We are talking about a round kick right?

Sorry front kicks.

Yeah sort of? there is a trick to dropping people with them.

No sir, I wasn't

 

[drop bear]

No sir, I wasn't

My japanese terminology isn't very good.

Front kick right?

 

[Kung Fu Wang]

Yeah. You guys have some mystical super hard to explain Aiki.

I just call it good timing.

Is Aiki as simple as "apply force in one direction, suddenly reverse the direction"? All wrestling art use that principle.

 

[drop bear]

As for sparring or testing or experimenting with an aikidoka... Well, in another thread I saw a YouTube link of someone supposedly using Aikido to fight an MMA guy and completely failing.... So everyone's thoughts are probably "well, Aikido is useless against the MMA guy", but....the fact of the matter is that the aikidoka is lousy in his Aikido. In the whole video his posture is bad, his movements very far away from the Aikido way of moving and, to make matters worse, he is not trying a single Aikido technique, anything!! He looks like he is going for his legs or doing other lousy, monkey mumbo jumbo and he is claiming to be doing aikido.
The guy is a bloody joke! He is, not the art! And that's not bad, nobody is perfect but you don't post a video on YouTube demonstrating your incompetence and blame it on the art.

And Lets just call this one while we are here.

This was the guys training history.

He put the work rate in. There was something wrong with his system.

Yes he has moved on a bit has got a bit disillusioned and has said so but what he is saying essentially is correct

He came from what I have seen of him and his techs etc the Iwama style ...might be wrong though

yeah I guess so

He started aplying scientific method to his martial art. And martial arts tend to fall apart when that happens. It happens to a lot of guys when they either fight or start a sport. Happened to me.

It happens when you go from pads and drills to sparring.

It happens when you go from sparring to a fight.

Which is why people get mashed in sparring for stupid reasons. For example the other guy just might be really tough. And If you don't factor that in your ten years of technique gets overcome.

Ok

If it totally blind encounter as it were then it don't assume don't expect and don't get drawn look at the here the now and what he is giving not what he might or might not go with what he does

 

[Kung Fu Wang]

In CMA, that's called "lead your opponent into the emptiness".

Your opponent shoots at your leading leg. You pull your leading leg back and your opponent kisses the dirt.

That is a different concept to just having a tool box of reliable methods based on real world factors.

People train what they would like to happen. (people like to be comfortable)

And not what actually does happen.

Like street punch argument. Where if your technique doesn't actually work anywhere in training. It will still probably work in the street.

That way you can continue to be justified in your badassery without ever having to be a bad ***.

And this happens a bit if someone say takes up kickboxing from a TMA background.

You have crisper better technique than gumby who has been training 6 months. But 30 seconds in you are done and getting your head kicked in because you never trained your will game.
