[@nofiction]

This is a demonstration. I understand your point though. Martial arts are different that street fights in so far--and especially with Aikido-- as their aesthetic, philosophic, moral and martial dimensions. The principles (or Katas) in action among opponents are a language and communication which might resemblance a dance because, in the overall, the philosophical and moral principle is to harmonise during confrontation, never using force against force. Aikido, among many things, is about blending, getting off-line of the attack and knowing how to fall. Therefore, the purpose of the dance-like movements you see it is not self expression but self-defence. Flow and rolling are techniques to avoid injury and pain. Knowing when to fall and when to stop resisting can save you an arm. And yes, it works in the street.

Really devoted his life to martial arts and was a professional trainer in Aikido for many years before he went Hollywood (whether you like it or not) 2. He is known to be a very well trained Aikido practitioner (whether you like Aikido or not) 3. He made a career out of it, and I am pretty sure he was not chosen for his looks and acting capabilities 4. What have the rest of you done in Martial arts? I have been practicing all my life in Martial Arts and one thing I learned out of it is to NEVER judge what another man is doing, just focus on yourself and your technique. And you can learn something from anybody, even from a beginner....A good question from a new student has made me think on a technique and effectiveness more than any other circumstance in my life.

SASR Commander Actually many UFC fighters were brought up in rough areas e.g. in Brazil and have had numerous fights in the street no rules. I'm sure Steve could handle an average guy in the street but a pro athlete UFC fighter trying to hurt him he would be unlikely to stop. Look at demos of Aikido on here you never see them pulling of some throw or lock against someone really trying to Box them or take them down or Muay Thai kick them etc. In demos when they defend kicks or punches - a punch is leave the arm out technique and defence against kicks usually traditional Karate kicks. If you do Aikido back it up with other arts at least an art with strong striking.

Lmfao the music is great! I thought this was a joke video because I'm laughing so much at it. But then i realise it's uploaded from the Russian Aikido Federation. Which makes it worse because they think Aikido is real! Or is it a fake account...? 🤔

In any real competitive fight - in any discipline martial art etc, the fight will involve elements of struggle. In this "demo," there is zero struggle; the moves are as choreographed as in WWW

Mathew Ridyard WWE?

[@matty2470]

Yes:)

[@daboodeef179]

Mathew Ridyard you realize that the whole point of Aikido is to blend and flow with your enemies movements and use their energy against them so that there is no struggle and the defender can use as minimal energy as possible. getting into a force on force struggle is stupid (in my opinion) and low level (compared to high level masters).

[@loganobryant234]

I agree 100% any one who has ever been in a real fight competition or not has got to struggle at least to some degree anyway everything thing I saw was closer to dancing with falls than any form of actual aikido match... Scripted as movie!

[@matty2470]

Nicely put logan, I understand the point of aikido, but until you show me a video of Segal against a top cage fighter brushing them off like they were mosquitos, I don't buy any of this.

[@lonestargazer9255]

guys, its just a demonstration, not a real fight, he is what he is, an actor, you can't judge a martial art or fighting system, based off one dude

[@jbevan4411]

Very enjoyable 👍 thanks
