What do you do if you cannot avoid...

This thread is my special humour, and maybe - again - nobody else can laugh about it.

But I though, the humour section is the best one, While I should cry, if I could not laugh

So the story is always the same:
What can an aikidoka do, if he/she is ... (see list) and do not tell stories about you should try to avoid, as you cannot always avoid this.

We already know "taken to ground", "bear hugged", "punched hardly", "round house kicked". Now there are more of them.

• (1) What can an aikidoka do, when he/she has got a knife in his/her belly / ribs?
  (2) What can you do, if you are shot directly in your forehead?
  (3) What, if you get hit with a baseball bat from behind, which you cannot see?

Maybe you can find more examples and finally we can prove that aikido is totally useless

The answer's obvious... "Blend, blend and blend summore!" If you've been caught out then unfortunately you may blend with the attack in a spectacular but terminal fashion.

I remember the last time I got shot... yeesh! Blend? The bullets and I became ONE!

But it's a boring story, I'll spare you all...

...cannot avoid a wild, roaming, evil Brownie Troop looking for trouble? Throwing girlscouts (and their cookies) at whomever they find in their path? Oh my goodness, it's randori with live weapons.

Easy Dirk,

Aikidoka should hang around friends who are doctors preferable with ER exposure; have boyfriend/girlfriend working as a paramedic; live near or hang around places where is near to a hospital; stay close to a Minister, Parish, Priest or Monks... capable of reading the last rite at the most opportune time.

Boon.

When people overly dissect techniques I always say, OK then, what technique do you do when you've been knocked unconcious. The point of all these being - you don't ever let it get that far, and zanshin is everything!

1. Bleed copiously. Possibly die.
2. Most likely die.
3. Get a busted skull. Possibly die.

Happy now?

Without saying much...that says so much!

Most amusing.

Hey there,
good new "questions" and good replies.

Some of you seem not to like my humour, but it is nice of you participating nevertheless.

So more,

What does an aikidoka do when his neck is broken?
"My MA just starts at this point, Wha wha wha!"

I guess a good aikidoka would start to improve his 360° view. Perfect zanshin

What do we do when struck by lightening?
What do we do when struck by an oncoming vehicle?
What do we do when a hurricane takes out all you electricity?

- Blend. They're only electrons.

- Blend. We will come out in next car wash. "Out, out, damned spot!"

What do we do when a hurricane takes out all you electricity?

- Evade: Intelligently move to a state where they don't have hurricanes.

1) When attacked by a hungry Lion in the Jungle?
2) When he/she has run out of beer?
3) Locks him/herself out of their house?

Personally I think the best defence to the first one, is to wait until the lion gets within about 3 feet and begins to open his mouth to bite you. Then ram a small set of stepladders down his throat. If you are in a jungle, where stepladders are hard to come by, then a bedside table or a small dresser should suffice.

1) When attacked by a hungry Lion in the Jungle?
- Feed it the nearest Christian

2) When he/she has run out of beer?
- aftershave/perfume and orange juice punch, note: do not use old-spice in a plastic container

3) Locks him/herself out of their house?
- every true aikidoka can always use their Ki (look, I'm sorry, but everyone was thinking this...)

Kick 'em in the head?


Sorry, but we were all thinkin it......well I was anyway

...im helpless 24yr old, completely at the mercy of these mini terrors!

two toddlers tied together using their own belts makes a surprisingly acceptable set of practice nunchuks - a bit noisy at times, but you can get some good speed up with them.

Pin one, grab the next one that gets too close, and start making a rugrat sandwich!

U guys rock .... im gunna print these and post them up on the dojo as a warning to all!!!!

Fair warning. How nice!

They won't remember the warning.

Have fun.

we need a dear doka page!

After some experimentation with the above principle I can reveal that the simple addition of another belt between the toddlers, and knowledge of when to let go, will convert nunchuks into a highly effective bolas, with built in siren.

Cheers,

Matt.

And don't forget, using several different sized toddlers correctly lined up can be a very useful training tool for bokken practice - practice cuts at different heights and see your yokomen improve immensely! (liked the bolas BTW - must try this sometime)

But back to the original content of this thread...

1/ What can an aikidoka do when held off the ground (face down) by all four limbs while someone is stabbing them in the back.

2/ What can an aikidoka do when their hakama is possessed by the spirit of a drowned murderer and is bent on revenge on the living!
