Some of the more refreshing stuff I've seen of Aikido material on the web... sure it doesn't have the "continuous flow" of some of the Aikido you see against fully cooperating partners, but it addresses a certain degree of realistic resistance which most of the clips on Aikido out there don't have.
Thanks Fubo, I agree with what these guys are doing using resistance as a way to overcome resistance.
I wonder if this is how the top aikido guys trained.
There is a guy named Jason Delucia who practices Aikido and has fought at professional MMA tournaments including UFC 2. He has a video series called Combat Aikido. I've seen it and it looked good. Here are some clips from youtube:
You can go to aikiweb, a site devoted to the aiki arts, and search his name, and then see how well his video's are received.

The instant you feel any attempt to stop you technique, you slap him in the face then immediately go back to the original or a new technique. If that doesn't work, slap, punch or kick him again, then go back to the technique.
The way I learned Aikido, no techniques are even attempted without atemi. Atemi is the instant, ingrained response to any aggression.
The two main "atemi" in Aikido look exactly like Pi Quan and Beng Quan of Xing Yi, they are called Shomen Uchi and Tsuki.
