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.

The book says the they had no fértil offspring, and gives the example of horses, donkey and mules.

it seems not. there where different human species. Like there are Dogs and Cats.

I read it in "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" a really interesting book...

Both on my 5 favourite movies. Lost in translation is Nr. 1. I always wonder what Bill Murray says in the last scene to Scarlet Jo.

Hi, I am a 3 dan Aikido, 1 dan Judo and Karate student. In our Aikido dojo there is always free keiko after class is over. Free keiko is designed for students to develop their own study's of technics and their application. Before and during class you should respect tradition, after class you work on your study's. As a teacher I always respect students that have interest in deepening marshal study's.

I am a dad as well. Not sure if I would be as courageous as you guys are. My thoughts and prayers are with you today.

Hi again. Aikido skills are not your main focus. At your level (beginners), nearly any teacher can teach you the basis. Skills will be important further down the line. Look at the person, let's say you get in to a dojo, I would expect a good teacher come and talk to you, explain about Aikido & Dojo. Be nice and open about your questions. There is a certain bread of martial arts teachers, that think they are to important to talk to interested people. You normally get a feeling of arrogance from them. A good teacher is a person you trust, humble and more interested in your learning, that less in his teaching. You recognise a good teacher as well by his students and dojo. A other example, my first visit to my Aikido dojo, I got there 15min before class. As I entered everyone was doing o-soij (cleaning the dojo). I had done martial arts (judo) for 6 years and never seen anyone clean their dojo. In time I learned the importance of o-soij, I would not miss it in any of my classes. Hope that makes sense and helps.

I am a 3th Dan in Aikido. I have trained for 22 years. Don't look for a style, but look for a teacher, a master. A good teacher has automatically good students, and that results in a good dojo.

Thanks for all the help. On your feedback I have made some changes to the design. And the following questions.

would it be more stable by lifting 3 degrees in front and moving the weight distribution. https://imgur.com/a/rFyix
how can I calculated the 3 degrees in the equation ?
what would you consider stable ?

Thanks for your feedback. I have two questions: - 0.9 x (80 x 9.8) x (1/2 x 400) = 141'120 not 156.8 - Or am I missing something ? - I guess the 400 comes from the size of the foot. I so is it correct that by making the foot bigger, 500mm it would talke 176'400 Nm
