Re: Aikdio vs. someone using a boxing style?

I didn't read everything, so please forgive if I repeat something.

1)Shiho-nage's pretty ambitious for one yr. of practice, drunk and against a boxer (if he's experienced)...actually, after rereading this, shiho-nage is pretty ambitious for one yr. without the other stuff.

2)To move your hands fast, they need to be "attached" to your hips...and you have to use the hips to move.

3)If your ukes are attacking recklessly, I'd chalk it up to a bunch of newer folks who don't understand it. Ideally, I think, the attacks are controlled and authentic.

4)No bi-ped has good balance. Get up along side of him, grab by the neck and spin.

Just my thoughts.
