Why doesn't some Aikido master just come in and clean up in the UFC?
 

Makes sense doesn't it?

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.

"come at me like this"

techno viking is a lover not a fighter

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.

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 lol

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.

Yeah no shit. He started off with Wing Chun and progressed into MMA.


I'm surprised Wing Chun isn't used in UFC ... would make things interesting also :thumbsup

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.

i took aikido for about 3 years and trust me that stuff won't work in UFC. the best Aikido master would get destroyed in the UFC

I don't think there is any doubt about that

Oh by the way, couldn't resist posting this ^^ http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bxb0PCBV0vk

did it take you 3 years to realize that?

Steven Segal couldn't fit in the cage.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Actually that is Rob Halford and they are about to have gay sex.

and you were the "know it all" in the days before the UFC??? Aikido does have it's place in society, law enforcement such as police train in Aikido and it is great for restraining people, it's not just for the UFC.

I love that video. Wish there was some more back story to this. Just seems too unreal. :1orglaugh

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.

Bald old guy, Aikido Master, Guy in shorts, MMA fighter.

Keith Jardine?

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.

Thats bullshit. It works perfectly fine in real life, the thing is Aikido is not used for competition.

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 sure?

http://www.tomiki.org/rules.html

Yep, I made this point earlier about Tomiki Aikido. Probably the only one that can be used in a real life situation, because the train and fight with their techniques.

Too bad Tomiki Dojos hardly exist anywhere in the USA.

This just blows my mind.

Fakest Aikido bullshit ever.

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 bs

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.

what the fuck is that? that is the biggest bullshit i have ever seen. :1orglaugh has any actually experienced Ki before where you feel shit when they don't even touch you? I don't think extending your Ki toward someone can ever be possible.

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.
