Jerry's 1st Kyu Aikido test

The dojo and dojomates I love are: www.portlandaik...
Aikdo doesn't do a variety of colored belts. It's just a black belt (when you pass 1st Dan), and wearing the overskirt called a Hakama, which happens in our dojo when you pass the test before that, for 1st Kyu. My ukes - the friends I'm throwing, named Jay and Michael - are wearing Hakamas; now I get to!

Very tidy indeed. Well done.

nice choreography ..not sure if in real life that will happen. People charing at someone, throwing punches and kicks.. won't jump into the floor when they are grabbed by the arm

really, you think so ? but what if Jerry asked them really nice and also gave them his wallet ?

[@JerryMichalski]

good answer! Aikido really only works with a cooperative uke (attacker, whom you throw or pin). it might help if I offered a wallet, yes :)
