Sunyata Aikido - Martial Arts in Norway

IT takes a long time to master, and it's more of a way of life / philosophy than anything else.

But it's a very destructive martial art. It's for life and death situations. It's specifically tailors to defend against an attacker who has a weapon such as a knife or sword. The training videos show people being thrown around, and it might look silly - but it's the only way to safely train when you are putting that much force into someone's arm/hand/etc.

Someone who isn't expecting it will try to resist or fight the movement and that's when you get a broken arm or dislocated shoulder.

It's a very defensive art. There are many practical parts to it, and several of the techniques you can't really use in something like an MMA match because they are designed to maim or kill. Eye gouging, small joint dislocation or breakage, use of weapons and such are all parts of Aikido.

You don't see much Aikido in things like the UFC for that very reason - it's a way of life first, and second it's really life and death sort of stuff - much like Krav Magat it's all about wartime, kill the other guy or he kills you sort of situations.

Can someone tell me the name of the background song?

Does Aikido works just good as Karate in reality

Try it.

i'll kick this old bags ass anytime i train in mma aikido is wack mma is the S**t ....

This guy is extremly good at what he does.

Also it show's that you dont need to punch to defend yourself.

He would have heard of it, but I doubt that he could execute a single technique...

dont flatter yourself...

I'm glad you spelled the name right

go S**k an aikido dick....

If you can't even write the name right you ain't got nothing to say in this discussion are you? and that video "GrandMaster of Sum-Ting vs. MMA Fighter" is no aikdio fighter, neither of them

for one move of course ^^

i've practiced aikido for 3 weeks now, and believe me it's not as simple as it looks like, you have to practice over and over until it becomes a reflex, and that takes a long while, mostly 1 year

You are right.
Aikido derives mainly from the martial art of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, but began to diverge from it in the late 1920s, partly due to Ueshiba's involvement with the Ōmoto-kyō religion. Aikido is found all over the world in a number of styles, with a broad range of interpretation and emphasis. However, they all share techniques learned from Ueshiba and a caring for the well-being of the attacker.

I think if you believe this Martial art is about winning fights then you are not on the right track in the first place.

ok do me a favor and check this video out do a search on this video i found and it shows a very known akito master getting his asss kicked and am talkin about a guy that never lost a fight in his life he had 100-0 wins b4 this fight "GrandMaster of Sum-Ting vs. MMA Fighter" get back to me and tell me what u think :)...

aikido is dervied from jujitsu. jujitsu is more ancient.

Aikido was derived from Aiki Ju Jitsu. Judo also stems from Ju Jitsu.

Er en gjeng med Steven Segals

Its nothing to do with 'chi' power, its to do with body mechanics. An MMA fighter would probably do better via points in a tourney but wouldn't easily defeat a top Aikido exponant in an out an out. Aikido utilises your opponants motion against you. The more power you put into a punch the more damage the Aikido opponant can do to you in return. Jujitsu is dervied from Aikido and we all know how well the Gracey brothers have done.

yes but an MMA fighter could already know aikido along with several other types of martial arts...

lol well he better be a sharp knife thrower because when he runs out of knifes he gonna get the only wippin lol...

thank you but these fools in this site are arguing with me that an akito fighter would beat an mma fighter with his chi power or what ever they call that crap try telling them dont tell me i allready know what mma stand for am a fan.....
