Aikido is focused on self-defense according to this report.
Me, I'm having nothing what so ever against aikido - it's a great art. But I do wonder if what they're saying here is: The other arts are not?
Story:
Watching the children's aikido class at Northeast Aikikai on Parkhurst Road, an observer notices differences between this and other martial arts.
During aikido practice, students work on defensive and rolling maneuvers, as opposed to the punches and kicks one would expect.
Aikido, according to Kim Kinnear, who works as a volunteer instructor with the class, is "focused on self-defense."
