Quoted: True, but the full contact teaches you what it really feels like to get your bell rung, wind knock out of you way more than pulled punches & light contact of most dojos. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: So a tyranny "studying" a garbage martial arts vs a legitimate trained individual practicing a useful fighting technique MMA is a sport and the rules of it do not match the rules of self defense either. Ironic how many people don't stop and think about that.

I don't get the gym challenges MMA or boxing. How fucking dumb are these people?

Some aikido wrist locks have value, especially against untrained or unexpecting people.
Learning to fall is another value, also taught in JJ. |

Quoted: Aikido guy looked like he'd get beaten up by anyone. View Quote This. These bjj vs karate vs Kung Fu videos always feature one strong guy and one over the hill couch potato. Proves nothing more than what we already know - guns were invented so weaker people don't have to fight stronger people. |

I did it for years and you learn to fall fast because you get thrown and uki’d way more than throwing other people. Watching that dude fall, you could tell in a millisecond he had no training in anything except maybe cross dressing

Quoted: yeah, if an aikido guy challenges anyone, their mind is wrong and they're doing aikido wrong. my shinkage teacher is primarily an aikido guy, and teaches a particularly aggressive version of aikido. he laughs at the 'flowy, nonviolent' guys. but he's very insistent that "this is not what you want to start shit with, and if you do, you deserve what happens." View Quote True the idea of Aikido or Hopkido is to redirect the force being applied on you so that the blow or kick or head butt never lands and you can effect a clean withdrawal. I has never been meant to stand toe to toe grapple and actually fight. Effect separation and bag it. TKD is really a sport. BJJ is skilled street fighting. Krav Maga is some interesting stuff, but you have to be willing to kill in a real fight if you employ some of its methods. But the Aikido skirts do look nice on some women. |

Thought it was a tranny. Dude should have brought a rape whistle.
A million years ago when I was taking okinawan kenpo, we had a dude show up during class one night. Said he was a black belt in Hawaiian kenpo. Turned out, he was! He and our instructor went at it for a while. Eventually the senior belts stepped in and called the sparring/ class over. Lots of fun. |

If that guy has more than six months training, he should be very angry at Senpai.
He strikes me as a basement dweller that read a couple of books and thought he had a Ki energy force field. |

Quoted: He didn't attack him right. View Quote Exactly. Aikido and Hapkido look awesome... when you have a cooperative "attacker" who does exactly what they're supposed to do and dramatically flips onto the mat. I've lightly sparred with a decently trained Hapkido guy and one who was a black belt in Tang Soo Do. As soon as I did some shit they weren't expecting, it was over. |

I took a few years of Karate with the likes of Tim Kirby (beat Chuck Norris) and others in mid 80s Texas when I was a kid. I was never good -- at all, but some of my classmates and others we knew from tournaments were excellent fighters. It was definitely not modern TKD nonsense even though we did kata. Think Corba Kai type of class. I've also taken more combative classes in the .mil than I'd like which incorporate BJJ. I'm still not good. I think rolling on a mat with another dude sharing each other's sweat is gay as fuck. Nothing wrong with that of course.
That said, from my perspective, intentionally going to the ground such as in BJJ will get you killed right quick when off the mat when by yourself in the real world. You can be Billy Bad Ass choking someone out and someone else is going to come up and stomp your face in while you're busy dry humping someone on the ground. I've never seen a real world fight that was guaranteed on on one. Instead, you need to end the fight on your feet physically with or without a weapon and GTFO ASAP. Real world combatives isn't 1 on 1 mat sport sparring. If you're taking BJJ as a sport for fun or because you like to rub skin with others dudes, that's understandable. |

The clench looks like a somewhat modified form of what we learned, but develops a lot faster.
Someone putting their face within range of your knee ... you get (preferably both) of your hands on the back of their head, put the striking leg back, and than do the strongest roll up crunch you know how to do combined with the knee strike and use both hands to ram his face into the point of your knee (driving on the back leg too). Honestly, the thought of doing that to someone in earnest ... they really have to have earned that. It strikes me as a life-altering strike if it fully connects that could well cave in the facial bones. Had a random (so it's not worth anything per se) discussion at a restraunt with a young guy who did grappling (not sure which type) in combat sport who discussed getting hit like something like that, and his comment on it was "I felt like I rammed into a freight train face first." TBH, though, if you put yourself in a position where someone can setup and do that to you, you darn near deserve it just for leaving yourself that open. This is a less setup version that's not as grounded and thus won't hit as hard: https://youtu.be/srMMR3tOSSc?t=62 (also, that's almost straight up karate in the vid from andy. I never heard of him, would like to have seen more back in the day). ETA: The axe kick he does multiple time is ... I class that as showing off. |

Aikido works best on drunks and people that have no clue how to fight.

Simple shit like grabbing Tang Soo Do dude's leg during one of his fancy kicks and taking him to the ground. Any sort of aggressive move toward him resulted in a silly kick or an overly exaggerated punch that was easy to block or use against him. I'm convinced Tang Soo Do is for flare, not fighting. My Hapkido buddy couldn't defend against anything at full speed. Everything he had been trained for was done at half speed so he, in my mind, wasted years studying Hapkido and thinking it made him a badass. He tried a couple of arm bars and wrist locks which I easily broke free of and dropped him on his ass. He had only sparred with other cooperative Hapkido folks and it showed. Other than weak ass MCMAP and generic tussling over the years, I have no training... just decent reflexes, strength, and an understanding of leverage. I know I would get destroyed by a skilled BJJ dude, boxer, or any other combat art. |

I know I would get destroyed by a skilled BJJ dude, boxer, or any other combat art. So, it's what I expected. Dude hadn't trained in free sparring with rules in place only to keep you from maiming or injuring each other (sparring to learn what it's like with someone not playing along with you AND actively trying to go on the offensive). Arts that don't have that element are at a radical disadvantage. If you did that with BJJ and MMA they'd have the same problem (and no, I am not saying all the different arts are equally effective at the same things). It's sort of the same thing with karate ... when it hit mainland japan it was molded into sport, and it came to be that there were two (broadly speaking) categories of karate. You can guess which category most people think of. I trained for a little while in wado, and we had free sparring incorporated, and the teachers wouldn't let us pass up in rank till we showed mastery of the elements taught for the level we were on. Life decided against me getting to continue, and it looks like I won't get to, but I valued it a lot. |

With the first UFC 30 years ago( I think ) I'm still surprised at responses in these threads
It sure woke me up. |

Aikido was created from Japanese jujiststu, as was BJJ.
Ironic, no? |

In the first engagement that wasn't BJJ, that was Muy Thai which is probably one of the best striking arts which goes like PB&J with BJJ.
The second one was BJJ and a solid take down. It's funny hearing people talk smack about BJJ or grappling. It's humbling to get rolled on by someone who knows even a little more than you. If there are any challengers go to any BJJ gym and tell the blackbelt how you feel. After a little humility you will probably join. |
