Re: Picking up Aikido

I am going to observe an aikido class today, since I am interested in studying a new art. I am a black belt in karate already, so I was wondering how quickly I would or would not be able to pick up aikido. Can anyone tell me some major differences and simularities between the two? Any information would be helpful.
All the answers are on the mat. Observing a practice, watching a video, pictures in a book or explanations from people will only give you misleading answers. Go to the class with no preconceived ideas on what Aikido is. Don't sit and observe, ask to join in immediately.

Have Fun

Go ahead, tread on me.
