[You.are.boring.me.now]

Aikido works when your opponent has no idea what you are doing.

[EPmentalist]

It's great if your opponent agrees not to punch you ahead of time

[apetrila]

The narrator knows nothing of fighting.

[angelviloria]

This video just reinforced my skepticism of Aikido.

I did Tomiki Aikido (a super competitive style)for 8 years in the UK and when I started Jiu Jitsu I got smoked during sparring over and over again. It was humiliating. I put Aikido aside (and my ego)and trained hard In Jiu Jitsu and became an all round better fighter. Aikido is a very high art form and follows the path of Bushido closely in mind, body and spiritual principal but if you want an all round self defence/attack martial art I believe Jiu Jitsu is the better way to go. MMA like it or not changed the face of fighting arts and the best of those fighters come from Jiu Jitsu. As for Steven Seagal he is just a really terrible actor and an ego driven narcissist.

The only Marshall arts Steven Seagull knows is Bullshito.😂

In a grappling context, you have the opportunity to pull off joint locks. But when your opponent is actively resisting via boxing or kicking, You're not likely to be able to employ any aikido techniques. So at best, aikido is supplementary.

From South Korea, The stronger a martial art is in a demonstration, the weaker it is in a real fight

I'm a fan of martial arts but some of these videos are misleading when it just shows training and dojo practice fighting, and saying "don't mess with Aikido Master" or Kung Fu/Shaolin Master, it actually show's one small clip of an Aikido fighter against a MMA fighter. Martial artists rarely win in real fights.

[jasonroberts]

Segal has never had a fight in his life, everything he does is an act

[manolo]

Aikido works when you know what your opponent will exactly do next

[Markus]

To fight an Aikido master, never close or grab. Jab to the face & retreat. Never run at an aikido or judo player.

[Quickandslick]

I think the term MIXED martial arts speaks volumes. Meaning, its a mixture of multiple types of martial arts. If a person combines the strengths of multiple types of martial arts including that of akido, and goes against someone who specializes in only one particular style it only makes sense he would come out on top since he has removed the weakest parts of any particular style and replaced it with the stronger elements of another.

[RoyAmazonas]

This video is total crap. No MMA fighter grabs somebody's shirt like in the video. Also, no experienced street fighter puts his or her arm out, so one can just grab it. Many examples in the video show, that the aggressor is not really attacking. A real fighter would never attack with a stick from just top to bottom. In addition, a real MMA does not just stand still watching what the defender does with the arm. A MMA fighter would immediately start punching. This changes the fight dynamic dramatically. There are dozens of genuine videos filming equally trained Aikido and MMA experts. Aikido always loses. Martial Art is an Art and should be respected as such. But it is not the most effective in a real fight if the other person is a MMA, Krav Maga or Street Fighter. This video ist just wrong.

[Johnagibby]

Aikido is not a competitive martial art, it’s a practical one. It’s meant to quickly deescalate combat in a real life situation, not win a match.

[ArduinoDavid]

I agree with your statement…Ueshiba before creating Aikido was an expert in bone breaking jujitsu…

[Naestrith]

Aikido isn't meant to be used in competition, hence the fact that there's no competition in it. It's about learning to link your mind and your body, whatever the kind of body you have. And it's by using your mind that you make the fight happen as you want it to be.
And I'm not speaking spritually mubmo-jumbo, "believing in your victory to make it true" kind of bullshit, no I'm speaking strategy.
Faking an opening there in order to provoke an attack which you know you can use to do a technique to subdue the partner/adversary.
It's like writing a sentence or, as I like to say, playing music, one word or note leads to another that leads to another, that leads to the end.
But yeah it may not work all the time, moreover against overtrained athletes who know what's going to happen, but that doesn't mean it's bad or useless. A plane can crash, it doesn't mean every planes are a failure.
To me, aikido is a formidable experience but I don't intend to use it in a fight, because I don't intend to fight.

The original masters who devoted themselves to learning and teaching Morihei Ueshiba's Aikido back in the day were already experts in jujutsu and/or judo. On the contrary most people today who take up aikido have never had any exposure to any martial arts, certainly none that involve getting physically hurt so it is no wonder aikido fails them. It was never meant to be a "complete" martial art - no martial art is - but more of a supplement to other martial arts. In fact, its principles are quite sound; it's just in the implementation is where it fails because of the way it is taught and because it has been watered down over time to fit in with Ueshiba’s philosophy of non-violence. Steven Seagal's Tenshin "Aikido" is a style (or rather approach) that is more true to the original aiki jujutsu from which it was derived. This style is much more direct and certainly more aggressive (some would say brutal) than most other styles, which is contrary to aikido philosophy. In any case, Aikido "works" for Steven Seagal because he is 6'5" and 210 lb. When you are that big, you don't really need martial arts, do you.

I actually did aikido in college for 3 years, it's a good training for balance and being able to move your opponent. BUT Judo or BJJ or kickboxing, etc. Basically everything is just better for FIGHTING someone. AIKIDO is useless in the real world street fight, in my experience. I did Krav maga for a few years too...

[arvingascarfamily]

Aikido works when your opponents agrees with you haha
