Pregame preparation
Watch this and take a nap.

Say what??

This is what explaining the Sicilian Taimanov(or any chess defence) sounds like to a non-chess player.

I watch NFL football and I swear I barely understood  a thing.

Things I should know but don’t but this is a nice way to learn.

Start young!
No, not chess prodigies.

Triangle Choke
Cool!
The defender wins. Like Petrosian.

Combinations
Very similar to chess.

Basics and History
More cool things from Japan. This time refined and made new in Brazil.

A Defensive Martial Art
Use your opponents force against him. A bit like Petrosian?

The physics of Aikido, wave motion, changing your center of gravity,  the redirection of force etc..

Interesting was Senator Robert Kennedy’s bodyguard vs Aikido master…
