I’m happy to not even think about it.

Old saying “die trying”.

No, unfortunately, that’s the conundrum. It’s you who die. Even though Aikido is, according to O-Sensei, a life affirming martial art.

I grant you that there are skilled Aikidoka, in our own Federation, who can square that circle. I’ve seen them on the mat.

But if Aikido is for the world, as O-Sensei says, where does that leave you and me?

There is an answer here, I’m sure of it. It’s tickling at the back of my mind, but I can’t express it.

You did say that. Your logic…

Edited by Admin because I’m pretty sure I didn’t say what you just wrote. Although the actual quote does sound like me.

Yeah, I trained with Joel for most of Yamada Sensei’s class. It was fun. We saw his Nidan test- looked good. I liked his randori best out of the pool he tested with.

Did I actually say that? That’s so funny.

“enter and die”
“If you’re gonna die, you might as well die correctly.”- Jerry

I trained with Joel in Penny Bernath Sensei’s Randori class last year. It was right before the black belt tests, so I guess it was a last chance training session for the potential sho,ni and san dans.
His Aikido was very beautiful. He might of appreciated working out slow with me, a tired kyu, considering he was testing for nidan directly after that class. lol
