Two words for you - Steven Seagal
Do some research. He's hardly a fraud

Dave, you have always impressed me as being a very intelligent person.
You struck me as the type of person that in public, you would have zero problems conversing with anyone about any given topic.
Thats why I was a little shocked at your first post re the Aikido video. It just seemed a little close minded.
I boxed when I was young. A bit of both Ju Jitsu and Karate. So, when I have had first hand experience with my Brother and his best friend, Black and Second Degree Black, I am speaking of experience, not just what I think when I watch UTube videos on Aikido.
My little experience with Ju Jitsu, as much as it is effective, comes no where close to Aikido. We could flip a person but it was more Judo than Aikido.
I asked you to watch a few UTube videos that are available. That is about all I can do to prove it to you. Other than if you are that serious, visit a local dojo, watch a class in session and talk to the sensei and ask for him to show you a few simple moves.
Of which I am sure that you will be accommodated.
On the link page that Shark posted for you, there is a clip of both Aikido vs Karate and Muay Tai.
I will try and find the link after League tonight (several videos) of the person who is demonstrating the use of Aikido and Krav Maga together.
These ones in particular are quite impressive because this guys attackers (Randoori)
are coming at him hard and fast.
There are also several aikido street fight videos where the attacker is coming fast, no holds barred.
You should be able to find these also.
So, the drama finally over?

Are you familiar with Occam's Razor?
Gillette 5 Blader here. Sorry Dave, as much as I would like for there to be a cage match available for you to watch, the only evidence is what is on UTbe.
If you can't study that with an open mind, then I can't do or say much more than that
Also, there is Tai Kwon Leap. Very deadly.
Have you considered as to why there are no Aikido Tournaments?
Because it is strictkly defensive. There are no attacking moves in Aikido, that is unless you are Steven Segal.
Besides that, they couldn't be bothered with it. Aikido is beyond Tai Kwon Leap.
Steven, whom my brother met at a seminar is a very capable man. To a certain extent, he is a legend in his own mind. He has fallen out with many of the Master because of certain things but make no mistake about it, he is a Shehan and didn't get that given to him.
He is every bit as tough as he thinks he is.
