Rokas is willing to take on Steven Seagal, which means props in my book. (Isn't Seagal an honorary Russian now?)
You're gonna have major love for Rokas after you watch this video. Forget the MMA one.

He's got solid wristlocks I am told.

Just saw this and thought id share. Note this is an outdoor mma style event in russia, the aikido 'master' is probably a black belt (master being a generic term the media loosly use). The aikidoka's opponent just seems like a bar fighter/pub brawler type of guy.

Takeaway:
Lots of good positive feedback from the MMA community, lots of negative 'you suck' feedback from traditional Aikido crowd (though some groups were positive).
I like this kid. I'm going to follow him on youtube for a bit. Might as well since his videos keep popping up on my home page anyway.Originally posted by BJMills View PostSo this follow up video popped up in my YouTube feed, probably since I watched the first one.
I watched a few minutes of it, mildly interesting, but not enough to get through the whole thing.

Leave it to an Aikidoka to turn five minutes of fighting into more than an hour of talking.
I wonder if this guy reads Bullshido:

Oh yeah, I was going to follow the aikido guy and promptly forgot all about it. Typical.
I'm not really all that interested in the idea of applied aikido- it's called Judo, no need to rehash, but the 'come to Jesus moments some of these people have when they actually try to practice what they preach, pure gold.
