Hey, no sweat.I'm right with you on that one, the dancy thingy may be good for beginners understanding the basic movements, but it's no good for competition sport or self defence.Your right though, I shouldn't have been so brash about it, my apologies.

Geeze, if you would have just conveyed yourself as intelligently then as you did now, I wouldn't have been such an ass about it. I'm in no way saying Aikido is a bad martial art, in fact I'm highly interested in it. I just can't stand the people who perform randori as if it were a pathetic dance, with no resistance from the attacker whatsoever and the think it translates to be able to real self defense or fighting ability.

Woah, hold your horses.Fair enough, I was incorrect about Aikido being banned, however I believe (correct me if i'm wrong) that small joint techniques are illegal in UFC, therefore most of the techniques used in Aikido are illegal in UFC. As for me being a "delusional douche bag", I was simply higlighting the fact that it's more effective than people give it credit for, and people who aren't trained to cope with small joint techniques are at risk of injury.So calm down.

You're a moron. UFC never "banned" any type of martial art. Anyone from any style can compete, the same goes for any mixed martial arts organization. You don't see them compete because 98% of the people that would compete would be a delusional douche bag like you that would get their ass handed to them.

yes it woz

No, but like classical jujutsu some of the techniques are so 0-60 that you could break someone's limbs or neck. You wouldn't allow somethign like hijiate-kokyunage the same way you wouldn't allow someone to do a neck breaking technique.

Mezzurchadnezzah (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Indeed, that's why they banned Aikido from UFC you know, the techniques are too effective - too many injuries and fights end too quickly!!!

chushinryoku (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

haha, "dangerous techniques have been eliminated"lmao, my left but cheek, you can easily break bones, joints, limbs, necks using aikido

You are very right.Kendo & akido teaches self dicipline, something very rare nowerdays.
