Missing Aikido
by on October 17, 2007
After speaking with UFC champion Matt Hughes, I’ve watched every UFC fight and kung fu movie I can get my hands on. From Bruce Lee to Jet Li, I can’t get enough.
I must confess, I’m missing Aikido. Aikido is a martial art that is based on harmony, timing, and leverage. I wrote a bit about it in Sacred Travels, but never went into much detail. After several years of training in Aikido, I had to make a decision. To fight or write. I didn’t have time for both. So I chose to write. But every once in a while I find myself missing the discipline that comes from the dojo. Here’s a clip from my yellow belt test.
