I guess I imagine personal growth changing more than just "how I handle a personal situation involving the potential for violence." At least, I know that when I think of AiKiDo in my daily life it has changed me in sort of deep ways that affect every interpersonal situation I face as well as simply my own attitude towards myself.
The idea (and you are certainly not required to endorse this; I'm just telling you about my experience) is that AiKiDo changed my perspective on the world. As such, it has probably also affected my politics.
In my particular case, I don't think its effect on my politics is all that great compared to its effect on more personal things, but that probably also reflects the importance that I attach to politics in my life.
