Aikido vs Muay Thai

[Shard]

It isn't full contact but props to the aikido guy.

It was pretty funny seeing the MT guy use _ing_un anti-grappling against the aikidoka - the fatal elbows to the spine jobby.

I don't read Russian, but are you sure that was Aikido ? or are we assuming that because of some of the wrist controls he attempted and the fact that his coaches were wearing hakama ?

There's lots of other japanese-themed MA that have higher grades wearing hakama, at least two of which, (Yoseikan Budo and Shorinji Kempo) teach striking as well as locks and throws, and spar with contact regularly. That 'aikido' guy threw a couple of spinning back kicks, so I think he was more likely from one of those styles.

I realize that it's in a foreign language, but do you all turn your ears off when you watch videos?

THAT WASN'T AIKIDO!

The announcer never even says the word Aikido.

[meng_mao]

I heard him say Aikibudo a lot.

I think the guy in the video is from this club....

But i don't understand anything is said there, can anyone with Russian languaje skills help a bit?

That was a very interesting video.
It might not be pure aikido but it is a least very very close to aikido.
I think it could be aikido because a couple of times he put the boxer on the ground but then he's kind of lost.

On he other hand i've practised some aikido and i'm quite surpised to see the gi guy stay in direct contact line, he dosn't move much.

I'm too lazy to translate it all now, but it's just a demo of aikibudo vs muay thai. Not a real match. This is like what they'd show on the Discovery channel.

Remember Kidz, Aiki(bu)do or whatever do not have competition. (The Tomiki folks are heretic so they are discounted). Therefore this is the most alive video I have seen wrt Aiki-whatver vs whatever MA I have come across over the internet so far.

Getting kotegaeshi to work doesn't count if you're russian. You can show a russian the dumbest move in history, and he'll just practice it till it works.

This is how the search function is used.

You proceed to the upper right hand corner of the screen and click where, amazingly, it says "search". Now you are in the unbelievably cool search function, there you will find two spaces, one is for searching by "key words", the other by "user's name", your choice. Type words relevant to your search, press enter and there you go, nifty results like this:

Isn't it nice to use the search function?

Coincidentally, this is the wrong forum for posting videos. We have a video forum, ya know.

Are you trying to say that aikido has been getting a bad rap, and this is the proof? Please add some commentary to the threads you start.

The clip speaks for itself, it's just sad fighting on both parts, Aiki guy and MT guy both are sloppy. It's funny to watch those amazing splits and all and I loved the flying elbow smashes that touched nothing cause they were telegraphed from a mile off.
Just sad silly crap on both parts
