This sort of flamebaiting is really, really annoying(for the lack of better term) behavior..but...while you DID decide on wasting space, i'll just add my two cents.
Aikido, always been my favorite, and without going into too much detail, the best part is the lack of violence.
Fighting without fighting for the preverbial, internetual, win.

Agree.
(Aikido derived from Juijitsu - which I've studied for 20+ years, but jitsu is purely self defence not a sport, so am trying very hard to avoid the flamebaiting and bollocks thats always spouted in these type of threads)

I always preferred Judo, its more defense, which is all fighting should be used for

Indeed. All martial arts are effective. Asking which is better over another is pointless, and frankly childish.
Its like saying "which gun is better" or "who's fitter: a rugby player or a soccer player" or "who was the best pop singer" or "what colour egg whisk is most effective at getting tigers away from a bowl of popcorn" etc

why would you row if a speedboat is much faster?
It's not all about effectivity
You are right, people do things because they want to, therefore trying to compare them is a pointless excersise

people really missed the whole point of this thread
two threads got choked with this is better than that blar blar blar...
And as wonk so nicely put it with the row boat and speed boat...
i really dont think the sarcasm is so hard to spot in my orig. post
thadius desides it's flamebate, so i say sure, if you want it to be then fine by me.

Actually, two threads got almost ruined by ONE individual saying "this is better" and the rest being rather annoyed by such behavior.
Noone else said "WWE is better then ultimate fighting blargh!", but was more towards defending the particular thread from outside flamemongers.
About Judo being more defense then Aikido, that i have to say, is rather a POV issue.
Both are mainly defensive, but, it's just a matter of energy use. Aikido, use the opponents. Judo, similar, but more reliant on yourself(which is not a bad point).
Well sorry but I have to disagree, ive done boxing/wrestling/karate and have been able to use all in irl situations especially Karate; trust me
. If you get to a high enough level you can learn alot to take into a fight irl.

I would have to disagree. Fighting is not exactly for killing, but for victory. This can be achieved in more ways then simply killing.
One good example is how vikings handled their grievances. A fight, but not to the death, but mroe towards "say uncle!"
It's not in human nature to kill, basically, but to win. Most times though, when it really comes down to it, victory is only acquired through death. In war especially.

I kinda covered this in the other thread, the guy who is the most dangerous in a fight is the guy that is shit scared of his life. kung fu, judo and any other thing you want to learn can be helpful of course it can.
When I was at school there was a group of lads who where bang into there karate. These guys bullied a lad with learning disabilities at my school for about 2 years. In our final year at school the surrouned him in the yard and started pushing him around and abusing him, during this they pushed him over this feeble wooden fence surrounding alittle flower garden. When he stood up he grabbed a bit of the fence and proceeded to beat the shit out of the guy closest to him. his friends ran off and let him get a hiding till the teachers came. The guys was taken to hospital and was off school for 2 weeks, he had to get plates put in his face.
His karate skills amounted to nothing in a real life fighting situation.

From speaking to people who are big into Karate I would not think these kids were very good at it as it is all about discipline and to bully a kid with learning difficulties show a shocking lack.
On an episode of street crime UK or something like that showed a group of 8 kids who killed a guy by mugging him and then stamping on his head. The next clip was the same group of lads who went to mug these two other kids, who then beat the shit out of the 8. They were two high level Judo students and the martial art showed them how to defend themselves.
So where as it might not work in every situation. Turning your back on a kid you are bullying to then get smacked about the head. If that kid had been the attacker they would not have turned there back and would have defended themselves. It all depends on the situation I think. And the funny thing is most serious martial artists would not think they could kick any ones arse as the discipline stops you thinking like that.

Haha, owned
And what soze said.
My big brother trains thai boxing, he's been in several situations where he could've used his skills to beat someone down. But in most cases it was enough to show huge selfconfidence and act like nothing when some 'cool' guy was telling him 'I'm gonna smash yer head in!'. And when it went too far it usually was enough with a punch right in his face and he was lying down
