Do you love martial arts?

If you practiced some kind of martial arts, mention it's philosophy in a simple way. How does it affect yourself, your way of thinking, and others surround you?


Aikido is a Japanese martial art. The word itself means "the way (do) of harmony (ai) and energy (ki)." Primarily a defensive martial art utilizing wrist, joint, and elbow grips to immobilize or throw one's opponent, and utilizes some limited offensive tactics occasionally.

I began to learn it after watching All Japan demonstration, then I get myself into the Dojo to learn techniques, I learn it to be more comfortable in dealing with people - I started realizing that body language in conversations became better :) - and of course to be ready in unusual situations. :muscle: "As long as I can" :D

In Aikido, you:
1) Avoid the attack
2) control the situation
3) choose an option

Aikido relies on using your opponent's own movement, energy, and momentum against him/her in an effort to neutralize the attack then to control the situation.

Aikido involves manipulation of the joints "specifically the wrist, elbow, and shoulder", throws, and some limited striking.

Aikido is not about "winning" or finishing your opponent off, but rather about being able to disengage from a chaotic and violent situation as quickly and safely as possible - specially in multiple attack - to not getting creamed on the ground :)

Aikido differs from other martial arts through its tactics of avoidance rather than direct opposition "such as in Karate" or joining in the attack "such as in Judo". ppl who practice Aikido do not oppose their opponents' movements or strength in an effort to impose some arbitrary technique or use pain compliance to achieve our goals; rather, we seek basicly to avoid attacks, if we cannot, we seek to blend with and use our opponent's own motion, strength, expectations and inertia against him.

hm, i'm, not into martial art, though i love watching the movie
