Re: Aikido is a Martial Art and not for self-defense???

His message seems pretty clear, with little room for an underlying message.

I always go back to these, when in doubt...

You want unclear? Try this one a shihan told the class...

"There a three generals and a canary.
The first general says: "If the bird will not sing, I will kill it!"
The second general says: "If the bird will not sing, I will make it sing!
The third general says: "If the bird will not sing....I will wait.
Which general do you want to be, and which Aikido do you want to do?"

I still love that....
