Lets stop insulting each other and back to the thread. The underlying theme with my thread was that everyone must always push themselves at there own level. I practice in Yoshinkan Aikido which is considered a 'hard style' of Aikido, and Im not saying that means its better! Picking fights with people is not the answer but Soke Gozo Shioda always said ''we are practicing martial artists, and we must have the courage of our conditions''. Here's an example on a summer school in Britain the Sensei taking the session suggested that the next morning who ever wanted to could get up at 6 and complete 2000 sword cuts. We had down 1500 the year before, everyone turned up men and women. After we were exilerated and now doing 100 sword cuts in normal training seems like nothing.

Any views?
