Re: "Aikido is BS"

The reason most people start a martial art is because they want to defend themselves. They have many choices but instead of advising them of their choices we just try to reel them in like a fish. For people who want instant self-defence Aikido is mostly BS. But many want more than that. At the other extreme, we have people who have done violent martial arts for years and have just gotten tired of it - for them Aikido is the ultimate mystery and they love it, though they would never be able to explain it.
