fight back with the opposite.

Sal showed us what aikido was on Monday and used one of the students to demonstrate. (pretty funny) Aikido is the opposite of fighting with violence, it's a martial art that uses harmony. Instead of hurting the other person, you fight back with being nice and peace. Us, as a society, were taught to handle problems by fighting and hurting the other person. However, this type of martial art teaches people to do the exact opposite. Their trained to make peace and handle problems without hurting one another. If everyone did this, then noone will get hurt. Usually, after a fight, the one who loses wants payback and the whole drama starts all over again. It's a never ending conflict because it solves NOTHING. Aikido can solve the problem by talking it out and telling the other person that you don't want to hurt them. Internally, I think that it's better that way even though it takes a lot of training because we aren't use to it and we let our anger take over.
