Re: Women and generalizations

What's wrong with generalization?

When I do certain technique which involves pushing chest, I modify it to push shoulder of female partner. Because I assume that she doesn't like being rubbed in that area. If any of you female readers stand up and dispute my assumption/generalization, and think it's a commpliment to be teached on that area, I'd like to train with you, on mat or off

I do believe that woman in Aikido master it faster in general. Reasons:

1.Women are more flexible in general.

2. Woman in Aikido are more motivated.

3. The beginning woman in Aikido are better spicemen in their gender. I've seen many men, who can't touch his own toes, who has bad kneed cap, who's over 60, who's lazy (a guy regularly late for 6:00pm class because he can't get up. No, he doesn't work night shift. He just likes long afternoon nap), come to our dojo. While the women are young, fit and eager to learn.
