Aikido typically has a combined or also negative credibility, particularly in between professionals of MMA as well as BJJ. Having practiced Aikido for greater than a years, and also for several years being a faithful student, in the start I used to misunderstand the reason for this negativity and hatred. Just years after, I understood why this is genuinely occurring, which considerably changed my strategy and understanding of Aikido and also it’s circumstance.

Hi, my name is Rokas, as well as in this Martial Arts Journey video we’ll have a look at one of the reasons behind the unfavorable reputation of Aikido between contemporary battle sports experts.

As we exercise martial arts as well as battle sports, we all have our phases. If fortunate, we after that slowly relocate to a mindful bias, of comprehending why we choose our method, instead of others, and at some point the next action of maturation is being able to identify the problems and truth behind our practice, as well as valuing it for exactly what it is, while respecting other arts.

In my first phase of practicing Aikido, I was told by my instructor that it is the purest martial art of them all, mainly as a result of it’s advanced and also tranquil philosophy. While various other fighting styles were approved in my initial Dojo, there was a somewhat negative view on battle sporting activities, as if they were meant for less “innovative” people, or to place it merely “meatheads” of fighting styles. Seeking out highly to my instructor, and having no experience in combat sporting activities, I believed that to be real, and also while I never placed way too much focus to this idea, component of me was proud to be “above” the “unsophisticated and unclean” individuals and techniques. Knowing that I am “approximately something much better” than they are.

As I proceeded to the next Dojo – a similar kind of mentality in relation to combat sporting activities was really felt, although not spoken as openly. Go across training in combat sports was not recommended just what so ever before, since “it would wreck the understanding of the pure Aikido viewpoint.”, hence I kept staying clear of any type of battle sports methods, continuing to think that Aikido is the most effective, that it is all that is necessary and if I would exercise other, much more battle drivened techniques – my method would certainly endure due to it.

Only when I was currently running my Dojo as well as I satisfied a BJJ specialist who encouraged me to try rolling with him, and also ultimately to train together, after numerous talks I began to see how huge and also amazing the combat sporting activities world is. Talking to him I saw only regard and also inquisitiveness. When I met his health club friends, I had very much the same impression, as well as I was left asking yourself: so where are all these battle sporting activities meatheads that I was outlined? When taking into consideration then, why Aikido was disliked by battle sports specialists, I thought – perhaps it’s since Aikido is not really as practical in the world of dealing with as their techniques.

Worn out of some Aikido people thinking that “Aikido is as well dangerous for MMA”, or that “Aikido people do not go to MMA not due to the fact that it would not function, but since it’s viewpoint of “not battling” prevents them from it”, I went to confirm that Aikido really doesn’t function, by recording the “Aikido vs MMA” video. I was prepared to obtain a black eye and shed some teeth, anticipating the MMA individual to be this ruthless, conceited, disinterested and ill-mannered individual, as I was informed concerning “individuals like him”, that would certainly beat the hell out of me provided the chance to confirm that Aikido does not work.
