I did a little Aikido back in my day.

But how the hell are you doing it and claiming to be a Mixed-Martial Artist at the same time?

I don't think Aikido throws are really anything that's effective in the cage or in the ring against another skilled opponent.

Sure they can work against some random untrained average joe, but I highly doubt that many aikido techniques actually work against someone who can strike and/or grapple effectively.

I guess most Ke?po seems to suck, but here in Logan Utah only 1/3 of the Ke?po sucks. The AK Speakman lineage school goes full contact with take downs and ground and has a mma class and the Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo Shihan is tops, but the Bobby Lawrence AK licks it long and deep.

Now Hawaiian Kempo rules! So move to Hawaii.
