Yeah, don't label me, you discriminator you!


Aikido and Taekwondo and Karate and Ninjitsu are awesome arts. They just have VERY little practical self defense value.

take a look at :

Christian Tissier, 7th dan

Kazuo Chiba, 8th dan - (the 'wake up' one)

Masatomi Ikeda, 7th dan - some of this stuff aint bad.

Morihito Saito, 9th dan - very good artist - all training mpegs though.

There are alot of 'hippy' style stuff too, which is just funny!!

The problem is that these are demonstrations of specific techniques not fight situations, But there are power in those throws.

you may comment on the attacks - but once the principle of the technique is learned it can be applied to nearly any attack!

If you want to see an aikido esque style in unrehersed attacks. checkout -
