Here's pictorial evidence of my Friday. Yes, there is on picture which proves my presence. The best way to do Aikido is as the photographer :-) I did participate in the warm up and practice before the massive testing. Hopefully I'll manage to go back Monday and get back into the groove of training. It would certainly do my self-image a world of good, and my physical health likewise.

Someone rushes at you, and there's this little dance, and it's all graceful, and nobody uses any force, and like magic they're flying down over there and you're still standing more or less where you were. It's all about manipulating your natural instincts and center of mass. You typically don't use force to change anyone's momentum, you just redirect it in a way that gives you control over the attacker.
