Just an aikido newbie here, but I will put in my $ .02. I think you have to look at what the purpose of the newscast was. A segment called "fit for friday", seems to me like a weekly piece designed to get couch potatoes to
try new things for fitness. If you show people going at it like a bat outta hell, taking huge breakfalls and being hurled across the mat. The people you are trying to reach are going to think, "I can't do that; aikido must not be for ordinary people." That is the misconception I had about aikido until 5 yrs of BJJ practice made me think, heck how bad could it be? I'll give it a try.
FWIW
