There is something like taiji, something like judo....
I liked it for the discipline, and that its a non combat
sport. Problem with it. When used on people, those
people get broken joints...........which is kinda deadly.
Except their main principles are different,
akido is based on the concept of aki, the balance of body and
qi. Take away that balance and any agressor cannot commit any more
agression.
taijiquan or in japanese, butosankempo, focuses on negating
or redirecting of the force being used against you.
