Excellent researched and documented video

The Founding of Jujutsu Judo Aikido in the UK

Rik Ellis the son of Henry Ellis Shihan - Aikikai Hombu, a student of Aikido from the age of five years. Rik continues to enjoy his Aikido as taught to him by his father a direct student of the legendary Budo master Kenshiro Abbe Sensei.
Rik follows his fathers teaching that, whilst Aikido can be practised in harmony in the dojo - it is totally unsuitable for application in `the street`in a time of need.
Teachers should teach students how to adapt their Aikido to meet any, and all hostile situations - The problem is - many teachers are unable to adapt.
Rik believes in `Positive Aikido` - If threatened - take a positive approach - deflect your opponents attack - enter - finish. no time to talk of aiki love and floating around the universe - no time to breath through your toes or slap your attacker with a coloured ribbon. - This would be a good time to test your `no touch` throws, or perhaps try a `Ki Blast` ( reality check ) - Good luck.

The Fight in Brief

                                                Rik `hammer`Ellis - vs - Kriston `hulk` Buxey

                                                                    

Kriston Buxey really brought it on with a great opening shot that spurred Rik in to action in a fight he was just as determined to win as was Buxey. After the opening shot from Buxey Rik allowed his 18 pounds heavier opponent to push him back into the cage wall where Rik made a very effective tight `Tenkan` turn off the cage wall taking his opponent down into  a punishing `ground n pound` finishing with a rear naked choke in the 46th second of the first round.

The 46 second win should not undermine what was a battle from the bell to the end.
