Against most other styles of fighting it will loose 99% of the time, thats just pure Aikido vs pure other style, If you mix Aikido up with Karate or Muay Thai or something it will be very powerfull combination but on it%26#039;s own it would not do well against someone who knows how to fight|||Aikido teaches more than just throws and joint locks. I believe that most of what aikido has taught me is to avoid strikes and to handle them from a safe distance. Whatever you do from there on...
My experience with aikido has mainly taught me to recognise an opponents initiative and the weaknesses and openings in an attack. the goal of aikido is to get to the opponent without hurting yourself.
The by the book techniques may not always be the most practical in a real fight situation so creativity and broad knowledge are a plus however that does not mean that the techniques are not practical but to truly master them takes a long time|||Street fighting %26gt; all.
Want proof? Check out http://www.kimbofight.net for every single of of Kimbo%26#039;s fights and training videos.. All free of course :P|||Aikido would NOT be good against the average mugger. Unless you%26#039;ve spent a good portion of your life (at least a decade) practicing, it won%26#039;t be useful. The most effective self defense tactics are learned in the military, which are really just a combination of different styles.
If you can, it%26#039;s always best just to run if you%26#039;re confronted with a knife or firearm- as muggers hardly ever use their fists.
Fighting is never about one style, it%26#039;s about knowing the weakness of your opponent%26#039;s form or planned move. It%26#039;s hardly ever about going on the offensive unless you%26#039;re a professional like the UFC fighters. Aikido can actually be pretty effective if the user is highly trained, going up against a lesser trained opponent using whatever style.
you%26#039;re right though, put the little aikido guy against the seasoned judo kid, the little guy will get pummeled.|||I studied Aikido for several months. I%26#039;m no expert, but I can say this from what I learned.
In order for Aikido to be applied correctly, the opponent must 100% commit to his move. Haymaker punches, long communicated kicks or moves in a similar manner. If the enemy doesn%26#039;t do this, then the fight will pretty much be a stalemate.
If you%26#039;re going up against a veteran fighter, who knows their timing, combos and worst of all, capable to negate grapplers, you MAY(key word) be at a disadvantage.
Remember, even the best fighters have made a few mistakes that cost them a fight.
Yes. I do believe if you mix up Aiki with a couple other arts you can have a potent mix. And I%26#039;m always one for making something more useful.
I actually did some personal modifying to my Aikido. Tossed in some elbows and knees due to the close proximatey of Aikido. I also had a few techniques change on me while I was at the dojo and they turned out to be a little more painful then expected. But like most theories, thay have to be tested to be proven combat worthy.
Good luck with your research.|||Never underestimate a power of martial art.
i am 42, spent 28 yrs in training all type of fighting sports (seriously ... 7months in thailand muay thay 7hours /day + champion on K1 in my country ...) ... and one of the few times i had to do something ... came ... taichi !!! amaizing but true ... and very very efficient. (i was impressed !!)
i know that aikido is powerfull ... just repeat and repeat and reapeat (this is the trick in martial arts ... repetition !!!)
the more you repeat ... the better you will be !
whatever you practice. (when people say you become efficient only after xx years WRONG you become efficient after having repeated 20%26#039;000 times ... you decide to repeat a move 20%26#039;000 in a year or repeat 4 moves 5%26#039;000 in a year ... the restult is you will be efficient in 4 year or even more . coz you will have a conflict !! so to become efficient repeat and each time imagine the situation ... do not dream about serial tv and make the moves ... concentration and repeat... it will become a normal move ... look how steven seagal looks natural, it almost looks unnatural so natural it looks like !!! it is real art... - the guy is good !
I trained teenagers ... some became champions (1 vice french champion of french boxing 6 months after having left my class !!)
(i became champion with couple of hits ... not a big array of amazing kiks and twisted jabs ... simple hits ... and repeated 10%26#039;000 times. ) and i am the best in my area ... (checked in the beginning of this year with a young guy who is champion of taekwondu in his african country ... i am still in the race !!! Yeahhh !)
PS aikido and muay thay msut be brutal .!! maybe with a little bit of greko roman catch ?!
PS2 the advantage of aikido is that by becoming old, you keep your efficiency ... unlike muay thai or boxing|||aikido is very unrealistic in its training, also focuses on small joint manipulation, the smaller the joint the harder to grab. The only effective aikido practicioners are known to be at least black belts, its an art that needs absolute perfection to make it work. I wouldn%26#039;t recommend it.|||Agree with bablsham, against a regular mugger, an Aikidoka would get killed, as would many other stylists.
And why would Aikido make a goo mix with any of the arts you names? Aikido is the diametric opposite of arts like Muay Thai, and is still has less in common with karate than most people think. Remember, karate came from both Okinawa and Japan, with the Japanese variants most directly descends from classic Jujutsu, whereas Aikido comes from Aiki-jujutsu, a Japanese art dissimilar to Jujutsu.
Anyways, no mixing Aikido would not really do much for a stylist. How about cross-training with a better grappling art, and mixing Muay Thai with Jiu-Jitsu or Judo.
Just a thought.
