You've practiced Spitting Out the Hook and reviewed the movie clip from "The Matrix." You've also seen Tom Crumm in action in his video. This assignment is intended to activate your imagination and creativity. I'd like for you to dig a little deeper now and compare what you see with Neo's (Keanu Reeves) experience while being targeted by the "machines" attacking him and the bullets coming his direction and Spitting Out the Hook. Look beyond the violence in the clip and see if you can find any aspects of Aikido in it. How does Neo's response align with Aikido and how does it digress? Can the scene from "The Matrix" serve as a metaphor for Spitting Out the Hook or for the Four Steps in an Aikido Move? Can you suggest a better or comparable metaphor? Relax and stretch your thinking. You may also look for some ideas from the Tom Crumm Video. Just enjoy exploring while completing this exercise. Write approximately 300 - 500 words and submit your file as a .doc, .docx, or a .pdf
