How long will it take to be able to use aikido effectively?

As with any new pursuit everyone comes with different capabilities and talents. If you were to begin piano lessons, for example, who could say when you might be able to play a particular concerto? It is the same with Aikido. Some may have a feel for it sooner than others but usually it is those that must work at it that become the most proficient.|||A lot of Aikido guys say 10 years on avarage for you to %26quot;get it%26quot; but everyone is different so for some it will take longer and some quicker and the teacher will also have something to do with it|||The longer you learn the less aggressive you will become.|||In all honesty Aikido takes many years of practice to become effective.|||short answer it all depends on you and how well you pick up on technique and how often you train you must train every day yes even the days you dont have class.|||A long time. By the time your body is proficient with the techniques and principles though, I fear that you might find aikido%26#039;s realistic self-defense applications to be a bit lacking. Of course, if you are interested in the art outside of self defense purposes, then by all means pursue it. However, the aikido that I%26#039;ve come in contact with is ho-hum at best and very impractical outside of the rather rigid system of the class.





Good luck.
