Aikido
Okay, first off I started a new thread because after a search I found all Aikido threads were just controversary threads and titles.
So i just took my first Aikido class. Lots of fun. I was able to work application right away after learning some footwork. One of the things I noticed was how similar the style was to my experience with Taiji, in some of the application we did.
Unfortunately I dont remember the name of the style of Aikido it is, I'll make sure and get notes later. But what I was told was that its a sport style of Aikido. The way the sport is played is one person has a rubber knife, and the other person has to defend. Points are awarded on both sides then they switch and the other guy gets the knife. Which sounds pretty fun, and a great outlet to later practice your Aikido in a resistant fashion against a deadly weapon.
Anyway, I think I'll be practicing this for a while.
I know a few of you here have to have studied Aikido, what were your experiences?
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
