Iaido

[Anonymous No.]

So /sp/ I thought about going visiting the Iaido shool.
No, im not a weeabo, i did first the swiss traditional wrestling sport but fucked my knee up with it.

You're thoughts about it? Some sword fighting Arts that you prefer? Iaido is more a the art about the sword itself and Zen stuff, but it sounds nice as a start to the katanas for me.

Mainly i tried to search for Kendo Shool's in my area, but there are none.

Have you ever been in love, OP?

I haven't. Not with another human being at least. After dedicating my mind and spirit to Aikido I haven't found much room for anything else.

Sure I've been on dates before with beautiful women, but whenever they find out that I am a student of the world's strongest martial art, the dinner always ends there. They sometimes even offer to pay, in fear of their lives.


--------------

I believe you shouldn't underestimate Aikido. Now I know you may be thinking, "Why take a weakling martial art like Aikido seriously when I am learning Kendo?" I can see why you would think that, how can a peaceful martial arts like Aikido beat a powerful one like Kendo?

Well, I have a story to share with you.

Years ago, I was a Kendoka, I thought I was the toughest kid in high school, I would pick fights, and kick ass. I was full of hate, until I picked a fight with the wrong dude. He was a Japanese exchange student, I still remember his name, Noboru Takeda.

I picked on him because of his hilarious and thick Japanese accent. I told him I was going to beat him so hard, he would go back to China(Yeah, I was a little racist prick.), he never said anything back, made me wanted to kick his ass even harder.

Well, here comes the fight. I threw men and do strikes, he dodged them like I was a mere white belt. I was tiring out and he knew, I saw the smirk on his face that made me raged hard. I put all my strength in one amazing tsuki, and he grabbed past it to my wrist and threw me over. My back smacked on the hard cement ground, and I was knocked out for who knows how long.

When I woke up I was in the school infirmary, I asked the nurse who brought me here, and you guessed it, Noboru Takeda. The next day, he wasn't at school, he was back in Japan, and I never got to thank him, for saving my life and showing me the light. I soon learned that he was an Aikidoka and have been practicing Aikido ever since to show my thanks to him.

Aikido master here.

Let me tell you are story.

Last week I went clubbing alone, I'm a tall lanky guy, 6'2, 125lb. So here I am, grinding on this chick when this bulky black guy comes over and pushes me away from her. He probably thought I would leave and let him take her, wrong. I gently tapped his shoulder and told him to take his leave or he would feel the consequences. Of course, he told me fuck off, but I didn't.
I guess I irritated him enough and he tried to swing at me, I wasn't scared, my years of Aikido training was more than enough for this buffoon. I simply grabbed his hand and reversed the force back at him. He punched himself out.
The rest of the night there was a 4m radius of emptiness around me. No one fucks with Aikido.

Im not the the guy who takes a sport for fighting random people ont he streets, as i mentioned, i learned already how to defend myself on the Art's of Swiss wrestling, which includes krav maga and some other gimmicks to round it off.

Anyways, Iaido is more there for the handling of the sword and the soul.

Do you want to be wise? Learn Aikido

Arguably the most powerful martial arts in the entire world.

An Aikido practitioner is practically invincible, no one of any martial arts background can ever land a punch or kick on one.

Using the power of the attacker, the Aikido practitioner uses absolutely no energy to knock them down.

A fearsome martial arts it is

>No, im not a weeabo

Fencing, you fucking race traitor.
Learn fencing instead, japs are already masturbating all the time thinking their shitty swords are the best, you won't do them the pleasure to use them too?!

Aikido does not reflect attacks.

It reverses them, and furthermore: Add more force.

A reversed 9mm bullet is more like a fucking cannonball made of burning suns of rage. It could easily tear through a tank.

That is the power of Aikido.

Let me share an experience with all from one of my many quests

Its lunch, I went to my favourite sandwich shop, got a delicious veal sandwich and was on my way back home.
There was this thuggish "Nigga" style black dude, he was behind me, I stopped, because he was walking quite fast, and I didn't want to be in his way.

He comes up to me, and asked, “Do you have any money?”, I knew where he was going with this, so I said, “Yeah, but you’re not getting any of it.”, and I walked away.
I suppose it’s in his blood, he was going to punch the back of my head but I quickly grabbed and threw him over my shoulder, he fell down and became unconscious.
I checked if he had any drugs/money, found cocaine in his jacket and called the cops.
I guess it wasn’t really a fight since it lasted less than 10 seconds, it really shows how effective Aikido is in real life situations.
It feels good to help the police catch drug dealers/druggies.

