This is more zen than aikido, but I enjoyed it. I'm unsure if this is considered funny or not, but this was always one of my favorite zen stories:

There are two monks who are walking along a road, and it has rained recently, so mud coats the road. Soon, they come upon a beautiful girl standing on the side who wishes to cross but is apprehensive of getting dirty.

The first monk, oblivious to his friend, picks up the girl, and carries her across, then sets her down. The second monk is baffled, as they make it a practice of avoiding women.

Hours go by, and the first monk seems serene and doesn't mention it, and the second monk continues to be curious, but lets it go.

As the day goes on, however, he becomes more and more agitated by the thought, and finally bursts out, "Why did you pick up that girl at the roadside back there?!"

The first monk replies, "I left her back on the road, do you carry her still?"

On a lunch brake at work I was talking to my colleagues about some web sites that I run. As I listed them I said "and then there is the dojo web site". Instantly a few heads popped up and asked "what dodgy web site?"

Not really an Aikido joke, but still...

Two old friends who practiced Judo all their lives had a conversation on wehter they hold Judo competitions in heaven, and decided that the first one of them to go will come back and tell the other. A while after one of the friends dies. As it was agreed he comes to see his friend a few weeks after adn says, I've got two news for you: a good one and a bad one. The good news is that they hold Judo competitions in heaven on a regular basis. And the bad one is that tomorrow you are fighting Jigoro Kano.

That last joke reminded me of an interesting anecdote...

Back when I was studying martial arts in my pre-aikido days, my teacher had us practicing this one variation of nikkyo for more than 2 hours of a three hour summer class. The racquetball court we were using as a temporary dojo was stifling, badly ventilated, and hot. Eventually, one of my classmates' patience ran out, and he said "Hey Steve, how long do we have to practice this technique for?" My teacher replied "Um, well, until you die probably, if you want to get it right." to which that student replied "Nah, 60 years from now I'll show up in the afterlife, and you'll be there with a bullwhip making me practice for all of eternity!" At which point someone wondered aloud "Now, would that be heaven, or hell?"

Ki Symbol Re: Another aikido joke

Okay small joke might take a little visualization.

Uke and his sensei (120 lbs and 130 lbs) stand before the nage (approx 250 lbs). Sensei tells uke: "Remember our motto is use his weight against him.

Little piece of paper in the dojo dressing room. LOL!


If you arrest a mime, do you have tell him he has the right to remain silent?

Re: Another aikido joke

Not Aikido related, and a visual joke - but for some reason I cannot explain, I find this hilarious.




For any "ground pounders" out there.

Re: Another aikido joke

What does an aikido student says after receiving a present:
"Sankyo"

(sorry! I was trying to hold that by the urge to post it was stronger than me )

Re: Another aikido joke

How does an aikido master open the door to his dojo?

With his key

"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."

Re: Another aikido joke

recently sensei told us how to do the technique, starting from static katatedori.
"First offer uke a present, and as he takes it, do the ikkyo"

Suddenly I knew that aikido is much older tahn I thought before.

A wise man in Troy once said: "I fear the Aikidoka, even if they offer presents!"

Only those dumb translaters, who did not know about aikido changed the name to "Greek".

Cheers Dirk

Re: Another aikido joke

Once upon a time, three students of martial arts were discussing the various merits of their respective arts. Of course, each claimed that their own was better than the others. Finally, the doka selected a contest to determine the best of the arts. Each would challenge the next vehicle to come down the roadway.

The student of karate stated that he would go first. He stood in the center of the busy roadway and waited for the approaching vehicle. With a mighty chop, he stopped the first oncoming passenger vehicle dead.

The judoka was up next. He positioned himself in the road way. As the truck approached, he set himself, and then threw the truck with a mighty shrug.

The aikido student was concerned. The karate student had stopped a car. The judo student had thrown the truck. As he looked, a bus full of passengers came barreling down the road.

The aikidoka concentrated, stepped off center and the bus passed by.........

I don't know Christian...it seems funny enough if you just randomly say "Doctor I'm afraid of noodles!"...of course, people might change out your gi for a straightjacket, but it'd still be pretty funny!

P.S. - I'm a college kid, so pretty much anything taken horribly out of context would make me laugh.

Re: Another aikido joke

1. Aikido: the most fun you can have on your knees with your clothes on.

2, Coed naked Aikido: Get tapped on the mat.

3, Is that a Tanto in your Hakima, or are you just glad to see me?

4. Doshu has announced a new, honorary, 11th Dan rank for my mother-in-law, who has perfected not just seven, but thousands of ways to TWIST MY ARM.

two sausages sizzling in a pan. One says "hey aint it hot in here?". The other says "bloody hell, a talking sausage!"

Tongue Re: Another aikido joke

Here somthing my Sifu sent me,,,
The Top 12 Signs You've Joined the Wrong Martial Arts School

12. Lesson 1: A guy who looks and sounds like Danny DeVito in
a bathrobe points to a pile of concrete blocks and says "Knock
yourselves out, Grasshoppers."

11. All the trophies in the display case appear to be altered
bowling trophies.

10. Due to a misspelling of "Martial Arts" on the door, half
the class shows up with vibrators and lotions.

9. Other students show up with sketchbooks.

8. Instead of belts, levels of prowess are denoted by colorful
suspenders and co-ordinating ascots.

7. Although the Grandmaster's hands "move faster than the eye
can see", you can still detect a fair amount of nose picking
going on.

6. The lesson keeps getting interrupted while the Master swaps
french fry baskets.

5. As a student is wheeled out by paramedics, the instructor
says "Class, name 3 things Alan did wrong."

4. You're pretty sure "Monkey Style" does not involve
masturbating and throwing feces at your attacker.

3. You practice kicks on a stage while sweaty men stuff dollar
bills in your g-string.

2. Spent the first eight lessons learning to talk while moving
your lips in a seemingly unrelated manner.

1. At the end of every class, your instructor says, "...or you
could just buy a friggin' gun."

"When you cease to strive to understand, then you will know without understanding." -- Caine

Re: Another aikido joke

Two anecdotes...

After my third class (picture me in tshirt/sweatpants, with no clue and a few new books about aikido on my bookshelf) I mentioned to my new-found, 1st kyu aiki-friend, "Mike, where can I buy a gi?" (Our small dojo didn't "stock" them.) Mike replied with a long set of driving directions. Confused by the directions, and in an attempt to be aiki-clever, I replied, "Uh, yeah. Nevermind, I'll use my ki to find it!" Mike's deadpan reply: "Your car will stall." We're friends for life!

My Sensei (American, 30yrs experience, very hardcore training style, you get the picture...) is a very approachable and friendly person; But he does not commonly crack jokes -- very rarely on the mat, and never while actively demonstrating a technique. So there we are lined up watching him mercilessly apply nikkyo-to-ikkyo in suwariwaza (on those hard rubber puzzle-mats no less.) After several reps, uke sort of flopped forward away from the ikkyo and Sensei lost his contact with uke's hand/arm... In a flash he grabbed uke's foot and twisted his ankle/toes (analagous to how you'd apply nikkyo) pinning uke, splayed out. (Uke tapping madly.) We all watched a bit startled (it looked like it really hurt.) Sensei then released uke, and paused dramatically. Then he smiled with a little "hehe" sort of mischevious chuckle... and said "toe-kyo... Please practice!". (We practiced the ikkyo-to-nikkyo part.
