An interview with Simone Chierchini for the Aikido Italia Network where we discuss the Yoshinkan Aikido Senshusei / Riot Police course and whether Aikido really works.

Arguably one of the toughest martial arts courses in the world and described as 11 months of hell, the international Yoshinkan Aikido Senshusei course is the subject of the book – Suck It Up Or Go Home – A True Story About The Courage To Stand Up, Keep Going And Never Give In! The book charts the author's early life from being bullied at school to the Muay Thai ring and to Tokyo, Japan. More than just a book on martial arts, it contains life lessons on courage, discipline and the determination to keep going, no matter what.
