lol @ combat aikido... wow... just wow

But seriously I got a brown belt in aikido before I decided to fight right... just don't put your bodyweight into your strikes and you'll be fine. Don't leave anything hanging out either... should be pretty easy.

Just watch yourself when you start, and feel him out first.
You never know what he knows apart from combat aikido, whatever that is.

Aikido? You will pwn him with whatever you want. Just dont leave your hand limp and ready to be grabbed! And if he does grab it, just go with whatever he does!

If he's anything like Steven Segal make sure to wear a good cup. The word is he likes to crotch kick people on set. (not kidding)

And whatever you do, don't look to Randy Couture for help. (kidding)

Don't worry, you will kill him! Aikido isn't a striking art so i really wouldn't worry.

I have done a bit of Aikido and some bits are good but most of it isn't alive!!

I agree, they use your body weight against you.

Good luck.

Aikido guys are all about retreating at angles.

Watch which way your guys circles as he backs up in the warmup, as he'll have a favorite side.

Double leg him, and plan on dumping him to the side he favors, transitioning to the full mount immediately.

My experience has been that Aikido guys will try to sidestep you like a bullfighter, but have very little takedown defense, but pretty good submissions, some of them a little unexpected.

thanks again guys. i'm trying to stay cautious about aikido because i don't know it at all. i will definitely not expect him to just let me beat his ass but i'm really confident i can. my boxing is pretty good and like most wrestlers i have some power. thanks again i'll let you know how it goes.
