Aikido is great as a philosophy, exercise, activity etc but its dogshit for actual self defense
Joe, we (all armwrestling fans) want you to bring DEVON LARRAT, he's going to fight the monutain in a boxing match.
Yes, Aikido is useless in fighting, but Edward is actually making a pretty compelling argument for training it anyways. Like he says, it's like yoga or surfing. It's just recreational, it makes you relax. It's probably something he looks forward to doing every week just like a painting or playing piano or whatever you enjoy in your downtime. I doubt he is gonna end up in a fight anyways just like most piano players aren't gonna play for audiences or make any money from it.
So that’s how he suppresses the hulk
What Rogan and his acolytes don't know is that there is a form of Aikido that is hard, I believe it is called Yoshinkan. I have heard the training is grueling and brutal.Very different from Ueshiba's training method. But, Morihei Ueshiba once remarked that one "must be willing to receive 99% of an opponent's attack and stare death in the face" in order to execute techniques without hesitation. That is when Aikido really works when you have mentally and spiritually reached the state of calm and oneness and a state of no thought that you execute techniques without fear or hesitation. My understanding is that you shouldn't even tense up or break a sweat when facing an opponent. You are in a state of complete calm and relaxation.
