do you know anything about aikido?

Hi , here is what i know about aikido, like one mylotter said here its defensive only, you manipulate the joints of your enemy but this style requires a lot of training for correct timing, i mean you miss you get hit , i've tried it, the joint manipulation allows you to disable an armed enemy very fast and to have them in control whithin seconds, concerning your knee injury , i can tell you i've practice this one with both injured knee, the trick with aikido is that you act as a balance and you use your enemy's power against them, you need abs and lower back strengh, if you are injured on only one leg, you might want to use only one stance, that is where your injured leg is not your support leg. you know your body listen to it, try it!

I do not know much about Aikido at all but am pretty interested in learning more about this, $-MrDollars-$

I did Aikido for a time. It is a more defensive style of martial art - in that you use the aggression of your attacker against them. You don't have to be big and strong to be effective at Aikido. Talk to the Sensei and your doctor about your knee to make sure that the movements wont aggravate the injury. There is a lot of twisting and turning so you might need to wear a brace or wait until you are more healed.

Wish I knew what Aikido was, then I could help you. Sadly i do not. All I really know about is a small time i spent with Karate last year

what i have read on wikhpedia that Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. Aikido is often translated as "the Way of unifying (with) life energy "[1] or as "the Way of harmonious spirit." [2] Ueshiba's goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attacker from injury. Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. This requires very little physical strength
