Re: Are We that Good?

Quote:
Is it reasonable to expect that at some point my physical abilities will support my philosophical ideology (to engage in confrontation without injury to any involved party)?
Absolutely not...and that is the "snake oil" that sells Aikido.

Quote:
...someone is hell bent on hurting you, the moment you let them up, they are coming after you.
...an absolutely true statement.

Quote:
from the ground up are we that good?
"WE" are'nt..... " I " am. I, speaking for myself only, know when to tweak, dislocate, destroy and end an existence. Those actions all have their proper time and place, and their unique ramifications.

" Aikido is an art for pussies.."
There are a multitude of examples out there (and here),
just look...some are nidan and above.

"We are not that good...a few of us are.

Train well,
