What use does aikido have? Most people I talk to consider it useless.
>>248179Care to go into more detail on the deep level point?
>>249307[The kotodama was created together with the universe and is being guided by nature. This world is becoming bigger and expanding every day. It is growing daily and the Great Spirit of the Creation of the Universe is unfolding. Although Heaven and Earth are heading towards completion, we see many peoples, especially Japanese, who have not realized this fact. Since it is high time for us to accept this new happiness, I want to help them awaken from their dream soon and to create a friendly family by gathering together their wandering spirits....First of all, everything should have a center. There is the sun in the heavens, and there should be a center on earth. You cannot work without a center...The Emperor is democracy.]-Yomiuri newspaper interview of Ueshiba on May 27, 1956[“ Relocating to Manchuria in March 1936, Tomiki became a part-time instructor at Daido Gakuin and taught aikibudo to the Kanton Army and the Imperial Household Agency....Largely through Tomiki’s efforts, aiki training become a compulsory subject for students of judo and kendo, and therefore he sent for his close associate Hideo Oba, then a 5th dan, from Akita in order to develop a teaching staff. Also, Morihei Ueshiba made regular fall trips to Manchuria during these years also to conduct classes at Kenkoku University.]-Aiki News #128 by Stanley PraninAikido was previously directly connected to the various nationalist fraternities that was directly involved with the japanese occupation/the war effort. Having largely scrubbed it's public image clean aikido as it exists today is still centrally a practice for cultivating the stereotypically japanese social skill of "reading the air" through physical exercise. The alternative dojo hierarchy around belt ranks/the founder comes complete with all the reverential submission expected within japanese society right down to ancestor worship at the house shrine.
>>249319Never heard the term reading the air before. Have anywhere I could read up on that?
Aikido always struck me as a good way to train lightly after your body has been beaten up by a lifetime of judo, BJJ, wrestling, etc. I definitely think that you should get a solid grounding in a practical grappling style before moving to Aikido, though.The main problem with Aikido is the lack of non compliant sparring. Sparring, even light sparring, is a good way to filter out bullshit techniques.
>>249342Isn't it the "Reading the Room" thing that happens in anime whenever a character makes a faux pas?

I still consider this to be a Mute grab. It can be a Weddle on skateboards and snowboards, but as far as I know Chris Weddle wasn't a skier, and thus had no input on the creation or naming of this trick. It's still Mute on skis. What name do you prefer?

>>247616Skate really hard so your body produces more heat.
Do you skate at night? If yes, what equipment do you use? If no, why?
Anyone from the UK? Is it allowed to use inline skates on the road? Pavement? Cycle paths?
>>247616>>247835I usually tried to avoid skating under 10C, 5 is kinda pushing itJust long jeans jnsteatof shorts, will try some thermo leggings and shorts maybe, and I wear a thicker winter biking jacket with the pockets at the back (for water etc) and another layer under like a t-shirt or so. I mainly do urban speed runs with little to no tricksFrom October or so onward I basically only use the wet setup with MPC storm surge wheels which are basically magic, even on wet roads it grips like it was dryWet leaves will still get you no matter what and are the real problem I don't skate so much at night aka after 16:00 (that's 4pm for freedom land) this time of the year but otherwise I wear a helmet with a cheap headlight tiewrapped to it, more so others can see me properly, and I have another red one in a semi-transparent back pocket, there's lots of options in that regardYou can also swap one of your wheels with one of those LED wheels on each foot, check that they're not overly slow due to the friction that makes the LED work

Can you sweep them from this position? Or will falling on their ass cause their spine damage since have your weight around their shoulders?
>>251274I know you can sweep them so they land on their right shoulder and then finish into an armbarIf you sweep them to their left shoulder, will you instantly break their arm from the pressure, and if you sweep them backwards onto their ass will you hurt their spine?
What's the point learning takedowns if people just flop into guard as soon as you get a single leg or grab them
>>251408You can become a world champion in bjj with no takedowns or submissionsThat's why "the point" is to become a robust grappler that can win exchanges in any phase of the battle, not to arbitrarily score made up points
Can you just keep switching between side control to mount to score points?
First episode is out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCsR-zxwN1Y>What is the Ultimate Self-Defense Championship?A bit over a year ago, former Aikidoka YouTuber Rokas Leo set up a tournament with a self-defense "academy" to have himself and five other martial arts YouTubers compete to see who is best at self-defense. It was a hilarious shitshow that nearly crippled one of the contestants, Ramsey Dewey who would later get into an internet spat with the guy behind the academy (Jeff Phillips) and described the entire event as "piss poor" due to poor management, an incoherent and arbitrary scoring system, running on a very limited schedule, and timing events terribly (like having a zombie apocalypse-themed event that didn't influence score in the middle of the entire thing instead of at the end or something) and doing comically dangerous shit like making people fight on a narrow bridge a good 30ft above the ground.Somehow, he kickstarted a second one, which features even less martial arts YouTubers.
>>248037I liked the one in the first episode where it was an actually choreographed sequence showing his stupid shit "works" within his weird little bubble, but in the later episodes it doesn't really work. The other alternative is they should've made it so each segment just has a random Master Ken version of the challenge interspersed instead of all piled at the end.>Going through each baby segment>Gets to Master Ken>He's accosted for his baby>"I don't even know this kid, you can have him.">Throws the baby at the mugger then kicks him in the dick anyway because "I've had enough babies with enough women to know no good man actually WANTS to have a baby"

I see that Shane had to drop out due to an injury, and his score of 16 was finalized. At the rate Gabriel Varga is going, it's likely that Shane won't end up in last place even if he misses the next 4 challenges. Also the judges are super biased; Natan does not deserve the highest score after failing the first couple of challenges. They just wanted him up there because he's one of the most popular dudes in the competition.
I have to say, nightclub episode was the worst one yet by FAR, completely supid and contrived.And yet it was the one they were hyping up all season so far. I sincerely hope that that was nowhere near the best we got.
>>248908>it was the one they were hyping up all season so far.It had potential, but the scenario where the wife sprints away from the contestants to get drugged while everyone in the club bodyblocks the contestant was ridiculous. Also, despite failing the first two challenges, Natan was given the highest score, which was really biased by the judges; he definitely did not perform better than Adrian or Seth.
let me guess... you "need" more?
