Re: Real aikido is not just for the dojo

Mary you did. I said

Aikido helps you become centred, relaxed and aware in all aspects of your life.

Which you quoted and you said, I hear it also cures male pattern baldness and bad breath, too. (well let's hope so!)
Ok. I'm still waiting to for you to quote the part where I said that aikido training can't help you in your life off the mat.

So what are you arguing about? Carina's words that it's a way of life? She's talking about her aikido. You know nothing about it.
Others have pointed this out, so I won't belabor the point, but she didn't say "my aikido", although that may be what she meant. In her original post, she said "real aikido". Currently, you are putting words in her mouth, and in mine as well.

It's cool for you or anyone else to say they are not interested in that aspect. But don't tell me what aikido is for me. That's intellectually arrogant.
Aaaaand another strawman, as I have not done that nor anything like it.
