Is this something you practice on people on a regular basis in training? How many people have you seriously hurt doing so, it must be all the time? How do you train with your small joints so brutally injured every training session when you practice?
I'm sure you can, but I thought the whole concept was about protecting the wellbeing of your attacker?
I think I clearly stated where the techniques were used and in what context. Just outside the 'Whistle and Duck' in Sarajevo if you really want specifics.
In such a situation Aikido provides some good moves that are very valid. Would you try and use a judo throw - oh dear you've just got you belt and webbing tangled on them and pulled yourself to the ground too - fancy kick with boots - yer right that's going to work, some of the wrestling I've learned as a kid requires a build/strength most people don't have and I know I don't have anymore etc.
My point is you get all these elitist people (who mostly are armchair MMA fans) who miss the point its not the dog in the fight (as in the style) it's the fight in the dog and you can learn all this wonderful stuff and if you are not of the right nature completely fail to put any of it into practice when the adrenaline kicks in. No style is going to prepare you properly in the same way you will never react well the first time you are hit hard - proper hard.
