I did Tomiki Aikido (a super competitive style)for 8 years in the UK and when I started Jiu Jitsu I got smoked during sparring over and over again. It was humiliating. I put Aikido aside (and my ego)and trained hard In Jiu Jitsu and became an all round better fighter. Aikido is a very high art form and follows the path of Bushido closely in mind, body and spiritual principal but if you want an all round self defence/attack martial art I believe Jiu Jitsu is the better way to go. MMA like it or not changed the face of fighting arts and the best of those fighters come from Jiu Jitsu. As for Steven Seagal he is just a really terrible actor and an ego driven narcissist.

True... was training Aikido a year or something without any for of former knowledge. Was told, i had the talent in it to become a Master within years but stopped because i had a job as a sailor and not the time to really engage into it anymore. Few Months after that i had a sparing-fight with someone who was learning Wushu. Well... the Aikidotraining worked fine as a baseline. But the upperhand i got was because i mixed in what i learned while fighting for fun with my best friend back then. You could say i did some kind of Aikido-based streetfight. Would i try to fight expierienced fighters? Nope. Definitly not. Because even if would keep up the training and workout i would not stand a chance because i never really learned to attack but just defend myself... Tbh? Aikido for itself? Nah... not really this good. You could better go into a good Pro-Wrestling-School and learn there things like jointmanipulation and a few tricks that can get handy in fight, than learning just Aikido. And even then... dont really fight a good MMA-Fighter who knows what he has to do.

I don't get why people compare aikido to foundational arts or those using mostly only body honestly, it's better accompanied by Judo or Sumo knowledge and adapted for swordfights. All this with the goal of not harming the opponent, It's a spiritual, pacific addon to martial arts, not a genuine combat solution. Fighting someone who knows what they're doing with their fists using only aikido sounds a bit weird. I really wish Seagull didn't make It stupid, now a bunch of people have aikido only as foundation and a lot of martial artists disrespect the intention of the art itself without knowing It's history or purpose... I find It sad to see It compared to stuff like slapfu...

[@WrestlingNele]

@@flyingstonemon3564 yeah. Aikido is a nice addition to other Arts. I remember my master told me, that the purpose is mainly to defend against swords. This is why the attacker in training is attacking a lot from above or with more wide motions, while in boxing the goal is to not show the other person what you are about to do through bodymotion.

[@Quickandslick]

I think the term MIXED martial arts speaks volumes. Meaning, its a mixture of multiple types of martial arts. If a person combines the strengths of multiple types of martial arts including that of akido, and goes against someone who specializes in only one particular style it only makes sense he would come out on top since he has removed the weakest parts of any particular style and replaced it with the stronger elements of another.

The original masters who devoted themselves to learning and teaching Morihei Ueshiba's Aikido back in the day were already experts in jujutsu and/or judo. On the contrary most people today who take up aikido have never had any exposure to any martial arts, certainly none that involve getting physically hurt so it is no wonder aikido fails them. It was never meant to be a "complete" martial art - no martial art is - but more of a supplement to other martial arts. In fact, its principles are quite sound; it's just in the implementation is where it fails because of the way it is taught and because it has been watered down over time to fit in with Ueshiba’s philosophy of non-violence. Steven Seagal's Tenshin "Aikido" is a style (or rather approach) that is more true to the original aiki jujutsu from which it was derived. This style is much more direct and certainly more aggressive (some would say brutal) than most other styles, which is contrary to aikido philosophy. In any case, Aikido "works" for Steven Seagal because he is 6'5" and 210 lb. When you are that big, you don't really need martial arts, do you.

Aikidos core are form stems of Kokoryu and Daito ryu Aikijitsu along with Budo. Not including what Tomiki and Yoshinkan have omitted to make life easier on all of us. O Sensei didn't name his art Aikido as it was picked by a council. Same with Judo as Kano once told Ueshiba,he wished he had more weapons in Judo. I hope that helps some.

Please be sure the script is accurate. For instance, the older Aikido master with 1 arm, about halfway through the video, did no blending during the entire fight. The Aikido master sparring with a "larger stronger opponent", when taken down, was not threatening with the headlock at all. His opponent just let him up. Many of the Aikido "strikes" that might work are illegal in MMA (throat, finger manipulation) and others will get you killed (stepping to the side with your hands down).

[@yngvesamuelsson]

You have to learn to use the so-called distraction punches in Aikido. The aim is not to injure the opponent unnecessarily. On the other hand, causing him to be distracted during his attack. So that you can perform your throws and locks. You use these distractions to the full if you are attacked in the street. Over time, both throws and locks become more sophisticated and direct. You can also practice defense in a sitting position.

[@LightsOnMultiMediaMindArts]

You may find yourself in a self defense situation once or twice or not at all in your life.

Aikido isn't meant to be used in competition, hence the fact that there's no competition in it. It's about learning to link your mind and your body, whatever the kind of body you have.

And I'm not speaking spritually mubmo-jumbo, "believing in your victory to make it true" kind of bullshit, no I'm speaking strategy. Faking an opening there in order to provoke an attack which you know you can use to do a technique to subdue the partner/adversary. It's like writing a sentence or, as I like to say, playing music, one word or note leads to another that leads to another, that leads to the end.

