One of my friends is an aikido instructor. He never tries to claim its the best style,he just likes it. I just cant get into what I hear about it. It goes against everything i learned in my martial arts studies which is sparring in your face wrestling,bending limbs and choking fuckers.It's crazy. I know a few people that have been practicing it for many years. They aren't that bad but I stopped trying to have a discussion about it a long time ago.
To them it seems like more a ritual and philosophy than a martial art
