Re: ?? Exaggeration in Aikido ??

Well, exactly! Visualizing or reminiscing learned techniques, will only strengthen you're memory/insight to the techniques. But to ponder-up Aikido moves that will theoretically take down a Ju-doka, or BJJ ground fighter based on "Zero knowledge" is both wrong, and will not be anywhere near as effective as actually going to a Judo, or BJJ club, to get a true sense of what Judo/BJJ is all about. If you agree with the above, then perhaps you will agree that to try and convince others of, or make arguments against others, about something you know nothing about, is double wrong; at least, it is in my mind. Would you agree or disagree with me here on this?

P.S I am always open to opinions, negative or positive!! This is what forums are all about

Say what you mean, mean what you say.
