This has nothing to do with cypherpunks, but I just could not resist
seeing a reference to a martial art that I still love to practice. Dan
most likely refers to Aikido (and not Judo) here. A martial art that
uses the momentum/force of the "partner" to disarm h{im,er} and change
the "attack" to a victory in your advantage...
