Aikido For Self-Defence #4

Good work 🎅🇵🇱 👍👏

Aikido is usually abra kadabra good in films. Anyone can pose and fall to the ground like here. in real combat situations this will not work. Just put a guy out there with a hand that will resist, none of these tricks will work.

Tell me about the kind of guy that attacks you in the streets. All systems to some extent use "tricks" since if the attacker knows what one is going to do he will attempt to counter.

Gents please learn to deliver meaningful attacks

[@mraffabilityGB]

We cannot sensibly put 100% into the attacks and risk needless injury; equally we are not putting 100% force into the defences for the same reason. We cannot deliver the strikes we might employ in a real situation or vary the techniques in the way we might if we wanted to harm someone, the possibilities have to be taken as read. We are demonstrating Aikido principles which the skilled Aikidoka may employ and which may not be obvious to the observer. There are definitely Aikidoka out there who are not employing these principles and may as a consequence be of the opinion that Aikido doesn't work.

@mraffabilityGB I am not suggesting attempting to hurt each other. I am suggesting your punches are very much not real.
