Huh, I hit 100% in the #MartialProfile app ‘fitness gauge’. I’ll take that win, regardless of whether it’s actually true or not :D

Have anyone tried practising aikido-kind (or similar) techniques against kickboxing (or any street style fighting) punches and kicks?
especially the real speed punches?
incl. series of punches?
it sounds like extremely interesting "don´t try this at home" thing to do 
do people practise someting like this? especially here in Finland?
(without going down on the floor for bjj or at least without choking)

@3morereps oh and in relation to #aikido, #DaitoRyu is very clearly related. So not something 'completely different'. But curriculum is larger than what is usually taught in aikido and, yes, approach is a bit different.
I find their Sasuga's seminars inform my aikido to a great amount. In other words: I better understand what I'm (supposed to be) doing in aikido. The core.
At the same time, the flow in aikido is sometimes very enjoyable.

@3morereps now that’s an interesting question. It’s ‘tough’ in the sense that there is generally more consideration for how things really work, and locks tend to be done tighter and ukes less ‘easy’ (at least at Sasuga). However it is also very subtle and can feel almost effortless at times. But it is not easy! Sasuga is having an open seminar on #DaitoRyu in Helsinki on 29th of March. Open to anyone, if interested.
#Sasuga is putting together a full day seminar on #DaitoRyu #Aikijujutsu (the parent art of #aikido and #hapkido, amongst others) in #Helsinki, 1st Feb. Their seminars have always been very insightful, and they retain some of the oldest teachings of the art. Thoroughly recommend going.

Our sensei, Tom Granström (6th dan), will be one of the many instructors at next month's '#Aikido Across Borders' event in Vantaa (near Helsinki), Finland. Many styles will be present, from soft to #Tenshin style (which #StevenSeagal did). There will also be #DaitoRyu #Aikijujutsu, courtesy of the #Sasuga dojo and #BarawSugbo from the Philippines. A great opportunity to do a whole weekend of the full spectrum of aiki arts.

@driusan might be worth a visit at some point. Could be interesting to hear what it’s like :) Though there are nowadays many #DaitoRyu styles too. So it’s not necessarily a case of going to the ‘roots of aikido’. Most of them have evolved at least as much as #aikido from the days of Sokaku Takeda. His son made substantial changes to the curriculum.

I wonder if I’m the only person on the Fediverse who does #DaitoRyu #aikijujutsu? Due to federation I might be missing some people doing this traditional #jujutsu somewhere at the edges of this universe.
Continued thread
The result of that was a 15-20min post-class informal congregation of a few other newbies, with questions, and a quick no #ukemi demo of forms of #KoteGaeshi that are NOT usually taught, outside of #DaitoRyu and other #Jujutsu forms.
What attracted me to #Aikido was the inclusiveness, the flexibility and optional benevolence of the forms.
Many assume that, because of that optional benevolence, Aikido "doesn't work" because you don't leave a trail of bloody bodies behind you. The Aikido forms are direct from DaitoRyu. We train in a manner to not apply lethality or even likelihood of physical harm (apply #ukemi qualifiers here).
But never make categorical assertions, out of near absolute ignorance, about the effectiveness of a encompassing series of techniques you barely started to discover.Looks foolish.
Namely when someone proceeds to demonstrate a dozen or so forms of that technique you didn't know existed, and which show exactly what you said couldn't happen.
The other day, at the dojo, someone told me, *categorically* that there is NO WAY to execute a #KoteGaeshi without significant #TaiSabaki (full body displacement).
The individual in question is, now, a NiKyu (2nd degree before yudansha/black belt) with about ~5yrs of Aikido (and an alleged "black belt" in TKD, which is worth what it is) training.
The guy is the type to resist techniques and insert his previous exclusive training into the form. His tea cup is so full.
I smirked, stated he might not be right about that, and ignored his further mumbling.
Should finally do my #introduction.
In and around tech since 7, when I started programming as a kid living in #NorthernIreland (now in #Finland). The sheer magic of creating a world from a blank screen was like nothing else. Since then founded several companies including banking disruptor #Holvi, the new computer #Solu, and now #AttractiveAI. Also #demoscene event #AltParty.
Beyond that I enjoy writing and am 1st kyu in #aikido, with some #DaitoRyu, #iaido and #kobujutsu in the mix.
