	Interesting reel about Aikido. When learning [[Shorinji Kempo]] in the early 90s, I remember learning that some of the moves were similar. But my sensei could actually demonstrate where a hold in Shorinji was stronger than a similar hold in Aikido.		Interesting reel about Aikido.

	Probably the strongest proof of the assertion that Aikido is a joke, is that they don't have competitions, so it can never be proven, but also doesn't have the opportunity to evolve. Although with that said, I do wonder about other Japanese martial arts. Reminds me of a scene where Jim Halpert, ~~fromm~~[[The Office]] says something like if there's one thing we know about ancient Japanese martial arts, ~~is that it~~ is that they're always improvising. So, although some of the criticism of other martial arts could be valid, without tournaments, Aikido really stands on its own.
