Re: What do you get from Aikido that you didn't get from a previous art.

Thanks for the responses folks.

I suppose the biggest issue I have is that I don't fully understand what I am looking for in a martial art. However, the comments about never feeling comfortable close in in karate strike a very familiar chord to my previous long range sparring experiences.

In essence, whilst I very much enjoyed Tae Kwon Do, the further along it's path I got, the less I was convinced about it being something I would devote so much time and effort to. As a result, although I may return to it, at this time I know I need a change.

May be a bit of a simple question from a newbie but, in what way is Aikido "infinitely changeable"?

Many thanks,
Rich
