What do you think of Aikido put up aginst Karate? .................................................. Aikido on it's own is not so great . It is a good complimentary art though. It would be a great addition to any art. Karate VS. Aikido, I think that even a Shotokanka would beat a simularly trained Aikidoka. Akido is very limited to defending against hand strikes, but not much else. Aikijutsu on the other hand does not mess around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On it's own I do not think it would take you far in a fight especially if the attcker can kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karate_woman Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I think it all depends on what you are being attacked with, and, of course, the skill of the practitioner. I'm a karate and not not an aikido practitioner, but I have a respect for all of the martial arts. Aikido demonstrations can be rather impressive in showing the effectiveness of the techniques The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. -Lao-Tse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kensai Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Aikido has 2 basic counters to kicks. Its a sort of one size fits all thing. You either Irimi (enter) or tenkan (turn/side step). Its worked with some of my WC mates. I have an amazing book, got it today actually "Aikido and the Competitve egde", it has counters to kicks in it. Really amazing read.

GhOsCeLL Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I take Tiger Schulmann's Karate, which is a combination of Karate, Aikido, and Jujitsu. I love TSK, so i guess Karate and Aikido are both great fighting styles. "Osu!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 In my opinion, Aikido is a very hard Art to learn to use as student co-operate alot in a Dojo and their is no sparring. So unless it's an Aikido Master, the Karateka will probably win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBN Doug Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Aikido has 2 basic counters to kicks. Its a sort of one size fits all thing. You either Irimi (enter) or tenkan (turn/side step). I assume you mean two types of footwork for the counter? Simply because we learn 3 defenses per kick at the under belt level. I would have thought pure Akido would have a lot more.
