The first one was what I meant hehe. Though it's a shame about the less-than-optimum state of your body. Really reinforces how fragile the human body is in the grand scheme of things... we really are glass cannons...

Hadn't actually thought that deeply about it before, but that does seem to be the case nowadays. Not sure if it's the same case in the UK, but I'd heavily assume it is. All that considered, Aikido does seem like the best martial art for self-defence in our overly politically correct, proportionate response, question-everything-ten-times world. That said, I wouldn't mind having a more destructive martial art in my 'self-defensive' repertoire. Because even in our modern age, overwhelming still tends to be a very effective deterrent, for better or for worse; after all, if they know you can kick their arse, they might think twice before attacking (or continuing their attack)...

Ahhhhhh, well if I ever do decide to pursue Korean I can be relieved I won't have to deal with that issue ^^
