@sniper244 are you saying this is not REAL systema? what would you call real systema?

[mhia4]

Plus I really suck at forms I'm as graceful as a newborn giraffe. I learned what can work and what won't from sparring and grappling. Some studios don't allow contact at all. One I went to dosen't spar, the guy got all indignant and called me a meathead when I asked about it. My hell, the sign said Kung Fu and Tai Chi,I guess their focus was Tai Chi... lol

[mhia4]

I couldn't agree more. I'm all for the "art" side of martial arts, but i think it's a disservice to teach a kid some forms or katas, a couple of defense moves for a front two knuckle punch and then tell him he can defend himself. There needs to be some realistic sparring, it dosen't have to be full contact but you can't appreciate getting hit till you get hit. Then you put more effort into learning how to NOT get hit.

Thats the problem, most practitioners stop at the "potential". I admire Soke Don Angier and Shihan James Williams, which can both be seen here on youtube. I try to emulate both. I admire the traditional aspect of the Japanese systems, but most systems stop at tradition, and dont get into modern combatives. Im working on videos, but my camera is cheap. I try to keep everything realistic, but that is hard to do in a controlled learning environment. Thanks for the complement. I aim to be humble.

My first "Sifu" told me something which has proven true time after time; "Who talks dosen't know, who knows dosen't talk". You seem pretty humble, therefore I'm glad you're a good guy. I'd be interested to see what you've come up with, I have a lot of respect for both Aikido and Jiu Jitsu, I've even informally trained in both,a little. The potential with both styles is obvious.

There are lots of armchair commandos for sure, throwing out comments they'd never make to someones face, screw 'em.

[sniper244]

Oh very true. I think I got lucky since it was a suprise attack. Ill be the first to admit, Im not at that level, but I have spent many years shortening and simplifying my system to fit modern combatives. Ive been ridiculed by so-called experts in the Aiki world, but I have proven it in real combat, so I feel pretty confident in my system, just cant seem to get it out to the rest of the world. Thanks for replying with class, unlike so many others...lol.

I'm glad it worked out ok. I'm sure you know how easily it could have gone the other way. You're right, if you've trained properly, it becomes almost instinctual and your body just seems to do the right thing. A lot of people think they've trained to that level though, and they haven't. I thought I had and was proven wrong, luckily I learned that ego bruising lesson in training and not on the street.

Cheers

You are very correct, but you also have to train for worst case scenarios. As a police officer, I had to face a blade in extreme close quarters once. At the time I had about 20 years of MA training. 13 of which was Aiki Jujutsu, Im glad I had the training. Im not trying to brag... the suspect was extremely intoxicated... but I didnt freeze up or over react. You just gotta train and hope for a bit of luck if you have to face a knife.
