Re: Aikido and kicks

Agreed, but the distances involved differ enough that standard methods of closing the distance become more problematical. Kicks I'd place more as starting at bokken distances than empty hand, with the additional complication that if the kicker knows how to use their knees well for close in work, you have a nice flexible weapon to deal with.
