Re: Aikido and Weight Lifting

It is amazing how many people pursue martial arts without at least understanding how to change the height of their hips under load. For that reason alone I believe weight bearing exercise is a critical element in martial arts training. It just plain makes sense to pursue a foundation of general physical preparation if you wish to improve in any physical discipline.
