There has been a great deal of interest in the transference of Aikido technique in to MMA with the involvement of Steven Segal with Anderson Silva and Machida. Rik Ellis is to make a video of these techniques in 2012.

Rik has written an article " Aikido in MMA" and now has a blog site dedicated to this at h ttp:// aikido-mma.blogspot.com/

This is the perfect way to train,alot of people train to soft so then they cannot apply themselves on the street and then they blame aikido,when the founder train his disciples he told to train very hard that way you prepare yourself for a real battle. GREAT VIDEO

Nice compliment fugetao, no its not Chiba Sensei, It is Henry Ellis. Chiba Sensei did not arrive in the UK until 1966.

you don't see many old UK videos around. My former instructor used to travel europe learning aikido as it wasn't very easy to find anywhere in the UK back then. Thanks

That looks like Chiba sensei to me, he got to the UK in '62.
