How does Aikido Florida work?
The ideal distance is when your attacker must take at least one step to touch you. This distance mainly requires a motion of convergence for an attack to be executed, and that motion of convergence is a movement of energy toward you. Aikido Florida works by blending with or ‘stealing' that energy from your attacker and redirecting or reversing it into a throw or locking the attacker. In practice, however, especially in the face of an actual attack, it's more complicated than it may seem to apply many standard entries used to gain the initial control. If an opponent succeeds in getting close by concealing his intention, the convergence motion will have already occurred. And if the attack involves a brutal, fast, violent flurry of multiple blows, it can be challenging to blend into it or get a handle on the attacker to redirect or reverse the attack. Sometimes the attacker faces difficulty when skilled and unskilled people use fakes to set up their attack or grabbing attacks that involve violent pulling and pushing, as most grabbing attacks obviously will.
