There are many hard to believe stories of Aikido's founder Morihei Ueshiba where he dodged bullets, knocked out people without touching them, was able to withstand five people pushing on a staff that he was holding and more. Interestingly enough many Aikido practitioners believe most of those stories, but the question arises: why? How do such stories become believable and what makes them so?

In this video I share some history of Aikido's founder and stories of my own to explain this phenomenon :)

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.