Fencing is boring as shit though. I'll admit I've never really done it, but I had friends who did and it looked dull. Like it wouldn't even be practical in real life (even in ye olde sworde times).
Something more...choreographed would be funner. Like in my Chinese cartoons.

Speaking of which, what did medieval knights do? Did they just wail on each other and whoever made the strongest hits won?

It was practical in olden days, where you had to fight in tight european alleyways.

Nope, check the Flamberger! So many stances,its basicly Hit-counter. Most about solide parry till youre enemy leaves a hole in his defense! Pretty intensive!


Also, anybody Iaido experience?

Not really. From what I've read, it was usually more an endurance contest since the armor did its job pretty well most of the time. Until guns, that is.

When you talk about this Swiss traditional Wrestling, you mean Schwingen, right?

Are you swiss, by any chance? Because it looks like it is pretty interesting, but I'm not sure if I could can learn it elsewhere other than Switzerland,

BTW, I'm sorry OP, you are getting trolled to hell and back, your post was the perfect bait for Aikido copypasta.

I shall now show you how aikido can help you court a women

I decided to take a stroll in the park today in my Aikido suit as I like to call it, the weather was great. I found myself a great spot for doing Aikido techniques, as I train, a beautiful woman came up to me and tapped my shoulder. I was so immersed in training that I mistaken her as a threat and grabbed her arm, tossing her to the ground. I quickly realized my mistake and apologized, she accepted the sincere apology of mine.

Afterwards she asked me what I was doing, I explained to her that I was practicing the ancient and mighty Japanese art of Aikido, she gave me her phone number, wanting to discuss more of Aikido.

An obvious excuse to meetup once again to have sex because I already told her everything about Aikido.

That's correct, i was thinking i was getting trolled, so many fabelous storys.

I heard that there are some Schwinger clubs spread in other countrys from Imigrant swiss peoples! In my old club there was a black dude from Canada, he stayed 3 months, but had a own club back in canada.

And yes, i am Swiss

How to get a girl in your Aikido class to like you

Talk to her before and after each class. If she's just sitting in a chair, or standing somewhere, go up to her and talk about something interesting. But make sure she isn't already talking to someone else.
Ask her for her email address or her IM. Do this at least the fifth time you see her if you talk to her a lot, and if she asks why, you don't have to tell her it's because you like her, just turn it around and ask why not.
Don't make fun of her if she does sloppy push-ups, or a bad counter. You can do it once in a while, but not every time you go. Try not to be too patronizing, but it could give you the opportunity to show off and help her with her technique. However some girls might take offense to any form of criticism so be careful.
While sparring her, if you get to do so, don't go too hard on her, but don't go so easy that it's obvious. Remember, she IS learning the same techniques as you, and may well feel you are insulting her abilities by going easy on her.
Compliment her on her Aikido skills after class. Girls love it when they get compliments. If she's more advanced than you, ask her to help you with a technique. It'll give you the opportunity to talk to her while flattering her skill.
Saying Good bye. When you're leaving, or when she's leaving (which ever is first), say good bye to her. The best way to say it is see you later, so the girl knows that you actually want to see her later.
Make sure you don't have anything stuck in your teeth when you talk to her.
If there are any awkward silences in your conversations, quickly say something funny or interesting.
If you're talking to her, stare into her eyes and don't look around in different places in the room. It'll annoy her.
Check if your dojo has any rules about dating someone from the class. Some have rules like this to prevent both sexual harassment and interpersonal drama from cropping up in class.

I come from a Swiss family myself, and there is a colony of swiss immigrants around here where I go to practice Armbrust shooting and stuff like that, but I've never heard of Schwingen clubs in my country.

Completely off topic, but could you do a search to see if you can find a Swiss Officer's surplus wool blanket anywhere? The one I know of should be like a tan color with brown arrows on it.

On the english side of the internet they are fucking gone. But it is the softest warmest blanket ever, and I would love to get a new one.

Dude, im pretty sure one of those swiss immigrants knows it! Armbrust shooting isn't even a traditional sport, just got popoulair with the tail of whilhelm tell, who was writing by a german. Also ask them for Hornussen!
