Sensei Phelps Kept all aspects of NGA nothing has changed in our Aikido practice, all he did was add Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Aikido on your feet, Jiu-Jitsu on the ground. We still have to learn the 50 classical techs of Nga and test on them the same as you do. Now in our defense lines if you fall instead of letting you get up we go on the ground.theletch1 said:What aspects of NGA did you keep when you created the new system? What did you discard?
Aikido techniques work just fine while on the ground if you take the time to work them in the horizontal plane. Takes some work (as does anything worth doing right) to get it just right. There is at least one BJJ instructor in the Roanoke area. I think the instructors name is Carson Hurley out on route 460. Aikido is NOT going to give you an immediate self defense return on your time investment. As for blending styles there are a couple of different threads here that discuss this very thing. Blending ground fighting with my aikido is something that I'm just now getting anywhere near feeling comfortable with. Be patient if you have the time to. If you need immediate self defense ability for your job then maybe it would be worth looking into augmenting your aikido with BJJ or kenpo.NGAzone said:Just a follow up, Ive been "studying" BJJ off video at home... It would appear that NGA & BJJ would be a most excelent martial art given that NGA is weak on horizontal ground defense, but BJJ appears to be 70% or more of just that. Taking 2 strong MAs into one only makes common sense.
For a side note, in my work (corrections), 90% of our restraints end up on the floor, just as does actual street fights... NGA doesnt help me any there, Im left to struggle (Hence the reason I am "studying" BJJ at home).
If there were a school close to me in Roanoke VA Id be interested to examine the art..

Because they SPECIALIZE in being on the ground for the most part. I'll stick to my aikido and work out how to make aikido techniques work on the ground. I really enjoy working out with guys from other styles, though, and getting a different perspective on ground fighting. Really, though, it is rare to see any sort of ground fight training in an aikido dojo. Is this something, in the minds of all you instructors out there, that we should concentrate a little more on?jujutsu_indonesia said:sensei demonstrated some aiki nage henka tonight, and one of them is using aiki nage to throw someone whom are mounted on your stomach and punching your face. he shows many waza, but all of them are to escape pins. Brazil Jiujitsu and Judo is much more advanced than aiki jujutsu in the realm of ground fighting.
