Well, Kensai posted a bunch of them a couple days ago. I'll copy them here since he isn't around to go into it...
Ki Aikido
Yoshinkan Aikido
Aikikai Aikido
Yosekai Aikido
Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido
Tomiki Aikido
Iwama Aikido
Maybe you can type some of those into a search engine or something.

OK......
THREAD + Aikido = Kensai.
Anyway,
Aikikai was the basic estabishment of O Sensei, but only really got its name after his 3rd Child (I think) the late Kisshomaru Ueshiba took over.
Yoshinkan Aikido was created by Soke Gozo Shioda, his Aikido contains more emphasis on striking and hard resistance.
Yosekai Aikido, was created by a guy that I cant remember. He basically joined Karate, Judo and Aikido together.
Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido (Ki Aikido), was created by Shushu K Tohei. He puts more emhasis on Ki training with flowing Attacks and Defences.
Tomiki Aikido, was created by Kenji Tomiki. after also training under the Great Jigaro Kano, Tomiki saw a need for competition in AIkido. He developed a series of rules and methods of engagement (hand to hand and hand vs knife) to hone Aikidoka skills.
Iwama Aikido was created by Sensei Saito from Iwama. I believe that his Aikido is more centralised around weapons training.
Hope this helps.  |

So, in conclusion, Kensai knows a little bit about aikido?

which one do you think is the best for practical fighting?

None, Aikido is not about fighting. If thats your goal in Martial arts dont take Aikido.

hmmm...
i can see that but from what i've seen, aikido has the potential to do a lot of damage in a fight. i thought it could compliment wing chun very well with its stand up wrapping and joint locks or would it take to long to develope? i like how you could contain the person without injuring them, though you may not be able to handle it that way in certain situations.

Ofcourse, different situations require different solutions.
I do think Aikido would compliment WC very well, infact I was thinking of adding WC to my list of MA.
Aikido in a martial sence takes a long time to use. I have no idea really where Aikido will take me and I have been studying it for a year. Just when I think I am understanding something, it changes. 
I think it best that you get a good grounding in one art, before taking on another. |
