Aikido and reality

[VitoBrata]

Why is it that every time I see someone post up some Aikido video on Utube they title it something like "Aikido street fight" and when you watch it it's always some jackass with an opponent that is so obviously letting himself be thrown around.

I have personally trained some in Muay Thai and JuJitsu and there is no way I'm going to dance around with you, or run at you like an idiot just asking to be thrown down. I'm going to clinch you up, or shoot for the takedown. Especially if you go into the Aikido stance, in fact if you go into that stance I will prob just look for something to throw at you.

I'm a Quidong Grand Master! I can look at you and stop your heat!

PLEASE DON'T STOP MY HEAT, GRAND SCHLONG-MASTER!!!

I can look at you and stop your heat!

Seriously, do you have to shit in every thread on this board?

 

[Sinestro]

Sorry, a typo. I meant heart!


DO YOU? LEAVE ME ALONE!

LOL.. POSTWHORE!!

More worthless Prattle!!

Ok, now you're getting to be kind of annoying. Sorry we all don't believe in you're healing powers. You know, as you drivel on an on about the "non believers" you are doing the exact same thing by whining when people don't buy into your psychic powers. Everyone has a right to believe what they want. It's not like we all hunted you down to make fun of your "powers", you came to us. It's really kind of an obvious need to get attention.

If you are respected as a faith healer on your board, why come over here bragging about you testimonials? What made you think that you were not going to encounter some opposition? A little naive to think a bunch of body builders are going to let you make ridiculous statements about magic spells without some ribbing.

 

[Sinestro]

I know..


I love all you bodybuilders!! I'm one of you too!!

Sorry, for being an ass.

I don't lie though!

Dude this is some nutso shit. Check yourself into a clinic and stop doing jedi mind tricks. And quit harassing the board. You're going to get banned.

 

[SacToSD]

Dude, you're fucking with Steven Seagal if you fuck with Aikido. LOL

Its about damn time people called this dude out. All he does is claim everyone else has worthless posts.....

hmmmmm.......


SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE HAS WORTHLESS POSTS! (not you sac, im talking about sin)

GTFO

I did'nt say all the post were worthless. I like all of them in fact. I learn a lot of what i do from reading on this board. There's truth in everything. I've been lurking since the Renegade Days. I'm trying to contribute. How, do I prove anything to a skeptic? Any, of you live in MN?

I'm going to take every martial arts I can. I already train myself. I punch the heavy bag for hours on end. I even go in the sauna and put my hands over the hot coals to train for heat resistance. I stand barefooted and walk across gravel. I do a lot of things people would call goofy. It hardens you up.

It's what all the great martial artists do. Meditation, breathing, control, focus etc.....

I hold weights for example for as long as possible to build up pain tolerance.

Sorry, again for coming off as such a ass wipe. It just makes people more skeptical. I just do what anyone could basically do if they believed and trained for it. It's simple. You, don't start off benching 400lbs. You start with the bar and work your way up. I use that philosophy with everything. Practice does make perfect!

My bad, my bad. I do like doing things (this will definetly sound wierd!!) that harden you up. Like nail bending, and such

 

[Sinestro]

Cool, I'll try that too!!

This is why I can do what I do! Get it? I'll try anything from any discipline. If I can do them all lat once I will.

It just came to me to hold my hand over burners on my stove duh! Maybe, stick my head in the oven!!

I've also been thinking about tapping into the power grid! Same idea, different venue. Start out slow. Which, i've been doing with 9 volt batteries on the tounge. I've grabbed some wires with wet hands. I used a power converter. So, it's just straight DC low amperage. I wetted my hands. I did'nt feel anything. I just blew a circuit. I was thinking about getting a stun gun and stunning myself. Or a tazer. How about tapping into ley lines for more power? Or, I was thinking getting xrays bombarded at me. Without, the lead suit! LOL.. I have more I ideas. Such, as swallowing poisons to build up an immunity to them. Or, head butting walls. The possibilities are endless. I'm already doing most of them too.

in principle akido isnt that bad of an idea, as long as your only fighting track stars. hence the need for everyone to always run at you or throw punches like they do in steven segal movies. i really think the best fighting systems are the ones that take out all the bullshit and get down to business fast like alot of militaries use.

 

[violentmessiah]

aikido

utilizes joint locks that appear to often be forgotten by most practicioners. Throwing people can be very effective as well....especially if their head hits concrete. No, I'm not an aikido practicioner. Yes, I do have martial arts training (21 years) and I teach. I do like throws, but throws are for evasion or to crack a skull or break a neck if you're lucky...that's if you let go. If you throw while you're holding someone you can continue controlling them and work into a joint lock/break or strike (like foot stomp to the face). Now if you have a knife....well, that adds a new dimension to things...
It's not Qui Dong, by the way, but you probably already knew that....as a practicioner of acupuncture I do work on my internal energy. Internal energy, called qi, chi, ki by many is an interesting thing, I prefer to use it for healing and train to break things...but it's fun every now and then to hit an acupuncture point on one of my students and "mess with their ki".

I would not consider aikido a fighting art for the street (yes I have studied it in the past, along with various other arts and grappling). However, any training is better than none, fighting is never cut and dry, boxing is good, wrestling is good, judo can be effective, as is ju jitsu and other arts. Just because you study a specific art does not mean that you do not know how to block, punch, kick, etc. Anyone can "win" a fight on any given sunday, such is life, if you have a glass jaw all the training in the world is not going to help if you get nailed in it.

 

[violentmessiah]

protect the jaw

I once knew an old preacher who used to box. This old guy told me a story about how he trained people. One person who told him he wanted to be a boxer got a swift uppercut to the chin. When he came to the preacher said "you can't box, got a glass jaw". Funniest ole guy, sloooooooow talker, mellow southern fella'....cracked me up!

 

[wostok]

AIKIDO IS A VERY DANGEROUS MARTIAL ART, but its dangerous for the aikido guy himself not his opponent.

The aikido people i met have this false sence of security. They have a high deegree belt in aikido and think they can handle pretty much anyone. That is, until some random guy punch them in the face and they somehow couldnt trap the hand going fullspeed into their mouth.

There was a time when everyone wanted to have their "own" system and people came up with a lot of imaginary techniqus that werent really battle tested. I think aikido could be one of those...

Not discounting "some" of the less complicated throws. I just don't see the practical use of this martial art, I guess like someone said, some training is better than no training. The fundamental problem I see with it is it seems to require that your opponent make a rediculous assault with no real goal in mind. You don't see Aikido videos where they are dealing with attacks from someone who is in a proper fighting stance. Plus, if you need ME to hit YOU for your martial art to work, well I'm prob just not going to hit you. I'm not some asshole who is out there attacking everyone I see. And if I do hit you I'm going to do it in a way where you're going to have real problems "throwing" me anywhere, you better just try to block it because there is a kick coming right after that, and I intend to clinch you up after that.

A "defense" based martial art just isn't going to be effective against someone who has some fighting experience.

But like someone else said, anyone can win any fight on any given day. That is a 100% true statement.

Better watch out you will turn into a super-hero!
Quick go do the head in the oven one for an hour or two.
A gas oven works the best!
