Aikido

This week in class Sal showed us what aikido was.  He demonstrate with students in class and it was pretty funny. Aikido is the opposite of fighting with violence its a martial art which uses harmony. It has something to do with energy. Instead of hurting the other person, you fight back with being nice and peaceful. Us, as a society, are taught to handle problems by fighting and hurting the other person. We get angry and it gets us no where. However, this type of martial art teaches people to do the exact opposite. They train to make peace and handle problems without hurting one another. If everyone did this, then no one will get hurt. Aikido can solve the problem by talking it out and telling the other person that you dont want to hurt them. Internally, I think it's better that way even though it takes a lot of training because we aren't use to it and we let our anger take over.
