I love Aikido. It was one of the first things I learned. Now the flow of that system is integrated in many things I do. Specifically the joint locks and foot movement.
Yes and no ...most traditional martial arts developed to combat non fighting aggressors. As fighting evolved these old arts didn't. These goofy Aikido tricks do work on drunks...non fighters and kids lol. So it's not fake it's just ineffective against a fighter .
It always disappoints me to see supposedly high level practitioners doing demonstrations against "attacks" that are nothing more than forms for teaching the basics to children. Aikido has lost its way.
