Just spent a weekend practicing Ju-jitsu, Kung-Fu (combat Tai-Chi), Shotokan, Kempo and of course Aikido. I have dan grades in Ju-Jitsu, Judo and Aikido plus I've spent time boxing. The one thing I can tell you is that they're all the same. Different ways of teaching, different exercises, different forms or kata's. In essence when it comes down to it there are only so many ways of hurting or controlling the human body to gain an advantage. It's easy to call out any one martial art if you've little to no experience. Did you know that Tokyo Riot Police have to have at least 2 dan grades before they can attend the Yoshinkan school of Aikido. Did you know that the basis of British Police unarmed restraint is Aikido, as are some of the techniques used by the British Army. What you're watching here is practice and believe me Yamashima Sensei is quite impressive.
If this Aikido is so effective why is it that not one person ever stepped into the Octagon? Let me tell you why. Aikido world would lose millions of dollars.
Thank you for sharing. Merci bc!
