The way of Aikido will let you decide through an entire set of moves whether you let your opponent go hurt or unhurt. I kid you not.
What more, because this is a craft totally centered around practicing your balance it will give you a superb foundation to for example immediately shoot pistols and rifles accurately on an awkward footing. You will not rely to a footing but to your physical balance.
I have shot a 15 round dia 20 millimeter group with my Tanfoglio pistol in an exercise where we continuously walked to the target starting from 25 meters away, with the meaning to empty the magazine until we reached the target.
Walking all the time and never stopping to aim. 25 to 30 millimeter groups are my normal performance. Please have a try.
