Aside from a whole lot of sweating and getting up of off the floor Aikido to me is a physical thing at present, mainly because I have only been doing it for 6 months!! I can see the philosophy and Spiritual side of it and can relate to that, however, because of my short time in this I cannot really say that either of those has a great impact on me YET!!! As I progress in my studies I am sure that will change, but for now I am having enough to deal with in learning the basics well enough to be able to progress!!
that said, I also agree with Konni in that Aikido is one of the most enjoyable past times I have ever taken part in!!
