Re: Aikido or Judo, which is more martial?

A few instances in my "youth" involving very aggressive punch/kick fellows ended quickly when the world turns upside down very quickly and they hit the hard surface in dramatic fashion. One fellow that made the mistake of not growing up learning ukemi and proper falling sustained a hip fracture. Boxers don't think about learning to fall. If you're proficient at ashi waza, they really work.

Peter, things continue to happen and I have survived. I'm living in the Pacific Northwest now and am glad to get out of the heat. Keep in touch.

Hi Szczepan, I heard a long time ago that the hardest and most important thing about budo practice is finding the right teacher. I think it's true.
