"Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered. Those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid. Thus, the wise win before the fight, while the ignorant fight to win."
I started my martial arts training in 1986. I trained in Chinese Kung Fu and then switched to Aikido in 1994 on the advise of one of my Instructors. I have been doing Aikido for almost 15 years and have attended many seminars where I have seen some of the greatest Shihans who trained with O'Sensei and some great Instructors who have trained under them. I constantly do research on the Art in order to better understand it and to better myself as an Aikidoist.
It is my goal to provide not only my opinion and insight into this Art, but to also provide information that hopefully will be useful to not Aikidoist, but to all Martial Artist as well.
