    Aikibudo vs. Muaythai Light-contact sparring



    Its in Russian. Anyone here a good Russian translator?

    They start off exchanging strikes, then close. The aikibudo guy eventually gets a hold of the muaythai guys left arm and gets a text-book wrist lock to takedown, but doesn't follow the muaythai guy to the ground for a finishing hold - so muaythai guy gets up quick. Fight could have ended there.

    The muaythai guy strikes his way into a clinch and lands knees and elbows. Aikibudo guy takes most of them - the fight could have ended there too. Eventually, aikibudo guy takes hold of a knee and gets another takedown.

    Good example of a style vs. style demo.

    Open Style Full Contact Tournaments



    Great full-contact style verse style matchups:

    karate vs. taekwondo.
    capoeira vs. karate.
    muaythai vs. gong-fu

    None of these guys are pro's as far as I can tell, but great fights none the less.

    Good stuff Tom, would you happen to have any more vids like that?

    I would love to see them

    im thinking that that last video was just karate open tourny. It seemed like most of the quality fighters were karate practioners and it seemed to be karate rules.

    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.

    is anyone else suspicious that the first video could even be choreographed? the thought occured to me first when the Muay Thai guy tries a kick while the aikido guy is on his knees and the aikido guy takes him down. Unless he was going for an axe kick that was pretty ridiculous looking, and i've never seen a thai fighter use an axe kick.

    the wrist lock takedown looked especially staged as well, and the camera work added to my doubts.

    maybe i'm just overly suspicious.

    I have a suspicion, but did not say so as I was not 100% sure.

    But I surely would NOT be surprised!
