And thanks David.

That's what I was looking for with this thread. Positive and negative and a discussion of real experiences. Would you care to add any thoughts as to why the material I presented would not be useful to you in your pursuit of Aikido?

Edit:
And FWIW, David was a sceptic who bothered to actually show up!! We had fun, he remains a bit skeptical. I won't forget the fact that he showed up.
