Seagal. Love 'im or hate 'im, you gotta love his form.
I've been studying Aikido for a long minute with no true goal nor personal expectation. I convinced myself I was comfortable simply studing the art of passive resistance... "The way of Harmony with Universal Energy. " I'm a quick impulsive study, I
would very quickly learn the techniques but have not aquired any sort of form. By form..., I mean posturing, correct timing, peace. Timing and posturing is simple; that requires daily practice. Peace on the other hand..., that's difficult. Very few of us are ready for peace or disciplined enough to still our busy minds. Maybe its the hubris of youth, t
he facade of immortality, the surburban conditioning that the world we live within is ordered and spontanteous vi
olence is abherrant. And by violence I mean human and environmental violence. I would practice daily with no goal in mind.Then one day I realized instead of being organic with my practice I was cheating myself. With no goals of excellence set forward, I saw no path. So I've decided to take my practice serious. As a byproduct result i've begun testing. I view kyu tests as sign posts not destinations. I'm walking now.
