False.

The next person has tried a forward roll on concrete or asphalt and learned the hard way that you can't slap the road like you do the mat.

Re: Say something about the Aikidoka below You!

False....I knew enough not to slap :-)

The next person had bought time to catch his breath at a seminar by pretending his hak or obi needed adjusting, slowly walking to the edge of the mat and turning away from the kamiza.....heheheheh

True:...now where is that crib sheet?

the next person noticed their feet were filthy during warm-ups but didn't go to the sink to clean them until after rolling practice cuz they love rolling so much.
