Mornin all. I'm not sure why I'm awake so early, but I am. Don't have to work today so the opportunity for a nap is there. Gotta get a cactus mailed for trade today, so I gotta find a box and go to the post office. Other than that, I'll probably chill around my garden some, get some good lunch later, and have Aikido in the evening.
What kind of awesomesauce is your monday gonna be chock full of?

Mornin' Chris& other fellow shroomerites!
Shieet, I went to pick up some rye berries this morning(total of 5kg), and now I gotta carry them around since I was too lazy to take them home before school. No biggie, tho 
Other than that, I just ate some samosas&salad for breakfast, which was nice 
Have a great day folks!

Is akido actually effective against a real opponent? It looks so...fake.

I don't think numerous police forces around the world would use it if it weren't effective.
There are many different schools of Aikido and I've seen some stuff on the webs that doesn't look very legit, and I've even had some training that wasn't all that legit. My sensei though not only is a master of Aikido, but also of Judo, Taekwondo, and Shaolin kung fu. He knows how to teach it in a way that it works very well.
I recall a story of a cocky friend of mine who is a wrestler, brawler, and also a professional bouncer. We were out drinking and the subject of my aikido training came up. He told me aikido doesn't work. I had him submitted in about 2 seconds. I've been training for a long time though. With traditional martial arts it takes a good bit of training before it's really very effective.

What you practice really isnt pure akido then is it? Most of the shit ive seen is ridiculous toe holds and throws their partner seems to throw themselves i.to. then again I really havent seen that much of it.

No, it's pure Aikido, but every teacher teaches it a little different. My sensei's background in other arts gives him a good perspective on the old "oh yeah but what if I did that" situations. Also his background in Judo makes for throws that actually work very well rather than being primarily faith based. I agree that the way many teachers teach the throws is not very realistic. I can see why you would feel that way. Also, some of these things that don't LOOK realistic have to be felt to understand that they actually are in some cases.
Toe holds? 
This is pretty good stuff too if you wanna watch it when you get home

and by "have to be felt to understand" Chrisman means: the recipients of these moves often throw themselves wildly through the air because THAT is the motion that's required to keep one's arm from breaking or being contorted in extreme agony. Aikido manipulates your shit. You do a flip, or your arm breaks, or you collapse in pain

It does look cooler with the uniforms and stuff, but I wanted to show a video of it being used in tactical situations.

Did a quick vent pipe job and sitting in my car while the GC of the site keeps looking at me while I wait on my boss that can't seem to line up work properly.
I get paid either way so sitting on my phone talking to you guys and getting paid for it isn't so bad. I seem to be doing this a lot.

I should get one but even though I get paid decently I only have $35 for the week and that's not enough for gas let alone food.

Got pulled over last night for having a headlight out so I'm trying to change the bulbs in my 4runner. Turns out I have to take the whole damn grill off and I just broke the plastic clips that hold it on. So now I'm just doin a dab in frustration.
