I don't use ICQ anymore. -
I have been working with Steven on his ground game to tighten it up a bit. Steven is pretty tough when some comes to close contact and wrist control.
Steven should be ready in about 5 months to make his UFC debut.ISeekGirls.com since 2005Comment

It's like every other martial art. It looks really cool, but it doesn't work for shit in real life. Unless someone falls right into the "trap", they'll end up getting their asses stomped.

Plus you have to use the enemy's momentum against him. You can't do offensive moves. You can't go defending yourself all time.CUSTOM TOONS, BLOG THEMES and DESIGNS | toonyshack AT gmail.comComment

ive heard that aikido is not for sport, because the goal of that martial art is to break bones, necks, or fatally injure opponents. That is why aikido is not part of olympics unlike karate, judo, and taekwondo.
tho i love to see it in UFC as well lolComment

A lot of people don't know this, but Bruce Lee was one of the first true MMA practitioners and advocates. He believed in taking techniques from various forms of martial arts, using what worked, and throwing the rest away.
Segal is a martial artist, but what you see in his movies, etc, would not work in a real MMA situation. Unless he was able to bring weapons into the cage..

Aikido is basically a defensive art. The problem with it is that it lacks realistic combat situations when training the movies. In other words, they look good choreographed, or in specific rehearsed situations, but don't always work effectively under different kinds of combat situations. A strong wrestler or JuJitsu guy would give any Aikido guy a real hard time.

Bruce was pretty amazing at a bunch of different styles. He practiced western boxing, and was so good at it, that he entered an amateur boxing tournament in the 50's, and won 4 bouts by KO, including one against 3-time amateur champ, Gary Elms.
Bruce felt that Wing Chun, along with many other Eastern arts, didn't focus enough on conditioning the body. That's why he started looking at western combat techniques too.

Tomiki maybe, not Hombu Aikikai, which has no Randori to speak of.
Aikido is usless in the real world against a fully resisting opponent. It took me 2 years to see the light. Years later, when starting to train with Rener Gracie, I was asked to mount and keep it. I thought me at 270lbs, and Rener at 190, it would be a cake walk. It was an eye opener. Aikido is pussified Judo, where your training partner falls for your throws. Aikido guys actually take great pride in being able to fall pretty.

I reposted that same video.
Back story on it.
Aikido master put out a challenge for $5000.00 that his Aikido could beat any MMA fighter. There's video on youtube of this aikido master fighting his students knocking them out and throwing them around without touching them, kinda like Dim Mak.
Anyways, the MMA figther takes up the challenge. You can actually see even in that shitty clip, the Aikido master is shocked he got punched in the face. It's hilarious.

When this video came out, it was a big buzz on the MMA boards because it looks like Keith Jardine.
Sokojudo came out with the Predator Mask, due to MMA.TV posting about it. There is another online petition/thread for Keith Jardine to come out to Techno Viking. So far, it's a no.

Sure it does, against a non resisting opponent. Ie. standing around minding their own business and then clothes lined out of the blue by some jackass in a hakama doing irimi nage.
I have 2 years of Aikido. It doesnt' work in the real world against a resisting opponent.

you all have no clue what your talking about icq and i will enlighten you !
yes wing chun has been used in ufc btw but the guy sucked and got owned.
lastly, this thread is bsComment

I think bottom line is that Aikido, by enlarge, matches up poorly against other grappling styles, especially when some technically sound striking is incorporated into the mix. Aikido is most effective against... Aikido.

Wing Chun is another martial art that does well against...
Wing Chun.
Two Wing CHung GRANDMASTERS Cheung and Boeztpe go at it in a real fucking street fight. It isn't fucking wing chun used, its' shitty kindergarten wrestling.

why aikido fighters?? i think k1 fighters will do very well in a cage. schemmy schild (3 times k1 champ) has no problems with mma.. he can clean it up there.Comment

the goal of the traditional karate is the same: to destroy the enemy. And Brother Bilo: even if you think that aikido is a joke, I'd like to see how you fight with an aikido master (I'm not an aikido guy, just don't like when ppl say something stupid, without knowing it at all)Comment

Ok now. Let me tell you that UFC is full of a bunch of wannabes. The true Moo Do is not UFC. That is why "True Moo Do Masters" do not bother with these ridiculous events made purely for financial gain.
I have trained under true Moo Do Master for 3 years. Let me tell you these UFC guys dont stand 2 second with a True Moo Do master. I am not sayin that my 1st degree Black will hold up in the octagon with Royce Gracie. but....
I have seen some gnarly shit with "my" own eyes. Crazy shit man crazy shit.
Now everytime I see UFC . I kinda laugh. It's the new WWF. We need a guy like King to promote it . That would be great.Comment

Is Drunken Fist more for show, or is it actually functional? It sure does look cool as hell.
Anyone have any links to actual fights using it?Comment
