Re: Is Aikido for me?

Sup Kevin, welcome to Aikido. Im pretty much around your height and ive trained in both Wing Chun and Aikido over the years. Aikido in practical terms gave me most, the foundation of moving and avoiding as well as being able to roll and fall safely. Wing Chun, i have to say is still wot i use most when i spar with friends attributed to its fast, direct and simple techniques - without all the mumbo jumbo. I've also noticed something tt amazed me: While Wing chun is extremely efficient for cleaning up a single guy, Aikido is equally good when u're gettin multiples. Its nice to be able to move through those Mr. Smiths.

Now, if you are talking abt serious self defence or training to be efficient in the shortest amt of time, i'll suggest taking some self-defense (not martial arts) class, or if u can find, a wingchun class. Though i hope u'll never ever gonna need those skills. Speak to someone abt ur sis's bf, im sure u'll get help somewhere. Take care
