@BriThai #1 An Aikido practitioner will not get involved in a fight in the first place, #2. Aikido is grappling akin to Judo and JuJutsu. We've already seen what happens when Mauy Thai meets grappling. Aikido has way more submissions than BJJ. Ever seen lock flow training? It would be over for the MT guy more quickly than if he was fighting against BJJ. U assume that Aikido will try to fight as you see in randori. Randori is just a training drill. Don't expect then to fight that way.

@BriThai U don't have a clue how things work! And talking about people wearing pony tails and Yucca plants is an insult. The Gracies said that their motive was to show ppl that u have to know the ground game to be a complete martial artist. Guess what in MMA u have striking and u have the ground. But what happens when u can't knock the guy out and it's to dangerous to go to the ground? Aside from running like hell, u need an art that allows stand up grappling to be complete.

@BriThai Traditional Martial Arts like Japanese Jiu Jutsu, Aiki-Jutsu (the for runner of Aikido, JuJutsu and Judo) is about killing ur attacker. It wasn't meant to make him tap. BJJ has an elaborate scheme of move vs counter move on the ground. In the real world there is no such move vs counter bullshit. If the fight goes to the ground then u stab the bastard and take his weapon. End of story! MMA is a game! A game that will get ur ass stabbed.

@BriThai U will end up having to ground fight in MMA. The only way to counter the ground is to know the ground game. That's the same for Mauy Thai, Boxing and all other Martial Arts. If u practice a close in fighting style then it makes no sense to compete in MMA because once u enter the effective range of ur art then the MMA guy is just going to take the fight to the ground. However, many of the same techniques in Aikido are applied in BJJ's ground game but only for self-defense.

@osensei2987 Don't forget to water your Yucca plant.

Can anyone tell us all why Aikido didn't even attempt any early UFCcontests? The one's with almost no rules?

Oh yeah, I forgot. It's because they are so spiritual and would not lower their art by actually testing it, yet still prattle on about how great it is to anyone who will listen....

[BriThai]

@osensei2987 - I'm all for some compliancy in training. But you have to be aware of its limitations. Aikido most certainly is not and, like other arts, it continues to practice against over compliant partners without being aware of the limitations.... and, as you outlined in another post, they think that these locks will instinctively happen in a real fight.

Drivel with a capitol D!

[BriThai]

@osensei2987 - yes.... it just happens..... its that easy. And all you have to do is practice fancy wrost locks on people who let you...... Durrr........

[BriThai]

@osensei2987 - Aikido's so called randori (which isn't what is represented on the clip actually) merely trains someone to feel a false and compliant "energy." A "I'll stick my arm out and hold it still for you" type which is useless for a real fight.

It would be like a soccer player practising without the ball, and the goal keeper diving out of the way.

Useless nonsense.

@osensei2987 - knowing a modest amount of Muay Thai will enable most able bodied people to beat an advacned Aikido-ka, unless the Aikido-ka uses techniques from other systems.
