- You become much more aware of what is going on around you. You improve posture and confidence, which along with awareness makes you appear a lot less like the perfect victim in the street. Two kinds of responses to first contact are more likely to trigger an attack: if you are easily provoked or easily scared. Aikido practice promotes neither, it will train you to keep your calm and walk away if possible
- You learn to produce an appropriate amount of force. If you are attacked by someone you care about, your friends who are intoxicated, sick or just plain angry, you don't want to harm them. Aikido is not about trading punches, it's about controlling a situation at the first sign of conflict or even before that. This is one of the reasons it is the preferred martial art for many law enforcement officers and prison workers
- A huge part of the training is about absorbing force without getting hurt, most prominently when falling to the ground. By practicing Aikido if you fall off of your bike on asphalt you increase your chances to walk away without bruises. You feel your body relaxing instead of tensing up and you instinctively protect your head from hitting the ground. It happens before you can think, and it is a great feeling afterwards when you realise how deep down your spine your Aikido practice have propagated
