I think there's an emotional bias somewhere in your train of thoughts because of the efforts we put in Teamaikido, but aikidobigdojo ain't no threat ^^

aikidobigdojo is kind of a mix between tk & aikido.tbm + instagib. The idea is fonny, it may become a popular mod, but it wont ever REPLACE aikido, imo.

I'm very neutral about aikidobigdojo, I really don't see it replacing aikido.

"hey, it's just another mod and another community, it would not hurt us, right?"

abd was introduced for some league to get rid of lifters. nobody was thinking that by making dq less probable metagame will change so yeah, we all know the result. at the moment there is one org that still follows the "traditions" of old aikido7 room, you can gues which one and it's considered "elitist" or even "self-righteous" since it holds atleast some kind of standards.

do we want the very same thing to happen to wushu?
