I go in for aikido. Simply “because it is graceful”...
Also, because the “heady air” after training creates an illusion of being in the mountains...
In numbers – for 10 years already.
But closely (honestly) – for five years.
To train honestly and closely means to “break and fall”… stand up… “break and fall”… AGAIN stand up… “break and fall”….Feeling no breath… The heart beats off-scale… When the training session is out, you understand – “I did it honestly”… I did not just “come and wave my hands and my arms”...
As in the mountains – I climb on a peak... Feeling no joy and no grief... But mere exhaustion... Understanding – “I’ve made it”… I sit there for a while and have a smoke… and go down…
Suddenly, at a regular training it “stroke” me... (I train in the mornings with my good friend.)
I seem to “know how to do”, but I don’t understand the idea.
I move my arm “here”, my leg “there”, I “stretch” here but “fell short” there… I have to “feel” these things...
In a way, it is similar to programming – when they ask me, “How do you do this?”, “How did you know the error was there?” or “How would you find the error?”...
The answer is ANYHOW...
I just do it “a million times”… Straight and tiresomely…
It is impossible to EXPLAIN…You have to fall – a MILLION times, straight and tiresomely…
And you have to swing your blade a MILLION times… RIGHT.
I swung my blade a MILLION times… WRONG.
NOW I will learn to do it RIGHT.
It is similar to programming.
Wait!... I have not been in the mountains yet… BUT this is a separate story…
P.S. My most “fundamental” developing were made in the mountains… when I was hanging another rope… in isolation from computers…

P.P.S. You always have to imagine that your opponent holds a knife in his hand.
