I watched some aikido and JJ videos and basically both seem interesting to me.
However what REALLY scares me is the injury risk. Especially in aikido.
I mean isn't it totally dangerous when somebody grabs you by the neck and then throws you on the floor?!
What if you can actually injure your neck? How risky is this?
And what if your training partner tries such a throw and does something wrong and then injures your neck?
I mean isn't this totally dangerous?!
I would not even want a doctor to manipulate my neck using force. Some orthopedians do this and I heard that this can cause a stroke if done wrong!
I'm serious, so no stupid comments please.
ps: I watched an aikido video and the instructor was showing techniques with a training partner and he did these techniques with a lot of force! For example he grabbed his partner at thr throat and then pushed him against a wall and you could tell that the partner was having pain and also couldn't breath while he was being pressed against the wall!
Stuff like that would really scare me.
Do you have to allow the instructor to demonstrate techniques using your body? Or can you say I don't want that?
I also worry that since I'm fragile aikido or JJ wouldn't be suitable for me.
I could not even get into this typical sitting position where sit on your bent legs because of my knees.
I cannot bend my knees all the way and then apply pressure.
