Sam Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 How i read it is that he teaches it, but not necessarily for use in a military way.... or have i read it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimc Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 then why is he teaching it in the military, maybe its like a confidence thing or something. http://jedimc.tripod.com/ma.html - what MA do you do, this is my poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 no it seems he was an instructor - and now is teaching it within the military -but it doesnt make mentino of a military USE for it.... that was my point - just cant tell if they're using it as a hobby for off time, or actual trainnig.

Muaythaiboxer Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 acctually i think aikido takes far to long to become proficient in to make it applicable to the police or military at lest this was the vibe i got from it suring my short training experience.

sdargie Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 acctually i think aikido takes far to long to become proficient in to make it applicable to the police or military at lest this was the vibe i got from it suring my short training experience.It doesn't too long to have a very basic understanding of some key techniques, but hopefully the person training will be a police officer for a long time and will continue to train for a long time. Besides, the idea of mirroring and not adding to the attack are definetly applicable to reducing police brutality. Isn't that worth sticking around? O Sensei said that everyone has a defined sphere of strength and if you can get them outside that sphere then their strength will disappear. I say, EXPAND YOUR SPHERE!

Muaythaiboxer Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 but the idea in the army is to make the person a potent killer as fast as possible and lets face it aikido really is not for killing at the lower levals Fist visible Strike invisible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
