... you think it's apprpriate that the Site Kiosk browser on the hotel computer you are using has a rotating yin/yang symbol

.... you read post #50 and think that sums up how you felt when you cam back after sixteen years.

... you are reading this at a hotel where you will stay while attending a seminar your sensei is teaching

.... you are not ashamed that you originated this thread

I feel soo accepted!

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

Real Aikido addicts are not posting here - they are on the mat

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

No, those are the hardcore Aikido addicts. People posting here aren't there yet, but we are still hooked.

:)

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

Get up, Emma.

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

1. You never miss a class.
2. You can spend hours at a time on web sites such as this one.
3. You practice ukemi in your basement after every one else is asleep. (usually on concrete floor because it takes to long to pull out the mattress)
4. You practice ukemi in you sleep and wake up after slamming into a wall.
5. You find this amusing.

:ai: :ki: :do:

Hmmm, that mean you may also suffer from aikiweb addiction. See:

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

Hey, I'd be on the mat if I could, the mats where I practice are used by other groups too, so they're not always open for me to practice. Plus I don't have anybody to practice with at random times.

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

id like to be on the mat ... i would ... but then Id have the conflict of being away from this website ....
like the psycologist says ... "baby steps!"

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

Unless you suffer from both Aikido addiction and Aikiweb addiction ( http://www.aikiweb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8227 ); then you're really screwed. :)

*weeps by extending ki on my tears*
My dojo is closed during the day, and only open during class time. My sensei is married with two kids, so he actually has a life outside of Aikido. :disgust:

Yeah, next thing you know people will be waring clothes other than their gis in daily life! :eek:

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

.......if u are doing aikido, all your friends are doing aikido, and all your family is doing aikido,and everybody u know are doing aikido...

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

If you only take "Aikido Vacations" (trips to seminars)

Just got back from San Francisco!!!!

Jeanne :p

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

I took my wife on vacation twice last year. To Albany, NY for the 20th Anniversary of Faust Sensei's teaching in the Capital District and to New York city for the Christmas seminar at NY Aikikai. She does not do Aikido but she is still an addict. Me too I guess.

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

You mean that I'm not supposed to be wearing this at work? :confused:

Damn!

Wondered why everyone was looking at me funny. :o

*Hides suburito under desk.*

Cheers,

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

I dunno, but there are some pretty weired people out there! I really ought to take my boken with me wherever I go, just to be safe. :)

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

You might be an aikido addict if you practically made a verbal prenuptial agreement with your wife that you will never stop training, ever. :straightf

(Besides, the time apart keeps her from being sick of me.) :D

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

:D

Gotta remember to use that as my excuse.

*Goes back to wiping tea off the monitor.*

Cheers,

Matt.

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

You're welcome, Matt. And on a serious note, you really shouldn't be eating or drinking anything if you go into a section labled "humor." Just a thought.

:)

Re: You might be an Aikido addict if ....
 

I know, I know. My fault. It was a learning experience. :)

Cheers,

Matt.
