Metal Man Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 Well, there are many different styles of Aikido. Mine just happens to be a "harder" style (I hate using that word). Nihon Goshin Aikido
Kensai Posted January 16, 2003 Author Posted January 16, 2003 Well I try.................. Aikido is like cake. The different styles cut the cake differently, but its still the same cake.

aiki40 Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 Study Nihon Goshin Aikido(NGA) for 5yrs when I lived in Tampa, FL. I have been currently studying Hombu Aikido for about a year now here in Oakland, CA. NGA is smaller cicrles, strikes, throws, joint locks, and pressure points. Even though people may consider NGA to be hard stlye, it's varity of techniques allows one to be aggressive towards an attacker.. which may be approriate or one may be more passive towards thier attacker, you may apply technique which may not cause any injury towards your attacker. In my Hombu stlye it seems to be alot more passive... But then again it all depend on your instructor...
CheekyMusician Posted January 18, 2003 Posted January 18, 2003 I don't study Aikido, but I'd like to start. I'm contemplating joining the local club in the next week, but I don't know if it would end up getting in the way of my karate. Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.
Insanity Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 I do Aikido, Iwama-Ryu. just started a month ago. lol. "Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole body and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.''-Einstein
Kensai Posted January 19, 2003 Author Posted January 19, 2003 Cheekymusician, I think Aikido would really benefit both your striking and stand up grappling abilitys. Also as Aikido is very evasive and Karate in general is'nt, they would compliment eachother. But like I have said before Aikido takes a long long time before you can use it. I have resently relised this, due to the fact that to do your 3rd Dan in the federation I am in takes nearly 11 years! Insanity Iwama is a really cool style. I have one of Morihihiro Saitos books. Looks very similar to what I do. Best of luck in your studies.
raybri-san Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 i do also aikido i'm 3trd dan aikikai and what i found the most beutyfol thing about aikido are the technique's you do not see for those you have to practice it to able to understant what it means and feels like true victory is self victory
kilo Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 I do Karl Geis/Fugakukai Aikido which is an off shoot of Tomiki Ryu Aikido. Kendo is like starwars and everyone gets to be Darth Vader."Luke, I am your sensei"
