The result of that was a 15-20min post-class informal congregation of a few other newbies, with questions, and a quick no #ukemi demo of forms of #KoteGaeshi that are NOT usually taught, outside of #DaitoRyu and other #Jujutsu forms.

What attracted me to #Aikido was the inclusiveness, the flexibility and optional benevolence of the forms.

Many assume that, because of that optional benevolence, Aikido "doesn't work" because you don't leave a trail of bloody bodies behind you. The Aikido forms are direct from DaitoRyu. We train in a manner to not apply lethality or even likelihood of physical harm (apply #ukemi qualifiers here).

But never make categorical assertions, out of near absolute ignorance, about the effectiveness of a encompassing series of techniques you barely started to discover.Looks foolish.

Namely when someone proceeds to demonstrate a dozen or so forms of that technique you didn't know existed, and which show exactly what you said couldn't happen.
