Inner peace... you can find it with any workout. Especially if it just completely drains you...
Thanks for the input.
Where are the Aikido clubs located near Chicago? Anything out in the suburbs?
Hey everyone - I’m a complete newbie here, so any advice is appreciated.
Not looking for trouble or anything, just want to be able to hold my own if things get messy.
My confidence is pretty shaky and I'm chasing that "inner peace" thing too, so maybe something spiritual? Like Aikido?
I'm 28 (5'11", 145 lbs). Shape is okay, mostly just from riding my bike 15 miles every day.
I live out in the suburbs near Atlanta, and I work long shifts, usually 12-17 hours a day near downtown. On Saturdays I wrap up by 2, and I'm off Sundays. Usually, my one day off is Monday.
Since my schedule is all over the place, I need something where I can be flexible with training.
Thanks!
