omnifinite Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 Well, Kensai posted a bunch of them a couple days ago. I'll copy them here since he isn't around to go into it... Ki Aikido Yoshinkan Aikido Aikikai Aikido Yosekai Aikido Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido Tomiki Aikido Iwama Aikido Maybe you can type some of those into a search engine or something. 1st Dan HapkidoColored belts in Kempo and Jujitsu
Kensai Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 OK...... THREAD + Aikido = Kensai. Anyway, Aikikai was the basic estabishment of O Sensei, but only really got its name after his 3rd Child (I think) the late Kisshomaru Ueshiba took over. Yoshinkan Aikido was created by Soke Gozo Shioda, his Aikido contains more emphasis on striking and hard resistance. Yosekai Aikido, was created by a guy that I cant remember. He basically joined Karate, Judo and Aikido together. Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido (Ki Aikido), was created by Shushu K Tohei. He puts more emhasis on Ki training with flowing Attacks and Defences. Tomiki Aikido, was created by Kenji Tomiki. after also training under the Great Jigaro Kano, Tomiki saw a need for competition in AIkido. He developed a series of rules and methods of engagement (hand to hand and hand vs knife) to hone Aikidoka skills. Iwama Aikido was created by Sensei Saito from Iwama. I believe that his Aikido is more centralised around weapons training. Hope this helps.
WolverineGuy Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 So, in conclusion, Kensai knows a little bit about aikido? Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
KungFuLuvva Posted April 19, 2003 Author Posted April 19, 2003 so the most combat orientated version is Yoshinkan Aikido ? which one do you think is the best for practical fighting? age:16style:wing chunDon't try to predict the outcome of a fight. just let nature take its course.
Kensai Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 None, Aikido is not about fighting. If thats your goal in Martial arts dont take Aikido.
KungFuLuvva Posted April 19, 2003 Author Posted April 19, 2003 hmmm... i can see that but from what i've seen, aikido has the potential to do a lot of damage in a fight. i thought it could compliment wing chun very well with its stand up wrapping and joint locks or would it take to long to develope? i like how you could contain the person without injuring them, though you may not be able to handle it that way in certain situations. age:16style:wing chunDon't try to predict the outcome of a fight. just let nature take its course.
Kensai Posted April 20, 2003 Posted April 20, 2003 Ofcourse, different situations require different solutions. I do think Aikido would compliment WC very well, infact I was thinking of adding WC to my list of MA. Aikido in a martial sence takes a long time to use. I have no idea really where Aikido will take me and I have been studying it for a year. Just when I think I am understanding something, it changes. I think it best that you get a good grounding in one art, before taking on another.
