aikido society

Do people still think that….?
tkd or karate or even aikido works in 21st century society
i trained in tkd, for 1 yr and had a great instructor but the art was totaly bs, i then went to kungfu and judo and saw how real martial arts are supposed to be used
mma has given a new breed of defence, which is even greater
and people who say that its not the art but the person who does it which matters is totaly bs as well
beacuese a person doing tkd, training every day would still get submitted by a bjj or judo practitoner
im not trying to bash other arts i think ivej ust been reading to much on bullshido lol
when ur in a fight do you go straight for the takedown or do u stand up
wats ur favourite taekdown
thank u
Chuck Liddell’s base art is Kenpo Karate.
George St. Pierre’s is Tae Kwon Do
Some are more realistic than others, but they all have a place.

attack aikido

Why isn’t it that Aikido experts do not take part in or win any mixed martial arts competitions?
Aikido is supposed to be an effective form of defense against any attack and also uses ‘Ki’, which is said to be more powerful than brute strength.
Well first off there is a really big differance between fighting on a ring or a street fight and self defense. A street fight is a clash of two ego’s that 99% of the time wouldn’t happen if one person was bigger and walked away and refused to fight. Being the bigger person or walking away is a form of self defense, as is defusing the situation. The other 1%, where there is no choice but to physicly defend yourself is self defense. Self defense is not about points, or a belt, or money, or glory, or yoru ego, it is about survival pure and simple. it is being able to survive to go home to your family.
Fighting in a ring or street fighting is a choice, and quite honestly most people who take a traditional art don’t feel they have to prove anything to anyone, and fighting in a ring or street fighting is not why they signed up. Many only think of the self defense aspect as secondary. They mainly take it for fitness, mental development, and stress relief.
That being said Akido is also a very hard style to use well in self defense until you reach a high level. It is one of the most complicated styles to learn and use well. There are also some bad schools out there, as with any style. Quite honestly with as popular as MMA is getting, I think within the next few years that you will see a lot af McGym’s open up, the same way it happened with karate and TKD.
Please remember that there are many good hardcore Martial Artists out there who have no interest in competing in a ring because they have nothing to prove. If it is your thing that is cool, but don’t think that other styles are worthless because most of there students do not share that. There are many Okinawin masters that could put the hurt to you if you forced them to.
Don’t judge other styles by whether they compete in MMA, because for many that is not their thing.
