Answer 2

Hi there It does seem aikido is getting some hammer recently? Firstly before people start sticking their two cents worth in lets look at where it comes from first? Its based on core concepts of koryu jujutsu as is judo bjj and lots of other gendai arts. So fundamentally its techniques are solid! Which brings me to gendai arts or modern do arts. These are japanese arts that for historical reasons are more focused on the DO or personal development on the individual hence why they are trained the way they are. They may not well be trained in what is considered to be a realistic manner because they are about development and not the spirit of fighting. If they were bujutsu arts then that would be a different matter. Like i said the principles are solid but like anything its down to how you use them. There is a sport version of Aikido called tomiki where they compete just like competitors of judo. I have had my shoulder ripped out by the world champion of tomiki whilst doing randori which took a good six months to sort out and my should will never be what it once was. Compare this damage to that of a broken nose or bust lip? Its long term! Everything has its place. Aikdio isnt ever going to be useful in a ufc type environment just as restraining or avoiding a knife attack wont go down too well against a bjj practitioner. The art is fit for purpose hence why its used by lots of law enforcement officers around the world. Does it work for real? Depends on the situation and the individual. If youve resorted to using it then youve missed so much that has happened before it and you could question why as a martial artist that was the case? Maybe the bag at the gym wasnt quite up to explaining that one? The most stupid question ever asked by a novice turning up to class. Do you do any boxing in this art? No its an Aikido class??? Bottom line dont try to turn or use something it wasnt designed for. If you want UFC go train in that. If you want Aikido go do that. Its a personal choice and the choices of the arts you think are important or want to train in will change over the years. Whats so important to a novice isnt a big deal to someone who has trained for decades. The eyes will only see what the mind allows and a novices eyes see differently from the experienced! Best wishes idai

Answer 3

Judas Rabbi

Answer 4

Personally - I would like to see The Chair Wizard III.

Because -
1) Of all the Best Answers I have had, he is probably the person who has given me the most of them (by percentage) so I would like to thank him in person for helping me get this far and this close to level 7
2) His location is close enough from where I live that meeting face to face is within the realm of possibility. Whereas some other Y!A users I would like to meet involves travelling by plane and $$$$ - even the ones in Australia, it still means at least several hours by plane
3) Because of where he lives - he would know where to take me to the best coffee and cake and probably be able to give me a personalised tour of the "G" - LOL (The "G" - that hallowed ground for that one day in September!)
