Akido

Is there anyone on here that trains akido that believes it’s actually useful and 100% believes that you can do all the stuff you do in the no pressure sparring to someone in a fight ?

For reference I’m a blue belt in jiu jitsu and I know akido people are really really good at wrist locks.

A few months back we had an akido black belt visit our jiu jitsu gym and he got absolutely smoked by our white belts. Fair play to him he was very humble and it takes a lot of courage to put your black belt on the line like that.

My only knowledge of akido is from watching USDC by Rokas Leo on YouTube and from watching grown men dramatically throw themselves in a desperate attempt to get away from their wives. Kinda looks & sounds like that thing that George Dillman teaches

I mean no disrespect, many martial arts are no joke but I just don’t see this one working. I’m open to learning peoples opinions on the matter
