Combat? Where???

Non

demonstrations is not combat

Give me your hand. LOL

I was skeptical and ended up practicing Aikido for a little myself. Hopefully I can clear things out for the other people who are also skeptical. I will attempt to explain without any confusing terms.

Aikido is an INTELLIGENT, top of the food chain discipline. Using one's attacker's momentum and already expended energy against the attacker. It isn't blood and guts and loud. Truly like dancing. No Bruce Lee here! On the streets, no one will find flowing movement and quiet throws. No discipline will be prevalent in a real fight. But someone who is practiced in Akido will be able to have a huge advantage. For one thing, they will be able to mentally remove themselves and think within the small windows of slowed down time. They definitely won't be afraid to fall. They will know how to easily grab an opportunity to create pain for the attacker whenever that attacker exposes themselves (not the exposing you think...gees). Aikido is training the mind AND body. Aikido in my opinion it the very top of any martial art discipline.

amazing!!!

As a bouncer in very fight prone biker bar in the mid seventies I was black belt in 2 arts Wado ryu Karate and Judo.I had some Wing Kung and White Crane KF from some Vietnamese guys as well. I never heard of Aikido at that time. But I quickly discovered that even if I did a good technqiue right from the karate that some guys were just too big and pilled or snorted up to give a shit or react as I expected. I had to do it diffrently and so I adapted to stepping off the attack line, blending with the attack and taking the attackers balance and redirecting it like into a wall or post etc. This was far more effective than hitting with my hands on them. But the real total breakthrough was when I got so used to being attacked that it was 'normal' or at least not upsetting to me. Then I could relax and take the attack and not oppose or block it but slip or redirect it. Later when I discovered Aikido form a real master the late Fumio Toyota it was like light bulb explosing in my mind. Isa exactly why what I did back then worked amazingly well and why sometimesit was totally ineffevtual. But once Iwas tuaght the techniques I saw what I was leaving to chance without knowing it. I realized I ahd the Aikido techniue right in my hands but was not taught its real key details that make it

every martial art is good in it own right so we should not disrespect any of them , but this will not work on the streets its my opinion not a fact kind regards

LOL it's difficult to tell between the trolls and the uneducated grunts, let me say this. "If you can spar your chosen art without injury, it doesn't work" Aikido teaches first, to get out without injury, because sparing sessions would always be one attack only, and then hospitalisation.

For those who say that aikido is no more than a beautiful dance..you haven't practiced to feel the pressure and pain applied to your joints and wrists and so on

Dance act

When I opened this video I expected martial arts, but I got dancing.

never been impressed,by this stuff until demonstrated in a real life,combat situation. til then...it's just another "art"

If you have tried Aikido, dont say a word here. This is good stuff, the posture the peace. The ART. of PEACE :P

Since Hoyce G was mauled by a division 2-3?wrestler ,does that mean JJ is useless? No!.Still a valuable art to study

So many people are afraid of that they do not understand. People do not understand this striking art and that makes them afraid. The martial arts were created to avoid fighting. MMA-UFC is sport fighting, not martial arts
