Use attack as your indestructable spiritual strength.
Awareness is the spirit.
Attack is the foundation of thought.
Attack like thunder from the heaven's.
Retreat like dust of the earth.
Its very effective against tackles, and will allow you to dispose the attacker
without going down into the ground.
I don't understand it. Aikido (or its parent Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu) was "born" and tested in Japan at a time when Judo and Sumo background was very common for all martial artist. For me, there's no question that Aikido can and will be able to defend against grapplers, shooters.
The only area Aikido has not really proven itself is in against explosive strikers like Muay Thai. Although, in his autobiography, Gozo Shioda has defeated boxers and karatekas.
Oh, and dont turn this thread into a "why can't Aikido win in the UFC" sort of thread.
