Hi
My primary MA (if you want to call it that) is boxing, or rather the one I practiced the longest, I also have experience in Shotokan Karate and I've tried Aikido which is what brings me here. I live in a rather remote location in northern canada, and my options are relatively limited however we seem to get a lot of Aikido practitioners. I was hoping to request some information on some of the instructors and their pedigree. My main concern iv had with aikido is how compliant it is, I've noticed that if I resist it usually rendered the techniques innefective. Recently I went to a dojo that teaches Aiki jujutsu, I enjoyed what I saw but I still have a few concerns, I will post more details on the subject in the aiki jujutsu thread, hopefully someone will be able to help me make decisions. :)
