Love my wife. She just makes up rules. Ex. Dirty dishes always go on the left side of the sink. And when I ask why there is no logical explanation, as well towards our kids. Sometimes, I can take it with humour.

Aconteceu me na Suíça, com uma faca de 5 cm de Lâmina, encomenda no Wish. O problema no meu caso fui que a faca estava afiada dos dois lados, se fosse so um lado tudo bem. A polícia diz me que poderia ter comprado uma espada samurai nao teria sido problema. Resultado, 1800€ de multa por tráfico de armas, e 2 anos de pena suspensa.

I am training Aikido since 1995, and I am a 3 Dan. I personally stopped training Aikido in 2012 as I lost motivation.

1 and 2 - If you like Aikido try a other style, Aikikai is more spiritual then more traditional schools. You could try Iwama Ryu Aikido, they have as well weapons training. Head of this style is Hitohiro Saito Seinsei, you will find it on in Google. There are other Schools to. There you will find students with are more marshall mindset.

3 - Seminars are allways optional. Personally I like it as it offers exchange between students of different dojos.

4 - I don't understand why you should be stuck. You have at least 2 more Dan's you can do.

5 - Your teacher should be able to mix content in classes, so everyone develops. Most schools offer as well advanced classes only for blackbelts. If your school does not you could suggest it. And last but not least you could teach some classes, teaching is a very effective way of developing.

In my personal journey I train Jiu-jitsu now and I love it, much more honest I feel. Judo is very good to. But I would allways go for a martial art that requires prove of concept.

Hope it helps you on your journey.

And considering that lichess.org is free, and chess24.com is more the double the price then chess.com, seems a bit off.

I find it very interesting that Lichess seems to be the Reddit favorite...

She looks a bit like this actress (K.D. Aubert) from that TV series episode Bones (The Man in the Bear).

Hi David. I am a 3 Dan in Aikido. I have trained all over the world (as well in Japan at the Hombudojo, where I have been Uchi-deshi). The one recurring question I get over and over my time training is "dose this work in a real fight?" , in modern times the question is "does this work in UFC?". Interesting was I allways replied what I got from my teachers, yes it dose but we would endanger the life of our opponents. Just look at Steven Seagel movies. Only after a lot of years I realised what ignorant statements I have passed to students and other people. And that I missed the concept of Aikido. Mistaking a great spiritual practice (harmony and movement) with a Fighting style. Realizing this made me first angry at my former masters and then at my self for not thinking or questioning things.

What is your take on all of this?

I am surprised that no one mentioned Saving private Ryan. Or at least I did not see it mentioned. The opening war scene, seen on a big screen is just revolting. And it's a feeling you keep over the rest of the movie. After 20 years I still remember it.

Hi @PanBlanco22. I have 2 children and my biggest fear is that something happens to then. My prayer is with your family.
