Aikido is actually not a soft art nor a beginner's art.
After having taken the style for nearly a year an a half I'm still at a quite basic level. It's perfect for self-defense because it's based solely on self-defense. The philosophy here is to immobilize your attacker and cause them severe pain.
Aikido is, in fact, a sword style. Nearly all moves that we do in Aikido (hands or weapons) evolve into some kind of sword technique.
