Aikido3D is a bit controversial, but still it has got a good purpose. The today's people like to read or learn about something interactively. People who are interested about aikido and heard about it they have a great opportunity to see (interactively) techniques without going to a real dojo. Probably they won't learn much but I think it can make people more interested and make them to go and try it in a dojo. This case it's purpose is already fulfilled.

Keep up the good work.

thanks for this post. I just spent three hours trying to fold an used hakama for the first time; it wasn't stored properly so the pleats were all wrong… I’m still unsure about whether I was able to fix them (-_-)’ as you say, the most difficult part is getting to the “start position”. there’s so much stuff going on under those pleats!

Thanks, it was indeed very helpful.

noreply@blogger.com (Masur) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 23:29:00 +0000

Our sense of time is dependent on how many things we are attending to (rather than how much we are attending to them).

The more details we attend to, the slower time seems to travel; the fewer, the faster.

In general, the more familiar we are with something, the less attentive we are to it, and thus the faster time seems to flow relative to it.

Likewise, when our attention is absorbed by one thing, we stop paying attention to everything else that's going on around us and...again, the fewer, the faster.

This is why when we become hyper-attentive to our surroundings (as with some responses to extreme stress), time seems to slow down--the more detail taken in, the slower time seems to go.
