Heya, offtopic but when does Aikido actually become good? i only had the one session but it was pretty lame. No ball-breaking work-out, no full metal jacket insults, no "go on martin, stick it in him!". Only two throws which were jsut so damn articila and contrived. Sure they work, but only if i stand toally still and don't resist at all. I hate that shit.
I trust your opinion on it, so i'll give it a chance, but it jsut seems totally impractical. Maybe it's being taught better in Cardiff or maybe the throws work when it's not a 5'1 thai girl trying to throw you... she got the technique fine but with only a little resistance she couldn't move me. Just tell me we learn something that actually works!
find a good partner, you'll learn way better when someone gives a resistance and you'll realise the techniques usually move against your range of motion so even if you're tense it doesn't make a difference. you probably need someone at least your height to learn a bit better.

If it's your drinking ability... well at least you didn't make any spelling mistakes.
