www.aikiweb.com describes it way better then i can. Lets put it this way. A part of my training is hitting the mat. Its a MA
no, i think you could describe it better, it lacks the "What is ikido?" faq, for stupid (or drunk) people like me. So far it just looks like a violent matrial art, no wonder it hurts. Where is the peace? Wjere is the peace?
It isn't a violent martial art. It shows you how to defend yourself against violent people and to use their negative energy. Obviously there is some "violence" but it is only used if people are acting violently towards you. It is definitely not about starting fights or kicking someone's ass. The philosophy is very peaceful and that is what most people never understand about most martial arts.
Too true. And its actully considered a "Soft marital art" lol. A part of our training is throwing ourselves to the floor....that hurts ><
Akido's pretty fun. Not super effective in a street fight sort of scenario, but if you know how to box it's a great supplement. Just keep guard in mind which is something Akido doesn't stress. Anyway it's a great workout. I go to karate/Judo on mon/wen evenings and theres a Akido clas in the same gym that starts at 7 and they let me go in and have a little fun with them. Don't have the uniform though and their kinda picky about that. Judo has sort of the same limitations in it's moves are designed to be used on someone wearing a gi. Not many biker gangs going around in judo uniforms, but whatever.
The Aikido I take is considered "combat" aikido. My sensei is an ex marine and was a cop for the Dallas area. So our moves most likely end with a diffrent outcome then theres do...Mainly something always gets broke with ours lol. But yea most MAs aren't gonna help you much in street fights unless you have years of experince. I wouldn't use Aikido in most fights or any MA for that matter cause i'd fight like a dirty dog when your defending yourself or someone you love the last thing you need to worry about is honor and pride. My dad put it this way. Bite his ear off cause hes a bigger and badder dude and when people say "You fricken bit his ear off" you can always say "Yeah but look how big he was and look who won" Yeah I wonder why so many places are picky about Gi....
sam, if you continue to display this amount of malevolence I will not hesitate to use my "flying banana" move. The police asked me to join the force because I can hit a fleeing criminal in the head with a mango, dead on. I can also fart someone into a coma, and ride kangaroos.
i have fantasies about akido. always had since i first say the adds back in 60s. fantasies about being some old guy and by throwing myself at the floor in just the right way at just the right time causing my attackery to fall down and break his nose and knock himself out and then getting up and bowing to his unconcious form and saying "so sorry". yes i know that's probably mostly fantasy, and a fantasy that i wouldn't be a bit surprised could probably get me killed if i took it as anything else. i've never really gotten arround to doing any of that stuff, but i like the idea of my fantasy about it. i'm pretty sure, young or old, you've probably got to be pretty fit to really carry off any of that, still there's something about the idea of not having to be young or LOOK fit to do it ... that just basicly appeals to me as much as any of that does =^^= .../\...
And you previously claimed to be God. With all your talent I suggest you pick a vocation and get on with it. Start with the farting and roo riding.
