Before the Ki people get their ribbons in a twist or the Aikido puriststs soil their gis!! this is not about Aikido vs Taekwondo. It is about Rik Ellis a student of the ``Ellis Schools of Traditional Aikido`` who also studies MMA. Rik was prepared to take his technique and positive spirit into the ring, as was Russell Dennis 6th dan Taekwondo.
There is a video on `Aikido Ellis Video Channel` In a recent FCFN ( Full Contact Fight Night ) where Rik Ellis with a background in Aikido and trained in MMA meets Russell Dennis 6th dan Extreme TaeKwonDo.
Rik Ellis of the " Ellis Schools of Traditional Aikido " destroyed Russell Dennis in 46 seconds of the first round.
Rik does not perform the classical Aikido that one would see on the mat, he demonstartes the positive action necessary to overwhealm an opponent. see: Aikido Ellis Video Channel: Aikido video Ellis Aikido dedicated to traditional Aikido and Kenshiro Abbe Sensei from 1955.British Aikido 1955 -2008. It is the first fight on the video...
Rik Ellis says that in a real situation such as the street or in the MMA ring/cage Aikido cannot be performed in its classical sense as one sees it on the mat. He finds that ~Tenkan ~ Iriminage ~ Tenchinage ~ are some of the techniques that can be used successfully in close quater contact. Such as turning his opponent into the cage wall, or any wall for that matter.

No matter your pretence, you are what you are and nothing more!! ....Kenshiro Abbe Sensei 1915 ~ 1985
Sounds like an advertisement, but, giving the benefit of the doubt.....
Duplicate thread deleted, and this thread moved to the Aikido forum where it belongs.

I cant figure it out. Maybe its a "this vs. that" thread? If it is, I vote for "this" because "this" is the best real street fighting method against ninjas who shoot fire from their eyes and throw nails and broken glass on the ground

I vote for "that" method because it's obviously the best for fighting against hoards of fire breathing zombies...Not just one or two ninja's, like "this" method. (We all know that "ninja's" don't exist anyway ) LOL

What I find entertaiing about the OP is that he is touting that Mr ellis beat a guy from the Extreme TKD team. Now I don't have a problem with TKD, but that is a performance team, not a fighting team, if I remember right.

What the hey.. what's all this 'hatin' on the TKD people 'bout?? Oh, I know there are ALOT of 'fakers' out there.. cause Soul just reminded me, we could "just drive downtown" to see that is true!
Btw, I believe that by combining the 'This' AND 'That' style you would have a 'complete system'
