I'd steer clear of that chestnut. Aikido makes the same claims and in theory it's true, in reality if you stand next to someone and put your arm around their shoulder, drop your hip below theirs, and start to pull down a bit on your arm at the same time as you lift their feet off the ground by standing back up (a simple judo hip throw--koshinage?) you can fuck their shit up pretty good when they land on the pavement. Just ask me about the time I was horsing around while drunk. It is true, horseplay does lead to tears.

Now as a martial art designed strictly for putting kittycumboddy on people, Judo and Aikido are not your top choices. Morning stars, maces, tactical nukes, seige engines, WD-40, are all better choices.

Well, okay, now you've gotten me. Even Google doesn't know what kittycumboddy means.

We're going to have to kill you. Nobody is supposed to know about WD-40.

I'll stick with the Glock 23, thanks.
