Snake, I Can't Thank You Enough For Your Kind Judgement. The Replay w/ Wrists Was A Miss Click - I Was Tooooooo Used To The Reg Clap - I Can Assure You This Won't Happen Again. Thanks Again Oh Yeh And Zwift Too.

Last time I applied here, I was a green belt. I've played a couple games since then B).

Hello, I'm Ken/Gentleman. I first started playing Toribash in 2010 - this is my main account now after the whole in-game link fiasco from back then. Among my favorite mods are rk-mma, lenshu, tk, and of course, the aikido-variants (duh).

I like to think that I'm not as one-dimensional as some members of "competitive clans" - but with that being said, I am in one of those said clans, and for those high stake matches, I'll do what is expected and come out w/ arms blazing and be aggressive (you'll see an example of this in one of my replays). Otherwise, I play certain ways against certain people and I gear those different strategies accordingly (to mod).

I adapt my play style to suit the situation that I'm in. For example: when I'm up against someone who utilizes a two-turn kick, I prefer to clap, turn my chest inward and lumbar outward, leaving one foot planted as I use the other to sweep my opponent off their feet, return a kick of my own or set up a toss. When I'm against someone who plays just as passively in order to counter, I'll usually use something odd like a switchkick and do a few strikes before getting into a stable position - or force them to strike first so I defend + knock them off balance and toss. In regular aikido, or other versions w/ the normal sized dojo, I just like to go for basic tosses, getting below my opponent and then throwing them over myself.

I suppose I'm interested in joining Team Aikido for same reason I join organizations in general. Everyone here has a shared interest that I also have, so it'd be nice to get to know some people here and chill ingame w/ them.


Hopefully I added enough substance in my application and not too much description. Direct any general inquiries to me ingame or via PM.

Hugs & kisses.

[!] ALL PENDING APPS: For the time being we're going to test a new application method called player profiles. Essentially anyone who wants to join and contribute to [TA] can do so as long as you really want to be an active member of this org and not just have your name on a list.

So this time tomorrow the [Applications] thread will close and the [Player Profile] thread will open. Make your profile. Then as directed practice some hip throws on uke and post your best in [Replay Thread]. Good luck.

For the current applications that are being discussed, could we use the same replays & play style description (if we included it) in our application and copy it over to the Player Profile thread? Some of the required material in the new thread is met in some most of these applications already.

Yes use the same replays and description if you like. Profiles in essence are the same as applications but instead of voting we use them to track your progress.

[+] Gentleman: You have been accepted into [TA] through council voting. Welcome aboard and please continue to make your profile in [Player Profiles].

Science buddy your app looks great but we're converting to player profiles where you make one and you will be a part of [TA].

We'll be closing this application thread very soon.

It is replacing applications, with making player profiles. It's basically the same thing, but a different way about doing it.

Closed. Team Aikido is now open to all.

We are once again moving back to the older application model.

Lets be honest you probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for PP.
