I've seen the "Pull my Finger—I Dare You" shirts but not Grab My Wrist.

-It seems to be all about semantics!

LOL, if I find it again, I'll post a link to it. It might have been on Cafe Press.
[to Graham] Thank you ^_^ I feel I have a wonderful class. I've learned a lot in my brief time so far with Aikido.

Re: Really, grab my wrist!
That is a good post. I study a Tomiki based style and we use the wrist grabs as an exercise to teach the basic principles. Off balance, blending with uke, and feeling the connection and so on. Hope you stick with it.

Re: Really, grab my wrist!
I've found that when someone grabs you with one hand, or even two hands spaced apart, you can turn your hand out of it. But if they grab you by the wrist with both hands together and their thumbs are overlapping, you can't just turn your hand out. You need to use your free hand to reach in and grab your other hand and rip it free.

Why would you want to remove their hands?
