Honestly?

I liked the way it looked in books. There's a little throwaway British martial arts almanac I bought for $10. They somehow managed to capture the beauty of aikido in the pictures. Got me interested into researching more abt Aikido.

Then I read "Going for a Walk in the world" online and thought this stuff was right up my alley.

Finally I tried it. I found it strange and pleasurable.

The end ;-)

(actually, I also wanted to try something a little less ruff 'n' tumble than the Submission wrestling I was doing 3x week)
