Aikido Working?

That may be only a single point of data, but in contrast, I have studied the effectiveness of MMA by watching hundreds of UFC fights. I conclude that MMA is effective exactly 50% of the time.

Also, after reading this I was almost certain I had seen this posted on Bullshido before. Sure enough, with a little searching, here it is. It goes more or less like this thread, with a little bit more of the lulz.

I have no issue with that. it is a good move. For the exact purpose of taking things out of peoples hands that dont want them taken out.

I know one incident does not prove that it is viable. i just really like that move for that reason.

Not to be too pedantic, but technically it is effective slightly less than 50% of the time since there are occasional draws, in which cases neither MMA practitioner wins, and so therefore neither one's fighting style is effective.

Well, I guess that just must prove something or not. That fucking robber must be pretty pissed that something that doesn't work messed up his robbery plans.
