Aikidoka beats TKDer fighter on tape!

[aikido_is_best]

So, according to this video, this tkd fighter is a black belt and has also been cross training in boxing. The Aikidoka uses his skills to deflect his attacks and utilize his wrist locks.

can't find a video of an aikidoka beating a MT guy. but my point was that if aikido is trained as a wrestler or judoka is trained, than it can be just as effective.

[ChenPengFi]

That is a faulty premise.

That's cos that never happened, and never will.

There is somethings weird about the Taekwondoka:
- or well I'm getting colorblind, but that belt looks more like blue/dark purple than black.
- the level of TKD technique suggest a stripmall McDojo BB
- which Boxing skills? I'm not seeing any...really.


About training Aikido the same way as Judo or Wrestling: do some research on Shodokan and Yoseikan Aikido.

I'm interested to know (from what you see), how could you tell if someone is in a strip mall dojo?

Thank you for telling me about shodokan and yoseikan. these tournaments look like a lot of fun

You know that if you try to block kicks with your hands against someone who knows how to kick, you're going to get your arms broken?

[battlefields]

Check out the YouTube blurb, it has more details about the tkd guy, the broken English makes it a bit difficult but from what I can tell this guy was not a boxer, he was tkd.

The level: if you get your BB in two years, the techniques will be bad.

These are lower rank belts (yellow) in competition:

don't look at the commotion that the punch in the face created, just look at the level of kicking.

see the differance.

Yoseikan Aikido can be trained seperatly from Yoseikan Budo (which is a hybrid art of old-school Aikido, Shotokan Karate and Judo).
Yoseikan Budo is huge in France.
