comment Drills for reducing your natural “flinch” reaction
@SimonPeterChappell - Though flinches can be an automatic behaviour of the nervous system (the lizard brain response), they can also be based on fear (the monkey brain response).

comment How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation?
+1 very good points - especially about confrontation avoidance and defusing potential for violence and defending actions in a court of law. On that point, prior study of the laws regarding self-defense in your municipality can help with application of reasonable force; what the law states and what common sense might dictate are not necessarily the same.

comment How to select the right Aikido dojo
Good points- though I don't agree that at least one-third of the students should be black belt. Black belt rank is just an indicator (not a goal), and the rate of advancement differs from school to school, so this can be very misleading.
