Do it. That way in 20 years when you're a big shot aikido teacher with students who think the sun rises and sets with you, you can show them the video tape and let them know you were just like them

"A pacifist is not really a pacifist if he is unable to make a choice between violence and non-violence. A true pacifist is able to kill or maim in the blink of an eye, but at the moment of impending destruction of the enemy he chooses non-violence."
