You know what, maybe this spring I'll put my money where my mouth is and take some kind of a sports course.

I've been moaning for two years that there's no dance at a level where it really wears on me, and no martial arts on a level where I won't make a fool of myself after five years of not doing any.

time to stop moaning and start looking

Tried aikido for the first time.

Holy shit I was bad at it.

For some Extended Van Lore, I practiced karate about eight years, and my style was a very stiff straight-up Okinawan style called "Shorin-Ryu". A hard-style school.

Aikido is about as soft as you can get compared to it. I was standing on two steel poles compared to everyone else. The teacher had a lot of fun tossing me around because I just. Didn't get how the redirection of motion typical to that style was supposed to work.

Nevertheless, fun was had. I had a wonderful click moment at one point, and suddenly I realised exactly what I was doing wrong.

I hope to take aikido up properly to compensate for how much sitting I do.

is because I bloody well can.
