The Squish

You Budo yes, you Budo no, you Budo maybe...you get the squish, just like grape.

This is a modified quote from the Karate Kid.

When I see martial arts that are just not to my liking (through a lot of therapy and shock treatment I have learned not to say "those martial arts that suck") I have conditioned my brain to reflect on something that Niina Gosoke said once:

As long as they are having fun...but it's not Budo...

At the time he was watching a video and the participants were clearly enjoying what they do. He said nothing negative. He smiled and said it looks like fun!

But, it was not Budo.
