Aikido is an excellent training method for using your mind and body.
Through the practice, you will naturally acquire the “know-how for actualizing your fullest potential.” For this reason, you will begin to advance quickly in other activities as you advance in your practice of Aikido (As the saying goes, “Aikido applies to all sorts of martial arts”).
Theoretical aspects aside, the physical exercise of Aikido is fascinating on its own (practitioners of Aikido tend to be fit).
My answer to your question about whether you will grow stronger by practicing Aikido would vary depending on the content in which you would apply this strength or your definition of strength. (I will address this topic in “note,” although that page is only Japanese.)
