Martial Arts/Self-Defense

Have you ever seen someone use martial arts in a real fight?

Martial arts are becoming more and more popular and are being used in many different ways. One such way is in real fights. People who have seen someone use martial arts in a real fight often find it to be a very impressive display of skill and technique. Martial arts can be used as a form of self-defense as well as to gain a competitive edge in a fight. It is important to remember, however, that martial arts should only be used as a last resort and that all safety precautions should be taken. With the right training and discipline, martial arts can be a great way to stay safe and protect oneself in a dangerous situation.

Is aikido as hard on your body as judo is?

Aikido and Judo are both martial arts that involve physical contact, but the level of physicality and contact differs significantly between the two. Aikido is a non-aggressive martial art that uses joint locks and throws to subdue an attacker without causing injury. Judo, on the other hand, is a competitive martial art that involves a lot of body contact and throws. Aikido is less strenuous on the body than Judo as it does not involve contesting against an opponent.
