3 descriptive words
I mentioned this in a previous thread.
People tend not to know what aikido is, and in order to tell them I tend to have to go into detail in order for them to understand.
Things like karate, you can put on a poster the word Karate and people know what you are talking about. On an aikido Poster you have to try and give them more information.
So, imagine a poster. Nice and colourful, eye catching image, contact details, date and times of classes... you have room for 3 (or there abouts) words that you can use to describe aikido. The words fit around the picture and are there to inform/entice without misleading.
what words would you use?

How about...
Dynamic - Energenic - Effective
But I think the 3 words that describe Aikido best are:
Timing - Distance - Balance

Osu!

I guess, I would have a poster of two or moreattackers sprawled out, or in a pile with the caption," Sorry about that."
Or " Who is Next?"

During my first few practices, I overheard a few of the students commenting on my flexibility mentioning that I might *not* know how *not* to tear somebodies arm off.. so I'm going to have to go with the:
"Sorry about that"
But I do like:
"Connections with all"
"One with all"
"Balance Power Movement"
or
"Free beer Fridays"
