Of Course Aikido Works in MMA
Everybody knows that Aikido doesn't work in MMA. But what if everyone is wrong? To see if Aikido principles can work in MMA I met with pro MMA fighter Oliver Enkamp to test this theory. Here's what we discovered...
00:00 The Premise
01:02 1# Aikido Stance - Hanmi
02:26 Maybe There's Hope?
03:53 "Phylli Shell" vs Aikido Hanmi
04:24 "Long Guard" vs Aikido Hanmi
05:06 2# Irimi - Entering
06:00 3# Tenkan - Diverting
07:40 4# Atemi - Striking to Unbalance
08:23 5# Kuzushi - Unbalancing Through Grappling
09:35 6# Blending and Redirecting
10:48 7# Tegatana - Unbendable Arm
13:06 8# Maai - Engagement Distance
14:25 Conclusion

Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey YouTube channel!
My name is Rokas. I'm a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises.
Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton.
After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my YouTube channel called "Martial Arts Journey".
Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries.
