Re: My Aikido Secret

Quote:
I try to resolve work problems, facilitate group discussions, and resolve conflicts through aiki ways.
Great stuff, this is the essence of 21st century aikido!

People at work are beginning to ask questions and I feel it's only a matter of time before I must reveal the fact that I practice or outright lie.
What possible good would lying do, just be honest. Most curiosity will fade as soon as you start to explain some of the 'philosophy', watch the eyes clouding over followed by a hasty retreat back to the work-a-day world.

Enjoy your practice, it is yours, not theirs.
