Aikido is NOT soft if it's done for real. Most Aikido 'shown' online is a demonstration of what is taught in the dojo. In a dojo situation there is respect. You throw and let go allowing your partner to roll out. In a grapple you allow the person to tap out. Done in a street situation there is no such etiquette. Example. I have trained for almost 30 years. I was asked to be a sempai at a coming together of many dojos to assist someone with their 1st Dan. The move was Suwari Waza Shiho Nage [watch it online] on a sprung floor with tatami mats. He wasn't taught properly and as I was thrown, doing a high fall [roll] he failed to let me go. I hit the mat full force and bruised 3 ribs and I KNOW HOW TO BREAK FALL. Done on a street to someone with no knowledge of break falling [not many do], well, in Australia, years ago, there was a famous 'drunk' cricketer who was just hit by club security. He landed on the road, hit his head and later died. If you are highly trained YOU get into trouble. If it's against 1 or 2 people you can break a few bones but no-one will get killed. More than 2, well that's another story.. Best scenario? No matter what martial art you do, don't get into a fight.
@@TheFKD24 It has a lot to do with the practitioner and who taught them. I was always taught to make the art my own and adjust what I've learnt to any given situation. Lateral thinking [yes a fighter MUST always think]. My long time Sensai is not only an Aikido master but a Wing Chun master and a 2nd Dan in Okinawa style karate. We were taught the one inch punch and that the power comes from your centre. What he also did was invite different martial arts schools and styles to cross train in our dojo. Sharing knowledge. No one martial art is flawless. You build a foundation in one and then add other skills to it. Over years you gain a better perspective. Years of training gives you the ability to predict what your opponent might do. It also gives you speed. A foolish guy I know, built like a brick sh*thouse, grabbed my from behind, wrapping is arms around me. I dropped to my centre, extended my arms outward, with my centre I stepped quickly back and he landed on his arse. If you are taught just one art 'linearly', in a street fight situation you are at a disadvantage.
@@markgeorge5536woah u must be a expert at martial arts, i dont really know anything about martial arts but i wanna learn it, fighting looks so cool but i never want to oof anybody irl
@WaterbotteI No not an expert. It's a constant learning process. If someone thinks they're an expert, then they have ceased to learn. I fell in love with the mechanics of it. THAT is what is cool. I find it fascinating. What it looks like doesn't interest me. I asked my long time sensei once why he jogged to training sometimes and he said "so I can have the ability to run from a fight". I didn't get it until one day I was faced with a situation. I was shocked to find my senses were heightened, my speed and the power my centre generated could have caused a great deal of damage to the individuals because the movements were automatic. Thankfully the three people who jumped me at the same time landed on top of each other generating only a few bruises. From that moment on I took up jogging 🙂
Presentation...not a fight..aikido would never go in to the fight, its controversial...from all disciplines out there you really need to catch aikido...fishing for comments?
I think aikido is more for survival technique as, there are no rules in the streets, just like how criminals don’t follow the rules, they can’t go for the balls, eyes, throat if they fight using, for example, MMA rules, not that they will try to engage in a fight anyway
Bleh...such bologna These were largely scripted. The ones that weren't scripted didn't look like Aikido to me. I hope my post helps oush the algorithm so other people might also give opinions.
I learned a little karate as a teenager and never did any gradings so was a white belt for about a year. We did some sparring in our dojo and I once dropped a Brown belt on his butt. That didn't go so well for me in the next few minutes. I did once defend myself with a single kick after some dickhead put me on the floor when he was one of 3 such dickheads harassing me. I got lucky when I suddenly had 3 supporters all older and larger than me. 50 years later I've started proper training and made some progress, aiming to become Orange belt soon (6 weeks away). I'm not interesred in Karate vs Kung Fu vs Aikido type of speculation. I just want to keep my body functioning, learn something, and not get my arse kicked in the real world. I figure all the trained expert martial artists are not just looking for a fight, but those dickheads who want to cause trouble, probably aren't trained. If can avoid a fight that's the best option, if not, I want to end it quickly without getting hurt.
The secret to making Aikido effective from what I saw is good foot work. The practitioner must put themselves in such a position that the attacker will come at with such force that he can then implement the technique.
Boxing, Tae Kwon Do, and street fighting. 3 things I know a very good amount about. As with any fighting style, it depends on the person fighting using those particular ideologies. I see a lot of videos depicting "Akido experts" getting beat up by people with different "MMA" backgrounds. The thing that always catches my attention is how the "Akido experts" always look very unskilled, untrained, and inexperienced at actual fighting. These videos don't do justice do the Akido art. It's like ground fighting is assumed to be a "superior" way to counter any, every and all Akido style fighters. Joe Rogan made a comment, "if a wrestler shoots an Akido artist to the ground the fights over". This is paraphrased but it's very close to the word for word. However, I seriously doubt this to be true with every and all Akido fighters (assuming there are any.) Take a real, bonafide, Master. At the highest level of Akido, given that fighter is taken to the ground, there are a lot of factors that come to my mind as a fighter. The main one? Experience. I'm in no way a "ground fighting expert", but have many many many experiences of being taken to the ground in real fights. As a fighter, as any real fighter knows, you're always THINKING (if you don't you're not a fighter) you're taught never to panic. No matter what, keep your head (as long as you're conscious. Yes. I have been KO'd, I've been what's called "out on your feet, I've been dazed, I've also been hit very hard to the point of semi-conscious) as long as you're aware, you understand that you have to figure a way to focus. My personal opinion is that an Akido Artist if prepared, focused, and experienced can compete in any match up. As long as that fighter is committed to his practice and masters his craft to the best of their abilities.

I'm curious, can you read my comment? I would love to know if I am anywhere near close to accurate. Thank you in advance.

At 3 minutes in, that is an mma fight. Not an aikido master vs an mma fighter. The rest are all demonstrations.
Ok lol
lol
Bleh...such bologna

LOL,let me fight that Aikido master
Most of those clips didn't demonstrate any Aikido techniques, and the few "challenges" that did were clearly demonstrations.
I can play much better. It is only a play, rather than a fight.

Aikido, go with the flow, follow the circle. If not, your joints will be broken…
