It takes a long time to get the hang of it.|||It can be very effective if used properly. Consistent training is also very important. Guys that come in to the dojo only once in a while have a lot of difficulty acquiring the skills. Once you get the choregraphed stuff down, you can start using your knowledge for more concrete situations. At higher levels, the choregraphy makes place for more freestyle training and aikidoka begin to mix and match. So don%26#039;t sweat it if you feel all you%26#039;re learning is repetitious - that%26#039;s how you learn in the first stages, and the great ones practice the basics; Your tenkan and nikios can always be improved. I like to practice some of these outside the dojo as well; this will free your mind from having to concentrate on them when doing techniques, so that you can focus on stuff that is giving you more difficulty.
Finally, don%26#039;t forget the code: Aikido is not to be used outside the dojo unless a person (including yourself) is in danger. If you are attacked, or somebody else is attacked, you put an end to the situation as quickly as possible, and without violence at all if possible. But if you train continuously and put the proper effort into it, your training will kick in when the time comes.
As for other martial artists... Well, if you adhere by the code, those that are disciplined enough to get really good are very unlikely to attack you, because they have shown the character to get where they are. Those who have some skills but still hang on to their bullying ways are only slightly better equiped than your average street thug. There are a few exceptions to this general rule, of course - The Mike Tyson type who has both ability and unpredictability, but there are not many of those people around, fortunately. If you ever do get in one of those situations, you can only do your best and remember that what you%26#039;re trying to do is put an end to the situation, not necessarily %26quot;win%26quot; it. Also, remember the Bushido Code: When we must die, we must die. That may be a dramatic way to put it, but it basically means you shouldn%26#039;t get into a situation unless you%26#039;re prepared to accept all that could happen.
You can%26#039;t win them all, but you should strive to cultivate courage, humility and nobility.|||It is one of the best, no karate/martial arts is like it seems in the movies.
Aikido is one of the oldest formed and one of the most known forms.
Try it, it cant make matters worse.|||depends on how advanced you are|||Not so much the art as the person training, but let me say, for me Aikido is a very important part of my training. It, without doubt, is effective and very useful in not only real life combat but in cage combat as well.|||Aikido is very effective as a martial art but can take a while to acquire the skills. Take a look at some of the top Aikido masters in action and you will see how effective it can be.
Aikido is an %26quot;Internal%26quot; or %26quot;soft%26quot; art, which means that rather than using your own strength, you are using your skill and your opponent%26#039;s strength against them. This makes it ideal for people who are not built like bodybuilders and do not want to be. It also means that to the unskilled eye very little appears to be happening, and opponents seem to be throwing themselves around, which they are because the alternative, if they don%26#039;t yield, is broken limbs.
A real Aikido master will make the art look effortless and that is the true Art.
.
As with anything the more effort you put into it, the more you will get out, but effort does not mean strength or power, whilever you are thinking in terms of force and strength you will not progress with Aikido.
It%26#039;s certainly not the easiest Art to master - none of the Internal Arts are - but it is one of the most rewarding.|||aikido is a difficult art to master. It takes the average person quite a few years to really be able to effectively use the techniques they learn. However the art is very effective and can be used with devastating effects. The first and most important thing to learn in aikido is non resistance. Whatever comes your way, you must get out of it%26#039;s way and then treat the threat from a safe angle. It%26#039;s true that the aikido taught in class often consists of elaborate and unrealistic techniques but one must learn to to things the long way round if one is to understand how to execute them as an effective short technique. You have to understand what%26#039;s going on with the oponents momentum and use that to your advantage. Once you get to understand that you can do whatever you feel like. Instead of striking Aikido teaches you to break bones, dislocate members and even kill without too much effort. It is very much based on the bujutsu techniques of the Samurai and those boys weren%26#039;t out to give each other a black eye or a ko. They harmed or killed. However the true lesson in aikido as in most martial arts is to strive for peace and nothing else.|||bottom line,if the guy has a high skill level then Aikido is very effective,this applys to any martial art .it,s the guys experience and skill level that is the critical factor.|||Aikido is very effective in a street fight and against other martial artsis. I have had to use it many times. I have yet to find another martial art style that can come close to it. And no it isnt hard to get the hang of it is very easy to learn. I teach Shinbu Aikido and it consist of back falls/breakfalls, forward rolls flips/thorws, joint locks,chokes,take downs,and grappling,weapons are the knife, jo-staff, and the katana sword . from Gokyu = white belt to Shodan = 1st degree black belt you will know just over 200 techniques. and you can usually get your 1st black belt in under 2 years|||aikido shows you how to deffend from a robber with a knife, gun, etc... took a class once|||would you mess with Steven Segel?|||aiki-jitsu has aikido mixed with ju-jitsu its perfect.|||It is as effective as a person can be fighting a stand up only fight. It is a good stand up style, with no ground skills. In a real fight, well if the guy your fighting is street only he has problems, but if he took high school wrestling he is probably gonna take you down and hurt you.
