Ex Aikido vs MMA - After One Year of MMA Training - 2020

It's been two years since the original Aikido vs MMA video where as an Aikido instructor I've exposed myself to show that Aikido doesn't work in an MMA fight. For a year after I tried to re-invent my Aikido, eventually coming to a conclusion that it is not worth it and instead devoted myself to full time MMA training. After a year I trained in US at SBG Portland under coach Matt Thornton and then at SBG Ireland under coach John Kavanagh. After a year of training I was ready to meet the same professional MMA fighter again to see how much I progressed and learned. Here are the results.

Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey YouTube channel!

My name is Rokas. I'm a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises.

Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton.

After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my YouTube channel called "Martial Arts Journey".

Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries.