If you stand and brawl with someone, you better be good at punches, kicks, and have a descent ground game, but even the effectiveness of that is chance based. Whoever strikes first usually wins.

[@shadowmoor99]

Something to keep in mind is what circumstances different Martial arts excel at. Aikido excel at getting out of a tough spot when people are still threatening you, grabbing you and intimidating you. Boxing excel when you can land a good punch to their face and knock them out. Wing chun is a martial arts made for close quarter figthing, where you can not back up, like if you're pinned against a wall or in your bathroom with a home invader. It's a martial arts built around standing still and standing firm, not giving up an inch. They all are meant to turn the tables on the attacker in different circumstances.

[@mattmacpherson1033]

Aikido even pre WW2 versions are based on aiki jitsu. The fighting style is aiki jitsu. Aikido is budo, aiki jitsu is bushido. I studied aikido under Takashi Kushida Sensei for 14 years. Aiki jujitsu was not taught except in special circumstances. It is not designed to hurt. It is designed to disable or kill.

It is garbage and doesn't do any of what you just said. The moves require compliance from the 'victim' a good 90% of th etime, and the throws don't use leverage, they rely on the person being thrown to comply, often by jumping or rolling.

Trying to promote it as such simply highlights ones ignorance in the martial arts.

[@RoyAmazonas]

This video is total crap. No MMA fighter grabs somebody's shirt like in the video. Also, no experienced street fighter puts his or her arm out, so one can just grab it. Many examples in the video show, that the aggressor is not really attacking. A real fighter would never attack with a stick from just top to bottom. In addition, a real MMA does not just stand still watching what the defender does with the arm. A MMA fighter would immediately start punching. This changes the fight dynamic dramatically. There are dozens of genuine videos filming equally trained Aikido and MMA experts. Aikido always loses. Martial Art is an Art and should be respected as such. But it is not the most effective in a real fight if the other person is a MMA, Krav Maga or Street Fighter. This video ist just wrong.

Akido is fun. It’s like dancing. It’s was developed for samurai to fight against a sword, especially after losing their own. It is NOT a good self defense tactic. I’ve studied it for years. It’s decent exercise, and not bad to know in addition to other things. If you trust your life to Aikido, you will be disappointed. There is an easy way out of most aikido moves, and all you need in order to defend is a basic Knopf how the body moves. Aikido is a Bullshido form of fighting. This is all coming from someone who enjoys aikido, just understands what it really is.

[@مهاجر-في-الغربة]

It's really bizarre all these BS forms of fighting were developed as "martial" arts, though. It makes you doubt the founders themselves. If the founders really understood fighting, why would they develop such ineffective systems for it? And if they didn't, then why call their systems "martial" arts when there is little martial about their showmanship and athletic arts?

[@robertkgilbert]

many of my friends who had studied other martials arts and have "belts" if you want to count belts, ended up in aikido eventually after years of practicing other arts. aikido is easier on the body and "mind". aikido normally is not an ego thing. "you go with the flow" and get thrown. they wanted to continue doing a "martial art". I have a friend who finally gave up martial arts and has series of black belts in different martial arts and a couple of dans in aikido. his son got in break dancing, this old guy is break dancing with his son for fun. His don does it for competition and performance. He was going around with his son so he thought he would do break dancing. Normally, fathers end up in sports when kids are doing it. I ended up in judo because I had to learn the techniques for "my kids competitions". I got into aikido in San Diego when I walked into this one place to learn karate and saw the sensei doing aikido. I was like "he did not even touch them and they flew in the air.". Not everyone wants to fly in the air. Ki sometimes does not work. with my friend break dancing, I thought it was funny. He is actually happy that he does not have to show up to do training.

@@kritGeist hmmmm shiho nage is in judo as well as in aikido. it is a form developed in many ways called the four corner throw. it is not a "development to fight against a sword" . . .. it is an kata so to say an extension of the sword. how one trains a four corner throw mirrors the same motions of the sword in the same movement. this has nothing to do with "defense" in the sense of defense. one has one's limitations in dealing with the throw. in aikido, the movement is more of a reaction as in judo, one can attack or defend using shiho nage. Osensei trained a number of different martial arts. aikido itself have different practitioner styles. some are accused of being a dance while on the other side of the art, there is the "demand" for a more aggressive form of the art. In any case, you most always have a uke "willing" or flowing with the throw set by the nage. how much friction or restrained is in question. most of the time to always, the uke is a willing subject expecting to be thrown and flows with the art so to say "the uke and the nage". hey, what do I know . . . I am a forever white belt. i have never tested. never found a reason to be tested. i did aikido in san diego, hawaii and in germany. when i left, i was still a white belt.

[@gabrielbitencourt1879]

What people dont understand about aikido, is that they think it is choreographed because the attackers often "launch themselvee" on the ground. The truth is that those joint locks hurt as hell and if you are on the receiving end of it (specially if you are also an practitioner) you will know that if you try to resist and fight against it, it will only hurt you more. In fact, letting the energy flow is one of the key concepts of aikido. So you just go to the ground and roll to escape/diminish the pain of the lock basically. So yeah, people are "willingly" going to the ground and following the master, because they will just get more hurt if they dont. (Also English is not my primary language so ignore any jankyness on the comment)
