Hi guys
New to the forum and first of all my apologies in advance for any mistake on forum rules
Trained hard in aikido for 4 years in the early 2000s (a somewhat hardened classic style), whatever.
A few months ago started BJJ classes. While sparring, somehow (and mostly instictively) managed to successfuly apply some aikido techiques like:
- koshi nage, both from a low position (standing on knees), then getting to the mount.
- ikkyo, applied to legs in order to pass the guard, turning the back of my partner upwards and getting to rear choke. Also applied to arms from mount, getting similar result, you get the picture.
- few other techinques to free my wrists, and so on.
In short, I learn and train BJJ, apply BJJ techniques, but found out some aikido techniques came handy.
Whats your advise for a newbe, should i forget and throw away all the aikido stuff, or keep to my advantage when sparring?
Thanks in advance for your advise!
