Good morning crew,
I was a tourist last night. Recently a new aikido dojo opened
up down the street from my school, so I called them up and
arranged to attend a free introductory class.
I studied aikido years and years ago and was curious to see
how I would fit in after having spent so much time focusing
on hapkido.
The answer is…pretty well. Hapkido and aikido are very
similar. The techniques are mostly the same, a lot of the
difference comes in the interpretation.
The big difference was in the class atmosphere. At my school
the class approach is militaristic, for lack of a better
word. Well, it is ‘martial’ arts, after all.
But in this new school everything was much more relaxed and
casual, and I have to admit I was uncomfortable with it. I
like a little more structure.
The hardest thing to do was to act and think like a student
again. Of course, we are all students our entire lives, but
I’m just not used to teenage yellow belts telling me I’m
doing a technique wrong.
I guess it’s good for the humility. It took a lot of patience
not to drop him!
Laugh it up,
Joe

I was supposed to go out with this guy on Friday night. On
Friday afternoon he called and said that he didn’t think it
was a good idea, because he just wanted to be friends.
So I hung up and called him back. He said, “Hello?”
I said, “Hey, friend, it’s me. Want to hear what this jerk I
was supposed to go out with just did?”

most comfortable with.
