דוגמא מהרשת - באנגלית
בדיוק קראתי את שכתבה בחורה שמתאמנת באייקידו ברשת, אנא קרא: My very first post....=) Hello, all! I´m new here, so don´t be throwing me, quite yet! I need to work on my "E-Breakfalls" first! Hehe! AL..right, in my experience, [14 years; I´m 19, by the way=)] Aikido has been what I made it: Flexable. I am not training to destroy anything, I´m training to be myself. If someone wants to stop me, or guide me, I know I will "win" simply because I don´t fight it; I become a mirror to them. One of my last boyfriends was a football player in the town I used to live in. This was last spring, and I was looking for a college. He didn´t like that I was also looking at colleges that were out of state, and he literally, blew up right there in the mall in which we were in. I was scared. I´m 5´3 100lbs. and he is over 6 feet tall, and a genetic anomoly! [He could be a Professional Wrestler...] So I´m trying to get him to relax, but he is getting more angry. He gets so mad that even my friends are looking away because they are scared. He grabbed me, and I went from scared to "I´m-going-to-wrist-lock-you-NOW!" And I did, with nikyo. It happend so fast, and unexpectedly, that neither he, nor I, knew what had just happend. I held on, just like I had trained to. He was on his knees, and both of our groups of friends came to separate us. [I haven´t spoken with him since.] My point is that there shouldn´t be one way to apply what the situation requires. If hitting them is what happens, cool! [My last "real" fight involved me hitting the person with my knees, which were sore for weeks afterward...] If it´s off-balancing them, groovy! But the very most important thing is timing. It´s ageless...just ask my mother, who has been training Aikido since the mid-sixties! She has many "tricks" that confuse me, but I´m getting the hang of them. My goal is to be able to apply what technque I need to, with as little strength as possible. Someday! Thanks for reading my post, and have a great day! Aikido girl. __________________ Melissa Collins Never say die! R-V-D! R-V-D! R-V-D!
