Re the first film.
An Aikido guy who does turning kicks? Nah, hardly style vs style. This guy, and uses, some kind of kickboxing skills.
Semi contact? The Aikido guy even purposefully takes a semi contact knee to the head so that he can catch the leg and perfom a takedown..... Imagine doing that in a full contact go?
OK, interesting, but also misleading.
Aikido and Thai both had their chance at the early UFCs. Neither made all that much of an impression.
