hit me
well,
when i was in japan, at our dojo, (Koyama sensei's Kyoto Aikikai dojo) there was one guy.
his name is Obata san.
He cam to our Aikido dojo when he was already a 4th dan in Daito Ryu.
other people used to say that his sensei taught him how to get hit but not hurt.
and really once our senpai said "ze'ev, punch him as you like"
at first i was kind of gentle, but eventualy i was punching and kicking him as hard as i could.
just to mention that i did not hit his groin not his neck and other dangerous vital points.
I must admit that it looked as if it really didnt hurt him at all.
His Aikido was fantastic and that was the only time he let our senpai let us hit him...
if you ever come accross him, please send him my regards.
