Toribash
It's pretty unbalanced, takes the skill out of aikido by giving you too much space

Ok, I just read the merge few minutes ago, in spite of I had read the rumors about it, and I liked the idea of have more members and more ideas to study and more activity here.

This will be interesting.

Also: For those who still don't know: I'm Chris937. Namechanged.

Yeah, I have lots of threads to read now. I'm working on being updated. And thank you.

Also: I'm getting anxious about a judo championship that I will participate in October. I still need to lose 3 kg. xD And I've been training and studying a lot so part of my inactivity here was because of those things.

Like Yaum said, we don't want to compete which style is the best. That's up to personal opinion.


(Besides we don't want people to apply to bushido just because it's "better". If they did, they'd never respect our rules and playstyle anyway)

there is nothing wrong in claiming bushido to be the best, afteral many can try to join, but as always just a few will be able to.

nothing wrong in elitism if it actually based on something more complex(skill to throw/fairplay/sportsmanship)

if more people will eventually learn how to, there is nothing wrong too as our other point is sportsmanship and "fairplay", and sure as hell we must market these things as something elite

But still bushido is an amazing playstyle to have.

we play the way we do in the wild and have no complications at all, it's all solved by using aikido5.tbm mod which favor our meta

abd is popular for 2 reasons
1) people assume big dojo prevent shoveling
2) very low skill cap


while mods with big dojo such as spiritwrestling are not so popular because spirit wrestling have higher skill cap as it force you to play not for point holding or dms (i personally frown upon this) but instead meta is about to be able to pin down opponnent to the ground and hold him a bit.

so here are mods with big dojos, yet one is popular, another is niche for the skill cap reason.

in general, aikido5 and aikido7 were created as antishovel mods, where you can not grab torso or legs to get an easy win, scrub lifting is also slightly midgating by making shoulders and head ungrabable, so if you can't get locked with plain grab, but only by opponent joints, which is totally fair as it hard to do.

tl;dr
you don't need big dojo to stop shovel/lifts

Fyi a5 disables wrists.

thats correct, becoming a standard anti-scrub mod, since you don't really need wrists functioning in order to throw people anyway, but it does prevent inner grabs on start

Not just ABD players, we have 3 Tiers and that's Begginer (Replacing the school) Advanced, replacing old regular members. And then Bushido. It's just placed on how difficult it is to get into.

I like the bushido style but I don't think that it is the better way to play aikido. Surely it has to be improved a lot.
