I had thought of doing aikido before starting with seki, thought it would put less strain on my knee.  did  one of the guys who taught it Shari have a beard?  One of the instructors i contacted was/is an art teacher who does a lot of ice sculputure in very cold places such as Alaska etc.

It would be the back I'd be most worried about...

Thanks for the offer Shari, dont think I could take up another interest and square it with the wife, she thinks I'm doing too much as it is! haha. Anyway I've got enough on my plate trying to make progress with karate
