In a demo a few years ago a capable karate instructor was assisting me. I was talking to the audience and he thought I wanted him to attack but I was not ready. His shoulder dislocated and my left forearm split from the wrist to the elbow. I believed Aikido was about not getting hurt!
As we were practicing against left jabs in close a student opened up my eyebrow. I believed Aikido was about not getting hurt.
Just as the sword slipped into my left arm I believed Aikido was about not getting hurt.
As my right knee dislocated when a wayward Uki rolled into it on a crowded mat I believed Aikido was about not getting hurt.
As my ribs snapped because I was a little to slow and not off line I believed Aikido was about not getting hurt.
Last week as the hamstring n my left leg gave way and turned it into Jell-O I believed Aikido was About not getting hurt.
As I woke up this morning I believed Aikido is about not getting hurt
