LOL! I would have to say Judo or JuJitsu would be the Dark Side. Hmm...Yoda = O Sensei and Kano Sensei = Darth Sidious?????

Mmmh, that IS interesting. O-Sensei was real short and had a long beard, while Yoda wasn't exactly a giant and he bore serious side burns...mmmh LOL!

Ok, just to stay in thread:

?.- All other dance studios were full.

So I practice hapkido... does that make me an evil Sith Lord?
Cool! You can call me Darth Tweekum. Can't wait till they teach to choke by telekinesis and shoot lightning.

2. Target shooting, motorcycles, and working at a prison just weren't exciting enough, I had to push the envelope and start running around in a skirt and pajamas.

because defending yourselves with pain is more fun. especially because aikido doesnt leave things behind, only a bit red skin.
because my friends are giving me the nickname "the psychopate", and each they call me that people are looking

ad_adrian · 06-06-2005, 07:42 AM

cause steven seagal does aikido:P and he looks hell as good

Ulises Garcia · 06-06-2005, 01:10 PM

Because of the (very respectfully) wonderful babes of Aikido. There is something about a girl who could kick my @$$...

'Cause we have Intro classes full of cute college guys, and when sensei calls me up and says "This is what you can do with a bit more experience" and tosses me around like a rag doll, I *love* the expressions on their faces. Hot damn.

Also because one of the cute college guys said, "You're a lot stronger than you look" and no one has *ever* said that to me before. (I didn't tell him I was moving from my center rather than using upper body strength. Why spoil the moment?)

It feels odd quoting myself. Anyhow, a few days ago I bumped into what I consider to be one sexy demonstration of Ryotetori-Ikkyo (and by this I mean no disrespect to Ms. Rachelle Nono). I just love how the side opening of her hakama is kinda revealing.

This is an animated gif, but it is also a smaller version. The larger size (and much clearer one) is at:

because you felt like it...DUH!
But really, I just thought it looked cool...and my g/f thinks I look sexy in a gi...but that's a minor reason.

Jiawei · 07-01-2005, 05:14 AM

Beautiful art form, graceful moves, self defence and a sense of health...hee

emma.mason15 · 07-09-2005, 02:00 PM

because u want your karate instructor boyfriend to be surprised when he next attacks you for fun! lol

# 1 .... I was an eight year old kid who thought "karate" was cool

samurai_kenshin · 07-10-2005, 01:55 AM

RebeccaM · 07-10-2005, 05:28 PM

It seemed like a good idea at the time...

An aikido guy whooped my ass in a fight.

Classic!!!

Yoda Quote:
Luke:" Is the dark side stronger?"
Yoda: "No"

Hence: Aikido stronger than Hapkido!!!

The SM studio was too expensive and I could not tell, when my family asked where I wanted to go.

Now aikido is cheaper, I can talk about freely, and the fun is the same

i joined because it is art in motion. & it feels good. even the pain. sometimes especially the pain.

...i stay because i want to be a jedi. & for the "secret ninja techniques"

emma.mason15 · 07-20-2005, 01:37 PM

I only went in to ask where the bathroom was .... now sensei knows where I live and would hunt me down like a dog and drag me back by by hair ..... lol

Kerry Monument · 07-22-2005, 04:17 PM

To learn to hit people with large planets, read it some where in a book thought it was a cool description of aikido!!

If Mel Brooks did "Robin Hood - Men in Tights", do you think he might agree to do "Aikido - Men in Skirts"? I would volunteer for a role in the movie. Anyone else want to join me?
