But he will need milk for that.
Otherwise he will wind up like you.

Aikido was developed as way for unarmed samurai to defend themselves against their armed opponents. It’s terrible for hand to hand comment. Most of the techniques leave you wide open for reprisal.

It’s not even good for that.
Aikido is a purely conceptual martial art, and like most of those it’s basically useless in a fight.
That said, “useful in a fight” isn’t really the point, so it doesn’t matter.
You want fight, buy a knife or gun. Humans are bad at unarmed combat, we are evolved to use tools.

From what I remember most of it was locking your opponent’s limbs if they threw a punch at you or using their momentum to throw them out of your way, or pin them in some way
Granted when I took it, it was mostly self defense and not against someone who knew a proper martial art themselves. There was a lot of learning “weak points” in limbs and stuff to know the best place to bend or pin someone’s limb for maximum pain or to stop them from moving.
Never gotten the chance to see how it works in practice and kinda glad I haven’t 
There is a reason you don’t see Aikido used against anything but a complete laymen. It is one of many martial arts that is useless against someone that knows how to fight. A combination of Muay Thai, Wrestling, and Jiu Jitsu is the way to go.

I know from experience that boxing is terrific at that too.

Makes sense. The aikido course I took was advertised as a self defense course, and laymen stuff is what they taught to defend against. Someone swinging wildly is easy to throw off balance or pin down…and more likely to run into in a back alley. They showed us how to disarm knife users too.
And since I never intended to get into a real fight that’s all I really needed 
Too bad guns kinda negate all that…
