Hi guys, Just wanted to chime in as I just had my first experience of Enshin a few weeks ago. Really like the hard training and contact...
No... I haven't read the book. I only practiced Aikido for 4 years and left to pursue Chinese internal arts thinking it would provide some...

I guess it depends on what your goals are... Personally I'd suggest that before you invest a ton of money into equipment for a homey gym you get...
