Self-Defense Criticism

Why is Aikido absolutely useless?

Aikido is a Japanese martial art that focuses on non-violent self-defense techniques. This article argues that Aikido is not practical in a real-life situation and is therefore useless. It claims that Aikido does not teach realistic techniques for fighting and does not help a person to protect themselves in an actual physical confrontation. Additionally, the techniques taught in Aikido are too slow and do not work in a real-life situation. Furthermore, the article points out that Aikido does not teach how to defend against weapons or multiple attackers. Thus, the article concludes that Aikido is not a practical self-defense system and is ultimately useless.

Martial Arts/Self-Defense

Have you ever seen someone use martial arts in a real fight?

Martial arts are becoming more and more popular and are being used in many different ways. One such way is in real fights. People who have seen someone use martial arts in a real fight often find it to be a very impressive display of skill and technique. Martial arts can be used as a form of self-defense as well as to gain a competitive edge in a fight. It is important to remember, however, that martial arts should only be used as a last resort and that all safety precautions should be taken. With the right training and discipline, martial arts can be a great way to stay safe and protect oneself in a dangerous situation.

Is aikido as hard on your body as judo is?

Aikido and Judo are both martial arts that involve physical contact, but the level of physicality and contact differs significantly between the two. Aikido is a non-aggressive martial art that uses joint locks and throws to subdue an attacker without causing injury. Judo, on the other hand, is a competitive martial art that involves a lot of body contact and throws. Aikido is less strenuous on the body than Judo as it does not involve contesting against an opponent.
