leverage, discipline, focus, are all the same and essential to both arts. No one art is supreme. Different scenarios call for different techniques.

Aikido and Jiu-jitsu are DIFFERENT. One doesn't have to be better than the other. This goes for all martial arts. It's usually the practitioner, and not the art itself that spells the difference.

@regless I understand what your saying. I certainly wouldn't go so far as to say this training is totally useless, since every extra tool in a bag of tricks can prove effective in the right circumstances. With the exception of torn ligaments and loose arm sockets, it is difficult to train in a more real life situation with these techniques. This is what makes Jujitsu so effective, its one of the few MA disciplines that you can practice with full force up to the point of someone tapping out.

@nupeswv One more thing I wanted to add. When you feel your arm getting locked up natural instinct is try and worm it free, you usually open your hand to do that on impulse. Some fighters don't either because of training or they know what's coming. I box, I keep my fists balled religiously, but they have ways to get me anyway.

[Regless]

@nupeswv The reason that the other guy is dangling uselessly is because this is a demonstration. Practical Akido a move like that takes less than a second and the movements are more dynamic. Even if you step forward your still off balance and your free arm can't get much leverage. You are right that this technique only works with specific grapples. That is why Akido has more than one bloody technique. A good fighter of ANY dicipline can learn to read an opponents moves and react.
