I think the demonstrations of Real Aikido are quite good. I've seen some arts that are just plain laughable, wing chun is the most ridiculous I've come across and gets laughed at by most MMA guys as well. Especially with their talk about wing chun being so lethal.
There's more throws using momentum, especially from the hips. Some of this influence is from Judo and Jujitsu nicely blended in.
Then how do you know its an improvement? And why is all previous Aikido equal? And why should something that doesn't adhere to the concepts of Aikido be considered Aikido and not some new Western martial art? If what you meant is it's an improvement on the Aikido clips you watched on youtube, that is your subjective opinion as a viewer. That doesn't mean in the real world it improves upon Aikido. I'd still fancy a competitive Shodokan player against any of the guys in the clips that have been on here so far.
Which throws and how are they using that momentum? How does the use of the hips differ between "normal" Aikido? To be frank you sound utterly clueless.
I think it's you who haven't got a clue! Hip throws are a lot more efficient than relying on complacent joint locks. Judo is an art that is used by a lot of MMA fighters because of its efficiency.
How are the hips used in Aikido? When and where are they used? How does this Aikido differ from "normal" Aikido?
Marcelo Garcia won the 2005 ADCC final with a wrist lock. His opponent was Pablo Popovitch, a multiple time world no-gi champion and 2009 ADCC champion. Additionally, joint locks feature all the time in MMA. Armbars and kimuras are some of the most popular submissions in MMA. In competitive Aikido, arms locks and a standing version of the kimura are both allowed. I've seen a lot more MMA matches being won by armbar or Kimura than I have with hip throws. Not to say hip throws aren't useful, I'm just pointing out you maybe haven't articulated your point (whatever that is) very well so far IMO.
Define "come across" Allow me to assist you with your definition "zero actual experience in but watchwd videos and listened to the peanut gallery"
Compliant is the word, not complacent Here is an idea - why not introduce yourself in an intro thread and share.your training experience and level. That sets context. Right now you sound ill educated, inexperienced and I am giving you the BoD because it may be an age/language issue
