With all due respect to the Sensei, This is simply not realistic fighting technique. fighters, even drunk bullies do not simply go along with being manipulated around, they don't wear Gi's,and they use distance, hard leg kicks, headbutting, and many are proficient boxers. This form simply won't work in a real street fight.

In defense of Sensei MacEwen and all other non-MMA style martial arts (who can all defend themselves quite well), the best defense is a technique that the offender will not expect. Be it Aikido,Tai Chi, TKD or just running away. We have seen drunk bullies and crazed psychotics get manipulated quite well with Aikido/Jiu-jitsu/Chin-na techniques over the years and brute grappling fail. Also the other way around. The fighter is the ultimate key not the style.

Are there any vids on that? I've never really encountrered one here on the net, but I'm terribly curious. Could you point me to one, please? :)

@cryodragoon Sorry, for us those fights were long before the days of cameras in your cell phones. Anyway, who really wants to roll around the concrete with a potentially diseased psycho when you can take him out quickly and get away?

i use aikido, im an army man in real situation. but people want to bach and crush, aikido is so great art, but it isnt interest for lot of people because it is a self defence

. No ppl do not simply go along with being manipulated around, that is why nga uses leverage and pain compliance to manipulate a attacker. You dont see Aikido much in mma cause most the techniques r illegal (cant grip gloves/wrist which is used alot in aikido//jujustu) n it is meant for self defence, not sport. How well you think bjj will work with multiple attackers? While pinning 1 the other is stomping your head!

Nihon Goshin Aikido was not a descendant of Ueshiba's Aikido. It was formulated from daito-ryu Aikijujutsu, which Ueshiba studied before creating his Aikido. Nihon Goshin Aikido combines 50 traditional Aiki-jujutsu techniques, with Karate, Judo, and the tenkan (circular turning/pivoting) moments of Aikido. It also adds the use of Aikidos KI energy into implantation of all techniques.

My philosophy exactly XD. Atemi ftw.. Still, it would've been interesting nontheless to see some of that stuff.. Could've learnt from it even if we'd only use it in the dojo. :)

From a street combat perspective where the unknown is the martial art of choice - Papamalo is of course, correct...hence why we don't see "beautiful martial arts" like Aikido in the octagon or in any free contact event. Simple karate line straight thrust attacks and overly telegraphed knife chops are a thing of 1960s tv detective shows and a product of a very naive yet aesthetically advanced Japanese/Okinawan culture. It is an art - in the very same way a brush stroke strikes a canvas.
