Like, what if your enemies are two people? Or three? Or what if the guy has a knife?|||Although I do not practice Aikido, i believe that it would be good for this type of self defense. I have been to Aikido seminars. Much of there system is built around not getting hit, kicked or grabbed. They are taught how to defend against multiple attackers. They are even taught how to disarm a person with a sword or knife. In my opinion it is a very interesting art. I plan to learn more Aikido.
In Aikido you are taught not to harm, but control. You don%26#039;t meet force with more force as we do in karate. You are taught to redirect this force. But when redirecting the force you have to make a choice to control or to break when doing one of the many joint manipulations.|||Aikido is actually one of the few styles that teaches techniques against a rear attack such as a garb and a choke as well as against multiple attacker, both armed and unarmed.
It is an extremely effective art of self defense as well as complete system (involving and including the body work, weapons, spirituality and community aspects).
In aikido training and practice, multiple attacks are not planned out in a set kata. The nage (one who is delivering a technique) is surrounded by several uke (the one who is attacking and receiving the technique) who may attack him or her in any manner they choose, attacking repeatedly as soon as they regain their feet.
The techniques of ikkyo, nikkyo, sankyo and yankyo are all effective ways of disarming an armed opponent to name or list but a few.
Why would one care about not harming his opponent when the same is trying to harm him or her in a real combat situation? Aikido is the art of peace in which one learns to harmonize his energy with that of all of the universe including the one attacking. The object is restore peace if in no other way then by effectively letting ones opponent know that he will not be able to do you harm.. However, should the same become necessary, not only are there a wide variety of striking techniques in aikido, they can be employed to a devastating effect and outcome.
May it be well with you.|||As someone whose done Aikido for 12 years, Aikido is a great martial art for street self-defense. It is one of few arts that I believe gives the defender an option as to how much damage to inflict on an opponent. If someone at school is getting a little physical, there are techniques that are good for inflicting soreness and discomfort, however if someone throws a punch, the same techniques can be applied to break, dislocate or even destroy a limb.
There is no set kata for multiple attackers, the way it is taught at my dojo has Randori more focused on fluidity and evasion rather than directly attacking multiple people.
Face it, usually when you are confronted with two, three or four people tried to harm you, the best bet is to run away. It is very very difficult to fight more than one opponent without getting injured or hurt. Usually when confronted on the street, you just hand over your wallet or purse. Nothing material is worth your life.|||Aikido is one of the few martial arts that actually has formal training against fighting multiple opponents. It is part of the grading syllabus.
In a real street fight, you won%26#039;t want to end up rolling all over the ground with your enemy. His buddies may be around. You might get cut by stones, and your opponents may not play by the rules; breaking of fingers, eye-gouging, yanking of your eyes.
You probably want to either disarm him fast, smack him hard and make a run for it or just learn to weasel away and run like the wind. You just want to end the fight fast, instead of rumbling and tumbling with him.
Aikido is useful for these purposes. If you wish to train to fight in a ring like some fighter, then you might want to consider other martial arts.|||Nice work. You removed the BJJ and stuck Aikido in here just like the other question.
Aikido is still a traditional style and needs to be modified for street purposes. Like the other answerer described it is a good style because of the way it addresses multiple attackers with evasive footwork. Is it good against one person? well that depends what the situation is. Against a grabbing or lunging type attack you may succeed. Against a knife there%26#039;s no guarantee. A clueless knifer may lunge at you but a skilled one will be extra difficult. You%26#039;re better off finding other options. No attack is the same and no attack can compare to what you practice in the dojo. These are totally different circumstances. Use your brain. |||Very impressive martial art and yes its very effective against more than one person. And along with disarming one with weapon.But it takes many years to master the moves and techniques. So practice faithfully|||aikido tries to disable your opponent without hurting him , why would you give a **** if he%26#039;s trying to mug you.
