Lunaries JoshuaKenzo I love this woman. xd What people do with the techniques they learn is up to them. For the rest, aside agreeing and pointing some bad aspects about the fact that hippies are so present in some martial arts, I don't see you disagreeing with me. Combining aikido with any other martial art whatsoever can not pose a problem in the practicing of the other art. If anything, it can only do good. The same applies for Tai Chi. Of course we're talking proper aikido and Tai Chi here, not Bullshitkido and Tai Cheap. LOL You keep telling me you love me and I just might start believing ya. wink I don't diagree with you at all. In fact, I'm looking to stray away from Aikdio a bit after I feel that I have a good solid grounding in it. Cross training does a world of good and even my sensei has crossed trained in judo and karate. Tai Chi is generally good for elder people because it is slower and more meditative. As with all martial arts, there is a soft way of practicing it and a hard way. You can train as hard as you want. Often, it's personal and your sensei's choice. I love that. "Tai Cheap" That's great *laughs* One good way to spot how good a dojo is, not by seeing what federations or what lineage, but by actually going to go watch a class and see how the sensei teaches. See if the teacher practices too what he/she preaches, how willing is he/she to be hands on, and how much he/she sweats with the student. I find that better than any credentials the school might present. I'd have to disagree with that. Tai Chi cannot do anything bad for you, no matter what age. It's not just for old people. Shaolin monks practice Tai Chi from their very beginnings. As for aikido, at least within the Japanese system, no harm can come from practicing that either. If you practice kendo, you will find it easier to attain the movements, and the using of the "center" makes things easier to understand. If you practice judo, you will get a better feel for your opponent. Now I haven't ever done karate, but I know for sure that it would definitely help you in your way of movement. What harm can aikido and Tai Chi do? None. Can they do good things for you? Yes. What's the worst they could do to you? Not teach you what it is you want to learn. I stick by it. Aikido is an ideal crosstrainer. So is Tai Chi. Though Tai Chi does have a favor within Chinese arts, as has aikido for Japanese ones. I think you should also look at the teacher himself. Does he know what he is doing? He might not sweat as much, but does he give examples? (I can imagine at an older age you'd want to take it easy). Does he have a mindset that corresponds to that of a serious martial artist?

Does he have a mindset that corresponds to that of a serious martial artist? My point is that whether it is good or bad depends on how you use it. Just like any another tool or skill, it has a great capability to be used for both good and bad. Oh and I don't mean that Tai Chi is good only for senior folks. I just meant that seniors prefer to practice Tai Chi more than other martial arts. Aikido is an ideal crosstrainer. As with my sensei's case, crossed with Judo, it's lethal. I'm not sure about Tai Chi being a favourite among Chinese arts though. Wing Chun and traditional Kung Fu seems to be more so. (That I know because I am Chinese.) As for what the teacher does, I entirely agree with you. Though I always enjoy sensei's with a sadistic sense of humour...

I love this woman. xd I know what you're trying to say, and I agree with that. What I'm saying is, you're on about the wrong topic. It's about wether aikido would be good to complement hapkido. To evaluate, we will assume the practitioner is serious in both and has a good teacher for both. What he does with it is entirely up to him afterwards, but not relevant to the question. Unless you're insinuating the combination of hapkido and aikido makes people violent. In which case... xd And I like my teachers somewhat sadistic and somewhat playful. With a good dose of easy going. xd Sadistic humor is fun when pain is something you'll undoubtedly encounter (which is the case in judo, karate, TKD, and other competitive sports)

Haha serves me right for not reading the entier thread before opening my mouth...er..sorta... Nopes I'm not insinuating anything but I think hapkido and aikido is too similiar for much to be gained out of it in the long term. The biggest thing that can be gained from hapkido is probably learning how to kick which the aikido curriculum does nto cover. Hahah playful, in a sort of..painful sort of way *nods nods* Like sensei keeps trying to hammer my toes when I finally got him pinned down...And he does it with that grin of his...

Uggae sorry for my ignorance but what exactly is hap ki do caues ive only seen it before in mortal kombat and thats not a very good scorce of martal arts information. Tell me about it. You should see what Vale Tudo looks like in MK. Same with Tae Kwon Do (The person fights in double knife hand stance, which is a stance you would never use in a fight) and Tang Soo Do (MK's Tang Soo Do made me wanna barf). But anyway, Hapkido means the The Way of Coordinated Power. I do a bit of Hapkido. Basically, it's like the kicking techniques of Tae Kwon Do, the joint locking and breaking techniques of Aikido and the throwing aspects of Judo put in one. It's very technical. It's a great style you should do, and is very interesting.

Roth I'm just wondering who takes it? And alos I'm planning on taking another martial art along with Hap Ki Do in a few month and just wondering what martial art would be good to train in, that would be a good spawn off of Hap Ki Do's principals. I was thinking Ai Ki Do it's hapkido and yes i take it along with pi gua,dragon (yes dragon),and jojutsu (not jujutsu jojustu is a weapon martial art requiring a staff or pole).

I was thinking Ai Ki Do I wouldn't take aikido and hapkido at the same time. I have in the past, and they are very very similiar. Same with ju-jutsu (though it was a modern variant of it). You'd be better off taking more lessons in hapkido, or finding an art that is very different. Anyway, how far along are you in hapkido? If you've only been doing it for a year or so I'd suggest only learning hapkido for a while, hapkido has such a huge curriculum, you could train in it for so long and always see something new.
