correct me if im wrong but theres not really any techniques in aikido that are illegal in say mma rules sparring. if its good enough for you to practice dealing with slow attacks you know are coming and know whats coming then a mma rules or boxing or kick boxing or anything else type of sparring is going to be alot more realistic and closer to a real fight then the dance that you learn in aikido. i mean really have you never asked yourself these questions?Do you understand there is a difference between Fighting, sport application (sparring) and self defense?
Fighting is willingly doing more violence to someone before they can do it to you, Sport is trying to best someone using a predetermined set of techniques and rules, Self defense is simply getting away from danger.
