Re: Pain and control in Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu

I have heard a first hand account of Okamoto saying (in the middle of a seminar demonstration), "I'm not hurting them, I have no idea why they're doing this..."



There is a long tradition of trying to make your sensei look awesome, it's not just a DR thing.
