I've got a question: I've heard two very different things regarding the practical application of Aikido techniques... don't know which to believe... so I thought I'd bring them to the folks that know: Aikidoka.
1. Aikido's techniques aren't meant for real combat and only begin to be effective for fighting around the brown belt level.
2. Aikido's techniques are good for self-defense from the first belt on.
I don't mean to be rude in posting the first statement/question, I honestly don't know!
THanks
Just wanting feedback
