Aikido Secrets Everyone Should Know
In a fight, you can make a counter attack in the hopes that the aggressor will be subdued. Or there is an alternate course to take which does not resort to force - it is a technique one can learn in aikido.
Aikido is a martial art in which the person blocks the moves of an opponent by using the hands. Anyone who wants to learn Aikido may not be able to move as fast as Steven Segal in one of his action films, but can still be effective in combat.
Martial arts cannot be learned by merely watching others do it in the movies or on television. You can read about movements detailed in step by step processes in a magazines, but nothing compares to learning from a Sensei.
There is a saying, "First become a student in order to be called a Master." This means learning the basic rules starting from the moment you enter the dojo (training room) until the class is over. During the course of any particular lesson you may surely feel some pain after falling down a few times on the mat, but this is not to torture the pupil. This is all part of the training, which the student must do the basics, properly, in order to move into the more advanced classes.
One of the secrets to discover in mastering Aikido is that timing is everything. There is a bit of hand to eye coordination in Aikido, just like in any sport. But here, the individual learns the best moment to redirect the same force back at an aggressor, blocking an attack.
Another secret in using Aikido has to do with the wrist. Training will focus on the wrists until one can smoothly put one hand over the opponent's, in various techniques, and counter an attack.

The most important secret in mastering Aikido is being persistent with the technique you are learning. The arms will surely feel heavy after practicing a few moves - that feeling of energy being drained. But by being able to do the same thing, again and again, despite these difficulties, you can become a true martial artist.
People who want to check on how well they are doing can sign up for Tomiki Aikido. This is a competition held by various clubs in which the student will compete with some of the best in the country.
Those who do well here can move up to the next skill level, just as in karate, where a student moves from one belt to another. After many years, when the student has learned all the secrets that go with Aikido, you can be called a master and even open a dojo of your own...
