Re: For those who came from a Striking Art ...
What I typically find lacking from most "striking art" related threads is an attempt to analyze the strikes that we find within aikido, and then to ask ourselves whether the 1-2 from boxing or kicks and strikes from karate or TKD, etc. truly fit within the techniques, tactics, and strategy of aikido.
This is not to say that those are not valid and effective martial techniques that are worth learning and understanding. But it is foolish to look to aikido to technically improve your boxing.
If we fail to understand the context of our art, can we say that we understand it at all?
