38th DAN holy shit!!!

@kenjutsu34 Your silly generalization about all Aikidoka is simply not true. If all Aikidoka as a whole didn't feel the need to compete, as you so generalized, then there would be no such thing as Tomiki Aikido or any of the sport variations.

Master Kuguri rocks! You almost never see people doing Aikido at any speed.

He would actually be able to use it. Unlike most so called masters.

[sadtechie]

@trav197. No, he just accumulated 38 dans from variour martial art disciplines over the years.

@jasonloseefu you don't defend the bullet. The bullet is not attacking. ;) The person is, so you deal with the person. That is actually quite a common misconception about martial arts being innefective against attack with a gun. In most martial arts now, there are some very good disarming techniques to take the gun away while pointing it in such a way that if it goes off, you won't get shot. Good question though. :)

@TheNickTV what are you, 5?

@CRDFightClub Akido-ka do not feel the need to compete. They do not question the size of their members. But we could argue this all day.

Hey, no sweat.

I'm right with you on that one, the dancy thingy may be good for beginners understanding the basic movements, but it's no good for competition sport or self defence.

Your right though, I shouldn't have been so brash about it, my apologies.

[CRDFightClub]

Geeze, if you would have just conveyed yourself as intelligently then as you did now, I wouldn't have been such an ass about it. I'm in no way saying Aikido is a bad martial art, in fact I'm highly interested in it. I just can't stand the people who perform randori as if it were a pathetic dance, with no resistance from the attacker whatsoever and the think it translates to be able to real self defense or fighting ability.

[Mezzurchadnezzah]

Woah, hold your horses.

Fair enough, I was incorrect about Aikido being banned, however I believe (correct me if i'm wrong) that small joint techniques are illegal in UFC, therefore most of the techniques used in Aikido are illegal in UFC.

As for me being a "delusional douche bag", I was simply higlighting the fact that it's more effective than people give it credit for, and people who aren't trained to cope with small joint techniques are at risk of injury.

So calm down.
