I recently started a thread on NHB Fighting and aikido because I was hoping to get a little support for my (somewhat naive) notions:

"A strong traditional martial artist would fare well in the UFC."

AND

"Traditional martial arts are as combat effective as Mixed Martial Arts."

It seems the overwhelming opinion is:

"Mixed Martial Arts are more effective than traditional martial arts."

Does everyone agree with the former statements or the latter?

Respectfully,
