Great post . I also studied martial arts for many years when I was younger. I did Tong Long, praying mantis style and also Tai Chi. The latter uses a lot of the same principals as aikido, using the opponents chi in a similar way like in push hands. As I also studied Philosophical Daoism academically for over 10 years I also learnt to apply the principals to daily living.
I found you through ’s list. Every time I read a post I click on a few of the people in the list and have found some great people to follow. It’s so cool what this list does for the #steemit community because it is so hard to find new people and good posts on the platform on your own. Great community🙏
