I had studied Kung Fu for 7 years. I was going to start taking Tai Chi to help build my internal power, but one of my instructors said I should take Aikido because it would make me a more well rounded martial artist and also it was more practical for self defense on the street. I went to a dojo and watched a class and thought to myself, "This will be easy! No kicks, no punches, and I already know how to take a fall since I did a little judo!" Of course I started studying and found I was very much mistaken. I loved the art itself, as well as the challenge and now I can't get enough. I'm going for my NiDan this year and I still feel as though I don't know anything.
