tufrthanu Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Yes aikido is a grappling art. Basically any art standing or on the ground that uses grabbing as a method of fighting is considered a grappling art. These arts include but are not limited to: Aikido, Hapkido, Jujitsu, Aiki-Jujutsu, Hwa Rang Do, Kuk Sool Won, and a couple of chinese arts...I can't recall if it was Shuai Chou or Chuan Fa.

jarrettmeyer Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 To further the complicate tufrthanu's response, our style of Goju uses lots of grabs, locks, and throws. Nearly every kata includes grabs as part of its bunkai. In class, we spend far more time working joint locks and throws than strikes.With that information, would you consider Goju a grappling art?

tufrthanu Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Oh yeah I forgot alot of various styles of karate...be they japanese, korean or okinawan use grapples as part of their system. However, I think it comes down to which one takes precedence. If it's 50/50 it could be either. 60/40 grappling I would classify as a grappling art. 40/60 grappling I would classify as a striking art. But obviously they have a considerable amount of each type.

UseoForce Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 A rose by any other name...Many aikido techniques are very similar to those I use in hapkido because they both have the same base: Jiu-jitsu. So yes, I guess I'd consider it a grappling art. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJS Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 sure, grappling dosent have to take place on the ground. various throws, certain locks or chokes, tie up etc are all standing techniques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimc Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 A rose by any other name...Many aikido techniques are very similar to those I use in hapkido because they both have the same base: Jiu-jitsu. So yes, I guess I'd consider it a grappling art.Yes there should be a big similarity becuase they both learnt from the same master of Daito-Ryu - Takeda Sokaku.O Sensei learnt many other styles to make Aikido. http://jedimc.tripod.com/ma.html - what MA do you do, this is my poll.
