Re: I want to kick and punch!

Olivia;

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that some of us believe that in order to do good Aikido you have to get some training in Judo, Karate and perhaps Kendo. Now you can do that now or latter, one at a time or all at once. You don't have to even become expert in all, I would say a years worth once a week is more than enough. If you want more latter great but the idea is to gain the benefit each has to offer, experience different styles of attack and defense, and decide what really is right for you.
