ps1 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn59zha-uAQ&mode=related&search=Check out this video. It's called Aikido vs. Kickboxing. It's clearly not. It's more Aikido vs. Karate. I'm not saying this guy isn't good. But I have trouble digesting some of these techniques. What do you think?

cross Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Interesting demo, techniques looked pretty cool. Chances of those things working against someone with solid striking experience, probably fairly limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps1 Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 That's my general opinion also. Fun to watch, but for a "this style vs. that style" type of thing, it's just too scripted.

Fun to watch, but for a "this style vs. that style" type of thing, it's just too scripted.Definetly, I dont think the title of "aikido vs. kickboxing" is really appropriate for that clip considering it didnt really look like a competition, more a demostration of aikido techniques and how they might be applied against various non-aikido attacks.

Patrick Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Yeah, they just label it that way so that people will start threads on internet communities and kill each other over it.

ps1 Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYvDZOYZpUQ&mode=related&search=How bout this one. I say I don't care who you are or what style you study. When this many guys come after you, fighting is not the best option! Run, pray, and maybe you come out alive. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

NightOwl Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 a lot of people are claiming that the video actually shows systema...which is kind of like crossing dim-mak with aikido and taking it out to its extreame Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.~Theodore Roosevelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 It seems very choreographed to me.Some of the moves do look very elaborate. They look nice, and would be fun to learn. What bothers me, though, is that the defensive movements are done only against one technique; there are no combination movements by the attacker.I don't know how well that low kick defense would work against a more committed kick. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this many guys come after you, fighting is not the best option! Run, pray, and maybe you come out alive.I don't buy into that one at all. The pace would be a LOT faster, and a lot less scripted, probably with a lot more weapons. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
