@PaniK126 I haven't seen anybody successfully use aikido as a system to win a arranged fight under any rules. I did however see people using aikido moves successfully as a supplement to their base system. The most beautiful example that I've seen so far was - surprisingly - during an Ashihara tournament - see at 1:10 here watch?v=4IEfhbz_xfg.
That's how I view aikido now - as a useful system to cross-train in.
@PaniK126 Look at like this, sure take 2 fit 20 year old jocks 6'0 ft. 200 lbs . each train 1 in anything say MMA. The second in Aikido for .. 4 months. I would say the odds are against the Aikidoka. Change it, only 4 months of training and the pair are 2 50 yr old women at 5'3 110 lbs. Changes the equation huh ?
I am now practicing a well known international combative system. I am still heavily influenced by Aikido. Thank God my tournament coach had me try it. !!
@PaniK126 3. Aikido will let ANY martial artist do ANY at he already does better. ( as soon as mma fighters figure this out it will become common ). Aikido has influenced my fighting, even though I don't "do Aikido" any more I do Aikido in every move.
Also Aikido has no competitive aspects ( outside of that strange Japanese stuff ) so since it is an "agreed upon" fight ( no surprise, with rules, ref, weight classes ) an art having such looks better
@PaniK126 There are a few things that are hard to explain, such as ; 1. Aikido never looks like in actuality because people are moving 3-5 ft sec and it is over long before it gets to "techniques".
2. Aikido involves ( or should ) some real hitting of people ( strike the bastard in the throat to unbalance him ) then to what ever joint manipulation etc. same applies to "street" Judo.
This from a martial artist, I hasn't been on an Aikido mat for over 10 years
@PaniK126 That is an excellent point, and something Aikido needs to address if it is going to remain considered a viable form of self defense in the 21st century. However, this is not how Aikido is used in self defense ( many good schools don't even practice like that yet all do demonstrations that way ). I have no axe to grind here, I only did Aikido because it was the next class at where I did Judo and my tournament coach said it would make me a better Judo player. ( 20 years ago )
Impeccable technique- no force at all. It doesn't just take a lifetime of hard training to get to this level- you have to be smart and talented, sensitive and open to the spiritual side of the art. People who think this is fake have never felt this kind of technique- I have and it is no joke- he completely controls uke.

aikido is one of the biggest fakes ever.
Take a good look at how opponents always rush in same style.
it is always same pattern
and they know only to respond aginst those remembered attack styles.
i wonder if those aikido guys would have any luck against an ma fighter or such
Hardly
