Linguistics / Looking for better grammar | | English term or phrase: a sentence containing 'only' | Nishio sensei, aprart from aikido practiced some other budo, such as iado, jodo., etc.
What woulld be 'more normal' to say in English:
1. Aikido was not the only thing that Nishio sensei practiced. (I think it's slightly better)
2. Nishio sensei practiced not only aikido.
Or may be there is some better choice? |

| | English translation:Aikido was not the only discipline | Explanation:
I would go with 1 but maybe change "thing" to "discipline" or another more definite word encompassing Aikido and other similar arts. Or art, if it's general arts in the wider context. |
