Bonjourno!
Hail stout yoeman and welcome n stuff
erm yeah Aikido is very kewl, and brilliant for self defence there are alsorts of things you will be able to learn, although i would say have patience and wonder too much how your aikido will defend you in a fight, i think you'll find that if you train regularly things will just make sense to you, so if you ever do get into a fight you will use instinct instread of thinking about the moves
your sensei will probebly show you how to disarm someone with a broken bottle or knife (Tanto) even staffs (Jo) and swords (Bokken) the latter would be useful with that spate of ppl going round hacking others up with samurai swords imagine the look on his face when he's on the ground with the blade against his throat!
anyhoo i think you'll enjoy aikido its mega fun
