Is aikido effective in fight championships like ufc or any other similar?

Aikido by it self may be effective on some lesser poorly trained fighters but on the top level MMA someone who has aikido skills alone stands no chance. Nowdays all the best fighters cross train in several styles most important of which are boxing, thai-kickboxing, jiu jitsu and wrestling. Sambo and judo training are also done often by many of them.


So to compete in best MMA organizations such as PRIDE, UFC, WFA and so on you have to be a skilled striker and have a good ground game. One style alone is not going to be enough.|||Yes.





I base my conclusion on the fact that Aikido and Brazilian Jiujutsu are extremely similar...





Ever heard of Royce Gracie? That guy has won A LOT of tournaments and his fighting style is Brazilian Jiujutsu





Hence, Aikido should do the trick.|||Anything can be good, depending on how you use it, even defensive techniques. I developed my own style and sent 4guys who tried to mug me to the hospitale. they were not trained, but i had the technique for a month|||Aikido effective in chapionship fighting?i dont think so, i have not seen anyone in UFC with an AKIDO background.|||couple of years ago there was a shortlived local version of ufc in indonesia and the first winner of the heavyweight class was trained in aikido.|||no..to be in ufc you need to be a complete fighter..which means u need to take the best aspects of many types of styles and bring them together..thats why they call it mixed martial arts|||Well I would say no Aiki-do is a defensive art,not an offensive one,therein lies its ultimate weakness|||aikido is a very effective martial art when learned correctly and used with knowledge, it can be used in the chapionship of course, but only good aikido will win in any situation.





I believe any martial art can be effective in UFC championship, it all depends on who uses it.|||only when mixed akido is good for defense but when used for atack its weak if u train in akido keeping going but start another art like mauy thai. also i susgest u do some boxing because its proven that the tend to punch hard then any other people who are in combat sports or martal arts.
