Re: NHB Fighting and Aikido
I find the same thing to be true for many aikido techniques. Many of them are negated or "go out the window" as soon as the opponent adopts a guarded posture and will not violate his center. Usually it goes from this point to the clinch, to the ground fairly rapidly. Not always, but quite often.
However, as soon as you place a weapon into the equation either actual, or percieved/possible, many of these same techniques will start working again.
