Aikido
Arguably the most powerful martial arts in Japan.

An Aikido practitioner is practically invincible, no one of any martial arts background can ever land a punch or kick on one.

Using the power of the attacker, the Aikido practitioner uses absolutely no energy to knock them down.

A fearsome martial arts it is.

I believe you should learn Aikido. Now I know you may be thinking, "Why should I learn a weakling martial art like Aikido when I am learning Karate?" I can see why you would think that, how can a peaceful martial arts like Aikido beat a powerful one like Karate.

Well, I have a story to share with you.

Years ago, I was a karateka, I thought I was the toughest kid in high school, I would pick fights, and kick ass. I was full of hate, until I picked a fight with the wrong dude. He was a Japanese exchange student, I still remember his name, Noboru Takeda.

I picked on him because of his hilarious and thick Japanese accent. I told him I was going to beat him so hard, he would go back to China(Yeah, I was a little racist prick.), he never said anything back, made me wanted to kick his ass even harder.

Well, here comes the fight. I threw several punches, he dodged them like I was a mere white belt. I was tiring out and he knew, I saw the smirk on his face that made me raged hard. I put all my strength in one amazing punch, and he grabbed it and threw me over. My back smacked on the hard cement ground, and I was knocked out for who knows how long.

When I woke up I was in the school infirmary, I asked the nurse who brought me here, and you guessed it, Noboru Takeda. The next day, he wasn't at school, he was back in Japan, and I never got to thank him, for saving my life and showing me the light. I soon learned that he was an Aikidoka and have been practicing Aikido ever since to show my thanks to him.

my Aikido dojo is across from a Karate dojo. We usually get alot of rude remarks from them, such as Aikido being for weaklings.

Well, one of them challenged me, he was a white male in his 20's. I accepted of course, I never back down from a challenge.

He had really good form, but his Karate was no match for my Aikido. He delivered a great kick but it was nothing for me, I easily grabbed it and knocked him down with a kick. This went on for about 10 minutes until he got too tired.

He got frustrated and left, he was about to cross the street but I stopped him from getting hit by a speeding cyclist. He didn't say thanks but it still felt good to save someone.

>> No.5512489

Have you ever been in love, OP?

I haven't. Not with another human being at least. After dedicating my mind and spirit to Aikido I haven't found much room for anything else.

Sure I've been on dates before with beautiful women, but whenever they find out that I am a student of the world's strongest martial art, the dinner always ends there. They sometimes even offer to pay, in fear of their lives.

I still laugh at how 4chan doesn't understand what sage means.

If only I knew moon so I wouldn't have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.

Using sage as a way to "insult" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in sites like 2ch and Futaba. Fuck, iichan and 4-ch do it right. It's just 4chan and 4chan's lame knockoffs that fail at using sage.

The true meaning of sage means that YOUR POST isn't worthy enough to bump the thread. It's ironic, because you think that you're insulting others while you're just, in fact, insulting yourself. Yes, sage can be used when posting a derogatory comment in a thread that you don't want to bump, but posting with just the word "sage" accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board. The trend of replying with the name of a tripfag and sage is even worse, as it accomplishes nothing and only serves to increase the e-penis of whoever you're "attacking".

The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose not to bump a thread with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using sage instead.

I want to use sage, yet I almost never do it on 4chan because people will jump on me thinking I'm insulting their post or something.

I have defeated countless opponents using Aikido, and they always ask me, Why are you so strong?

I answer, I'm not strong, you are.

Aikido uses the strength of the attacker back at them but 10 times stronger(estimate). Using Aikido and I can probably kill a charging Rhino using it's force right back at it, of course, I'm not going to try it, way to dangerous for any sane person.

I recommend practicing Aikido for every /jp/edo, as you are all physically weak, and Aikido is specialized for the weak to defend against the strong.

The training and way you move your body between these two martial arts is too different.
Combining them is stupid.
Plus, Karate has multiple schools and focuses that cover a wide range of situations, and is not limited to 'sports karate' rules, where only certain hits are allowed. Karate is a great defensive martial art.

Boxing in general is also very different to eastern martial arts, since it lacks kicking, and it focuses on small concise movements and huge number of punches, an exact opposite direction.

I'm not sure how it is for Aikido, but in (real) Karate it takes several years. Around 6-8 years, in most cases, impossible to say for certain, as it's pretty much up to your sensei when you get to take your 1st dan test. After that, it's years and years between dans, to give you an idea, my sensei is 3rd dan, while the japanese Master in my region (who oversees kyuu/dan tests under him) of the country is 8th dan, with 50-some years of experience.

