I practice aikido about five years and find it to be a perfect way to stay at least minimally fit and energetic. Idea that it is a fighting art, comes only second. However, it is still important for me, as it gives meaning to the training, which I don't find in other sport activities. And I must admit that only like during the last two years or so I managed to finally get this deeper meaning of martial arts practice which has to do a lot with the patience, not rushing things too fast and the necessity of constant concentration.
