Hi,
Mr. Morris, I may be nerd but when sparring I DO offer "Bait" frequently (e.g. elbow too high to see if they go for a rib shot, open groin to let me work on my shin conditioning and...) an overly extended hand/or fist...wouldnt believe how many grab my wrist...but as I set it up they 'usually' receive a preset response (often me trying out some EDITED Aikido tech)...thats #'s 1 & 2
as for #3, I have been privileged to witness foos in Tournament in
a.)Gi w/ American Flag (made me want to point out that Old Glory is NOT to be used as clothing and funnier yet,
b.) a dude in a camo Gi {couldn't quite get a look at him, so well camouflaged and all in a grey floor w/ wood bleachers to blend into})....then again, in Aikido past a certain rank and in Batto-Jitsu I wore a "skirt" (I know Samurai Chaps), there is something bout a "skirt"-think it's the airflow...not that I actually wear skirts unless The Mistress Commands...did I say that, I may have intended Master dictates...no, that sounds worse...forget the skirt thing...
***The ol Pinans/Heians whatever are like any Kata, a Menu, if I serve up my wrist for dinner at least I know what they have for dessert...
GO past..."whose gonna grab my wrist" to if I offer it what Fooo gonna grab my wrist
Besides those are killa illustrations I cant replicate what oldman made in less than 1 min, too long in words (OK in my shorthand, I know what I'm sayin even if no one reads this far I got to use the word 'killa' in a peaceful context.
-Karl. Peace. Fish or hook Bait:)
