Anybody has any idea what aikido is all about? What are its benefits? Pros and cons?

Question

I would like to learn Aikido, but the class is right after my Taekwondo class. So I would like to know more about Aikido, thanks in advance!

I have studied Taekwondo for almost eight years now and i'm a 1st dan.

Answer 1

I say aikido is an awesome martial art to learn.
Pros = great defensive techniqe to learn - it is based as letting the other persons weight and movement gethim on the ground.
Good to learn as defense if you already have a more rounded martial art like Taekwondo.
Cons = It is mostly defense it largely depends on opponent
Deciding which one to use in real fight if you have too many styles.
I would say go for it.
