Me and my self defense coach Marius Tubis looked at one traditional Aikido technique called Irimi Nage and tried to adapt it to a practical application. While the technique was quite effective to a certain standard, we weren't happy about the end result since it was still a fairly low percentage technique and not enough to our standard. That is why we decided that this "New Aikido Technique" was a fail.
One of the Aikido techniques that we tried to make effective is called Irimi Nage. It is an entering Aikido technique, yet while it works in theory we realized it is a failed Aikido technique as far as real application goes, specially against a trained fighter.
Many people do think that an Aikido fail is very possible with most Aikido techniques the way it's practiced right now and I also personally feel that most Aikido techniques would fail as well, that is why I am eager to say what in Aikido will fail and what not, if we look at it with a scientific mind.
It is interesting that the keyword Aikido fail or Aikido has Failed Me is one of the top searchable keywords for Aikido. This brings us again to realize that many people do feel that Aikido would fail them in the street or that they have doubts about their Aikido techniques. In the end whether Aikido is effective or if it is bullshido you can only check by exposing yourself to pressure testing such as alive sparring using your Aikido techniques. If we do not let our Aikido exposed to reality, than Aikido fantasy vs reality situation can happen if you ever need to use your Aikido in a self defense situation.

In the end whether we will continue to hear the term Aikido Bullshido or have Aikido fail and Aikido has failed me as one of the top searches in YouTube, it depends on each one of us. Whether we will be satisfied with Aikido techniques the way they are practiced, or whether we will take a look at our Irimi Nage and let ourselves expose our Aikido to more difficult and alive situation. I leave the choice to you.