The sword path in AiKiDo is sound, the style has no Forms or Katas.
Steven Seagul swears by it, and holds a 7th degree black.
In the UFC it failed fast along with alot of styles. It is great for learning falls, etc and hand / wrist manipulations.
But here again it relys on no resistance as an approach to training.
It can be very dangerous if learnt properly.|||wouldn%26#039;t consider it...it%26#039;s just that ur body doesn%26#039;t exert that much forcer therefore your body doesn%26#039;t develop, u just learn a couple of moves thats all....but what happens if u get caught unprepared? situations exampled by the sensei(sortof aikido teacher) are all set up and stuff....that perp won%26#039;t pose for you he%26#039;ll immediately kick the sh!t outta you....
i suggest jiu jitsu or muay thai...more of the physical stuff so u%26#039;ll get to stretch sum of ur muscles...and the poor lad won%26#039;t even need to pose and sh!t, u can immediately kick his *** in any friggin position|||It takes a long time to learn any of the %26#039;Aiki%26#039; styles of Jiu-Jitsu.
But Aikido is a complete martial art for the street. Again it depends on where you go to learn it.
Aikido teaches weapons defense, weapons usage, and multiple attack scenarios.|||Hey buddy!
Look it is like this. If you master it, than you are a step ahead. The problem with all of the arts is that they are not complete. What I mean by that, is they focus only on either standing and fighting or on the ground and fighting.
If you find a really good mix martial arts, you will learn both ground combatives as well as standing and striking. It really is a preference, but to me it makes sense if you are looking at it from a fighting point of view. I say that because most fights end up on the ground. A good fighter knows what to do in both situations. It makes you a very well rounded fighter. If you watch what happens, a considerable amount of people who get their black belts seek other styles. They do this, because what they just learned is lacking some of the things that they are looking for.
I hope that this helps you. Go with what your heart tells you to do. You know what you are looking for. You may not be looking for standing and ground combatives. You may just be looking for a standing combative. So go with what you feel is right.
Good luck buddy!|||If you know how to use it properly, yes, it is very effective. But Aikido does not teach us to retreat, however. We either move forward or sideways. All living things%26#039; reaction is to move back. Aikido wants us to resist that. Try looking at every technique. Does any of them requires retreating? I don%26#039;t think so. When we step forward, the attack stops, unlike when we step back. That%26#039;s when we apply the technique. Keeping the kamme (ready stance), is also very important in combat. No matter how much strength the opponent uses, he or she will find themselves being challenged by their own strength. To learn more, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aikido|||depends on how realistically you trained it.
If your aikido dojo is like the average one where they don%26#039;t train with resistance and the ukes practically throw themselves, then it will be about as much use to you as your skills at pac-man in a real situation, possibly worse, because it could give you an expectation of your opponent to act one way when it doesn%26#039;t happen you are in a more dangerous situation.
If you trained realistically, with fully-resisting opponents, then there are certainly techniques you can make work.|||It can be effective, but it does take a while to get the hang of it. When you do, you%26#039;ll find it can be effective...and painful.|||I would say extremely effective, check out this clip:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=l6Y3WZuUtVo|||Generally, street situations don%26#039;t occur against other martial artists. Aikido though, is quite effective against groups of untrained thugs or overextend.|||Its quite effective for self defence, as with all martial arts the main benefit is the confidence you gain.
