All rights reserved. Strange as it may sound, such a martial art is practiced at UT's Alumni Gym. The gentle art is Aikido.
Most attacks are linear, and the basic movements of Aikido are circular in nature.
The Aikidoist harmonizes or joins the aggressive line, and converts it into a circular motion, unbalancing and rendering the attacker helpless. In most cases, the attacker is literally swept off his feet. Aikido is a metaphor for a way to solving problems in your life. Aikido is a dignified Japanese martial art. Knowledge of Aikido can come in handy at unexpected times.
