ORIGINAL: ShaharThorne I used to being schooled in Akidio one time in college and it is merely using the attacker's motion against him/her. I used it against my brothers when they thought that they can scare me...Landing on their butts and backs taught them better. My son studied aikido for years, saw some of the instructors give demonstrations when the dojo had people from all over the country and Japan come through, it was fascinating. Watched one who could roll from shoulder to shoulder while barely touching the parking lot surface, sometimes, I swear he didn't actually touch. I appreciated both the art and the philosophy behind it, I wish he had continued, he might have maintained more balance in life. But getting back to the post...you are correct to be proud of him, that is great!!!
