After watching my sensei (10th don jujitsu), i have come to believe that the only difference between jujitsu and aikido is pain. Professor Cates is the best jujitsu teacher going on THIS side of the road. I just had the most juvenile urge. i think I will submit to it. "My martial arts mentor could beat up YOUR martial arts mentor!!!" Honestly though...aikido has its roots in jujitsu. Jujitsu has a lot less finesse and delicacy than aikido. It's really just the 'beat you down and make you cry' art. And because net handles are like Russian names, I have to make sure...quotheraven.com, right?
