"Assailant in Carmel tried to punch 13-year-old in face before she threw him to the ground and broke his ankle."

I'm sorry to say a lot of cis men will never respect women, cis or trans.

We HAVE to use force to stop their violence.

If you can't be respected be feared.

It occurred to me that rather than trying to convince #aikidoka to join the fediverse, I can try and convince the fediverse to try #aikido. So here's my pitch.

Do you have a new year resolution to try and get in shape? Do you want to try a
#MartialArt?

#Aikido is a non-competitive art of Japanese origin practiced around the world. There is a saying "aikido is for everyone". Training consists (generally) of paired practice where you and your partner work through a kata that was demonstrated by the sensei. The goal is to improve your (and your training partner's) ability, not to "win". There are (wooden) swords and short staffs and disarmament that you get to play with.

So why shouldn't you try it? The only thing I've got is that we're still in an ongoing multi-year pandemic and, unfortunately, the number of people still masking largely reflects the rest of society. If that's a deal breaker for you, you might need to wait until someone invents public health and the airborne virus is controlled through ventilation.. aikido is largely based on trying to blend with an attacker's energy and redirect it to control the situation. It is hard to do without a partner.

If you can, I still think you should try a class (or watch one) at your local dojo. If your idea of martial arts comes from Hollywood or you think there's inherent competition in the concept you might be surprised. I'm sure there are bad dojos, but I haven't seen many. Most have a warm and welcoming atmosphere and it's a great way to get in shape.

There are all kinds of interesting coaching questions around this topic in #Aikido, or indeed any #MartialArt.
Your partner's reaction to you is never 'wrong', It may not be what you expect, it may not be what you'd like, but it is there, and you have to deal with it.
For complete beginners, it can be worthwhile emphasising the difference between exercises that we practice to develop skills, and techniques that are actually expected to be used in sparring or combat.

I began zen (chan) meditation and yoga at age 10. I found my first martial arts teacher at 15. With almost 50 years of dedicated practice and 25 years of teaching, I consider myself somewhat proficient at piercing the veil, so to speak. clear perception and all. My Thanksgiving message is simple. Enjoy life, be kind to everyone and oppose bad actors with courage and persistence. Develop the mental capacity and physical skills necessary to fight effectively. Do not become a victim of your doubts and uncertainty. Be as skeptical of your own assumptions about truth as you are concerning others'. Rest and recover well each day so you can do this as long as you can. Rinse, repeat and move on. <fin> #Thanksgiving #mindbody #meditation #gratitude #wellness #discipline #martialart #kindness #intro #TwitterMigration #introduction
