my marine hand to hand combat instructor could not stress enough the importance of aikido in a hostile situation primarily because it is sooo adaptable to any other art and any other weapon, i honestly think its one of the most beautiful arts, mostly because i've seen the more peaceful side of it but then i've also seen the more aggressive and killing intent side of it too, this art can go both ways, i have nothing but respect for O' Sensei, that man was truly years ahead of his time

*The Way of the Warrior has been misunderstood. It is not a means to kill and destroy others. Those who seek to compete and better one another are making a terrible mistake. The real Way of a Warrior is to prevent such slaughter - it is the Art of Peace, the power of love.* ―Morihei Ueshiba

"The Way of the Warrior has been misunderstood." Well it certainly seems to have been misunderstood by Morihei Ueshiba! The purpose of the martial arts is simple - to survive battle and to destroy ones enemy. All this pseudo-spiritual waffle only came about at the end of the Meiji period when the Samurai realised that while their fighting skills had been rendered obsolete on the battlefield by firearms, their training had beneficial effects on a person distinct from turning them into killers. They fostered those aspects of training that turned out "better" human beings as defined by the still militaristic society of the time and people like Kano worked tirelessly to shoehorn it into the education system. In the 21st century, we still have warriors in the military, in the combat sports cage and on doors but few of them have time for spiritual nonsense or ineffective technique.

These Aikido boys will twist you in directions you never thought your body will go. You feel like your joints will explode and your bones will torque into a spiral fracture. The reason their attacking workout partners look like they leap into a roll, making it easy for the master, is because if they don't leap or roll with the technique something will snap, break, or tear if you don't. Aikido is the real thing. It's simplicity is its beauty. No need to hit somebody when you've destroyed their arm joints.

Looking at O’Sensei doing his dance,reminds me of how I learned 31 Jo Kata in my bedroom with just my hands. Been working on Aikido for 10 years. But never really learned the 31 Jo Kata. Was getting ready to get back in class Jan 2021. Then Covid Hit. And I was stuck at home. So just started working the pattern. Wasn’t easy to learn on my own. But finally was able to finish at 31 in the same spot I started. But it was a very weird feeling just doing it with empty hands. Then take it outside with a Jo. And wow. Just so intriguing and beautiful.

Run as fast as you can. But if you have no choice but o defend yourself then you should better have the presence of mind, strength, good reflex, effective technics, speed and also the guts. And also he told me that every martial artist always study their opponent's movements before making a move...

It is a martial art, it was based on a defensive arts of the samurai whenever they are disarmed and facing better armed(e.g. swords) or greater number of foes. It is basically a defensive one, but extremely effective in adept hands.The tumbling part is also defensive in a way that if executed correctly, it minimizes damage taken when a throw by the opponent is inevitable, thus still be able to 'fight' on in better condition.

O Sensei Murehi Ueshiba! Such passionate man! Man who love unity and refuse to carry the burden that comes with harming a man a living thing with feelings. I today was at the dojo in which every other practioner trains. I asked a Tae Kwon Do guy how to block kicks. He showed me but also told me that Aikido is useless. Aikido is not useless tool. It is viewed incorrectly. It is merely a blue print and Ideal how a diskussion should be held or a conversation to had. Nobody is getting seriously hurt for the consequences of their irrational decisions. There only such a pain that shows you that you assumed wrong but that this is nothing wrong. But instead it shows you to think about yourself and maybe question your morals. It shows you that it is okay to make mistakes. It shows you that forgiveness can be learned through hard dedication and belief. Aikido fully mastered can take out a fully skilled MMA fighter, if the MMA fighter is filled with bad intentions to willingly inflict pain on him so have unrightly gain happiness from him. If there is a valid reasons that requires physicallity.

If you want to see how Aikido is applied in combat situations, look for Steven Seagal training Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida in their fights for UFC Middle Weight Championship and Light Heavy Weight Championship bouts this year. Seagal teaches both fighters the concept of "irimi" with the follow up "atemi". Aikido demos are not fights; they demostrate the Aiki principle using martial forms; the principle of Harmonisation, and peaceful resolution.
