The nature of your involvement in the martial arts definitely depends on your mindset. Many schools involve some form of physical fitness activity. Others may not, but that does not mean the techniques cannot be used to make you fit. Taking ukemi from aikido techniques can be very strenuous, and as such, make you more fit. Think of it as the equivalent of around a hundred sit ups every class, if you get thrown that much. Because, like in life, if you get knocked down, you get right back up.
You will get out of it what you put into it.



Sorry to threadjack.

That's a very interesting rule. Where did you learn of it? Who would be considered a grand master today by that rule?
