Mark,

I have a question for you. You've done judo for a very long time; which do you feel is more practical, aikido or judo (I don't want to start an aikido vs. judo war here, just an opinion)?

And I don't mean which you're better at.

From my limited experience, much of aikido seems impractical (yet fun training), although, I suppose, it does familiarize you with body mechanics (for when you are good enough to act instinctively).

"Aikido works, but not your aikido", if that's the case - and I'm sure it is - then there are way too many mediocre students out there.
