that’s not the question, aikido and kendo were not developped to protect you from 21th century street insecurity, what you have to learn from it is not how to protect yourself when attacked or how to kill someone with a katana; it’s respect, humility, friendship, concentration, effort… it’s a way to win yourself, not to defeat the others.
No, but like classical jujutsu some of the techniques are so 0-60 that you could break someone’s limbs or neck. You wouldn’t allow somethign like hijiate-kokyunage the same way you wouldn’t allow someone to do a neck breaking technique.
You’re a moron. UFC never “banned” any type of martial art. Anyone from any style can compete, the same goes for any mixed martial arts organization. You don’t see them compete because 98% of the people that would compete would be a delusional douche bag like you that would get their ass handed to them.
Fair enough, I was incorrect about Aikido being banned, however I believe (correct me if i’m wrong) that small joint techniques are illegal in UFC, therefore most of the techniques used in Aikido are illegal in UFC.
As for me being a “delusional douche bag”, I was simply higlighting the fact that it’s more effective than people give it credit for, and people who aren’t trained to cope with small joint techniques are at risk of injury.
Geeze, if you would have just conveyed yourself as intelligently then as you did now, I wouldn’t have been such an ass about it. I’m in no way saying Aikido is a bad martial art, in fact I’m highly interested in it. I just can’t stand the people who perform randori as if it were a pathetic dance, with no resistance from the attacker whatsoever and the think it translates to be able to real self defense or fighting ability.
I’m right with you on that one, the dancy thingy may be good for beginners understanding the basic movements, but it’s no good for competition sport or self defence.
Your right though, I shouldn’t have been so brash about it, my apologies.
@kenjutsu34 Your silly generalization about all Aikidoka is simply not true. If all Aikidoka as a whole didn’t feel the need to compete, as you so generalized, then there would be no such thing as Tomiki Aikido or any of the sport variations.
@jasonloseefu you don’t defend the bullet. The bullet is not attacking. The person is, so you deal with the person. That is actually quite a common misconception about martial arts being innefective against attack with a gun. In most martial arts now, there are some very good disarming techniques to take the gun away while pointing it in such a way that if it goes off, you won’t get shot. Good question though.
So how will he defend a bullet?
Now that was a Dum thing to say!
not every mugger brings out a gun on you on the street.. usually wif a knife, and hence.. if u mug an aikido master.. u r farrrked.
that’s not the question, aikido and kendo were not developped to protect you from 21th century street insecurity, what you have to learn from it is not how to protect yourself when attacked or how to kill someone with a katana; it’s respect, humility, friendship, concentration, effort… it’s a way to win yourself, not to defeat the others.
Got that right!
You are very right.
Kendo & akido teaches self dicipline, something very rare nowerdays.
haha, “dangerous techniques have been eliminated”
lmao, my left but cheek, you can easily break bones, joints, limbs, necks using aikido
Indeed, that’s why they banned Aikido from UFC you know, the techniques are too effective – too many injuries and fights end too quickly!!!
No, but like classical jujutsu some of the techniques are so 0-60 that you could break someone’s limbs or neck. You wouldn’t allow somethign like hijiate-kokyunage the same way you wouldn’t allow someone to do a neck breaking technique.
yes it woz

So calm down.

38th DAN holy shit!!!
@CRDFightClub Akido-ka do not feel the need to compete. They do not question the size of their members. But we could argue this all day.

@TheNickTV what are you, 5?
