Aikido featured on the learning channel
The T.V. program "Ultimate 10" featured Aikido along with 9 other martial arts as the Ultimate 10 martial arts. Unfortunatly, they kind of lumped Aikido and Iaido together and portrayed Aikido as a somewhat mystical, cult like practice. The sensei they interviewed was a Japanese man who was a "Reverend".
The program also featured BJJ, Ninjitsu, Tai boxing, Okinauian (sp?) Karate, Shaolin kung-fu (that's what they called it anyway), Mauv Krava (sp?), and a couple of others that I can't recall.
I bet all the Judoka felt snubbed! Judo was not featured (unless you lump it together with BJJ).
