> Aikido is that fantasy martial arts. The kind that only works when the opponents are in on the ruse.
Agree to a good extent. But less so after going to a few sessions and sparring with the sensei. Had to throw myself around in all kinds of spectactular ways to avoid the pain as he put pressure on my joints. For a spectator, it may have looked like he was throwing me around and I was playing along and exaggerating.

This was something I enjoyed about practising Aikido. As a 15 stone man you don't get an opportunity to be thrown around like a rag doll very often. Sensei I suspect picked on me for just that very reason :)
