Do you know where this came from and what were the rules? It's not really MMA rules. No gloves, no ropes or cage, no real closed fist strikes. Seems kinda strange. The 'mma guy' seemed almost timid at times. His knee strikes around 2:53 seem almost like taps. The "Aikido' guy did a lot of trips and some chokes and arm bars. Last time I checked that was not part of the standard curriculum (Yes, I know your school does it; but you won't find most of that stuff at Hombu Dojo.)
It's almost like old Pancrase without the boots. |
Knee strikes are normally done while stationary on a stationary target, I should imagine it's quite hard to walk and knee at the same time. In fact to my way of thinking the MMA guy, if he is, struggles with the fact that the Aikidoka refuses to stand still and be hit.
