My first aikido class ended with me giving the sensei a broken nose because I didn’t “comply” with his wristlock. I gave him a warning that when he applied it my other hand was free to hit him in the face. He told me I wouldn’t be able to do it if he applied it with full force.
So he did, his face was grimm and I saw he was trying to hurt me for questioning his art. And he did, my wrist was sore for a week or 2 after. But my other hand was still free and his eyes were focused on my other hand the whole time, the pain triggered my reflexes and I right crossed him in the face.
He let go and covered his nose which started bleeding and swelling up immediatly, and his students rushed in to break us apart, after which he kindly asked me to leave the class and never come again.
Not that I planned to.
On a side-note, this when only when I was boxing. I’m curious what he would’ve done against my takedowns.
I do however use a wristlock and chicken wings to control semi/non-resisting guys and kick the guy out, not sure if those originate from aikido, cause I learned those moves from other bouncers. But in a real brawl, I’d use my wrestling and boxing. But I’d rather not fight anyway, shit can happen, and I’ve been literaly stabbed in the back before, nothing serious luckely.
I’ve seen a few bouncers who claimed to be aikido black belts, but I’ve never seen them do any aikido, mostly they just start brawling like everyone else.

I’ve done judo for about a year and brazilian jujitsu on and off for four years now. I have sparred a couple of aikido guys in the past. One completely stomped me. It was amazing. I threw elbows, knees, kicks, takedowns. I ended up on the floor every ten seconds, completely unharmed. That being said, he had 20 years of aikido experience.
I think judo is more immediately useful. Aikido takes a long time to be useful, even remotely.[/quote]
If you did judo your sense of balance should be decent enough to face and stand with any pure aikidoka. Maybe fighting is not for you.[/quote]
It sounds like that aikidoka wasn’t very good at wrist locks if you were able to punch him in the face. Against someone who really knew what they’re doing, it really wouldn’t matter whether your other arm was free because you would not be punching them with it.
