What? I think you're misunderstanding me.

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.

By saying that he stated that jiu-jitsu techniques don't use the opponents force against them, and it sounded like he thinks aikido is unique in that it doesn't fight force with force. It's not- even in wrestling (a style that is often thought of a contest of strength by people who know nothing about it) you use the opponent's force against him whenever possible. Using the opponent's force against them is found in a lot of styles and doesn't make aikido unique.

whats with all you guys debating about aikido??

aikido is almost the same as judo and JJ.

I know little of JJ but i was told that judo tips people off balance.

aikido simply manipulates the attackers joints if not using their own strength against themself.

aikido is easy once you master it.

A difference of training methodology more than anything

If it works, use it!

If not, throw it out!
