Re: Defending Against Grappler Using Aikido
Rob, can you explain why you feel that way?
I agree with you based on our definition of internal training.
However, I think Roy brings an interesting an relevant perspective to aikido dealing with aliveness that is necessary.
Aiki is a particular concept.
Aikido, however, requires I think several elements to be really considered a martial art.
1. A framework or Waza.
2. Practiced with Aliveness.
3. Incorporates the concepts of Aiki.
Synergizing and putting this all together is key to what I personally want to do.
Your thoughts on why you don't consider this aiki based on the video would be very helpful.
