Is Aikido Right For Me?

[jimmyyuan]

Hi guys...I have been wanting to take Aikido for quite some time and I finally found a dojo where they teach it. I was wondering if people on this forum can help me and tell me their experiences with Aikido and how it has helped them. I wanted to know if it was practical and also if yall know of any dojos that teach Aikido near the Houston TX area please tell mee.



Thank You =)

Then what are you waiting for. Go there and check it out. Personally I think that Aikido teaches efficient techniques that are easy to use and understand. They do have some techniques that are overly fancy (wouldnt be able to pull off/ or take too long), but for the most part the basic principles of Aikido are pretty good for self-defense.
