hey, another tip ive just found out - in akido, leave ur head wide open, and 9/10 times, theyll try to hit it (only if they have good ability). In akido, points mean nothing, its all about dq, so while they are busy hitting ur head, takes theyre attention away from where it matters, keeping both feet on the ground. Ive found nearly every time ive left my head open, the opponent has punched it, and i lifted them off the ground while theyre attention was on my head, and ive managed to dq them. In akido, it is best to aim for arms and legs, NOT the places that get u the most points
