When you start Aikido you don’t really know what to expect. You might have an idea that since it’s a martial art, it would involve punching, kicking and dealing with a situation by using force and being aggressive. But Aikido is not like that. It’s more about using your opponent’s strength against them. At the start you probably will get mixed up in all the different techniques and steps. But after time you will get used to them. But it will be highly unlikely that overnight you will become a black belt. So when you start off it might be hard at first and you might have second thoughts. But then you stop and think, and you will realise how fun it is and what a good time you are having. That’s the best thing about it. It might be hard one day and easier the next. So you come to the dojo not knowing to expect. I know that I enjoy Aikido and that when you start everyone is really friendly. So why don’t you give Aikido a go? If you do I’ll see you there.
