I've been thinking about this since last night

I really don't know how to explain why I like aikido so much other than just going

IDK man

there's something extremely nice and invigorating about being able to tell when I'm having a good body day just being yeeted across the tatami :'D

It's good vestibular stimulation!! And also, my body awareness really just is so garbage that the best way to tell where I'm "at" is to see if I can roll out of a throw cleanly or if I just crash and skid.

Friday's teacher actually pointed it out that I was responding stiffly after I mentioned that the rain was fucking with my joints x'D

It is! I love vestibular/proproceptive input just in general, but being tossed around and having someone else initiate movement is even more fun. And yeah, definitely, just seeing how rolls work is so good for knowing how your body is on a given day.

aha, yeah, those sound like they'd be correlated :)
