Re: A tiny woman trying to be a fighter.
Just want to second Janets comment. Makes me think of 'Million dollar baby' which I saw a couple of days ago... A fighter is something quite different than an aikido ka... In my book anyway :)

I want to point out that I have not expressed any opinion. I have simply asked a question.

Re: A tiny woman trying to be a fighter.
Amy,
The core principle of Aikido is to dissolve conflicts. A story goes like this: A martial arts person had a fight with a Karate guy, lost and told his friends that he will train for the next 10 yrs and come back to fight again. He then had a fight with a Judo guy, lost and told his friends that he will train for the next 10 yrs and come back to fight the Judo guy again. Then he had an encounter (notice I use the word encounter) with an Aikido guy and lost but said nothing. His friends ask him why is it that he wasn't going to train for the next 10 yrs and fight again. His answer. "because we are friends now". A fighter can mean a lot of things. In Aikido, you compete within yourself, trying to better yourself everyday. Not to win over others but to win over yourself. If you really want to learn to defend yourself, the best way is learn how to shoot a hand gun. It is faster to learn and more deadly. Martial arts nowadays is not so much as to defend yourself against others than as to improve one's physical body and mental spirit. Just my opinion. |
