Aikido - The Way of Harmony (of Spirit)

I've been interested in Martial Arts for a long time. I studied Taekwondo and Karate in Australia for several years until an injury forced me to give it up. After a (long) break, I decided to take up Karate again. At one of the Karate classes a fellow student mentioned that there was an Aikido club not far from where I live. I have to confess that I didn't know much about Aikido, so I went along on a Saturday morning to check it out.

Right away, I was sold! This was exactly what I had been looking for. A beautiful and elegant (when done correctly ) martial art that relies on flowing movement and technique, rather than brute force.
