What Aikido Can Teach Us - What Is Aikido?

We do an in-depth examination of Aikido. Inspired by Rokas' continued exploration, we look at some concepts of Aikido when it comes to connection, intention, interpretation etc. Let's see if we can apply any Aikido concepts to our martial arts training. If not, there might still be gems to discover in this art. Leave your comments below and let us know if you've ever tried Aikido and if you like the exercises we played around with. What is Aikido? Let us know what you think it is and whether it's even a martial art!
