Talk:
"Some think there is no fighting in aikido. In aikido, you do not allow others to control you. Keep control of yourself through the four principles. When you control yourself, you control the situation. Harmony does not mean do with me what you will. When you are in harmony with nature, you are in control."
Exercises:
Exercise. Put your hand on your head. Tell yourself it is glued and cannot move. Have partner test. (Similar to weight underside,)
Exercise. Sit lotus. Keep one-point. Have partner push from behind. After an interval, get up and walk away.
Exercise. Bend to tie shoe. Keep one-point. Partner push from behind.
Exercise. Make contact with other's extended arm very gently -- like a towel draped over his arm, same gentleness. With ki, push other's arm down.
