Re: Do you train for strikes?

Hi Kevin,
yes, since I also train fighters (mainly boxers), I usually have the opportunity to practice aikido principles under 'live' fire when I work with them.
Within the context of teaching aikido, occassionally we'll work on kicks or close range punching. With punching the emphasis is usually on dealing with the distance and how to deal with the retracting arm/fist.
