I saw this the other day, but the 'left' brain was just white space with text. I thought it was kind of stupid.

@sambo It's because Aikido brings about complete spiritual harmony and enlightenment. But seriously, I enjoy talking about the martial arts. I don't think there is anything wrong with the cuddly fluffy Aikido dojos, because it still develops centering and Tai-sabaki. I think what is worse are the instructors who teach suicidal "self-defense" garbage, martial arts dojos for children, and martial arts dojos that sell belts/weapons/trophies - some even require training contracts! The arts have a bad rep because of all the bullshit out there.

Lemme drop my 45 cents in the bucket and talk to both of you about sparring. Sparring is good/teaches good skills, but it does a lot of bad, too. If you are sparring to practice your timing, your deception, your flow, that is good. If you are just tagging each other for the sake of tagging each other, then you are wasting your time. I study shorin-ryu in conjunction with aikido, and for most of my time in the karate dojo, we do not spar. My friends and I spar before and after each session, but we spend most of the time during the session working on forms, techniques, stances. So, as far as sparring making you a good fighter, it depends on how you spar. Punching the other guy in the face with quick jabs will not save your life, but dropping your weight on a punch to his intestines just might. Maybe. So a good technique to practice sparring would be tagging him in the face and then dropping a fist into pelvic bone in one fluid move, while avoiding his hands and feet. Sparring is a useful tool, but it is not the goal, and that is important to remember. A person can be a good sparrer but a bad fighter. When it comes to self-defense, kata is king. Why duke it out with the guy when you can just give him a good sucker-punch balls-kick throat-grab elbow-to-the-face? But it comes back around again, because the only way to learn to spook somebody in order get in close enough to do all that is to spar. I dunno. As far as the kool-aid thing, we all drink our own kool-aid, constantly. I am a white kid from florida who puts on pajamas twice a week to go roll around on the floor, punch the air, and say japanese words all in the name of the abstract idea of some kind of path or way.

That's right, which is why I'm gonna make it a point to never be in that situation.

Seagal is 9th dan, but sucks at Aikido by virtue of the fact that he is 6'12" and weighs 400lb. Aikido is quite obviously the coolest martial art, but. . . Most aikido practitioners could not throw strike that would harm anything larger than fly. Go to youtube and you can see bad Aikido all day. Aikido is criticized by a lot of the competitive folks, like the Jiujitsu folks, or the strikers, like the karate folks, but they merely fail to grasp the idea that Aikido is a martial art and not a fighting style. Aikido will not make you a good fighter. At all. Ever. In fact, it could even make you a bad fighter, unless you use what you have learned correctly. What Aikido will do is teach you to use your weight, to fall and get back up, to keep the other guy off balance. That is, if you can learn to relax and get out of your own way. Momentum-redirecting is kind of what it seems like, but it's really about dodging, hitting the other guy when he hits you, getting the other guy off balance, and then you either put him in a nasty joint lock or off-balance him some more and then throw him.

of course. Because momentum is conserved.
