- I'm lost! My knowledge of Aiki(do) indicates that locks do not (I repeat
- do not) rely on pain for effectiveness. If you've been taught that, then
- I believe someone is feeding you @#$%. Yes, pain is nice, but the technique
- alone should be sufficient. By the way, you can't just stand there with
- any given technique and let the person reorient themselves. Only by
- pinning them (imo) can you truly control someone -- especially someone
- larger than your self.
-
- I'll admit that my experience with Aiki(do) is minimal -- I just started
- in '84. My Karate knowledge is a bit more comprehensive.
