Introduction

Hello

My name is Jacob, I'm 28 and currently living in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I've been training Brazilian jiu-jitsu on and off for 7 years, and a bit of MMA as well. However, over the last year I've started feeling that BJJ is not for me, and I'm now looking for another martial art. I've had a trial-lesson at a nearby aikido club, which I found very interesting. I see a lot of similarities between aikido and BJJ, but I like the self-defense focus of aikido better than the sport focus of BJJ.

I hope to gain a lot of knowledge here, and have some interesting discussions

Greetings and welcome to you, Jacob. I never studied Aikido, but, it has always fascinated me. Hope to see you around the site..........

Side note, I do have a few friends that study Aikido. You are right about the self defense aspects.

Welcome to Martial Talk, Jacob :bows:. A pleasure to welcome another West European to our ranks - two in one day (a Dane and a Finn) is pretty special .

Welcome to MT. I am a Hapkidoist, not an Aikidoist, but there are similarities. I think you will enjoy it.
