Excellent Aikido Demonstration

They may have thrown you like a pancake, but any judoka with a good amount of training could easily throw their asses around, and harder than they could imagine.

You don't know how wrong you are. Aikido is a VERY defensive art, it uses the opponents own strength against them, as well as uses many of the pressure points in the body to cause extreme pain or discomfort. You CAN kill with it very easily if it is necessary and if you are trained with it.

this is a useless art. more like a dance than a martial arts

Trust me it hurts a hell of a lot more than it looks. It's because they are so good and fluient that they can do it without being hurt much. If a person who didn't know this art attacked a person who did they could come out with quite a few broken bones

any martial art is useful. It is how the individual applies different techniques that make them useful. Aikido CAN be very very useful. It depends on the person learning it.

Guys ok. I've been doing aikido for 10 years and let me tell you, this stuff is fatal and painful if done properly. The only reason it's so fluid and safe looking is because they KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. It is a DEMONSTRATION- meaning they HAVE to fall safely. If the dude was attacked by a person who didn't know aikido and threw them like this, the person would be in extreme pain. Look at how they're falling- this takes PRACTICE. If you didn't know how to fall, you'd face plant and break bones.

Agree 100% this is all staged and is practiced, for this type they know how to fall however in a real situation the opponent would be in EXTREME pain, I'd go with Aikido over any martial art anyday.

My dad says i can start Aikido and I'm really excited. I got him in a headlock that he couldn't get out of :D

@cecisufer u can hurt them by throwning them into walls, slamming onto cement, breaking wrists...ect

yes you can hurt badly but not to the extreme to kill him ....I beg your padorn but My english sucks!
