I've just put up a new article entitled "Opening the Door" by Justin McCarthy which tells us of his perception into people's strengths and weaknesses -- and how it can be turned "inside out and upside down." It's a great read -- be sure to check it out!

It was quite well written - but out pops the age old question. Do you need to go through the "kick-ass" stage to understand Aikido.

Kick ass
 

Do you have to go through the "kick ass stage"?.
No.
Have fun
