Martial arts people

[Lonyo]

With all the wonderful opportunities at uni/college, I've decided to also do some sports type stuff.
I can either do 6 hours or Aikido a week, or I can do 4 hours of Ninjitsu and 4 hours of Aikido a week, ie: get good at one, or get OK at both.
Any advices on which one I should go for?

(Shodokan aikido or Bujinkan Budo Taijutso Ninjitsu)

Take knitting instead.

Don't take it from college. You won't learn squat. Although you might get better at regular fighting.

do they teach you how to shoot a hadouken

Huge generalization - at waterloo in Canada we had the first Menkyo in North America trained in Japan start an Aiki-Jujitsu school on campus.

on a good note, for some reason there seems to be a disproportionally large amount of martial arts "experts" here.

This is what I do. The instructor is a retired Spetsnaz commando.

There are 2 Aikido black belts who train us, one is in Japan at the moment in a competition, so I don't think the training will be *that* bad here either.

I'd take both for a little while and see which you enjoyed more. Those two styles are *HUGELY* different styles, so depending on what you're looking for...

Try em both, most instructors would allow you to try a class or a week free.

jiu jitsu

 

[purbeast0]

ask Nik ... he's a martial arts expert, I saw the pic of him in his black belt.

 

[Spineshank]

I personally would take Shodokan aikido

 

[Kelemvor]

Aikido. It's something you can actually use in real life should you get into a fight.

I enjoyed aikido when I was taking it. Be prepared to burn a lot of energy getting up off the mat.
