I'm sorry, but anybody who thinks aikido and aiki jujitsu is "bullshit", hasn't studied the art. Yes, every art has its pros and cons respectively, but every art works to help people defend themselves and also live a better life. Its not about the martial art, its about the martial artist who decides what works because no matter what your practice is, there is going to be somebody in a another art that is much better than you. Its about learning.

I'm looking into martial arts, Aikido looks hilarious in the fact that you just own/embarrass everyone coming at you. might pick that one!

I'd definitely consider Aikido. It's a very good martial art in that a successfully performed maneuver does not stand a large risk of significantly injuring your opponent (enemy!). You should study one single style (and only one) until you feel quite competent in it. Then you should study several others! I recommend you also study Muay Tai or Taekwondo after Aikido. Best of luck, it's great developing the confidence and athleticism of martial arts (Experience: Taekwondo, Jujitsu black belt)

You'd agree that taekwondo and aikido are good compliments but you'd likely need both types in a real confrontation? Taekwondo for distance kicks and strikes, aikido for close in tosses?

Someone who can throw a fast, strong, and long enough roundhouse kick could completely bypass that fighting method by kicking out the guy's stabilizing knee from a distance, out of range of his extremely short range hand movements. Also notice the aikido practitioner is an extremely tall man relative to his attackers, which gives him the range to strike well before they can. If they were taller, and fast and strong enough, they could counter. It's still interested (great close in style!)

Ever wonder why most of mainstream Aikido like Yoshinkan Style or Aikikai don't have tournament, because it's a "Dexterous" art..

[azhar suliman]

You "Enter with form;exit without form" "Practices forms repetitiously to forget forms"

By then many become one and one sees many.

If space and time are one with you then what is a kick or a punch.

[Fanis Filippas]

in some of those move they are falling on purpose because if they don't, their wrist will break..

So is the guy that is falling, falling on purpose for the demonstration?
