Greetsings all,
I have encountered a opinion in my travels that Aikido is not an "effective" MA, that is has no purpose. Many people seem to regarde Aikido as a "defenceive" MA to be some how less than most other forms. Or that Aikido exists only for people to "worship" O'Sensei. Now I in no way agree with these ideas, my question is have you encountered this in your training, and if so do you think there is a way that we as martial artists can help to bring understanding to people about that art of Aikido?
