Re: Why Aikido has such strange strike defense.
I think aikido people will begin to be able to deal with boxers when we start to retract our thrusts and throw punches in combinations (even if they're not great punches).
Aikido people will begin to be able to deal with grapplers when we learn to apply aiki from the ground position.
It will probably be ugly at first but we have to be willing to fail.
