Anyone know anything about Aikido as a sport come martial art. A friend of mine is thinking of starting, is it really a good self defence system or useless? Has anyone used it in a real life self defence situation?
Thanks twistedsanity, RobatrOn and dazdcfc. All useful comments which I will consider and thanks for the vid. links. Amazing that a site mostly dedicated to motors can have people with other useful knowledege. This is a great site thanks to the folks who use it!
