This is so true. Aikido is fun and it was a big part of my life (professionally) for a little bit over 7 years, I do miss it too! But I think it is somewhat more taxing physically than most other sports, especially on the joints (something I overlooked at the time, but bit me later on after many years).

It was my pleasure @pixelhuntersam, welcome again, and I hope you will be a regular around Hive too. It's a great place with one of the best communities you can find online! 😉
