No. Many of our techniques and movements have multiple counts and steps.

However, in Aikido, there is also the philosophy that one should never have to use their training to inflict harm upon a helpless victim (ie. not used to attack). And we absolutely use our opponents energy to conduct the martial art - without it, Aikido almost doesn't work.

When in tournaments or belt attainment testing - the attacker is require to exert all of their energy toward the attack. Otherwise the defender will not be able to successfully complete whatever movement they are doing.

 

That one is 100% legit. That is how it is done and done very well at that.

 

Now this Aikido is COOL!

Yeah that's badass - that's also why I like Aikido; look at the defender - he's easily 80lbs lighter and shorter than the attacker and he smacks him down every time!

 

Where do you usually practice at?

 

Don't practice in a Dojo anymore, I used to go to Western Aikido Yoshokai Enbukan Dojo in Mountain View then I got busy and started practicing at home when I had time.

 

You should see the rifle breifcase!

 

...Like Desperado status?

 

Only in a standard size briefcase... thanks to the detachable rifle parts.

 

Hahahahaha... "watch my vid-cam with tri-pod attack!"

 

Why is it that I find the "assault weapons in the bathroom" photos so funny?

 

hahahahha... Thats how I roll!

 

When you gotta go; you gotta go.

 

Haha yeah I remember "back in the day" you always had these guns laid out all over the floor and then the angry mirror pics. I was looking around for pics of my guns but I cannot even find one. Not sure why but then I never had more than 10 at any time. I think I took some snaps of the 1800's Ithaca dbl barrel I had since it is a family heirloom but again couldn't find them.
