Few blocks away from my friends house is large hard top playground field. Every morning 10 or so people of Asian decent practive Tai Chi. Lately other group joined them practicing with swords. I usually pick him up in the morning to go hiking or kayaking and just stare at them with amazment. I anticipate every move and wait for it and eveything is so beautiful and graceful.

I just practiced Ju Jutsu for 6 years and I rememeber how harsh it was. It was brutal. Maybe it was a Sen Sei who cared much for proper execution not transitions. But I guess that's what you get for combining Judo and Karate into one. Other forms of fighting like Kung Fu, Aikido and even Capeoira have so much more grace. Not only you kick some but you also look good doing it.
