Counterpoint. I had a friend who took Aikido where he learned rolling falls. He was quite proud of his abilities and I wound up taking him to the emergency room after he dislocated his shoulder doing a roll off his car hood.


Doesn't sound like he really internalized the spirit of Aikido


Not a counterpoint at all. Without his aikido skills he might have sustained a much more serious injury!


He was doing it on purpose though to demonstrate his skill. (Admittedly there may have been a few beers involved).
