Hey, that's easy. All it takes is one small prick - plenty of those to go round in Aikido.

Useless factiod: my neice used to be Robert Plant's girlfriend. God I feel old.

I'm torn between "that's pretty cool" and "did he ever take her up the stairway to heaven".
But as it's your neice, any reference to anal sex shall remain unspoken.

What does Aikido and Led Zeppelin have in common?

Nothing. Led Zeppelin is cool.

Let's just say she was a very pretty young girl of 19 at the time and you have to wonder what she saw in the slightly shrivelled 53 year old MILLIONAIRE. Didn't last long.

I can only think of 2 singers who train in Aikido - one is Elkie Brookes (http://www.elkiebrooks.net/) the other is that Seagull guy. Surely there must be more.
Anyone know?

The Bluesman probably SOLD HIS SOUL to Satan, whereas the average aikidoka sold his soul to compliant training.

And the Viking will gobble shrooms, turn into a bear, and EAT YOUR SOUL.

In fact, in the Immigrant Song, they specifially diss "peace and trust" in dealing with marauding barbarians.

Way of the BearShirt > Way of Harmony. Aikido loses again.

Let's not kid ourselves. Zeppelin is super cool but it has its share of low life smelly hippies that like it. But many of us see the greater meaning ...

I was at an Aikido seminar today. The first hour - A veteran LE sandan showing Aikido controls applied to law enforcement. Got to try them against resisting opponents while grappling. This made me appreciate the martial roots of Aikido - a rare thing it seems..

This was followed up by a California hippie sensei ... I won't speak of what happened there ... I need to talk to a therapist first ... I just wanted to do 10 hours of Judo randori to cleans myself. The hippie sensei had a large entourage of long haired weird beards in tow. I don't like hippies.

It's not the art itself that makes it suck ... Its the artist ...
