Shaolin Kung Fu + Akido...?

Shaolin Kung Fu Believes that executing a high attact takes too long?





Aikido and Randori, taking on multiple attacters at will?

Shaolin Kung Fu + Akido...?
What's your question.... ?





High kicks take a fraction of a second longer than high kicks?





Aikido and randori can potentially help you with multiple attackers? but to do so is very hard?
Reply:There is no shaolin kung fu and aikido isn't for fighting
Reply:whats r. lee talking about??
Reply:"Aikido isn't for fighting."





Tell that to my female cousin who beat up 2 guys who tried to attack her with broken bottles using aikido.
Reply:R. Lee is right, Aikido isn't for fighting. It's for defending, there's a big difference between fighting and self defense. I've studied Aikido and it has always bothered me back when I was still a beginner that whenever a friend asks me to spar with him, I couldn't initiate any offense and kick his butt ala Steven Seagal, it was only much later when I finally understood the whole Philosophy of Aikido that I was able to differentiate fighting from self defense. Fighting involves two people who want to hurt the other and aggressively attack one another in a contest of who gets to throw the most powerful attack that will take the other guy out. Self defense just involves someone who is trying to neutralize an unprovoked aggression and survive a violent attack. This is why most people keep saying that Aikido techniques looks fake like all star wrestling, because if the other guy doesn't attack, then the Aikido guy can't hurt the attacker. But that's the whole point, Aikido teaches avoidance of violence, so one should not eagerly seek to dish it out, just neutralize the attack with minimal or no violence as possible. As the saying goes, It takes two to tango.





As for Shaolin Kung Fu, last I looked, the Shaolin Wushu forms had a lot of high flying techniques, so I don't quite get what you mean by your first question.
Reply:Well most of the Northern Shaolin moves are high attacks.


But as for R.Lee's answer he got the Aikido part right but what the hell is he talking about when he says there is no Shaolin KF.
Reply:I agree that Aikido as a form of self defense. But when you under stand the art you would be able to initiate the conflict and apply veriest amounts of atemi. The Randori that is practiced is designed for the aikidoka to practice with an open mind. Not being allowed to set up for the next attack but to flow with the different opponents attacks.
