You really think one could learn the body-work which is the foundation of aikido (and also for the correct application of aikido's atemi), just by hitting a bag in a non-aikido way?
didn't know there is an aikido way of hitting a bag. i must have been doing wrong then, because the bag has been talking smack to me lately. i kept telling me that i hit like a girl, and my mama can hit harder than that. i guess i have to learn the aikido way of hitting so i can hit harder than my mama. although, she had known to say that she can bitch-slap me so hard that i would see my ancestors. i have always wondered what my ancestors looked like, but never had the nerve to piss-off my mama. didn't want to see my ancestors with a big hand-print on my face and the left side of my cheek ended up on the right side. would be kinda hard to explain to your ancestors.
