You're right though, almost every akbd match I have played in ended up in some tripod where I'm forced to try and bend his elbow for him to dq.
Quite annoying if you ask me, but it's the dueling mod so I have to play it.
abd was introduced as shovel/lift proof aikido, but since noone bothered to change any other gamerules then dojo, it ended up being a mod with drasticly different goal - to score points or dm.
spiritwrestling have bigger dojo too, but there is only selfdamage, guess why it's not that popular?
if mod require more skill it's not that wide known. this is why judo is so popular, but hey, we are here to set high standarts. in aikido atleast. and we have right to brag about it ;p
