Why do YOU think Aikido Sucks??

Because even the forum itself thought that the point needed to be driven in twice for this guy.

You know that submission technique where you put a **** ton of door knobs in a sack?

There goes your anorexia again.

Overeat, purge. Overeat, purge.

You know that dietitian who told you to stop consuming kids at parties?

Y'might wanna listen.

I was unfortunate once and aikido helped me but it wasn't against a trained MMA'er or other kind of fighter just someone that was being a knob head.

Ah, the bullshit anecdote. A classic. Thank you for participating.

Nov 16th 1999- Apparently this guy who had taken 3 years of Aikido. He was passing a few one liners thinking people were actually amused by him. Anyway he was bragging on how Aikido teaches people to avoid conflict that's what makes it the best martial arts out there. So apparently I mumbled something along the lines of "Apparently you haven't been paying much attention in class." So he calls me on it, and I told him if Aikido teaches people to avoid conflict maybe they should stop throwing it in peoples faces. Anyway, it got a bit heated on his part and I kept laughing at him. Then he changed the subject to the point that he could move out of the way of a punch without a problem. At that point I apparently got up, walked over to him and smacked him and said "You need more practice."

I guess he tried to get up and try fighting me and I looked at him stating "What about avoiding conflict?" In which he could barely responds, then I said "...and you can block any punch?". In which our mutual friend proclaimed "Well in all fairness you slapped him". Then everybody broke out laughing and defused the situation.

(Yeah, not an epic tale but that's why I've never told it before). I have a few more along the same line, but that's the funniest.

Double checked this with my friend. Apparently I missed the part where he tried to get me kicked out of the club and the bouncers just ignored him.
