Practicing aikido is much like volunteering to be a lifeguard at the beach. We willingly put ourselves in danger to save others without judgement, knowing the situation is unpredictable and chaotic, and that either of us could die. With that in mind, a recycled plastic water jug becomes a "flotation device" in the hands of the aikidoist. The container/life preserver is representing an expanding field of ki.