I would expect a black belt in Aikido to also take several years at least, but I don't really know much about Aikido's rank structure.

The fact is though his body was built a lot better than yours and he had serious specialty training by the military.

You were 16 years old and had some local guy teaching you.

There's a huge difference in physical prowess as well as mental ability and focus. And yes, focus is important no matter what style of fighting your doing, and believe me a 16 year old won't beat out an adult in this area.

Stop trying to pretend you were, as you put it, "hot shit", by implying you think you had a chance against him.

You didn't, and you now are a fucking neckbeard sitting around on 4chan all day, so it's pretty clear who would win back then and who would win even now.

Ever since my car accident in 2002 when I lost both of my legs, I have not been able to lead a normal sexual life with my spouse. Fortunately we came across Aikido which changed the way I live. I am now able to perform many sex positions and lead an otherwise normal sex life. Thank you so much.

What I'm assuming is that a little kid can't beat an adult who is specially trained and has the body of a military man.

Even if you were able to land a hit on him he probably wouldn't even notice.

This isn't fucking anime, this is real life. You're a scrawny 16 year old in this situation fighting with a military built man with military skills and training.

You won't win. This isn't home alone.

Introducing: 4chan's Aikido Challenge 2006
With the launch of our nifty new servers, we'd like to see a few things change.

Getting people to contribute has always proved difficult. Leeching has once again begun to dominate as the site gets faster. Instead of spurring contributions, the new speed has given rise to leeching once more.

We need your help. See the above graph? Note the average inbound traffic of 5.65mbps. To get things rolling, we'd like to push this past 10mbps. Post more, contributing can be plain ol' replies or images--every post helps!
POST MORE. YOU HELPED PAY FOR THESE SERVERS--NOW PUT THEM TO GOOD USE. Replies and image posts are what MAKE this site!

Think of it this way: The faster we hit our goal (or at least see things speed up), the faster this annoying red text comes down.
One more thing... We've got an extra 40mbps to burn through during the month of March. We plan on putting it to good use. Stay tuned.
Check out OtakuGeneration's latest podcast, with guest 4chan (shut & moot)! Get it here.

Are me. Not sure about everything else.

Also, I am well aware of what its like too be 16 and unable to fight. I wasn't able to hold my own in a fight till about 18 - 19. I am also acutely aware of what it is to fight someone who is military trained. Step dad once nearly broke my arm horsing around. In retrospect, though, he was actually pretty shitty at fighting.

Exactly, even someone who doesnt know shit about fighting but is bigger and more well built than the other guy will most likely be able to beat the shit out of a teenager regardless of the latters training.

In a street fight?

Aikido will not seem to work, because for it to work, a cooperation from the thug is needed, like "give me your wrist, no, not that, the other wrist, okay, extend it further and don't move while I twist it...".

You misunderstand. When I was 16, I was SHIT at fighting. I got into fights all the damn time at school and never won. I remember getting the shit choked out of me once. Feels bad man.

At 18 I probably would have wiped the floor with my stepdad, and I have known people who were 16 that are really fucking good. Of course, I haven't seen nor heard from the guy in 10+ years, so never got to test the theory.

If you learn Jap martial arts, everyone will think you're just another weeaboo. (OK, this is /jp/, so you probably are.)

Learn some western martial arts instead, such as English smallsword fencing, boxing or (if you're a righteous enough chap) French cane fencing.

After 18 you'd go to jail if you got physical with him or anyone else anyway.

Be smart unless you can prove it was self defense only - even then you can't go overboard or it's still something you'll go to prison for. Which I think is stupid (the latter part of that), but sadly true.

As much as people like to think its 'manly' to fight, if you get caught or the person goes to the police (even if they were trying to mug you or something) you'll still go to court and probably get thrown in jail for awhile for it.

To be fair the military does not focus on hand to hand combat and only teach the basics.

Believe it or not I knew two guys, brothers, that had used their inheritance money to go to china and train in sword fighting. They were already good at various European styles. When they got back they were pretty overpowering. They were pretty handy in unarmed fighting as well, but I never experienced that first hand. Of course, one of the brothers also blew a large chunk of his money going off to countries doing honest to god treasure hunting, so they might not be the best example ever.

I don't think they were quite /jp/ers, but they were pretty big nerds, but figuratively and literally. Remember that the world is made up of all kinds, and some people are attracted to anime/movies/games because it exaggerates some of the things they already have an interest in, rather than the other way around.
