Re: Favourite technique in Aikido?

When people ask me this question, I always think of Go Rin No Sho, where Musashi says, effectively, "you shouldn't have favourites".

However, not having reached that enlightened state, my favourite technique is either tenchinage or kotegaishi (I'm not just unenlightened, I'm indecisive).

And for armed combat:

Quote:
My weapons of choice are:

The kusari-gama
The tetsubo

and, due to my enthusiasm for things of a piratical nature:

The banjo

It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.
