Fear of Rolling in Aikido



Fear of rolling,
a conditioned response.
Memories of injury cemented into neural pathways,
triggering anticipation and pre-reaction.
Imperfect circles result.  A wheel off its axis.  

Refocusing, redirecting purpose and intent,
avoidance replaced by motivation.
Now unified movement, force, direction,
a picture of strength becomes possible.
Fluidity within a perfect frame.
