A few of the guys in my dojo train regularly in one of their back yards. It is usually a brutal affair that turns into less technique and more let's see if I can knock the other guy down. My own training outside the dojo sometimes bumps me into some Aikido friends. The training we do is usually a fair trade of ideas, safe and easy going so we can learn each others skills. Although... One day my school ran a little seminar as a fund raiser in my friends Aikido School. Filipino Kali. The head instructor Put the beat down on my cranium and the matches turned into stick grappling... ;-)

They were soft sticks but man... Aikido Guy can hit!!!
Thanks All...
