Iaido...I see a lot of similarities in Aikido and Iaido. They compliment eachother very well. I've been training Aikido for 1 year and 2 months. I started training Iaido 11 months ago. To me Iaido is an extremely focused, resolute art. There is a great amount of physical meditation going on within the strict guidelines of the techniques. I haven't quite found that place within Aikido yet. There's so much to take in with Aikido. Lots of big picture stuff that I have yet to grasp. I hope to get there some day.
