How Do I Beat People Up Using Aikido

I am taking aikido and it is tons of fun, but I have this friend I was hoping I'd be able to beat up. He thinks he's so good at martial arts and I want to wipe the smug grin off his face. He has a 5th degree black belt in karate, a 3rd degree black belt in judo, is the reigning champion of the local illegal cage fighting circuit and also founded a style of kung-fu. Any tips and techniques would be appreciated. I was thinking maybe get him really drunk and catch him off guard with a high-five transfering quickly into nikajo, but I am open to other suggestions.

It's very simple. You must use O Sensei's most poweful, devastating, technique, the Forgotten Technique. It was truly awe inspiring. Ukemi for this usually involved parachutes, retro rockets, very thick pillows a HUUUUUUGE catcher's mit. The technique sent shockwaves through the space/time continuum, so that any martial artist who even thought of challenging the Forgotten Technique would crap in his pants two days before doing it and call it. Your smug friend would be a pile of goo in two seconds if you used the Forgotten technqiue. His great-grand children's third-cousins-twice-removed-classroom's-dentist's-appartment-super's-brother-in-law's-accountant's-mechanic's-girlfriend's-annoying little borther would get a concussion.

I'd tell you what the Forgotten technique was .....

But I forgot it. So you're doomed.

Nice knowin' ya.

Mike

Re: How Do I Beat People Up Using Aikido

Challenge him to a full-contact hakama folding competition in seiza - after about 10minutes of his being unable to get the damn pleats correct, he'll be unable to stand up thus leaving him open to bokken practice.

Damn those pleats, they are the bane of my life!

They're all screaming about the rock n roll, but I would say that it's getting old. - REFUSED.

Re: How Do I Beat People Up Using Aikido

The answer to people like this is often to challenge them to something they'll see as really sissy or effeminate. If you are willing to do public demos while wearing a pink tutu and fluffy bunny ears, and they aren't--you win!

Re: How Do I Beat People Up Using Aikido

Eat a large onion, challenge him to a staring contest , and when he settles in induce a large belch and blow hardy at his face. He will blink back the tears ... or fall over from the fumes .

Re: How Do I Beat People Up Using Aikido

Destroying a bridge might look easy in the movies, but remember: They're designed to withstand the immense shear-forces of wind and weather. Deploying an underwater M-32 satchel charge at the base of each load-bearing pylon looks like the answer, but it might not even shake a modern riveted steel highway or railroad bridge. Without delving into the complex language of the guerrilla combat engineer, the best advice I can give you is to forgo subtlety in favor of brute force: Put two satchel charges at each X-shaped trestle buck, and this should rob the bridge of any reinforcing strength and cause it to buckle nicely.

Oh, wait, sorry, this is not the Navy Seal thread..my bad!!!!!! LOL

Take a cue from the Speedy Bird school, and use your ki to lead your attacker right over a cliff. Make sure he has a little sign that says "Oh, no."

Yeah, and give 'em time to blink a couple times and lift the sign before gravity takes effect!

Re: How Do I Beat People Up Using Aikido

Or I could just send him lots of awesome-looking gadgets that always seem to backfire and make him explode, or fall off a cliff, or explode, then fall off a cliff, or fall off a cliff, then explode.


I wouldn't be surprised if roadrunner had a stake in acme corporation, by the way. Thats why he can avoid the traps so easily.

If you waited until he was standing close to a cliff, you could sneak up behind him and scare him over the edge with a loud, strong kiai...

MEEP MEEP!!

Hey, no wonder. Rumor has it that he designed those traps.

Re: How Do I Beat People Up Using Aikido

How about printing out all the threads about Aikido vs whatever martial art, then all the threads with reference to BJJ.

Then ball all that paper up and it should undergo some kind of gravitational collapse.

Look at your newly formed black hole.

Chuck your opponent into it.

Job done.

Cheers,

Matt.

Of course, Eric's suggestion about hiring Chuck Norris would always work too but make sure that you pay up on time or you could die a terrible, roundhouse kick related death.

Re: How Do I Beat People Up Using Aikido

Want to wipe that smug grin from his face?
When you see it, smile back big and genuine with amusement at your desire to defeat him. His smug grin will disappear from his face as you desire to remove it disappears. Small victory if he looks quizzically wondering why you are smiling. Larger victory if he smiles genuinely back. True victory if you no longer compare your smile to his.
Another aikido option, train for 100 years, stay healthy, when he dies, go and kneel next to his grave. Place your hand on the grave, pinning him. He won't get up. Be gracious and thank him for the training. Don't expect a reply.
