Many thanks to all those who replied with valuable insights and suggestions.
Some came directly to me and when I have time I will summarise them and make
them available to the list (together with my experience if it proves
useful).
I had second thoughts immediately after typing aikido because I thought it
might be misunderstood. Be reassured its philosophy is to use it self
defence only and it places value on achieving mental calm.
Thanks again to all
