White Warlock Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Well then... beginners will obviously have a problem. As to the brown belt, well not all practitioners are qualified to wear the belt they've received. The reason for my above statements is that if you attempted to utilize force, it should have easily be converted to energy being used against you. To have 'difficulty' with someone using force means they have not grasped the fundamentals of aikido.As to whether it would work, picture perfect, of course not. As forms do not directly translate into action in a confrontation, aikido practices as well do not. They exist for the same reasons forms, or katas, do... to ensure you grasp the principles underlying the actions that are repeated, ad nauseum.

NotQuiteDead Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Again, I've never trained in aikido. Just thought I'd make sure that was clear.The only ground techniques I've seen in aikido were the finishing 'pins' that are done after ikkyo/ikkajo etc. and suwari-waza, which are done when both people are on their knees facing eachother. Are there any aikido techniques for escaping pins commonly seen in other grappling styles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaponless Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 There are Aikido techniques for when, or I should say 'if", you end up on your back with the person in the "mount" position. They are actually similar to jiu-jitsu techniques, not exactly, but the same in principle.... but like everything else in Aikido, you are using your opponents force against them. If you're reaching for the stars, don't be satisfied with touching the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotQuiteDead Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I asked weaponless because he seems to think that aikido is the only art that teaches you to go with the opponent's force. It's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goju_boi Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 So Hapkido also teaches you to go with your opponents force? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
