People need to realise this a style of Aikido that is a sport... therefore it has rules, like boxing has rules, a fight between the aikido in this video and boxing would not be possible. If you want to talk about aikido as self defence against other martial arts then there are plenty of other videos on youtube

judo and aikido have the same roots. Why dont you just go fight an aikido sensei? are you AFRAID? I'm a Judoka, and I thought in the same way. However, I was proved I was wrong. Aikido can break your bones easily.

Really please explain why kano sensai would send his top students to ueshiba please? If you knocking aikio then you cant prase judo mate they are sisters in many respects.

yeah these ppl sound like those who don't believe in Global Warming, or the Moon Landing.

whats all tyhis about boxing an tyson :| mike tyson actually loved aikido apparently, i was watching a documentary and it showed some pictures with him and Sensei Gozo Shioda, and gozo was saying mike turned up to watch alot of aikido courses because he found it really fassinating, so maybe the two arts have similarities

everyone whos giving aikido shit has quite clearly never practiced it and therefore has no idea what there talking about :) soo shh, and get your facts right before giving it shit.

aikido doesnt compete not because of honor, or O'sensei's wishes, or spiritual refinement. Those are excuses not reasons. The real reason is they would get their asses handed to them by Judoka,boxers,muay thai fighters,BJJ ,MMA guys, angry russian schoolgirls, you name it.

Aikido has all this claimed defense ability yet, they refuse to prove it. "we train against grabs,kicks,punches etc.." but only from other aikidoka uke that dont know how to punch or kick or what not.....

i hope noone watching really thinks this how a fight goes down.

and those comments are right aikido shouldnt be compared to judo...

Judo is validated by pressure testing, and strong real technique..... aikido is a inneffective dance form .

And yea a conditioned boxer should have no problem beating the piss out of dan grade aikidoka.

[Minipork14]

Aikido just shouldn't be compared to judo, because it isn't :S Yes there may be throws that LOOK like judo throws but they're actually not. Some of them granted are such as ippon etc. but not ever single one. & aikidoka's are trained to be able to defend themselves against kicks, punches, grabs & so on because its about timing and when you get the timing right the technique becomes effective.
