Also LOL @ the semi-mythical .01% of Judo schools that teach wrist locks, leg locks, neck cranks. That's such a chun argument!

P.S. If you watch some of their other videos, sometimes they do pull off some pretty good wristlocks while sparring; no soaring ukes we've grown accustomed to expect from Aikido, but a lot better than in this video nonetheless (but hey, it's a yellow and a green sparring).

We're almost back around to 'solid Judo base + good Aikido training = awesome' again, aren't we (a-la Kenshiro Abbe)?

I can show you videos of those after a 3 second youtube search. Can a chunner do the same? Although I actually agree with your point. I'd take a sparring aikidoka's word over a judoka's word on anything wrist lock related.

Speaking of wrist locks does anyone know if Small Circle does any form of randori?

I dunno about that but I do know that the man in this video (about 5 minutes in) who attempts and fails a no touch knockout on the small scientist is Leon Jay the current head of the style

YouTube - George Dillman - National Geographic Channel

Lindz explain to me exactly, why you've posted a Dillman video in a thread about aikido.

I'm starting to get the vibe that you're a troll and if that's the case I'm going to drop the ban hammer on your account - then break out the BBQ once more.

Explain the logic behind your last post please

Responding to the spirit of goodlun's post rather than the letter of it. He asked if small circle spars. I assumed he's wondering if they're worth training with. In that video you have the head of small circle doing woo woo bullshit which suggest they're not worth training with.
