Greetings All,
I was wondering what benefits you have received from practicing Aikido?
In my case, Aikido has helped me with the following:
I can give a better massage by reading the subtle movements of my client's body.
Breakfalls (icy ground, falling from a bike, a very practical skill).
Better conflict management.
Better understanding of angles and circles.
Easier time to find my center and move from center.
Mixed with Kenpo (EPAK) be able to generate a lot of power with less effort.
Mixed with FMA knife drills and disarms (also energy drills) come easier.
Mixed with Silat get a better feel for body manipulations and take downs.
What about you guys?
