    Just wondering if anyone that studies this has ever pulled off an Aikido technique in a real life situation. I'm constantly reading about how it only works in real life and i need some convincing.

    Well there are very few Akido-ka here, and fewer again (I suspect) with any 'real life' experience of using Akido IRL.

    A book I've read, and enjoyed is Angry White Pyjama's.

    Although I suspect most people involved in Aikido do so for the 'Art' of the style rather than its real life effectiveness.

    Once aw a friend of mine who was an aikido black belt nail a guy with rokkyo (standing arm lock) when the tool grabbed him and tried to throw a dig. if you're worried about real world application aikido probably isn't the thing to be doing though

    Good book that. Wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of one of those police guys:D

    I done door work with a Canadian lad who was an Aikido BB and had some great locks too, looked effortless.

    Its one of the style's I'd like to have a deeper understanding off, that and Kendo.
