Honestly I think Angus actually brings attention back to my initial question: why do some people hate aikido.

Attitude.

Now I may be wrong but Angus very much sounds like someone new to Aikido who read up on a lot of the literature and swallowed every word. Then turns around and preaches it like gospel.

I think thats really the only thing I don't like about Aikido, the internet/book club 'enlightened' people who regurgitate everything they hear or read but don't really understand what their saying.

In many cases I figure these new students are so overjoyed at finding aikido that they preach and with poor delivery end up turning people against aikido.

If you're hungry, keep moving.
If you're tired, keep moving.
If you value you're life, keep moving.

You don't own what you can't defend
