We’ve all heard the great and powerful Master Ken give his general critique of all martial arts apart from his own insurmountable art of Ameri-Do-Te, which combines the greatest strengths of all combat arts while filtering out the nonsense that makes up the bulk of them. Hence, the catch phrase of Ameri-Do-Te students, “Best of All, Worst of None”.

But, the time has come to hear Master Ken’s take on other martial arts individually, allowing him to truly dissect each one for the useless junk that they truly are! First up on Master Ken’s chopping block – Aikido. Brace yourselves, students of this Japanese art of throws, joint locks, and passive grappling – the time has come for you to see your art for what it truly is!
