Has anyone caught themselves sub-consciously sizing people up for techniques in everyday life, for example thinking "i could get shionage on this guy" while shaking hands with a new business partner, or planning kote-gaiashi when someone hands you something. please say you have, then i know i wasn't wrong to lower my medication doses  |
I was in a hardware store not too long ago and a fellow customer came in that looked like an NFL linebacker - 6 foot 8, 350 pounds of solid looking muscle. My toes curled at the thought of dealing with an all-out attack by him on the mat but I also felt sorry for him as I knew that Aikido would probably be a long hard road for him.
As for thinking "i could get shionage on this guy" etc. No -- I've never done anything like that. Try adjusting your medications.
